Disney Infinity cancelled

And then, for me, there were 3. Nemo, Alice, and Sam Flynn are all I have left to collect. Hope all the fans here were able to take advantage of the deals out there. Also, it would appear that the figures at the end of the line: Alice Through The Looking Glass and Finding Dory--all of them--do not contain collectible cards. Or I was extremely unlikely and my Dory, Madhatter, and Time weren't properly packaged with them.

Today's the last day for the Cartwheel 60% off. Just picked up Dory and Olaf. The Cartwheel deal did not apply to playsets, but getting Dory for $14 wasn't too shabby. I went to 2 Targets far out from where I live and the character pickings are getting slim. I wonder if Infinity figures will pop up at places like Ross, Tuesday Mornings, Big Lots, etc. I really dig the sculpting on the figures.

The fire sale is underway. I picked up several Infinity figures I lacked this evening. My local Wal-Mart's were selling the figures for $4.95 each and the playsets for $11. Target did one better, especially if you use their Cartwheel app and got 4 figures at 60% off. Thus, I spent $3.03 per figure. I now lack 8 figures overall, but that's discounting Agent 13, Phineas, the FX ones, and redundant unpainted/clear Infinite types. The figures I lack are: Alice, Madhatter, Mickey, Minnie, Olaf, and Sam Flynn, Nemo, and Dory + playset.

There is a new 5 Below opening nearby on the 8th. I had to drive over there to find that out, but in the process I went to the Walmart across the street and they had their Infinity Avengers figures for $5, so I got my MODOK for my MU collection.

^Same here. I told my kids to hold off buying any, because you know they are going to blow these out before too long. Probably before Christmas.

Our Wal-Mart has the original and 2.0 starter sets for $20!

The Walmart's in my neck of the wood charge $11.96 per Infinity Figure. I'd have to go to TRU in order to find those harder to find characters like the Tron figures. I anticipate a fire sale is going to happen with the Infinity figures so big box stores can make more room for other things that are still supported like Amiboo and Lego Dimensions.

The marvel figures out now are $14.95 everywhere except Five Below, where they are $5. I ask Walmart when they were putting theirs on clearance last night and got a blank stare.

i think there is a real missed opportunity with all of these toy to game figures. As they are now they are nothing but fancy character selections for the game. They should interact with each other out side of the video game, like a board game were the more you play the character in the video game the stronger the character gets in the board game, and the more they battle in the board game the character gets powered up in the video game. Kinda like mixing them with an electronic hero clix style game. It would give kids twice as many reasons to buy them and use them.

Don't think Skylanders will. The next version coming out will have it you can customize your characters.

Not sure why but I'm thinking Nintendo's Amiibos won't be far behind.

Well, with all the stocking issues going on with Amiibo, I can definitely see why you would think that. Personally, I think Skylanders is the next one to go.

Just saw on my Facebook feed a picture of Spider-Gwen for Disney Infinity from Comic Book Resources. Chalk it up to another character we won't see from Disney Infinity due to its cancellation. Such a shame a lot of time, effort, and money went into deciding on what characters to do, how'd they pose, and the like, before the plug got pulled.

The article isn't exactly yesterday fresh, but, man, does it stink that the line finished early and we're not getting this Doctor Strange as well as the other ones like Peter Pan, Jaffar, etc. I really did like the Dr. Strange figure! Guess I'll have to hope Emce/DST makes a retro figure (or I'll customize, I saw a cool one on FB the other day) and I'll be buying the Dr. Strange Lego of course.

I doubt they'll be worth much. They produced a TON of those. Maybe the later releases, like Boba Fett?

Thanks for the assessment... I'm looking for basically the OT ones---despite being "OT", Boba Fett is hit or miss for me--- bargains on Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie and Vader are what I'm hoping to see-----never was really into stylized versions of stuff, but those looked pretty dang iconically cool to me---being a huge SW OT fan and all.

Yoda is another I'd consider... I think that just about covers all OT Infinity figs.
