Regarding infinite arms, anyone have any idea whatsoever? It seems like it's just disappeared since March or so.

>>5994366
There's a new silhouetted character and other weapons on their website, but that;s it

>>5994904
Those have been around for a while, no? I first found out about it from that IGN article about it and Lightseekers and they were there then too. If progress is happening then great.

This is actually kinda cute.

If they do end up doing Disney properties in year 3 or beyond, I'd love to see some of their TV shows. Star and Gravity Falls would fit like a glove.

Technically, the last thing they did together was "Right Now Kapow!" a show that aired a month ago.

Before that the last thing they did together was LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens, which released in spring.

Is confirmed they are still working on her, or have been cancelled or something?

I have to disagree. I think the people that like that game enough to invest in toys already bought the characters they want.

I don't know the person who watched that Amiibo trailer and said to themselves, "I better to buy that Skips Amiibo I saw at Target the other day!"

3D printed Skylanders are back on the table... I think.

Seems to go in waves.

That's good. Every day I feel slightly more tempted to order one because I'm falling in love with my retarded childrens' game waifu.

I took the plunge. It's going to be a godawful waste of money, but I actually liked how the character came out.

>>6004151
i still want to know how they work in-game. is it still a creation crystal or a regular skylander that doesnt pause when it says its catchphrase?

I thought the franchise was dead and that pic on op's pic doesn't look like a fan edit.

Did anything ever come of that fan vote for new Infinity figures or did they throw that out because people were botting votes?
>>
>>6004871
It got thrown out because the entire franchise was cancelled with no warning.
>>6004679
Rumor is Supergirl will be a funpack next year and GA is a promo for Black Friday.
>>
>>6004927
That's a damn shame. I've been really wanting some quality Gravity Falls figures and having that Mabel would have been great. The game itself was ok but I was all about the figures.
>>
>>6004927
Damn shame they might be walling off Green Arrow only for people buying starter packs on Black Friday.
>>
>>6004997
From the sound of it it's more "spend X amount of money on Dimensions stuff" and get him.

too be honest, i wouldnt have bought it anyway because none of the characters would be useful in anything but the playset

Hope so, I can wait on buying Fantastic Beasts and Gremlins till then if that's the case. Hope the deal counts online since I'm stuck working Black Friday.

I'm pretty sure they just stick the CC NFC chip into the base of the 3D print.same with the cards,which I'm kinda tempted to get? It's 5 bucks more than the Crystals but everything I'd need is already unlocked.

Speaking of the cards, you can get a preview for how they look on the site.
>>
>>6009854
Get Lucina and Code Name STEAM. Fire Emblem amiibos add new playable characters, which is a bit more than the usual amiibo bonuses (and the game could use some more love). Then get Fire Emblem Fates so you can summon Lucina and have her join your army. And finally the new Style Savvy game so you can dress up girls like Lucina. And Kirby. And Isabelle.

>>6009899
Also this. While only Mario-related figures - and only the ones that were playable in Smash - will give you access to characters with unique abilities (and 5 special levels each to show off their unique skills), you can play the main 10 levels using a generic character by scanning any amiibo.
>>
gamestop restocked robin and pit today
>>
I just recently found out about the restocking when I went to Gamestop to buy Daisy and Rosalina. A few days later I managed to buy Lucina exclusively (at least that's what they say) at Best Buy. I also found out about Palutena at Toys R Us (don't know if that's also exclusive). I tried to find out if there's other restocks, but came up with crap posted a year ago. Does anybody know any other restocks that are exclusive or not? I'm particularly looking for Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina & Luma.

Animal crossing kinda gets boring when you 'perfect' your town. The amiibo gives new items to hoard as well as being cute collectable figures. I already have enough cute dust magnets on my shelf but these ones add to my game now instead so I'll buy them. Especially while they're on sale for $10 at my store.

