Quick question.. Does this game have the hot swapping that Skylanders has?

[Zek]

What is "hot swapping?"

[Maruten]

Yes, you can switch characters at any time, with the only constraint being that outside of the Toybox, characters can only enter the Playset they belong to -- no pirates at MU.

So much fun. Went and marathoned the Incredibles storyline through. kinda wishin I had the rest of the family now. Sad that it seems the initial series is limited to a few characters from certain franchises. Phineas and Perry are in, but no Ferb or Doof? Lame. Plus I see theres going to be an uber unlock for getting all the characters in one franchise. Least theres one big safe in the Incredibles set that needs all of the characters.

[Zek]

Yeah, every set has a big safe that needs every character and you get a bunch of toy box toys for unlocking them.

More like Kingdom Hearts. Each playset has a story loosely tied to it's film franchise. The Cars set centers around Radiator Springs holding an international invitational race, Monsters University is about Mike and Sulley participating in "Fear-It Week" in competition with a rival school, and Lone Ranger focuses on stopping a criminal who has taken over the railway...those are the only ones I've played so far.

[Maruten]

Yeah, there's no overarching plot -- then playsets are essentially franchise-locked standalone games, and the Toybox sits in the middle like some sort of chaotic afterlife, or, y'know, Wreck-It Ralph's Central Station.

I've only been to the Pirates of the Caribbean world so far, and it's awesome! There is absolutely a plot going on, but as mentioned, it's a smaller game within the big toy box really. It seems the point of the different worlds is to let you adventure into each of those franchises, while unlocking some great things in the toy box to use both within that world, as well as in the toy box. Still very addicting. I'm almost done collecting the power discs (need 1 or 2 more, depending on how a current eBay auction finishes).

Wow, someone in that tabloid is going to lose their job for this:

Great, now I own this game along with all the Incredibles and am currently well on my way to building the Overworld from the original Legend of Zelda once I get all the necessary pieces(And if the game's building restrictions allows it, I may attempt to build all of their corresponding dungeons underground with teleport locations to their entrances in the Overworld. Or maybe just build the dungeons as separate toyboxes.).

I really have no one to blame but myself for not being able to stay away from this thread and gameplay videos. I'm too much of a Disney addict.

Neat little exploit people might want to take advantage of before it get patched: the free spin capsule at the top of the largest mountain to the east over by the racetrack in the pre-made "Launch" toybox infinitely respawns every time you quit the map without saving(Not every time you leave the map to do a challenge mind you, every time you formally quit).

I have it now, got five figures (the three starters as well as Mike and Mrs. Incredible) and I am enjoying this.

I am building my own world, and found out there's ESPN stuff there as I put two baseballs with the sports channel's logo stitched into it in there.

TRU is having a big sale on this the 7th of September.

Awfully tempted to pick some up at those prices.

[Tm_Silverclaw]

Ehh.. still to much for me to not like about this for me to take the dive until I find a -very- cheap deal on starter.

[Confuzor]

40% off is mighty tempting for the individual figures. Mighty tempting....

[Rhinox]

Toys R Us is also holding back their exclusive discs for the event. Supposedly one of the TRU exclusive discs is Tron based.

Looking at the pics of upcoming figures on Gamestop.com and I'm a tad disappointed. Looks like few characters are going to be Toy Box only. I figured it would be odd for campaigns for solo characters like Jack Skellington or Sorcerer Mickey and I guess I was right. The Frozen girls come in a two pack and only give you 2 custom skin discs instead of a playset. Toy Strory Playset will include Buzz and Jessie and the Toy Story Playset. Other than that looks like I said earlier about the Pumpkin King is confirmed.

I'm just hoping Wreck-it Ralph and Phineas and Ferb get a Playset campaign.

[ZeroX]

They don't.

You can tell because their character chests appear in toy box mode, otherwise they would only be in their corresponding playset like the other playset characters.

I agree. On the other hand. I saw an ad at my Wal-Mart promoting the Woody figure coming out early there.
