Yes, in 1.0 disc packs, series 2. Make sure it days series 2 on the pack because the others won't have any chance to get those particular 2, and the packaging on the 1.0 discs all pretty much looks the same.Anybody know if you can get the Frozen terrain/sky discs in the random power packs?
Nope. It plays music from a stock music library instead of something from the film: https://youtu.be/XGwzffut8n4?t=1m6sGood to know. Does the sky one play the "Let it Go" song in the background like the Wreck it Ralph one plays "Sugar Rush"? My three year old would go insane over it if that were the case.
What is AWD? (I'm a rookie)Picked up Toybox Speedway for 14.84 on AWD just now. Seemed like a good price.
Cool. Added. Let's see if we can get two more to knock this darn things out!Stmelmo - feel free to add
Mickey, Minnie and Olaf are all adorable and a lot of fun to use in-game. Ezra, Kanan and Obi Wan are great as well since characters with lightsabers are so much fun to play with.Ok...today is the last day of the BB sale for 7.99 figures with GCU. I was going to hold off buying any more, until the holidays, but really don't want to wait that long, thinking of going in and grabbing 2 or 3 more later today. Here's who I still need as far as what's been released:
Mickey
Minnie
Both Tron figs
Olaf
Kanan
Ezra
Zeb
Obi-Wan
Han Solo
Since I bought Chewy I feel like I should grab Han, but then I feel the same way about Obi-Wan because of Anakin. Don't really care about the fx thing, just wanting to grab the most fun and badass characters mostly. Any advice about anyone in particular?
The Tron figures are great, and complement each other well (Sam Flynn long range specialist, Quorra close range/melee) and have cool kill animations and (especially with Sam) references from the classic film. Zeb is a hand to hand brute, with the ability to wall crawl, bringing a unique play style to the Star Wars universe.Ok...today is the last day of the BB sale for 7.99 figures with GCU.

Sorcerer Mickey was a 1.0 character. A majority of those are disappointing compared to later editions. Maleficent is 2.0's take on him. 3.0 Mickey is nothing like SM; he is more similar to 2.0's Donald Duck, with his "throwing a lot of crap" mechanic. While this is less appropriate for Mickey, who has a Zen-like control over his emotions, he should still prove fun to play with.Thanks for the tips. I'm interested in the SW Rebels characters but I have only seen bits and pieces of the show so far so I feel like I will be more pumped for them if I watch it more.
I've heard more than one person say the Tron figures are fun as well. I still need to see the newer film also, though.
As far as Mickey and Minnie go, I was really dissapointed with Sorcerer Mickey in 1.0 and I think that has made me want to shy away from them. I know that they have far more abilities than he did, though.
Lol. I ended up going with Zeb, Kanan, and Olaf for my daughter. I liked the idea of Zeb having a unique moveset and the ability to use him in the playsets. I foresee myself getting most of the others though, either on the next sale or during black friday deals. The Hulkbuster Iron Man is going to be a must-buy for me."throwing a lot of crap" mechanic.
I went out today to pick up some power discs, and then bought Darth Vader, Yoda, and Obi-Wan. I bought Mickey and Minnie for my kid earlier this week. Those were pretty much my must-haves, and I don't even have 3.0 yet.Lol. I ended up going with Zeb, Kanan, and Olaf for my daughter.

I'm with you. I don't have the game yet, but I have Mickey, Minnie, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and the two extra playsets that are out. I just ordered Han and Chewie as well. I'm sort of regretting buying Obi-Wan and Yoda though. I just ordered them to qualify for free shipping a while back. I will probably try to buy all of the Light FX figures and double dip. At least I resisted buying Vader (so far).I went out today to pick up some power discs, and then bought Darth Vader, Yoda, and Obi-Wan. I bought Mickey and Minnie for my kid earlier this week.

My kids love Donald Duck, so I'm sure M&M will be fun for them as well. So I fully recommend those two.
Here's a link to the power disc trade thread:I'm trying to collect the 2.0 power discs now that they are actually cheaper. I'm still missing about 12 Disney Originals and 17 Marvel. I need to get to trading I suppose. I somehow have 3 Infinity Gauntlets. That one seems kind of rare. I ordered 15 more packs, but I'm probably setting myself up for failure. I think I just about have a second set of series 1 and series 2 discs from 1.0 because I bought so many when they were on sale. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the marvel discs much cheaper though because all of my stores seem to be sold out. The Disney Originals are still pretty easy to find at TRU and BB stores around here at least.
I keep waiting for that Guardians of the Galaxy Power Disc album to drop in price at Gamestop. All of my stores have it in stock still. I need 3 discs that are included in that one too. I could do $12.50 like the "Originals" album I bought at TRU, but $25 is just too much.

