I got my Davy Jones figure today for Disney Infinity, but I couldn't resist picking up some Skylanders I didn't have on the 5-for-2 sale at Gamestop. Here's a picture:

I got bored today waiting for a doctor's appointment today, so I went to Gamestop and looked at figures. I know, I shouldn't do it, but I did. Luckily I didn't find what I wanted, but I did see this D.I. power disc album in the clearance bin for $5, so I got that. Here's a pic:

I started Sunday with a trip to Gamestop on my way to Mark's place and got some more Skylanders. They didn't have any from my core list like the internet said they would, so I got some Trap Team characters I didn't have and a Superchargers figure and vehicle. Used Supercharger figures are starting to fill the shelves, so I'll start picking those up when I can't find the older stuff. Here's the picture of what I got:

I went to preorder Ratchet & Clank today at Gamestop after gym time and couldn't resist looking at what toys-to-life figures they had. Turns out, I've now mined this store of all the Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures I wanted except one - Randall from Monsters University. See pic:

Today was a long gaming day for me. I finished all but one achievement in Disney Infinity 2.0. Mark and I played the Exploration Survival Mode on the Brave power disc and got to the end of the 50 levels. It took about two and a half hours. Luckily no disconnections occured. Then I had to play the story missions on that same disc to get all 50 sidekick items. Mark and I played about four levels co-op before I got the achievement and we both exited to do other things: Mark had to get his 90 Feats achievement, and I started the Pirates of the Caribbean Playset in Disney Infinity 1.0. But more of that after a picture of today's purchases. 

More co-op in Disney Infinity 2.0 today. Mark and I played Survival mode on both Assault on Asgard and Escape from the Kyln power discs. Tower defence in Assault on Asgard can be a bit of a pain after a while so we went over to Escape from the Kyln and played its Diablo style gameplay through all the story missions (I used my Spider-Man figure for this), and then tried to tackle Exploration Survival Mode (I used my Green Goblin figure for this). This mode is 50 levels long, which takes a good long time, like several hours. Problem was, we kept getting disconnected somehow and had to start all over from the beginning. The first time we got to level 36 after an hour and twenty minutes (the mode has a timer). Then we got to level 46 after two hours and got disconnected again.There wasn't enough time to try a third time, so I checked out the Stitch and Brave power disc levels. 

Mark and I finally got to play some co-op in this game today using the Power Discs. We played through the rest of the tower defense style levels in the Assault on Asgard disc, and got through about half of the action rpg levels in Escape from the Kyln. We both tried to use the "event" power discs that give you an extra special attack, but the game doesn't let you use them in these story levels, just the survival mode that's on both discs. That's ok though because the survival mode is pretty cool on both discs. You play a large number of increasingly more difficult levels for each. We got to about wave 17 on the Assault on Asgard survival mode, and tomorrow, we'll tackle the 50 wave Escape from the Kyln survival mode. That one will likely take several hours to beat.

I found some used Disney Infinity Power Discs today at one of my retro stores. I bought the ones that give your characters abilities (they have the star at the bottom). There are also customization ones and toy ones. I like the abilites best. They are circular discs and go under your figure on the portal. Then I picked up 5 figures on the still running Gamestop sale: four Skylanders and a Baymax figure for my friend Mark. Here's the picture and further descriptions below: 

Today I found all the power discs I needed for achievements in Disney Infinity 2.0 in two 2-packs at GameStop and BestBuy. They are unique among the power discs because they have new levels on them.

Today I finished the Spider-Man playset in Disney Infinity 2.0. I enjoyed it a lot. It's mostly the same sort of stuff I did in the Avengers Play Set, but I don't mind because the combat system is pretty good.
