Disney Infinity, releasing August 18, is one part physical toys, one part video game, and all parts a complete nightmare for any parent's wallet.
Similar to Activision's Skylanders franchise, Disney Infinity is itself only the tip of a giant, toy iceberg. Each time you buy a $14 Disney Infinity figurine, you add that character (and a bunch of related props) to the main experience.
Infinity also features a "Toy Box" mode, which basically is every kid's dreams come true. Remember setting up all your toys in your room and acting out scenarios? The Toy Box mode in Infinity lets you take all the characters and objects you've purchased and throw them all together, build new levels for your toys to play in, or make them fight. It's essentially a giant sandbox.
If I know kids, it will probably sell trillions of copies.