ive always received multiple discounts on additional items, but i would keep an eye on the total to be sure. also read the fine print and make sure it doesnt have a limit of 1. (its usually 4)Does anyone know if I pick up both Takeover and Speedway, will Cartwheel take 50% off both with one scan on the same purchase? I've never made multiple purchases of a single Cartwheel deal so wondering how that will work out.
For $10 I'd say sure, but Takeover is the better game. The AI in Speedway is absolutely BRUTAL though - good luck making the top 3 even at 50cc, and if you have younger kids, they're going to be really frustrated with the difficulty.Was thinking of getting getting the toy box speedway with cartwheel. Can anyone recommend? I know it's probably not as good as MK 8 but is it at least fun and worth a $10 purchase?
Thanks for the heads up on that. Picked up Crystal Mickey finally as it was my last 2.0 to pick up.Don't know if this was mentioned yet, but Best Buy has all 2.0 figures at 7.99. Comes to 6.39 after GCU.
I just did tonight. It was right before closing and I had some other items to mask the discount. I tried to buy a 2.0 starter pack doing the same thing last week and I was turned down three times at three different stores. That policy is no joke now in my area at least. Ymmv.Thanks guys, I think for $10 I'll pick it up. Need to start Christmas shopping for my boys too
Anyone have success price matching toy box takeover at target and getting the cartwheel discount?
Merida, with her riccocheing arrows, is one of the best range fighters, and has formidible melee skills too. Maleficent is good too, with lots of powerful attacks, both at long range and close up. She can also fly and heal herself. Hiro Hamada has some powerful, and extremely cool looking, attacks. He's also got a "run" attack reminiscent of Dash and Hulk. Finally, we have Elsa, whose freezing abilities are still unique to her, and in pre-3.0 versions, she's so powerful, it borders on cheating. She's less overwhelmingly dominant in 3.0, but still highly effective, especially when playing with others (she freezes, the other players finish the now defenseless enemies off). However, she's 1.0, so she's missing features, like special moves and block breakers, that characters from later installments have.I was able to snag the Collector's Edition of the Marvel set using the Cartwheel discount. After a couple days of fun with it I decided to buy the rest of the Marvel figures from Best Buy.
With that said, I'm not exactly a fan of Disney in general. Are there any Disney-based figures or playsets (from any version) that are considered "essential" because they're so good? Or does it come down to who you like best) I've only ever seen the Toy Story movies, Aladdin, Lion King, and random Mickey, Donald, and Goofy shorts so don't know much about the Disney lore.
I do plan on picking up 3.0 and the Star Wars stuff when prices look the the 2.0 prices now. Hope Muppets make can arrive with 4.0 because I'll get all those too!
I don't know if you still want to mess around with 1.0 at this point, but if you do, I personally enjoyed some of the playsets in that one more than 2.0.I was able to snag the Collector's Edition of the Marvel set using the Cartwheel discount.

This irked the hell outta me with both being Manhattan. One had Avenger buildings the other Spiderman but all were essentially the same.I don't know if you still want to mess around with 1.0 at this point, but if you do, I personally enjoyed some of the playsets in that one more than 2.0.
but both the Avengers and Spider-Man sets essentially looked the same and it was basically a generically rendered NYC. The big difference is the 2.0 characters themselves could do a lot more.
Yes.Anybody know if you can get the Frozen terrain/sky discs in the random power packs?
I got toy box takeover for $7 at target too with Amazon price match and cartwheel. I want to pick up the speedway set too but this particular store was out.Thanks to whoever clued me in on the Toybox expansion cartwheel discount. I was able to pricematch Takeover on Amazon and get it for $7! Add that to the time I got Speedway for $12 and I'll gladly take two for the price of one.
Nova will definitely be someone I pick up soon, then! Didn't realize he was that good.I love nova for his quick flying abilities, vadar looks amazing and will be my next buy (light fx)
Yeah, I am loving Hulk. Especially using him in the Toybox Takeover expansion. He's just unstoppable.Hulk's a beast. Level him up completely and enjoy those super jumps and ridiculous power.
If you want to get someone from Disney, Merida is another good ranged attacker and Maleficent is fun to play. I don't have my Baymax leveled up very far yet, but at least he flies and can carry the other guy (can't remember his name) around.
I personally liked the Pirates of the Caribbean set from the 1.0 starter pack! Being able to sail around was cool and it had a lot of stuff to search for.I was able to snag the Collector's Edition of the Marvel set using the Cartwheel discount.

Uhhhh... not sure HOW... as I've unlocked a butt ton of them. But yea, tons of different cars. 3-4 racers from Wreck It Ralph, couple of SWs ones, and some Disney ones. Also a couple of motorcycles. None of those require discs. Discs add even more.Can you unlock more cars in the speedway or is it just limited to the basic green, red, yellow cars + any power discs you have?
I was hoping to drive around in more disney cars, not just the generic ones + my general grevious wheel speeder.
Once you get close to the end you will probably find you need 5 or 6 discs to finish a set but you have 15-20 dupes. That's just the way it usually plays out. I ended up with like 3 Yondu's and 4 Infinity Gauntlets but couldn't get a Ghost Rider whip to save my life. Eventually you'll get doubles of discs that others need and you just start trading doubles to finish up. There's a power disc trade thread in the CAG trading section.Thanks to the cheap discs at TRU I now have a smallish collection, only disappointment is that I am quickly amassing a collection of doubles. I have like 3 Iron Fist alt costumes and I think 4 Ant Man discs now. Super surprised that I've gotten Infinity Gauntlet already but have yet to run into either the Iron Patriot team up disc or the Iron Man/Cap alt costumes.
