To me, this was the biggest disappointment. I can understand when there are graphical differences involved, but in most cases, there never was. Not being able to use Nick Fury in the Avengers playset is beyond ridiculous.I'd just settle for being able to use all characters in every playset. There's no reason why they can't. Sure, some play sets from the first game, like Monsters University and Cars, require characters with specific skills to play, but there's none of that here. There really isn't any reason to restrict the characters, unless it's a concern of screwing up the lore, though Hulk, Cap, Hawkeye, and the rest show up in the cutscenes whether you own them or not, and there's text only on a majority of the interactions. They had no trouble with Syndrome and Davy Jones taking up arms against themselves in the first set, now they've got to justify why Nova and Rocket are involved in the Avengers, who exist in the same universe (even if they don't often cross paths). They should take a page from the Lego games and unlocking Free Play after you beat the set for the first time.
It's not YMMV. That's the price on their website.Not sure if this is old but I noticed my best buy had clearanced out all series 3 power disc packs, had them priced at $2.99 and an additional 50% off of that. With gcu I walked out with 3 packs for $4.xx. obviously ymmv but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Wasn't The Lone Ranger still in production when they made the playset? I'm so disappointed in the lack of non-Marvel playsets.To me, this was the biggest disappointment.

As far as Frozen, everyone complained that it was a huge missed opportunity that they didn't get their own game in 1.0. I remember an interview with the creators in which they said that Disney wouldn't release enough information about Frozen at the time for them to make a game about it. I wish they could've just made an add-on playpiece for 2.0 then, if that was the case. People would still buy it.
I'm guessing it's going to be the same excuse with BH6...they'll say that Disney had the film still in production at the time and they couldn't make them a playset.
I know the Toys R Us sale is over, but after failed attempts at Best Buy Friday and today I got Walmart to Price Match it a few minutes ago. Walked out with 2.0 for Xbox One for $21.19 with tax. Just used the picture of the sign from TRU and told them I just left there and they were sold out and that its an in store only sale. Took 3 stores but saved me a lot.man, the starter pack for Disney 2.0 infinity for the PS4 was priced at. $19.99 at My local Toys R Us also. I hesitated on buying it, though. Biggest mistake made this week.
A well-rendered San Fransokyo would have been amazing in Disney Infinity.I agree...so many missed opportunities (Big Hero 6, Anyone?)
I always thought that there should have been a reward that unlocked this in the first game - either for opening the vault, or for beating the quest storyline in the playset.I'd just settle for being able to use all characters in every playset. There's no reason why they can't.
I agree. That's why I always make sure to have the Avengers transforming bike nearby.After finally getting to play it, I don't get why you would ever use one of the non-flying characters. Even Hulk's ability to climb walls sucks in comparison to being able to fly...
He can be used in the Ultimate Spider-Man playset, because his character design is actually from that show, I guess? And in the Avengers one he's an NPC, so that might be why. Either way, you can spawn in flying vehicles or just swap the figures to fly somewhere and then swap back to a character that's good at fighting (Iron Fist, Captain America, etc)Wait Nick Fury can't be used in the Avengers playset? That gigantic Frost Giant display thing I stupidly bought has a slot for him...

The slot is for the yet to be released Loki, not Fury.Wait Nick Fury can't be used in the Avengers playset? That gigantic Frost Giant display thing I stupidly bought has a slot for him...

That makes sense, I guess, except... they'll let you play Loki against Loki, but Fury is off limits?The slot is for the yet to be released Loki, not Fury.
Maybe they're thinking that by the time Loki is released, you'll have already played through the story and won't bother doing so again.That makes sense, I guess, except... they'll let you play Loki against Loki, but Fury is off limits?
Yeah...it's kind of dumb...they did that in 1.0 with Syndrome vs. Syndrome as well.That makes sense, I guess, except... they'll let you play Loki against Loki, but Fury is off limits?

