@E.O. Arrendelle I agree with @Semerien, @Mightygitis, @Romulus77 and especially @tabear. I thought the toyboxes picked for the Top 5 were great choices indeed and there's no reason to go around being discouraged and criticize the players that won and say that you should have placed. Each one that placed did someone that was out of the ordinary, unique and made theirs stand out and entertaining. While you may be upset with not placing, especially since you are new to Toy Box Competitions, that doesn't give you the right to point out all of the negatives inside their toybox and say that yours was better than theirs. Besides, the judges would definitely would not be pleased with that kind of feedback, especially since this is suppose to be a welcoming and friendly community. Like Mightygitis said, it's called bad sportsmanship. I should know. I used to do that sometimes. I would usually publicly show how upset I was on social media sites and think about not competing anymore. But now, I learned from my mistakes, and I share tips, tricks and advice on my Youtube channel hopefully they take my advice and become a better Toy Box Artist, not only in building them, but also having a positive attitude about them. Don't repeat the same mistakes I've made in the past. The best we can do is "let go of the past and keep moving forward."
Like for example, when it was announced that Team HansShotFirst was announced the winners of Toy Box Summit by Community's Pick and would become townspeople in the next game, I got pretty disappointed. I thought my team pulled off a unique and fun toybox for Tatooine, but it wasn't meant to be. At first, I just said congrats, but then I went on saying stuff like "Guess ours wasn't that good enough for the community" and "The better team won". And when the Toy Box Master Artists wanted to celebrate over on PS4, I refused to come because I thought that only winners deserve parties. I had a lot to learn, especially since I am a Toy Box Master Artist. In fact, I am still learning myself on how I can improve on myself. We Toy Box Master Artists are suppose to represent the game for what it is; a fun experience where players have the opportunity to tell their own stories and share it with the world and not afraid of any criticism. If you just play Disney Infinity just for the the toy box competitions, you are obviously not having that much fun and you are doing it wrong. Like Tabear said, you should do the toy box challenges just to build fun toyboxes and to challenge ourselves to create stories for those challenges. Being featured into the Top 5 is like a bonus. Also, in the end, if you didn't get featured, you should be happy if fellow Toy Box Artists you enjoy their work from gets featured. I didn't compete in this one, but I am glad that some of my friends made it onto the list, because they have fun doing it and put a lot of work into it and it shows. And another thing, you still have a fun toybox that you built for the challenge. If you enjoyed building it and sharing it with people, that's all that matters.
Overall, I agree with the other Toy Box Artists as well that I think you may need to take a break for a while. In the meantime, I think you should try to improve not only on your sportsmanship, but also how to build toyboxes just for fun. Besides, there will always be players out there that will like your work, just like with the rest of us. You can't expect to get featured just as soon as you joined the game. It takes time. Learn your creativitoys and get some advice from others. We are here to help players like you and that's what makes Disney Infinity so special. It's the home to a very special community that treats everyone that they belong and part of one big ohana. Just like in the film Lilo and Stitch, Ohana means no one gets left behind or forgotten. Allison, JV and the rest of the team cares for everyone, because we all play an important role here, no matter how big or small. Even for Toy Box Summit, they don't have the toy box summit just for the top Toy Box Master Artists, but they livestream it to everyone else as well. They want everyone to be included, because we are all important and not just some people. We helped shape Disney Infinity to where it's at today. It's the #1 toys to life video game and that's an achievement worth noting. So, in conclusion, be a good sport, play for fun, and never forget that you will always play an important part inside this community just like everyone else. As Ralph said in the end of Wreck it Ralph, "Turns out I don't need a medal to show if I'm a good guy. Cause if that little kid likes me, how bad can I be?"
