Disney Infinity announcements are flying at us harder than a certain heroes hammer! Joining the Avengers will be the Spiderman playset with Nova, Iron Fist, Nick Fury and Venom in a special symbiotic adventure. First question that came to my mind was, “Will Nick Fury work in both playsets?” I hope the Marvel Universe will be interchangeable with a free range mode after missions are completed. I read a report where it mentioned players will be able to choose between twenty playable heroes! We have only scratched the surface of Infinity.

I purchased most of the Toy Box characters and now I’m going back to finish the Play Sets with all the characters. In hindsight, I should have purchase all the characters for a Play Set before I set out to complete it. There are places in the game where missions are unique to specific characters. When you reach one of these missions, swap the character out and complete the mission. Swap back to continue with the other character. Each character gains experience points separately. So power up your favorites and practice with the others as desired. As we draw closer to the 2.0 release I hope the price will drop on the first run characters and Play Sets and I will be able to find some of the harder to find characters.

A note for those looking for a certain character: They are out there somewhere. I have noticed that certain stores/regions received a large load of specific figures and less of others. This does not mean the character you want is rare or should cost more (not to say there are no limited or special additions). I’ve been told Violet is rare, Jack Skellington is hard to find , Syndrome is out of production… I found all of them in three stores today waiting for the right person to come along. I bought Barbossa and Mrs. Incredible. For those third party vendors stocking up and raising the prices… Shame on you. Did Toy Story 2 teach you anything? Toys are meant to be played with. Let me know when you rid of them.

One of the frustrations I’ve had with Infinity is the lack of a community to trade Disney Infinity Power Disks.  I meet people to trade pins, vinylmation and common knowledge. Where are the folks who bought thirty mystery packs to get 20 unique power disks? What did you do with your extras?  I gave mine to friends who have kids.

I found a used video game retailer that had 5 extras for a very affordable $1 per disk. Not only did I get to pick my disk without the fear of getting doubles, I did not have to pay five dollars shipping as seen on bay.

If you are looking to trade infinity power disks, send me a note. My favorite thing about Disney collectors is getting to know them. Why should pin traders have all the fun?
