Question 1

I am getting the kids a PS4 for Christmas and want to get the Infinity as well.  What is the "toy Box" ?  I see that for "Stitch and Meranda" set.  Is that the same as the "Marvel" set. (besides the characters)  do I need both to play?  any info is greatly appriciated.

Accepted Answer

First of all "ToyBox" is a game mode in Disney Infinity - I'll get to that later. "PlaySets" and "ToyBox Starter Packs" both include the two important parts of the system: 1. The Game Disc - goes into the PS4; you can't use any of the Disney Infinity 2.0 items without it in the console.2. The Infinity Base - plugs into the USB port on the front of the PS4, and has three spots on top of the base - 2 circle-shaped spots (where you put the figurines) and one semi-hex shaped spot (where you put the PlaySet Adventure or the ToyBox "discs"). The figurines you place on the Infinity Base specify the characters you'll be using in the game itself, while the PlaySet Adventure or the ToyBox discs you put in the semi-hex spot specifies the game mode.There are two types of game modes in Disney Infinity 2.0:A. "PlaySet Adventure" Mode - this is the campaign mode where you can have two people play through a complete adventure that is directly tied to the characters you're using. For example, the Avengers adventure sees them fighting against Loki, the Guardians adventure sees them taking on events directly related to the movie. Imagine this mode as taking all your related toys (i.e. all your Avengers action figures) and reliving the movie or expanding on it.B. The "ToyBox" mode - this is more open-world, where you can mix and match Disney Infinity characters that don't normally go together (i.e. Iron Man and Elsa) and play various mini games or challenges - but there's no actual Adventure game directly related to the characters. Imagine this mode as getting together with your friends bringing whatever toys you have (even if they're not related to each other) and using your imagination to create your own adventure.Now then - The Merida/Stich starter pack is not a full PlaySet - it's a "ToyBox Starter Pack" set - meaning that unlike the Marvel PlaySets, there's no dedicated "Adventure" game included that is specific to Merida and the "Brave" movie, nor is there a specific adventure game related to the "Lilo and Stich" movie. You only get the "ToyBox" mode mentioned above. However the Merida/Stich pack does include the PS4 game disc as well as the Infinity Base - so you can buy this along with a PS4 and get going right away.Side note: Make sure you begin with a Infinity 2.0 PlaySet. The older 1.0 characters and 1.0 ToyBox discs are all compatible with a 2.0 PlaySet, but only 2.0 stuff works with 2.0 stuff.

Question 2

Will Amazon offer the PS4 "Collector's Edition" for pre-order w/ Hulk Exclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do now... but what a rip off (in my opinion)! It's an extra $105, and all you get is a display stand plus 3 extra figures (with the Hulk being an early exclusive before it sells individually in October). When you can get the Standard edition with an extra figure for FREE (pre-order bonus), then you could use that on another Avenger.  So you're then only two figures short of the Collector's edition.  Each figure is $14 each, so $105 - $14 - $14 = $77... so you better think that display stand is worth $77 if you order it!  In other words, I could buy the Standard edition ($75), use my pre-order bonus to get Captain America for FREE, and buy Hawkeye ($14) and Hulk ($14 in October) for only $75 + $14 + $14 = $103... and the only difference between that and the $180 Collector's edition is the display stand.  Technically, you can get the same pre-order bonus (a free character) with the Collector's edition and could use it on a non-Avenger (I recommend Rocket Raccoon since he's the only individual figure that also works with the included Avengers play set)... but then you're still valuing the display stand at $77 - $14 = $63!  Wouldn't you rather buy another game for $60?

Question 3

what is the difference between the ps4 and ps3 base? would they work cross platform since I assume they are both usb?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely nothing. The kids are using the base they got with the Wii U 1.0 version on the PS4 2.0 version and it works perfectly fine.

Question 4

I see this offered with characters from other Disney realms. Can the figures be used on this game or do you need to buy a different disk?

Accepted Answer

The disc that comes with the Marvel 2.0 Starter Pack can be used with any of the Disney or Marvel figures that Disney Infinity has produced thus far (whether the 1.0 or 2.0 version) in regards to the Toy Box.  The individual playset pieces can only be played with by the specific figures related to that story.  Also, currently, the two game discs that come in this starter pack can only be played by Marvel figures.
