Good morning,
Long time Skylander player converting over to Disney Infinity. Left Skylander because my little girl, 8, felt that it was getting redundant. Then when Disney announced Marvel she became VERY intrigued.
I believe a lot of her excitement is playing with 'real' characters she knows, and it doesn't hurt having a strong female archetype or two (like Black Widow), versus invented characters like Skylanders.
We never played 1.0, have an xBox one, so I've been hunting up sales on figures in preparation for the 2.0 release. We're now up to 17 figures, all of which were purchased for at least 1/2 off, and I've gotten 27 power disc packs (10 x Series 1, 2 x Series 2, and 15 series 3) for $2 each.
Those power disc packs really really suck for duplicates (5+ 'Pieces of 8', or the best was a duplicate out of the 2 series 2 packs I opened). So you'll probably find me shortly over at the trade forum in the next week or two looking to complete my collection.
Glad to be aboard the Disney infinity train, it looks like its fun.
