There are a few more play sets to be released, but no more games. I am pretty shocked by this, considering Disney has so many franchises to come and seemed pretty proud of its Infinity empire on one of its cruise ships: But upon further reflection, I think the toys-to-life market is really saturated and we've got plenty of figures to enjoy for several years to come. How about you? Sad news? Had enough? Not really into DI anyway?

I agree that the market is quite saturated at the moment but if any of the major three (Infinity, Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions) seemed to have the best future potential it was certainly Disney's. It was the only one that had me on the verge of collecting the figures for myself. My daughter owns games from all three franchises and Infinity was the only one that appealed to me from the gaming perspective. As a person working in retail, though, I'm glad to see a shift away from these (hopefully). They are a mess to stock and our store rarely gets the good stuff when it comes out, and that includes Amiibos as well. Edited by The Red Shadow, May 11 2016, 10:29 AM.

My kids love 'em, btw, and really favor them over Skylanders, and enough to keep the money suck that is Lego Dimensions at bay (and out of our house). And they really raised their game with 3.0. The Star Wars missions are really well done IMHO.

Do you tofu?

I think I'm a little old for it. Speaking from the perspective of someone who will be starting a family in the very near future (and also someone who is heavily into video games), this cancellation is rather relieving. I won't have to get sucked into buying all of it for my kids.... ... though that probably means money will get sucked into something else for them but at least I won't have to find a place to display all the figurines.

Day is the day that my wife came home with a mondo Infinity 2.0 pack from Walmart and my son, who was grinning from ear to ear. She had no idea of the amount of figures the kids would hit us up for over the next year and a half....so yes, you should be relieved.... ...but now we must be vigilant in staving off Lego Dimensions AT ALL COSTS!!!

Pretty good deals if you want in on it before its gone.
