Across the pond, Toys R Us and the official Disney Store are listing upcoming products for Disney Infinity. The game, which launched almost a fortnight ago here in the UK, released with a starter kit along with a dozen or so add-ons. These include additional figures (both individual and in packs of three), playsets, power discs, and even an assortment of storage/display solutions.
However, it was clear from the onset that Disney would continue to rapidly expand its newest gaming experiment. Pre-release trailers showed a number of characters who weren’t present in the game’s launch line-up, including Wreck-It Ralph, Rapunzel, and the Toy Story cast to new but a few.
According to the recent listings, fans can expect a Toy Story playset to launch next month. Like previous playsets, it will include two characters as well as a power disc that unlocks hours of playable content.
Meanwhile, in November we’ll see the launch of a “Frozen” Toy Box pack. Unlike playsets, these packs offer little in terms of actual in-game content, serving up two new characters along with a pair of regular power discs.
Speaking of power discs, the second series of Infinity’s physical in-game boosts will also launch in November.
There are still a few omissions here and there though we expect Disney to also launch a new range of individual characters and bundles in the coming months.

If done right this is going to become a compete cash cow for them!

Paying £20-£30 for a couple of figures and a 10 hour game doesn’t seem too bad. If they keep this up for all Disney films they’ll make a lot of money and most players will be quite happy.
It’s a great way to basically sell DLC to people who wouldn’t normally buy it.

It does have its ups and downs.
However, with the second wave there could be some confusion. The “Frozen” pack won’t offer a playable world for gamers to explore, just two characters and two standard power discs. Basically, you can only use them in the Toy Box which is a shame.
Hopefully Disney commit themselves towards more playsets and not just character add-ons.

I noticed on the packs for the Frozen, Tangled, Nightmare before Christmas etc… characters it says for Toy Box use only.
I’d expected a playset for Frozen to go alongside the film. Personally I won’t be buying characters without playsets. £12 is too much especially as I managed to pick for the Cars playset for £20.
