THIS is what I wish amiibos were so amazing
Nothing like it though. Is like Escape from Kyln, which is close Diablo in perspective, beating tons of enemies and collect loot.If it's anything like Brave Forest Siege, I'll really enjoy it. Problem is that people who bought it digitally (like me) can't get it yet.
Though I bought the game digitally, I got Takeover at retail; at launch. Try around a Gamestop orToys R Us. Best Buy and Target seem to have problems with their allocations.

I hear you my friend. In a perfect world we could combine all these toy to game figures into one giant game and play with them how we want!

Yes, and we could all live in a house together. We would call it "The Poor House".

But one littered with adorable little Disney and Nintendo figures : )

Hi guys Im new to Disney Infinity and I wanted to make sure what I should buy next. I bought 3.0 digitally through my PS4, a used base from Gamestop, and have an old Jack figure from 1.0. From what I understand I need some sort of white see through figure to play Inside Out and the Star Wars. Is that all there is? And are power disks toys or a specific power up?
You can only use Jack in the Toy Box related modes.
The clear figures bundled with 2 characters are playsets. Only the characters from that playset can play on them. Indide Out characters in Inside Out, Star Wars in Star Wars playsets, etc.
Playsets from 1.0 and 2.0 can only be used in those respective games.
Power Discs are powerups for any charscter whie you play.

Ah, ok. Makes sense now. So are those bundles with the playset and two figures the only way to get the playsets? The Leia, Luke, and Death Star playset for instance.
Yes, outside of places like perhaps eBay.

Any impressions of rise against the empire? I'm not seeing reviews online. Star Wars is the entire reason I jumped on this bandwagon

How does the toybox work? Are most of the items for building available at the start or do I have to buy more and more play sets to unlock the content?
You unlock things by just messing around and playing games within the toybox, unless you mean the actual playsets

Got my Tron Legacy figures today, shame it's probably the last bit of Tron merchandise we see for awhile. Also double shame that there wasn't a level pack for them.
Ugh. Don't remind me.

You buy toy box items through the toy store with sparks that you collect by defeating enemies in any game mode. Some items however are locked behind playsets so they are required if you want everything for the toy box.

So I got to play Toybox mode and switch out Kannan with Captain America only for Kannan's hand holding the lightsaber to suddenly pop off. Had to use crazy glue just to get it back on properly. This is the first time I've had one of these figures break on me like this.
If we buy them all, they'll HAVE to make Tron 3. Right guys? Guys?
If only

It plays a lot like Twilight of the Republic only you're going through different events from the movie. It changes events from the movie a bit as you can play as either Luke, Liea, Han and Chewie at any time. So all four of them now know each other from the very beginning and escape from the Rebel ship in an escape pod to Tattooine. (Why the imperials don't fire on it I'll never know) and you work your way to Ben Kenobi's home where he gives Luke his father's lightsaber....one level after he's been using it the entire time.
Then, you are at Mos Eisly spaceport as a hub world where you are taking on various missions to get enough money to pay off Jabba and get the Millenium Falcon back. From there, you can fly into space, do some dog fighting and eventually end up on the Death Star. Then, you go dogfighting along the Death Star to blow it up and eventually you are at a new hub world of Hoth. You do have the freedom to fly your ship back to Tatooine if there's any missions you haven't finished. I think Endor's the final hub world/planet.
Both SW games are a lot of fun and spacing out the hub worlds into bite-sized chunks makes them feel a lot bigger. The melee action is great and does have a bit of that DMC feel. Luke can knock a Stormtrooper into the air with his lightsaber and keep juggling him by shooting him while he's stuck in the air. That never gets old.
My main complaints are the controls for flying in space and dogfighting take some getting used to. Mainly because the last 4 games had specific helicopter-like flight controls and this changes up things by quite a bit. Also, no clothing changes from one movie planet set piece to the next. Liea will be in her white dress and hair buns all the way to Endor.
Sadly, since the original trilogy play set is PS4 bundle exclusive until Sept 29 (right when Lego Dimensions comes out. Stupid Disney) I can't buy Han or Chewie to play as. Luckily getting all the hero coins allows me to play other Star Wars characters outside of their timeline in the main game. Now Ezra and Darth Vader can join together to help the rebels! XD
They need to make toybox Takeover a more full fledged game as this is pretty close to Skylanders and it makes great use out of all of my figures.

So if I bought this just for the Star Wars campaign, is it meaty enough for the price of admission? How long is it?
RobbieNick
Junior Member
Hmm....$20 for the digital game. $35 for the set = $55. It's about 6-10 hours long depending on how many missions you want to beat. It's about as fun as Lego Star Wars so it depends on how big a fan you are. Plus, you can always download more fan-created levels.

It also depends on how much you value physical merchandise.
Maybe people are just excited to get stuff now? I admit to having some slight buyer's remorse, and I'll probably ditch some of the characters I don't really want, but there's something about getting caught up in the excitement and experiencing it as it's all happening.

Don't forgot the portal, IMO your suggestion is more for someone who already has the portal from a prior game.
Christopher
Member
How many more playsets?
RobbieNick
Junior Member
Good point! Sorry. You can get the portal used for $3 at Gamestop, so you're still gonna be under $60.
I thought I read there would be at least three more: Force Awakens, Marvel Battlegrounds and something else unannounced. I can't find a source for that though so two for sure.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Once you unlock the farming plots you can use them in your own toy box.
Actual farming.
Crops feed your sidekicks which boost their stats, and some plants will also give you sparks.
You can buy additional plots.
Right now I am running four plots.
You can also get different hats which help narrow down which crop the sidekick wearing it will grow.
Not a playset, but the Sumo Digital-developed Toy Box Speedway (this fall, I think?) looks great!
Yeah, 2.0 was a pretty boring disappointment, I'm having more fun now with the toybox takeover than I had with any of the 2.0 playsets.
Maybe stupid question but how do you unlock the plots? I haven't yet and didn't see them to purchase.
RobbieNick

I love using the sidekicks in Toybox Takeover. I have Mabel for mine. She's equipped with a rocket launcher and Rebel pilot helmet. She can wipe out half the enemies for me, but she's always hungry. Can't feed her enough. Gonna start doing that farm thing.
They really need to expand the Toybox Takeover mode. It's like they're finally competing with Skylanders in terms of similar gameplay.

Just keep farming food. You'll start growing different types of food which will complete certain feats and reward you with new items.
Well, it is the actual Radio Disney station that plays from it in real time.

I'm really hoping that's what 4.0 is. We've done Pixar, Marvel, and now Star Wars. Either a full fledged Disney pack or a crossover event is what I'm hoping for. Toybox Takeover is such a good step in the right direction. I'd just rather the camera not be stationary from above though.
