No Pan, no Goofy, no Dipper or Mabel, no Wolverine. No promised Disney playset.Β I had a near complete collection. I don't even know what to do with myself at the moment. Alice Through The Looking Glass and Finding Dory are it unfortunately. It'd be awesome if they kept making that style figures.

I wish at the very least they'd release Pan and the playsets that they told us were coming.

As soon as I heard about this, I rushed out and bought all of the currently released figures that I don't have, specifically all 7 of the Star Wars Light FX figures. What play sets did they mention they we're planning on releasing?? It was a great, fun run, but I must say, I'm glad that it's over. Now I can get back to Championship Title Belts.

A shame, but not a shock really. I think it's safe to say that the TTL business model has run it's course for the most part.
The only figures I see people still going nuts over are the amiibo figures, and I think that's only because of the way Nintendo has been releasing them.

Now I can get back to Championship Title Belts. ha me to When I got home last night, I gave my son the Light FX figures. I told him to go count how many he has now. As he was counting, I hid 10 of them all over the Palace, which Iβm saving for his Birthday and Christmas. When he came up to tell me how many he has, I was shocked to find out that we have 101 figures. I didnβt realize that I already had that many. By the time weβre done, we should have 115. Thank GOD itβs over!!

The thing with Amiibo is that it's often the only time you can get merchendise of some of these characters. Most DI characters have other figures, or at least merch to buy. How many Duck Hunt Duo or Ness or Captain Falcon figures are there aside from Amiibo? Even favorites like DK and Mario don't get a huge amount of figures.

So it seems that Disney Infinity had big plans past Alice and Dory. kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484We would have ended up with two more sets for 3.0. Which would have been Rogue One and Moana. While in 4.0 we would have gotten Cars 3, Coco, GOTG 2, Thor: Ragnorak, and POTC 5. There were also plans for 12 inch figures that would have run $45 and have special abilities.

I'm actually a tad better about it cancelling knowing that the Disney playset was only for Moana rather than Gravity Falls or Lion King. I'm sure it would have been great though. 12 inch figures sound amazing but space is already a huge issue for me at the moment. I would think that the 12 inch line could have been a way to do bigger characters too, like maybe Elliot from Pete's Dragon and Arlo from Good Dinosaur.
POTC 5 no doubt would have got a playset in 4.0, probably Coco too. So I'm really pissed off about that.

I read an article about how they said they made too many figures. They used Hulk as an example where they said that they made 2 million figures, but only sold 1 million. Honestly the only person they have to blame for that is themselves. Hulk, when DI was first released was a Playstation exclusive. You wanted Hulk at launch, you had to buy the special edition for Playstation 3 or 4. Hulk would not be released to general retail for a few months later. The problem with this was that the Avengers play set they had was so damn short and offered no replay value whatsoever that many people by the time Hulk came out said screw it and did not bother. I think this was the reason that Hulk did not sell as well as they thought he would. Had they had Hulk as just a standard figure when DI2 launched then I am sure he would have been one of the main characters that people picked up as well as the starter pack at launch.

In this instance though, they needed to scale back. Still selling 1 million figures of one character is actually incredible. Just don't overproduce them instead of completely cancelling the entire project.

Skylanders didn't conquer anything. Yeah, Skylanders looks like ass. After I've finished my DI collection I was kind of thinking about endeavoring into Lego Dimensions. Those year 2 additions like Goonies and Sonic have me pretty interested. Have you played it?

I'm thinking about the Lego game just for some of the characters. Not sure if I'm gonna invest it the game itself yet.

The only ones Iβm missing are the Alice Through The Looking Glass figures and the Finding Dory playset. After I get these, Iβm done trying to complete any set. My Son wants to start Lego Dimensions, and I told him he can if he wants to, but Iβm not going to go crazy over it and try to collect all of them.

Still need 2 SW playsets, Dameron, Nick & Judy, Dory, Alice 3, all of the 3.0 Marvels and some of the Crystals. That makes sense, it has some great IPs in it. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
