Now that disc – clear colored instead of orange – can be purchased as part of the Series 2, at any retailer. When Infinity launched, Mike Wazowski's Car was an orange-colored TRU-exclusive disc. The heroine of Tangled, who can only be used in the Toy Box, is exclusive to Walmart until the end of the year.īut some of these are only sort of exclusive. He has no playset and can only be used in the Toy Box. While the Pumpkin King used to be exclusive to GameStop stores, that's no longer the case and you can now find him everywhere. The Frozen set isn't exclusive either, and buying the package will get you everything Frozen-related – the Anna and Elsa figures and the two Power Discs. In the new year, both should be available everywhere. Two characters from Disney's hilarious spoof of the world of retro videogames are available for use in the Toy Box mode, although until December 31 they're only available at separate retailers: Ralph can be purchased at Best Buy, and sidekick Vanellope Von Schweetz is only available at Target. Buy the Woody figure, which used to be exclusive to Walmart but not anymore, and you've got everything.
The Toy Story Playset package contains almost everything you need – the playset piece, a Jessie figure and a Buzz Lightyear (sadly not of the Crystal persuasion). We played through this a while ago and really liked it – it's not as good as The Lone Ranger, which might actually be the best of all the playsets, but it's fun. The final Playset release for Infinity is based on Toy Story. Hopefully they'll release him on his own at some point for those who own all that stuff already. Right now the only way you can get Crystal Buzz Lightyear is through the Race for Space pack, which includes a Crystal Lightning and two Power Discs. Incredible, Sulley, Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear and Jack Sparrow have been crystallized, and a leak from August suggests that Sorcerer Mickey will eventually get the treatment too. So far, Toys R Us is the exclusive home of the translucent Crystal figures. And of course, the in-game Hall of Heroes, a virtual shrine to all of the toys you've purchased, counts these variant figures as separate items, so there will be big lonely empty pedestals in your Hall unless you buy, buy, buy. Crystal Figure VariantsĪs with most toy lines aimed at adult collectors with more money than sense, Infinity has a line of variant figures so you can buy the same character twice. If you don't want to buy the whole bundle just for Mickey (or pay eBay prices), just wait until February 2014 when the mouse will be available on his own everywhere. If you don't have any of this stuff and plan on buying it all anyway, this is a significant discount over the retail price of everything (over $250).
So here's a guide to what's been released since the launch of Disney Infinity in August, where you can get it, and how you might be able to save at least some money doing it. But some are purely for use in creating your own levels in the game's Toy Box mode. Some of the figures come with their own Playsets, traditional action-game levels that give you 6-7 hours of play time. I don't blame you if you're confused at this point as to what's available where, and what exactly it does. That's mostly because it requires so much work (not to mention cash, at 13 bucks a figure) to get everything, since Disney has brokered a whole list of exclusive deals with big retailers that make sure that certain characters are only available in certain stores. Well, there's a good chance your collection isn't complete yet. Hey, did you buy Disney Infinity, the part-Skylanders, part-Minecraft videogame mashup of Disney's most popular franchises? Did you blow a bunch of money making sure that you bought all of the interactive figurines, playset pieces and Power Discs that add characters, levels and items to the game?