I just bought the skylanders 'swap mode' starter pack yesterday for $9 because it was a fun thing I played for half an hour and also it was $9. Is there like an 'OP' hero or any particular game strategy that comes with these things?
>>
>>6016136
Spy Rise can fly off-screen and shoot a laser beam from above, alongside having this rapid webshooter move that slows enemies.

Magna Charge can carry midsize enemies and throw them off course

The demise of Disney infinity has made me think.
Why don't more toymakers jump into the TtL market?
How come the big toymakers like hasbro don't have their own lines?
>>
>>6027438
Because it only works when you have a game that's not shitty and figures worth a damn. Have you played the other TTL lines that aren't Infinity, Skylanders, or Legos? There's at least 3-4 of them that I know of off-hand.

>How come the big toymakers like hasbro don't have their own lines?
Because you need several things:
>Good figures of brands coming together that people would want to collect.
>Figures that appeal to both children and adult collectors.
>A good game where said figures can interact in fun ways towards all demographics.

We've seen Bamco try it out with Kamen Rider Summonride and they failed spectacularly, and if it fails to catch on you are stuck with a huge amount of inventory you have to get rid of.

In Summonride's example, you have:
>What is essentially the most barebones version of Skylanders imaginable that locks almost everything but the main path behind paid figures.
>Controls like a drunk version of Battride War
>The portal can't even read two figures on the portal properly but requires discs to be put on the portal for you to have supports and transformations.
Think the Disney Infinity portal when you put it on top of a Wii U for example, then try to do a dual disc stack with a figure, you get constant disconnections. Now, remove the two disks and just have the base figure on the portal on top of a disk randomly on another part of it, it will disconnect constantly.
>The figures themselves are all in the exact same pose, around the size of a quarter to a half-dollar, and are of pretty cheap plastic quality.
>The DX figure packs that come with two characters and two disks cost $18 on release.
>Gash figures that came separately were like $4 or $5 on release and were basically just portions of the DX pack sold cheaper but have no difference from the DX figures.

I honestly want to buy it now since figure packs are like $3 and the PS3 version starter pack is like $20 now just to see how truly barebones it is, Youtube videos and the absolute hate-filled Amazon.co.jp reviews aren't enough.

im surprised that TTL didnt do well in japan, which was probably summonride's fault. they only got Spyro's adventure and infinity 1.0.

sauce? or what would be the point, since most characters either share a moveset or can even use another's weapon. I only really used 2 characters for the SW playsets

Do they still make Lego games now, or is Dimensions just going to be all of them from now on the way Infinity was just going to be all of the disney movie tie-in games.
>>
>>6036713
They just released a new Lego Star Wars and Lego Avengers just after that. Seems like Dimensions Story Packs are for those franchises or single movies that aren't big enough, or don't have enough characters and concepts to support a full solo release.

Or they were just series that Disney was already using in Infinity.
>>
I own a ton of Lego Dimensions, but no starter pack and I heard some of the game disks are faulty as fuck.

I've been semi tempted to buy the damn game, but I only own wii-u.

So now I'm like 50/50 wanting to buy the Adventure time packs while on big sale or just wait when they may possibly drop in price a little, at the very least the team pack would drop.

Are you talking about the actual game disc that goes in the console? The only character disc that people have reported problems with is Marceline.

I stopped by Toys R Us and they had their custom recolor of Pit Boss skylander, and it kind of pissed me off because there's still no dark crystal and still no normal Pit Boss. I guess those come out around the 18th which kind of irks me because it's so close to Christmas. I kind of don't want to go shopping that weekend.
>>
>>6038273
Just be glad there's a chance that the regular one might actually come out. Easter Thrillipede was the only one of him we ever got.

I picked up Imaginators on sale at TRU yesterday afternoon, last Wii U one left. The sale is still going on through today I believe.

I was gonna get Lego at Walmart for $40 but it wasn't on the app and I certainly wasn't going to fight fuckbois at the mall for it on black friday so oh well.

