Posted on by AllEars
For many Disney Infinity fans, this weekend just might be more exciting than Black Friday. Don't expect to skip the lines, though, unless you pre-ordered the gaming merchandise being released soon. Several eagerly anticipated pieces are being released, including the first official Disney Princess character and several other popular female figures. Today, players can purchase Rapunzel from "Tangled" (a Wal-Mart exclusive) and Ralph from "Wreck-It Ralph" (a Best Buy exclusive). On Sunday, everyone's favorite computer-game glitch, Vanellope von Schweetz, will be released only at Target. And on Tuesday, the day before "Frozen" hits theaters, a toy pack with the movie's characters, Anna and Elsa, and two related power discs will be available in stores.
