Disney Infinity: Discussion & Power Disc Trading Post

[Elias1901]

Just bought a pack of power discs last night and managed to snag the "Sugar Rush - Skydome" disc that I was searching for... as well as a rare disc too, Abu the Elephant! I am putting that one up for trade too, as I already own it. That just leaves the Nemo piece! Here's my updated listings:

We have Infinity on order, but haven't received it yet. We moved a couple of months ago and I have yet to figure out which TV will be connected to the Xbox, but I really need to get things like that done.. So busy!

My boys will trade their Nemo for the tangled lantern power disc. Just to make sure, theirs has a picture of Nemo on it and a purple stripe with a paintbrush?

Through a recent trade, I was able to complete my Series 1 disc collection. In the process, my previously posted trade list has been changed. Here's the updated list:

UP FOR TRADE

• C.H.R.O.M.E. Damage Control (x2)
• Pieces of Eight (x1)
• Mickey's Car (x1)
• Cinderella's Coach (x4)
• Khan the Horse (x1)
• Stitch's Lasergun (x1)
• Alice in Wonderland - Texture Set (x3)
• Alice in Wonderland - Skydome (x2)
• Tangled Lantern - Texture Set (x1)
• Tangled Lantern - Skydome (x1)
• Abu the Elephant - RARE (x1)
• Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster - RARE (x1)
• Mike's New Car - RARE (x2)

Not necessarily. There are two hexagonal discs with Nemo on it in the Series 1 discs. One is a texture set (changes the ground environment) and one is a skydome (changes the look of the sky). Both have paintbrush icons as they both modify the style of the Toy Box. However, the one you seem to be describing sounds like the texture set disc. I was previously searching for the skydome disc, which has Nemo on it with a view of the ocean depths behind him.

My DS age 9 is asking for this for Christmas, but I'm NOT a gamer and I have no idea what he'll need to have a good experience. We have an Xbox 360 and I'm assuming we'll need the starter pack, but then what? More characters or power discs? Any suggestions?

This really all depends on what your son enjoys in a game.

Yes, you'll need the Xbox 360 Starter Pack, for sure. From there, it really depends on how much you're willing to buy. If you think your son will enjoy more of the story and adventure modes, you should buy him some additional Play Set packs. These include things like Cars, Toy Story, The Lone Ranger, etc. and those Play Set packs come with 2 figures to play with. Keep in mind that the Starter Pack already comes with 3 characters: Mr. Incredible, Sulley, and Captain Jack Sparrow... as well as 3 respective adventure modes based on: The Incredibles, Monsters University, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Perhaps you could throw in a few power discs as a stocking stuffer. Power discs are by no means essential and are mostly a huge money-grab. I'd hit up eBay and buy discs there as opposed to buying endless amounts of packs in the stores. As for buying figures, that again depends on things like who his favorite characters are. Like for me, the Jack Skellington figure was a must have! But for him it could be different. Each character comes with their own unique challenge mini-game and their own set of abilities. However, not all of them can be played in the Play Sets -- they'll only in the Toy Box mode. Below, I've included a list of the currently released characters:

• Captain Jack Sparrow
• Captain Barbossa
• Davy Jones
• Mr. Incredible
• Mrs. Incredible
• Syndrome
• Violet
• Dash
• Sulley
• Mike
• Randy Boggs
• Lightning McQueen
• Holley
• Francesco
• Mater
• The Lone Ranger
• Tonto
• Buzz Lightyear
• Jessie
• Woody
• Jack Skellington
• Rapunzel
• Wreck-It Ralph
• Vanellope
• Anna
• Elsa
• Crystal Sulley - TRU Exclusive
• Crystal Mr. Incredible - TRU Exclusive
• Crystal Lightning McQueen - TRU Exclusive
• Crystal Buzz Lightyear - TRU Exclusive

And remember! Toys R Us (TRU) often has exclusive things (such as power disc packs, accessories, figures, etc.) you can only buy at their stores. I hope I've helped you out a bit. Good luck!

Thanks for the direction, Connoisseur! Sorry for the newbie questions, but what is the difference between the Play Sets and Toy Box mode? I just assumed that all the characters worked the same way.

Thanks again for your advice!

(BTW, these things are selling like hotcakes! I just got the last one at our local Target after searching desperately online and at various stores.)

I know this post is old but I was wondering if you had any of these left. I don't have very many and probably nothing you are needing but my son is really wanting the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster. Are any you have for sell?

Thanks

Sorry mom2mickeyfan, I was able to sell my entire collection I had previously posted here. However, I do have 3 new discs for sale, if you are at all interested. They are as listed below:

• Emperor Zurg's Wrath - RARE!!
• Frozen Flourish (Texture Set from the new Disney animated film, "Frozen")
• Chill in the Air (Skydome from the new Disney animated film, "Frozen")

If your son is a big Buzz Lightyear fan, I'd suggest perhaps getting him the Emperor Zurg's Wrath power disc too. That is, if you don't already have it. It is a rare lenticular and was a Toys "R" Us exclusive disc.

[mom2mickeyfan]

How much are you wanting for them?

[Elias1901]

How much are you wanting for them?

A pack of 2 usually sells for $5.00, so perhaps half price ($2.50) for the regular discs and perhaps $4.00 for the rare disc? Depending on which you were interested in.

So, that'd be as follows:

Emperor Zurg's Wrath - RARE!! ~ $4.00
Frozen Flourish (Texture Set) ~ $2.50
Chill in the Air (Skydome) ~ $2.50

Let me know if that sounds okay. I think it is fair for what the discs are. Plus, it should be known that the "Frozen" themed power discs come in a bundle pack with the Anna and Elsa figures... so, if you're boy doesn't want to have princesses in his collection for whatever reason, he would be missing out of the snowy "Frozen" overlays for the Toy Box. Personally, next to the Grid themed skydome and terrain from "TRON: Legacy", the "Frozen" winter wonderland theming is my favorite. It is incredible in Toy Box!

[mom2mickeyfan]

Thanks so much! We have 2 of those 3. Just one of the Frozen that we are missing. Any believe it or not, my DS does want the girl figures because he wants the ALL!
