Thomas East: ''The Disney Infinity price is a complex issue. For starters, the prices really vary. You can pay as little as £49.99 to get the most basic Disney Infinity experience but you could also spend as much as £209.91 for everything. To put that into perspective, a Wii U Basic pack costs just £20 more.
That figure takes into account all the figures and Playsets that have been revealed so far. With more Playsets to come plus the Power Discs which add extra abilities for your characters and toys for the Toy Box, it's clear to see that this will be an expensive business.''
The toys-to-life genre has died out, but the concept of Disney Infinity should live on in another genre since it provides a wild crossover for fans.
There is a huge gap in the market at the moment. There aren’t many (if any) toys-to-life games available for the two consoles yet. A reboot or remake of the game would work so well, especially with Disney’s current roster of characters, films and TV shows.
Did Disney sell the rights to Activision? I never knew they had the rights to Disney Infinity.
They DO have the rights to Skylanders though.
Plus there's a financial reason every publisher gave up on the "toys to life" thing. So I doubt they'll revive any of them.
Is it possible Disney Infinity or other toys to games could return, but I'll be honest I really hope they don't come back.
These kinds of games are just another way for the game studios to nickle and dime you for every cent you have.
Disney Infinity was a fun game I could play with my kid back in the day. I still have it and the 100+ toys and yes, it works on PS5. But my kid is a teenager now and we've both moved on to more serious games.
Take a look at the rise and fall of Toys-To-Life games and see the magic it brought into everyone's home with games like Skylanders.
Depends on how much you value those toys I guess. When I was a kid, the good stuff was always above $15, sometimes over $30 (I was big into Transformers and LEGO once upon a time).
I can understand why gamers would see this as overpriced, but I think kids will see more of a novelty of a toy that they can take into a video game as well as across platforms. There are some good ideas with the concept, though I concede that lower prices would certainly have been appreciated.
It'll be the same price as skylander giants at $74.99. The figures will be more expensive at about $11.99 (there will be 18 figures). 6 play sets at $34.99 each, collectible disc power up or add on (stackable) at $4.99 each (random grab bags). Considering Giants cost $14.99 each and light core figures for Giants is $11.99, it'll be slightly more than skylanders. There Disney figures so who know's they might be worth a lot some day if they have limited/legendary versions.
