Disney Infinity (1)

I really dig the Disney Infinity toys. Sure, they may be made of powdered Skylanders, but they’re actually pretty darn cool to just have. Heck, I’ve got a Captain Barbossa figure that is sitting on top of my Xbox right now. But there’s more to Disney Infinity than inaction figures. There are power discs as well. Lots and lots of power discs. While you prep your wallet for them, here’s how they’ll work.

The additional pieces that come with Disney Infinity, allow players to unlock new themes, gadgets and vehicles on the fly. I saw it first hand at E3, and the feature does at least work pretty damn quickly when it comes to mixing up the Infinity playbox.

Remember, those extra pieces are going to arrive in lucky packets at a price of R69 each, with about power discs in each packet. I still think that this is some dangerous territory for Disney, as they’re looking to squeeze an extra buck out of a potentially fantastic franchise, but then again, I also see kids trading these discs amongst one another.

There’ll be the usual common, rare and ultra-rare power discs available. Here’s a full list of them, courtesy of AGB:

        That is quite expensive. And I can only imagine the bullies at school stealing them of the smaller kids #flashbacks

    Love the concept. Why can’t they make am adult version of this? Like Warhammer 40k, or D&D? I’d so be into that.

          I used to play a little of the table top version & some PC games of WH40K.
          This would be awesome.

      It would also be cool if they could do something like this for Card games like Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic the Gathering 😛

            You may require the above mentioned Vaseline should you be keen on collecting them all. 😛
