You can find more information in another thread on the game. I'm going to merge your post over there so you can find it easier.

I wanted to add something I noticed today

One that has not been mention... when playing the game on Wii, In the Lone Ranger playset the area where the buildings should be are VERY dark and you can not make out the different places.. Almost like there is just a big black wall, instead of a building.. It makes it very hard to see the targets needed to hit to make water fall.. Etc ect.

Just another drawback it getting on wii..
VERY happy we returned it for the Xbox!

So I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Disney Infinity and when they started selling it on August 18th we rushed to Toys R Us to pick it up. Unfortunately, we discovered within a few days that the amazing game We have been watching on the advertisements barely resembles the actual experience on the Wii platform. I get that Wii is an older gaming system an I expected the graphics and the speed of the game to not be as good as the other systems but I was not expecting the game to be totally different. Some of the issues are that there is no multiplayer in the different play sets only in the toy box. I also found that the toy box reaches maximum capacity after a very short time and I will start getting an error message saying we cannot add anything else because the toy box is too full.

I am extremely disappointed in this version of the game and I'm just wondering if others have had a similar experience with the Wii system.

Yeah that is just the limitations of the Wii itself. I'm sure Disney probably didn't really want to put it on the Wii but also didn't want the backlash from many parents who won't but a new system but really want the game for their kids. The designers had to make several cuts and even admit it online. The cuts don't seem so massive from a developer stand point but once it got in the hands of thousands multi children families the real issues became apparent.

For Toybox try deleting everything and starting from scratch.

If you have another system just take it back for a refund. There have been so many complaints most big box retailers are going against their own refund and exchange policy to let people change this out or get a refund because of false advertising.

Lol I dropped my phone and it posted that...Xzavier has said he is going to start saving allowances, which he is never successful at so if he gets halfway I will most likely put in the other half...

Best of luck to Xzavier. Maybe this will be that thing that he ends up having success saving for. I remember how hard it was to save but it is a super important lesson.

Yeah I know I say now I won't buy anymore but it Disney I am sure I will be buying more. I just hope and pray they will come out with new wave before oct when I go to Disney because it be harder down their to keep from buying them.

I'm here right now and haven't seen any power packs on property yet.

and I am 65! So I am not what you call your state of the art video gamer. But I have decided to get this for my grandsons and yes for me too, assuming I can figure it out.

So what do I want to get? Are there choices at this point?

Get the base set which runs about $75. It includes everything you need to play including 3 figures. That's all you really need. If 2 or more people want to play the missions together, you'll need a 2nd figure for each of the themes (Pirates, Monsters, Incredibles). The sidekicks or villains 3pk sets will give you a 2nd figure for each theme for about $6-$9 cheaper then buying all 3 figures individually.

Not sure if it matters but anyone else not get a gold star for completing the mission "clothes make the monster" in MU? Completed just about everything in that set and didn't get the star.

We got it for the Wii.(Our only game system) My kids are not huge gamers, so I'm hoping they don't notice that it's lacking. They do love Skylanders though and I specifically asked at Gamestop before I preordered if it was two player. I was told yes. Oh well, we'll probably just cont. collecting Skylanders figures and just play with the few Disney char. that we have for now. It's a pain when only one out of the three kids can play at a time.

Finished & collected literally everything in the Lone Ranger last night except a single challenge on hard. Wish there was a use for all of that in game currency after you're finished, like buying spins for the vault or something. 10,000 plus just sitting around lol.

How is everything selling where you live? We have sold out in my area on all Lone Ranger (which shocked me) and Cars set.

Who thinks this would be a great way for Disney to get more people in Disney quest. What happens if they offered make your own figure it could only be used in toy box but you can create it. If they had that's in Disney quest that would really make it something to do.

Or find a way to use the power disk for the mk game so if give you a train to bring them buy more and trade.

 

[WDW Crawl]

Want to send a shout out to Disney David for hooking me up with an extra disc in the mail. Very cool and appreciated!!

 

[vwlfan]

Amazon delivered it in one day.

Sitting on the dining room table waiting for me to load it to my Xbox.

Thanks for the advice

Loving DI!!!! Whats the difference between the power packs and the gold power packs im seeing ebay?? Is there a guarantee of getting rare discs or something? ?
Also - im thinking it would be insanely cool if they came out with charactersthat could only be purchased in disney. Like maybe peter pan...... or Figment!!
Just sayin.

 

[disney david]

I like that Walmart came out with a special pack for the new monsters movie and to get a free infinity figure. I saw one with Randall not sure if they offer the other two. But feel they should offer a exclusive one that would sell the movie more.


Just think if they make a special Pixar movie pack where you get all the movies that have a infinity figure and a couple figures. A ultimate fan collection which would be I am sure very expensive.

 

[HubbDave]

I would pay $$$ for a Figment character

The gold (or orange-ish) power discs are the rare ones. The gold power PACKS were the ones sold only at Toys R Us and contain the "rare" Mike's Car plus one other not necessarily rare disc.