I also got Target's Solar Flare Aurora, she's pretty cool, the boxes seemed to have been coated in some white fluffy dust shit. I found one that wasn't but there's a tiny crease in the back of the box and it's driving me crazy.
>>
I grabbed the portal level pack and green arrow yesterday. My little brother got sonic, jake and LSP, Midway, and fantastic beasts story. which is the best to play through first?

Man, the Gwen and Doc Strange had me salty enough that infinity got canned, now you go and post those? Feelsbadman. Gwen pose is great and I guess it helps that Blueberry Cuttlefish is uh, facially distinct for the figure likeness.

I dig the beast in a suit. Still holding out hope they'll do some thing with the figures.
>>
>>6039073
we never got regular thrillipede? i dont care for him...but he was kinda released much later when the game was long dead
>>
>>6040220
He and his vehicle came out for like one day at TRU. After that they never gave him a restock (because of the late release) so it was basically easter version only. Similar things happened with some of the Yawn Traps in Trap Team, and Swap Force had problems with a few figures that were never packaged in later waves like Rubble Rouser and especially Magna Charge. Even Giants had problems now thinking back with a few figures not appearing in assortments ever again like S2 Bash.
>>
I got lego dimensions for the Wii U, but its very choppy when running at 1080p, and the lighting seems very low-quality compared to videos I see online. I got a PS4, though. Should I switch?

Or am I even able to get the disk by itself?
>>
>>6041253
Disk by itself might be possible on ebay for a reasonable price. I never noticed any choppy scenes on my PS4, but I also don't look for that kind of stuff.

Sonic and Midway are both great.

Portal's also really good.

My haul for Black Friday was M:I, Finn, Gremlins, Tina, Fantastic Beasts, GB2016 and possibly Green Arrow since I did everything online.
>>
>>6042684

Really though, all the Portal stuff in Dimensions is pretty neato.

i played through portal and this update fucked up the level. everything is mute and during the last boss fight with glados the panel will not register the portal gun hitting it
Fantastic beasts world was pretty fucked up too.
>>
>>6042904
I'm only a couple stages into the Fantastic Beasts story pack, but so far it's worked fine. Same for the Sonic pack. Which is shocking because this game's been a glitch-filled, broken mess since day one for me.

Dude that Doctor Strange DI figure looks sweet as hell. It's not getting made?
>>
>>6044281
Nope.

Shanghain Disneyland needed required extensive rebuilds since they didn't properly oversee construction. And then Disney spent a billion dollars on a deal with ESPN to air their games exclusively.

This all meant that they would show a loss on their stocks unless they cut costs quick.

So they canned DI entirely, shutting it all down after Finding Dory and firing everybody.
>>
>>6044291
That's fucking shit. Oh well
>>
>>6044292
ABC got hit with it too. They cancelled Galavant, Muppets, and all the Marvel shows they had in production aside from the Netflix stuff and AoS. (Cloak and Dagger and Runaways are exempt since they were developed post-culling.)
>>
>>6044304
They're saving all the funds for newer Star Wars movies and better Star Wars figures...right...right...
>>
Looks like Walmart is having major sales on everything DI related. I know most stores are sporadically, but I just picked up Rise Against the Empire and Marvel Battlegrounds for $11 each. Figures are $4 each. The only things still MSRP are 3.0 disks and the Toy Box playsets. Target doesn't seem to have any sales at all which is weird since their DI section is extremely small now.
>>
Are DI and Skylanders even fun to play
>>
>>6045609
DI is fun but only if you play the playsets in my opinion. Toy Box is only fun if you have a creative bone in your body and that's where most of their effort went into.

Think of it like any Lego game you can buy, characters are mostly the same with some slight gimmick being different (Though the gimmicks are a bit more pronounced with DI), enemies have i-frames between getting hit like in Lego games, and enemies explode into bits as do your characters. If you don't care for Lego games then you will probably want to steer clear of DI as it has the same problems as they do which would be that it's too easy (Extreme just makes you hit like you're using a Nerf Bat while dying in two hits with enemies that have extremely accurate shots), it's mainly you running through collecting stuff except now the locked stuff it tied to real purchases, and there's a good amount of challenges you can do.

