Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars Collection

Disney Infinity 3.0 is the third installment of the "toys to life" gaming platform from Disney Interactive Studios. Players can unlock characters and play with them inside a video game world. To play as the character, you would need to place the corresponding figure on the Disney Infinity base.


The figures are a big draw for this game more than the game itself. That is not to say the game is not fun to play, which it certainly is! You have a lot of freedom to create your own world and explore different worlds with your characters. But it attracts the collector market as well. I've been tempted several times in the past to grab the figures whenever I chance upon them in the toy aisle. This was before Infinity 3.0 though, and they were more focused on Disney and Marvel superhero characters. I was able to keep in control of my emotions and resist the "Dark side" forcing me to add more toys in my collection.I had Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series and other toylines to satisfy my craving for my toy collecting hobby. So I put off getting Disney Infinity for a couple of years.

That was before they included Star Wars characters in the Disney Infinity line. Seeing the stylized cartoon versions of my favorite characters in the Star Wars universe was just too hard to resist. Adding to the fact that my wife, supportive as she is in giving me happiness, jumpstarted my dive into this fun game by giving me the Star Wars bundle as one of her gifts last Christmas.

So I blame this addiction on my loving wife! I just had to grab all of the figures in this line to complete the collection. And ALL of the figures look great! No regrets in adding them to my toy shelf. Plus the game is super fun to play, so it is a win-win! If you are a Star Wars fan, or if you just enjoy sandbox style videogames, give this game a try. I bet you'll have a good time. This version of Disney Infinity might also be the last, since there are no reports that they will be putting out a Disney Infinity 4.0. Which is a bit sad, since the game has grown on me and I was looking forward to more playsets and worlds to explore. Nevertheless, the game comes with an open world creator engine. So, for anyone who is willing to put in the time, and with a little bit of creative skill. The possibilities are truly endless. To INFINITY and beyond!
