In preparation for the North American release of Disney Infinity 3.0 on 30th August, Disney Interactive has released a trailer showcasing the new features and toys in the Toy Box 3.0.
One of the highlights includes the addition of farming, where players can feed, clothe, and nurture townspeople sidekicks and then put them to work on planting and harvesting crops to eat. Players can assign different jobs to townspeople by equipping customised gear and also boost their stats by feeding them.
In addition to all the new features is the confirmation Toy Box 3.0 is compatible with all figures and Power Discs from the first two Disney Infinity games.
Take a look at the new video below and let us know in the comments if you plan to purchase Disney Infinity 3.0 on release.

I haven't bought Disney Infinity yet due to prioritizing other games, but if Sora get or if Kingdom Hearts as a whole will be the main 4.0 edition then yes .
Also it is D23 now so we should get some new information about Kingdom Hearts 3 today, tomorrow or on Sunday ^^.
Still the new features for Disney Infinity 3.0 looks nice .
Daamn. I stopped playing Disney Infinity after the first one but man does this make me want to go back.
I promised I would pick Disney Infinity when they give me some TRON figurines and I am a man of my word. t was just a happy coincidence this was also the year they put "Star Wars" in there so it's win/win... except for my bank account.
Is there any reason why Nintendo aren't doing this with their own franchises? The Amiibo are in place, now we just need the dedicated game.
I have mine ordered on Amazon, alongside Obi-Wan, Yoda, Mickey, Minnie, and Olaf. And I'm patiently awaiting HulkBuster and Ultron.
I said it before, and I'll say it again - I can finally play as Buzz Lightyear, Spider-Man, and Darth Vader all in one game. The ten-year-old in me is crying tears of joy.
Getting some figures but not the game, as with any other DI games.
I won't fall for it this time, 2.0 was enough fail for me.
@andrea987 No doubt that 2.0 was a stop gap. This is the real next version as far as I see it. Kids are enjoying 2.0 but the Avengers and Spidey playsets were very, very bland. It failed to overcome the more stuff less quality problem.
I have hopes 3.0 will overcome it with the 3 extra dev studios involved. Plus, Star Wars looks great to me. Toy AT-ATs alone sold me on it.
Can't blame you, though.
@sinalefa
Game is so cheap though at times. If you have some figures, one day you should buy in for $20 and play around in the ToyBox. Maybe wait until 3.0 is dirt cheap and on clearance in about one year.
I'm going to hold out until they have a avengers playset again. I bought my boy all the marvel figures and he's kind of still small to use the toybox to its fullest.
@aaronsullivan
I want to wait for reviews before deciding. If it is any indication, I got two 1.0 figures, two 2.0 figures but now SIX 3.0 figures (I blame Inside Out) so I have a bunch of figures to try.
@sinalefa
Oh definitely. My advice is to wait for deep discounts, really. As an owner of both versions and almost every 1.0 figurine I never paid full price for any of it and the Toy Box is where the long-term fun is anyway. The kids just play it whenever to mess around and this is the first time they've had any urgent feeling that they want the new version. They can still wait until Xmas.
I was planning to buy it, but they've made me wait too long! Bought a Wii U instead, could not be happier. Maybe I'll pick it up for 20 bucks in six months, like I did with 2.0
I'm still waiting on that character poll to finish up before I buy into any figures from 3.0. The idea of having a Mabel or Darkwing Duck figure on my shelf is hard to pass up. The game itself I'm not fussed about, but the figures stand on their own, from a collector's point of view.
@Kimite Sunday they will also announce three unannounced 3.0 figures. I suspect Dark Wing Duck, Goofy, and maybe Mushu, wishful thinking.
@Nico07
Nice I guess , but I am not that interested in those figures ;^^. Still I can't complain about Goofy as I have grown up with him along side Donald and Mickey .
(I want actual new classic Disney shorts with Donald Donald, Mickey Mickey, Goofy and the rest of Duckburg ;^; ).
@Jimtaro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Crossing:_Amiibo_Festival
@ianolivia
Isn't that a fixed board game rather than an open sandbox?
@aaronsullivan You get this for the kids yet or are you waiting for Christmas? Its $20 on the eShop so Im tempted to try out the new hub world but with all things DI you never know what you get. I'll do my own google reasearch later but thought you may have jumped the gun for $20 what with the new job and all. The eShop says 4 player but Im guessing thats online. Oh well, likeI said Ill do the research, don't put yourself out if you are waiting for the holidays.
@rjejr
All secret for now. The $20 goes until January something I think so no hurry there.
What you get is just the Toy Box, basically. But you need it to play any of the play sets. Those are sold with 2 figures and a little thingy to unlock the play set. That's the trouble you ran into with 1.0. The base set had a small toy that you needed to play the core play sets (that you didn't get). For 3.0 the activating toy you wouldn't get with the physical purchase is the Clone Wars play set (called Twilight of the Republic). Unlike 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 sell the play set that's included with the base set separately now.
An interesting new addition to 3.0 are two separate "toy box expansion sets" that focus on gaming with all of the types of figures together. They are $20 each with one focused on battling and one focused on racing. (These are separate from the Play sets which still work the same way)
@rjejr
Oh and 4 player is online only, yes. 2-player local. It's too bad you can't cross play between PS3 and Wii U to get 4 players. I would have.
@aaronsullivan ""toy box expansion sets""
Yeah, thats what I saw that looked good, the co-op story driven platformer. Not interested in the racing, we'll have that in the Wii version of Skylanders. If your kids like the Incrideibles I highly recommend Rise of the Underminer. Not sure what it's on, we played PC version probably 10 years ago. Fun little co-op, along the lines of Spiderman Friend or Foe. I like fun little co-op platforming fighting adventures.
Did some Google legwork and $20 for the base game which apparently has the "Takeover" as it only needs a power disc to unlock, which goes for $20. And it only lasts 5 hours. So that's $40 for 5 hours. In retrospect I think I should have pre-ordered the starter pack for $65 and gotten the Takeover for free at Best Buy and mailed the extra base to @sinalefa
Oh well, probably for the best, I need to save ALL of my money for this.
@rjejr @aaronsullivan
Thanks for the kind wishes Bob!
Now I saw today on Amazon the 2.0 Toy Box Starter Pack which includes Stitch, Merida and the base for $25 new for wii U. Think I am gonna get that and the $20 3.0 download
@sinalefa Yeah for $25 buy that. You can then DL 1.0 for free if you want just to mess around and see how much 2.0 improved it. I bought Lone Ranger and Toy Story playsets for about $15 each, they were worth that to play co-op w/ my son.
@sinalefa I agree that's a good deal if you want those figures
@rjejr That free takeover expansion with pre-order was enticing. Thing is I wanted to not feel forced into anything I might not want and the clone wars play set wasn't near the top of my list (though it is getting good reviews and playsets so far are considered big improvements over 2.0 playsets.)
Anyway, one way to think about added value from playsets and toy box expansions is how they unlock much more stuff to build with. If you're into that
@sinalefa Was in Gamestop this morning, they had the base used for $2.99. Also buy 2 get 3 free toys to life figures. Yes, pay for 2, get 5. I actually couldn't find 2 I wanted though, we already have so many.