Marvel Starter packs are also 36 bucks with GCU this week at BBY.Just a heads up, K-Mart has the the Disney Infinity 1.0 play sets on clearance. YMMV on certain playsets, but the Wreck-It-Ralph one is $19.99 for sure. I picked that up along with the Lone Ranger playset that was $9.99 (YMMV) and the Toy Story playset, which was priced at $21.00 (YMMV). In addition to that, for those that missed out on that Toys R Us misprint ($19.99) last week for the 2.0 starter packs... Game stop is selling both starter packs for $39.99 each for every console. It's still a much better deal than $74.99...
I tweet Johnny V about Darkwing Duck and The Muppets regularly. In fact, I'm going to take credit for those items being in 2.0.If you're still disappointed in the lack of content for Disney Originals keep letting Disney Interactive know. I keep (nicely) reminding John Vignocchi that we'd like more out of the game.
It works instoreanyone has had luck getting GCU + the $5 off deal to work on BestBuy either online or B&M? I tried online today again with the new figures(GG and Ronan) and i only saw the GCU being applied but not the $5 off. Im gonna try going to BB during my lunch break and see if i can get it to work at B&M
Its not working online - won't take off more than one discount per transaction. Not sure if its an error or just a system limitation, but its the way it is.anyone has had luck getting GCU + the $5 off deal to work on BestBuy either online or B&M?

If you like creative games where you can build structures and whatnot, you might dig it. (Think Minecraft without the mining part.) Outside of that it's more or less your average movie license-based style of gameplay.I've never bothered to look into this thing or even look at it at stores because I assumed it was a really kiddy game, but I got the Venom toy thingy as a gift on Christmas and I'm not sure what to do with it. I'll admit that the design is pretty cool looking, but do I sell it? Open and keep it on my shelf? This Disney Infinity stuff seems like it would get super expensive just to play with. Is the game actually worth playing as an adult?
I assume you have an uninformed non-gamer to thank for this gift; the MSRP for the Avengers starter ($75) and the Spiderman Playset ($35) so you can use that figure in its intended environment is $110, so if they knew what they were doing then they were trolling you pretty badly. Your figure is widely available and MSRP's for $14. Single figures have been discounted as low as $10. You can do the math for yourself whether the amount of money you'll get back attempting to resell it is worth your time or not.I've never bothered to look into this thing or even look at it at stores because I assumed it was a really kiddy game, but I got the Venom toy thingy as a gift on Christmas and I'm not sure what to do with it.

Please start tweeting about Gargoyles.I tweet Johnny V about Darkwing Duck and The Muppets regularly. In fact, I'm going to take credit for those items being in 2.0.
So the special edition Rocket is available for order from Gamestop. What makes that version worth $5 more?
I think I'm going to preorder this. I don't have Rocket yet.So the special edition Rocket is available for order from Gamestop. What makes that version worth $5 more?
Personally, I think you should get a $40 Marvel starter pack. You have very little to lose. If you just play through the avengers playset and a few user levels and never touch it again, you've gotten your moneys worth already. However, if you get hooked . . . I wouldn't worry about the cost. If you need to get every last character, it will get expensive, but if you just get a few favorites, it won't be too bad. The playsets go on sale now and then, and if you wait long enough, they might clearance the current ones in favor of the Star Wars sets, or at least offer them in the $20-25 range (or less) like they did over the Thanksgiving to New Year stretch.I've never bothered to look into this thing or even look at it at stores because I assumed it was a really kiddy game, but I got the Venom toy thingy as a gift on Christmas and I'm not sure what to do with it.

Word of advice: if anyone is even remotely interested in this, pre-order it now. I had to conduct a search the likes of which no one should ever have to search for a toy for the LE Jack. I only found it by luck in one store 40 minutes away in the middle of nowhere some weeks after launch. And that's because I was calling around daily for it.

Second this. Jack was pretty much pre-order only, no store around here had extras. Had to check inventory constantly waiting for a store to have someone return/cancel, or not pick up at all.Word of advice: if anyone is even remotely interested in this, pre-order it now.

My store got 4 of each and all that was left was 1 Ronan by afternoon.I grabbed Ronan,Yondu, Green Goblin, and Captian America and a power disc pack yesterday from Best Buy. I got the last Goblin, there was only one extra Ronan, and a few left of Yondu. Is stock of new released figures generally this low,or were they just selling really well?

But I hate that it's Rocket. Just because I already have him. And since I have that LE Jack it's like I have to get Rocket.
Still cool though. Didn't think they were going to do the LE figures this time around. Messed up it's not for one of the new ones instead of one that's been out since launch. I would've loved to have seen Loki get his own LE

If it's just like the Jack LE, yes. It is exactly like the three-pack red base 'pods' (which still irks me that Ralph doesn't fit in), but with a custom base. The figure itself is no different.Its just a case right? Thats the only thing special about it? I'll stick with my Snapware