3.0 > 1.0 > 2.0 in terms of playsets in my opinion, 2.0 just felt really bland.

I gotta ask, is there a list of the most useful Dimensions packs?

I'm short on space on where to put all the minifigs and vehicles.
>>
>>6045812

Most useful? Depends on what you want to do. Do you want to collect all 480 Gold Bricks in the base game? Or just unlock all of the base game worlds?
If you want to unlock everything, you'll need the six level packs, Scooby-Doo team, Jurrasic World team, the Wicked Witch, a Chima character (Cragger is the most useful), and a Ninjago character (Sensei Wu has the once elusive Pole Vault). To round out abilities, you should get Slimer, Aquaman, Unikitty (or LSP from the Adventure Time team), Emmet (for Drill), and the Cyberman (X-Ray Vision and Drone). I think that's the minimum to complete the base game. But don't forget Hire-A-Hero.
>>
>>6045609
I call Skylanders "Pokemon/Gotcha force Gauntlet". it's mainly a generic platformer where you play as characters with different attacks to plow through enemies and get through a stage, level up and collect things.

You can beat the game with the starter pack characters alone, but every character you own acts an extra life without the need to reset back to the beginning or checkpoint. Certain characters/elements are required to unlock certain areas and items, but are really just a superficial incentive. in a way, the game doesnt really force you to buy everything, and you can always return a skylander to your local store after you unlock something
>>
>>6045812
>>6045860
Ability-wise, I think the most useful ones are Midway Arcade, Adventure Time Level and Team Packs, Mission Impossible, and Doctor Who. Objectively, I believe, these packs can cover the most situations.

But as for niche abilities in addition to overall versatility, I'd also suggest getting
the Harry Potter Team Pack for various magic and parseltongue abilities,
the Back to the Future Level Pack or Doc Brown for time travel pads,
Sensei Wu for polevault and spinjutsu,
the Ghostbusters 2016 story pack for ghost suspension/trapping and charge transfer abilites,
Fantastic Beasts Story Pack for magic and Fantastic Briefcase abilities,
and Cragger for Diving+Chi ability combination.

I'm still figuring out the prioritization of ability packs, but using this tracker as a reference is a huge help:

TRU has similar sales, figures are $4 and the packs are about $14 so not quite the cheapest.

I've been getting deep into Skylanders, including all the old stuff. I'm way, way into finding things for as cheap as possible.

TRU had a glitch the other night where you could combine b1g3 with a superchargers starter pack so I got the Nintendo starter packs with 4 free figures (x3) including a buzz wing.

Finding deals is fun until you're staring at a figure waiting for it to drop below five bucks while also hoping for a buy one get one.

Superchargers characters seem pretty well stocked though so I'll hold on for clearance.
>>
>>6056132
try not to slip too far down the slope. All you need are the characters you like unless you like em all. Vehicles, Trap Crystals, magic/level items all unecessary and useless as the next games come out.
>>
>>6056132
A lot of stores have cheap Superchargers stuff or earlier on sale.

Just FYI if you're looking for cheap deals, check supermarkets, and if you have them, Pat Catans crafts and Five Below. I picked up some Trap Team Trap Masters for cheap and Five Below always has a nice selection of things including old 3 packs.

Just saw the Goofy and Jafar. Kill me now.

Why did the best one have to die. I stopped collecting Skylanders and sold off my completely OG and Giants collection when Infinity came out because buying all the Skylanders was becoming too expensive and I at least have an attachment to the characters.

Kids came over for a Christmas party and broke a bunch and I don't even know if I have the heart in me to bother replacing them.
>>
>>6077624
>Why did the best one have to die
I just started playing Dimensions. it's still sort of the same old generic lego game we get every year, but i get to walk through an open world with 7 different characters at once who have no relation to each other. I also just played Crash and Bowser with my brother in Skylands a few minutes ago.

anyway, it died because it was not the best
>>
>>6077750

You said nothing that made the other two better. Just subjective I GET TO PLAY AS CRASH SKYLANDERS WINS. Infinity was 10x as ambitious. They were bringing in other studios that excelled in certain gameplay departments to elevate each area of their game which was bringing not only variety but GOOD variety.

