Disney Infinity 3.0 Release Date

Today Disney announced an August 30 release date for the Star Wars-themed Infinity 3.0 starter pack!

The starter pack will be $64.99, which includes the “Twilight of the Republic Play Set” with Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano figures. That is actually a pretty solid price for one of these interactive toy games. Usually they debut at around $75. I'm assuming this may be some sort of deal for Infinity players that may already have a portal from previous games.

PlayStation 4 owners can also opt for the Star Wars Saga bundle, which includes the chance to play the “Rise Against the Empire” playset earlier than most with Anakin, Ahsoka, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Boba Fett for $114 or so. This playset follows the storyarc of the original trilogy (something I'm way more interested in playing.

They've also announced several other things related to the game, other than the starter kit! Standalone figures available on launch day include the cast from Star Wars: Rebels, young Jedi Ezra Bridger, hipster Jedi Kanan Jarrus, Lasat warrior Garazeb Orrelios and Mandalorian grafitti artist Sabine Wren.

Disney originals will be represented by Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Olaf, and the physical release of Sam Flynn and Quorra from Tr0n Probably Should Have Stayed Dead.

Also, Disney-Pixar’s Inside-Out will have some emotions entering into the fray! We will get a special playset pack featuring Joy and Anger, with Sadness, Disgust and Fear sold separately.

That is a ton of availability at launch! If you want to get the entire release, using the current pricing models, that would total about $300. Time to bring out the sales papers, coupons and maps and plan out your attack on the local Toys' R Us.
