Right, and since the DI playsets are character specific, there's no possibility of using Nick Fury in a DI playset. Similarly, we presume that as the download is just a Toybox thing, we can't play Marvel Playsets. However, if the Pyramid gamediscs are essentially fancy toyboxes, that may suggest that the Pyramid games will be playable through DI+Toybox2.
I suppose it'll depend on what game/character information will be included in the download. If the gamedisc is where Playset information is, playsets are probably-certainly out. But if the character information doesn't come with Toybox2 download, we won't be able to use 2.0 characters in the 2.0 Toybox through DI... which would rather defeat the purpose of allowing the Toybox2 download. So character information must come with Toybox2, or there's no point. Similarly, if Pyramid games can be unlocked for every character, it would make eminent sense to include those with Toybox2 download...
Maybe?
(As confusing as it all is, this COULD be backwards-compatibility in all but name, which would be a broadly good thing.)
N.B. Has anything been said about whether the Toybox2 download would be a free gesture for DI owners who now want to throw money at Disney to buy more characters..? Or are we expected to pay for the ability to build slightly larger toyboxes and buy more characters (if they'll work, as above)..?
