I doubt many big name stores are breaking embargos these days. I was tempted to head over to the Magic Kingdom today to see if they were selling it early but I figured it wasn't worth the trip out just for that.

Collecting the figures is a fun hobby in addition to playing the game. They're pretty high quality, and they're reasonably priced when they're on sale. I wouldn't do it without the game functionality, but I can see why some people would.
Yes, lots of big improvements to the Toy Box in 3.0. It looks to be worth it, even if you don't care for Star Wars.

Being doing that since 1.0. Not much of a fan of the game (maybe 3.0 got really better).

I almost bought the Marvel 2.0 set, but lukewarm reviews kept me from buying it. Looks like I might be trying to hunt this down tomorrow.
Is the Star Wars Saga bundle going to be available or was it a limited edition preorder thing?

Amazon seems to be delivering Monday even though they offered release day delivery. Sunday releases are lame.
Yeah, I'm a little bummed because they had been doing Sunday deliveries in my area ... but, oh well. It is what it is. I was able to get it because of trade in credit on Amazon, so I'm not going to complain about a day.

How long is the play set's campaign? I'm planning to play through it tomorrow.
I got the Sabine character at E3, but she's likely only available in Toy Box.

You may want to get those Marvel figures anyway for the new play set coming out. While you can't use the play sets from 2.0, I do recall the ability to use the assets from said play sets in the Toy Box.

She can play any Star Wars playset.
They just barely fixed the Violet supply.
I'm a sucker for anything and everything Star Wars and amiibo have already broken me so I'm awfully tempted to pick this up tomorrow even though the gameplay hasn't quite grabbed me.
Are there any Infinity characters with unique and fun gimmicks? I know Violet back in 1.0 is apparently op but that's it.

heads up
the Best Buy deal (Buy 3 Get 1 Free on All DI items) is now live on the website. Does not work with pre-orders (such as darth maul), but it does work on EVERY item available as of 8/30 including the game itself and playsets, and older items from 1.0 and 2.0. Works with GCU.
So you could buy (two possible examples):
game + playset + figure + free figure
or...
figure + figure + figure + free figure (After GCU + tax you are paying about $9 per figure, super good deal for launch day!)
This is the best launch day deal by far! You can also do this in-store. Website has in-store pickup options.

have a look on the back of sabines packaging says she can play in the Star Wars playsets too
I think she'll just be available everywhere.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but I'm not seeing anything about Toy Box Takeover listed on their page? Is that still being included?
This was my reaction as well.
And it has come at such an unfortunate time as last month I started collecting Lego and earlier in the year I discovered the wonderful world of action figures. No idea how my wife is still so supportive! Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This now only works for 3.0 figures only.

Great that it is reviewing well. Going to wait for Black Friday because it and Skylanders always get discounted.

Yeah, the 2.0 Xbox One base will work on the 3.0 Xbox One game.

Cool but where is the download link for the xbox one so I can get it for the $30 instead of having to buy another core set? Google and the xbox store on the PC show nothing. Feels like it is being hidden so you don't even know about it unless it is delayed.
Same with the PS3 and PS4 versions, maybe they aren't going up until the store updates next week?

Many Gaffers have GCU at Best Buy, which offers another 20% off. So it was $33.60 for me before tax at Best Buy. But for those that have a Target RedCard, there's 5% off, making it $38 before tax there. Regardless, reasonable prices for launch week.

It is here (Brasil) and it wasn't a few hours ago. Keep checking The store should be out soon (Xbox One, I guess PS4 only when the store updates on tuesday).

The reviews are mostly accurate. Been playing it for a couple of days here (UK) with my 8yo son:
Twilight of the Republic campaign is much more fun and cinematic than the Marvel playsets for 2.0. Although the get a mission, work through a a mission, turn in a mission is still in play, they're much more scripted and directed than 1.0/2.0. Plus we're both Clone Wars/Rebels fans so seeing
was a treat. Found the coin for Zeb early on so can now play one of the two Rebels characters we picked up.
Performance is much improved on the XB1 relative to 2.0. Still the occasional frame rate drop and pop-in but nowhere near as bad as 2.0 on XB1 and 1.0 on WiiU was.
Combat is also vastly improved. Whilst younger players can still make progress by just mashing the attack button, the DMC/heavenly Sword style of combat can be quite rewarding to play. Juggling enemies in mid air, watching their health deplete with a slo-mo finish hasn't got old yet!
The directed tutorials for the Toy Box help introduce the tools and make the 'Infinity' aspect more accessible, especially for younger players. Picked up a set of Twilight of the Republic power discs and love the
Got Toybox Takeover free with the pre-order. Not tried that yet. Will use it for once we've maxed out the Twilight playset to tide us over until Rise Against The Empire and Lego Dimensions.
On the basis of the quality so far, both in standalone terms and as an evolution of 1.0/2.0, I can see us picking up the future playsets and probably Inside Out once we've seen the film.

Has anyone tried the Wii U version yet? I'm wondering if the frame rate is any better than it was in 1.0 and 2.0

Okay, Star Wars' Hall of Heroes is the most perfect thing Infinity has ever done.

They were just putting out stuff at Walmart. Managed to grab Kannan. As soon as I hear my Zeb is ready, I'll go nab that.
Where's the OT, btw? Anyone know?
