Is there a Cliffs notes version of how this game works? I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about with bases and figures and toy boxes and WTF. I was going to start digging through reviews to find out, but I figure you guys might do an even better job of summarizing it . . .

I am in the same boat. I am buying this today due to my (unhealthy) Star Wars obsession but I have no idea how any of this works.
Can I just buy the game, bases (?) And the 2 figures for around $60? I saw the Starter pack is around $115 but I don't know what that entails. Just more figures?
There are two ways to play: Toy Box and Playsets. Playsets are franchise specific, so only characters from that franchise can be used to play through a certain playset (Star Wars characters on Star Wars playsets). Playsets are like campaigns, set levels with cinematics and voice acting.
Toy Box will let you play as any character, and you can either build your own levels or download pre-made or user made ones. There are many figures (such as the ones from older Disney films) that are only useable in Toy Box mode.

And the Original Trilogy playset is exclusive to the limited edition till 9/29... (which is why I went with the limited edition)
:/

So I won't be able to buy Boba seperatly? I am not a huge Boba fan (more of a Jango fan) but I have a buddy that loves him.
All figures, regardless of their version of origin, will work.
For those asking about digital (at least on Playstation)

"Heads up to the Playstation players out there who are purchasing the game digitally, you will not be able to play the game at launch. The Playstation digital edition will be available the following day, Monday August 31st.
Nintendo and Microsoft systems are unaffected. The digital titles for those systems will still launch on Sunday, August 30th."

That's odd, why activate the PlayStation versions a day later?

have a look on the back of sabines packaging says she can play in the Star Wars playsets too
Thanks. I'll use her then.
I figured she'd be available fully in Toy Box, but need to be unlocked by finding a collectible disc in the play sets. I meant to add that last part.
Going to start it this afternoon, probably after the baseball game. I feel like garbage due to a head cold, but want to play through it and get a review up.
You need to find her Crossover Coin to unlock her in each Star Wars play set, though.

Despite getting "release date delivery" on Amazon.com it appears that my package is tracking to arrive on September 3rd. The weird thing is that it arrived at my post office this morning. I'm hoping that expected arrival date is just an error and that it actually arrives today.

Grabbed Zeb.
Now to wait for my Best Buy Online order of the starter set to get here tomorrow. It was difficult to not purchase one today, but I have plenty of other stuff to keep my busy. Looks like the Toy Box Takeover isn't on backorder anymore either, and that is preparing to ship.

Will the 2.0 or 1.0 playsets work on 3.0?
Nope. Playsets only work with their numbered version of the game.

Have they announced when the Speedway will be released? There's no preorder for it on EB Games
You mean a day later?

Will old figures work with 3.0?

Thankfully you only need to find one per character instead of 10.
Yep.
Not this year, no. The box for the Saga bundle mentions he's exclusive to that bundle until December 31.
Nothing.
Disappointment.
This. The digital version is essentially an upgrade for existing owners.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.
You only have to collect one Crossover Coin per character (for those not native to the play set).
It's Toy Box only - old bases work with the 3.0 so you'll just need to buy the playsets separately (Star Warals and Inside Out).
Had a feeling since it was a similar situation for 2.0. Is the one that is sold in the Starter Kit sold separately? (Looks like it is!) Saving roughly $10 is nice then!
According to tweets from JV, they changed it so it was going to be available on PlayStation today as well. The question is when.

Great news. Thanks for the update!
Now I just have to wait for my Inside Out play set to get here the next day
Only Amazon downside.EDIT: Any solid impressions on which platform seems to perform better? I'd guess PS4 as usual.
The JV tweet was from a couple days ago, the Disney Infinity Twitter tweeted a minute ago that PS is still tomorrow.

At this point I'm highly skeptical about all the digital versions. I just really hate the discs and need to go digital. Well, if I need to wait then so be it.

Man walmart has nothing out and xbox is not releasing the download yet. Good thing I got the day off to play with my daughter. What the fuck is going on with those 2. Xbox holding it back for some reason? My only option is to drive an hour to target and get the core set that has it all at this point. Never seen a game be this fucked on release as far as wanting to play it - not even speaking for the servers or game issues.

Well they are selling the Twilight of the Republic playset stand-alone. But yeah it's really dumb that I can walk into a store right now and buy the playset but I have to wait to download a digital copy.
