It's a "free" download on the game's website, so I got to thinking that it probably would work with any of the USB base things, making it essentially like the console versions except that you could start with any play set. Nope. It doesn't use the physical toys at all directly. Instead, you can either buy digital versions of the toys and play sets ($6 for the figures and $25 for the play sets) or enter the codes that come with the physical ones. There's also a specific Steam version that takes the choice away and starts with the same starter pack you get at retail for consoles: Avengers play set, Iron Man, and Black Widow. However, it doesn't have any common Steam features like achievements, trading cards, cloud saves, etc.
The one thing worth noting that I discovered about the game in general is how little cross compatibility there is. For example, very few of the Marvel figures can be used across the three play sets: Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man. I think Iron Man is the only one that can be used in all three. Spider-Man and Rocket can each be used in two. Most characters are exclusive to their universe. Infinity my ass.
