In an official blog post today on Disney Interactive’s site, John Vignocchi excitedly announced the new Marvel Battlegrounds Playset.

Pre-Order Bonus

According to JV, at participating retailers (Disney Store already has this deal listed) you can get one free Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Superhero of your choice when pre-ordering Battlegrounds.

JV: As a bonus, if you pre-order the Play Set today through March 14, you’ll receive a free Disney Infinity (2.0 Edition): Marvel Super Heroes figure of your choice at participating retailers in the US, while supplies last. Be on the lookout for more special deals coming soon!

This should help ease the pain of the newly upped price point (at least for those who plan to Pre-Order) but the truth is, most 2.0 Figures can be obtained easily for around $5 (check out our Deals Post). There is also the hoards of loyal fans who already have a complete collection of 2.0 Marvel Figures (or might not be able to find that one missing figure in the limited stock offered by retailers)… so this Pre-Order bundle might not be ideal.

Opening the bundled characters up to 3.0 Figures would certainly calm down the already grumpy fans who are upset about the price point / packaging.

Single Figure Playset Packaging Details

There have already been some negative feed back when it comes to how this Playset is being packaged and priced. The Single Character / Single Playset layout is appealing to some but other are concerned. We got details about why the playset was packaged with just a single figure. According to Vignocchi:

JV: You guys know that the Disney Infinity team is always listening to your feedback, and we make changes along the way based on what we hear from the community. Your feedback has led to one significant change in our Play Set configuration. We heard from you that you want more choice in how you expand your Disney Infinity collections, especially with the Play Sets. With this in mind, the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set Pack will come with the Play Set piece and one figure (Captain America – The First Avenger). Now it’s up to you to decide which other Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains you want to fight with in Marvel Battlegrounds from a selection of 25 characters and with more to join the roster soon!

Hi there, Disney Infinity fans!

We’re just two months away from the launch of the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set, and I’m happy to announce that, beginning today, you can pre-order the Play Set. It hits stores on March 15, and for those of you who don’t know much about Marvel Battlegrounds, I can tell you that it’s one of the most fun play sets we’ve ever made, and unlike anything we’ve ever offered.

Marvel Battlegrounds is a four-player, arcade-style brawler that allows you to battle with up to three friends locally. You get to play in 12 levels across eight all-new arenas, including Knowhere and Wakanda. You’ll also be able to battle as any playable Disney Infinity (2.0 Edition): Marvel Super Heroes figure, making Marvel Battlegrounds the Play Set with the largest selection of playable characters.

You guys know that the Disney Infinity team is always listening to your feedback, and we make changes along the way based on what we hear from the community. Your feedback has led to one significant change in our Play Set configuration. We heard from you that you want more choice in how you expand your Disney Infinity collections, especially with the Play Sets. With this in mind, the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set Pack will come with the Play Set piece and one figure (Captain America – The First Avenger). Now it’s up to you to decide which other Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains you want to fight with in Marvel Battlegrounds from a selection of 25 characters and with more to join the roster soon!
