I chalk this up as rumor alert....when I was in my local GameStop today pre-ordering Jack the person helping me mentioned that for a bit today a second Jack showed up in their system. One that was going to be released around Halloween time. The person said something like maybe the Pumpkin King. I don't really trust a lot of things that these folks say at the stores. My niece works for GameStop and she doesn't even have a clue half the time what is going on with rumors, etc... Another rumor this person mentioned is a possible Disney park only release around Xmas. I actually think that this rumor could potential be true. I could see Disney selling an exclusive figure in the parks. I guess we will see. At least Jack is pre-ordered for me!

Just preordered jack and woody and toy story playset from gamestop. Hope they are actually getting the toy stuff on the first like they are saying. 43 for playset there is costly

@gregr209: I would imagine the Halloween release is the regular street date, not a variant. As a former GameStop employee, they don't really get any insider info more than the average joe doing a Google search.

Unfortunately most employees anywhere carrying Infinity stuff don't really know anything other than what the internet already knows (unless they're holding their own event, and sometimes corporate knows, then the public, THEN the stores, like with the disc trading event at TRU).

And while it looked like ~milo thacher~ tried saying this, I could be wrong, but I'd still like to mention:
Since ALL infinity characters are both forward and backward compatible (even if only in toy box - its the crystal at that point that is not compatible, not the character) this does leave the opportunity for, say Disney Infinity 2, to bring out a playset for characters from round one that didn't get one. Its not very probable, but if Jack Skellington sells as good/better than the playset pieces, and if they take notice that people are asking for it, they may just give us what we want, and release that, and new characters to go along with it!