LEGO Dimensions is even admittedly by your own words just another LEGO game except theyve actually dumbed it down from the usual. Skylanders was basically a linear Gauntlet-esque game that had potential but never met it gameplay wise. And the problem there is that's ALL Skylanders was. A short game repetitive game that once you've beaten offers nothing new to you. I enjoyed the combat but they never wanted to put the effort in to make their game deeper and more palatable for adults and I'd say it suffered for that. Can only steamroll through the game with a new character so many times before just doing it to see new abilities stops being entertaining.

Infinity on the other hand had varied story modes with unique gameplay, Disney Mario Kart done by a studio that does kart games better than Nintendo, a Diablo inspired randomly generated raiding mode done by Ninja Theory (who also completely revamped the combat system in 3.0 to amplify the depth), a Power Stone inspired arena fighter, Farming and Sidekicks, and an extremely robust creation engine with its own logic system. And the best part was how involved the developers were with the community. It was a passion project for them and they related to the fans in wanting the best possible product they could make which is why they pushed the game forward any chance they got.

You could take away everything and Disney would win on the creation engine alone. I've downloaded maps that turn it into a horror game, a cinematic escape from a ruins Indy style, a side scroller.

And hell not that it matters but it was outselling the other two as well. No matter what metric you measure by Infinity was crushing it.
>>
>>6078093
What bugs me is that even with all the stuff you just said, Infinity still fell short of its potential because of the legalistic infighting. Strange character choices and forced playsets and restrictions kind of limited the potential in a weird way that was completely unnecessary. Even with all the limits in place, it was still better than Skylanders in terms of gameplay. I actually still play through the Force Awakens set with my friend sometimes. We crank up the difficulty and have to actually pay attention to what we're doing and it's rewarding to execute the weirder combos. It's just fun.
>>
>>6078653

Yeah that's the one unavoidable problem and the devs even acknowledged it. I wasn't really bothered by who got playsets and figures as it makes sense usually and I can't get assmad that Saludos Amigos didn't get a play set while the newest Disney movie did. The biggest annoyance to me was characters like Maleficent and Alice having to forego their iconic animated designs to represent The live action movies. Even weirder is that we got normal Baloo.

I respected the devs though they knew they had quotas to hit with new properties (and to their credit they made them fun) but they also recognized the diehard fan element and fought for us on things like Mulan, Baloo, Aladdin, Peter and the Darkwing Duck/Mabel poll
>>
>>6077750
>I also just played Crash and Bowser with my brother in Skylands a few minutes ago.
Wait, can you still use Bowser and DK in the newest Skylanders? I kind of assumed they were one offs for Super Chargers.
>>
>>6045701
Can't you only use certain guys in playsets though? That really hampers my enjoyment of them I think.
>>
>>6079473
You can only use that brand's characters in the DLC, and only if you collect the Champion coins. It was due to rights problems in the end, the only reason the Toy Box lets people play together is because they're "toy dolls" of the characters, not the characters themselves.
>>
>>6079478
That's a big problem for me when it comes to Star Wars, because while I think they look like they would be fun playsets, I'm not super into the way any of those force users and gun slingers play, and would rather be using Disney or Marvel characters.
>>
>>6079470
I don't see why not as long as it's a Nintendo version ... I mean the whole thing is that each new version supports all the characters from the previous ones... I can boot up imaginators and play with the original skylanders
>>
>>6079470
They're still Nintendo-exclusive, which surprised me since Crash is not Sony-exclusive. It's a good thing, but I didn't expect it.
>>
>>6078093
Disney Infinity didnt really have the same "buyers' incentive" that the other two had. Most characters either had the same (boring) movesets or were limited to Toy Box use. I never bothered to buy anymore Star Wars or Marvel characters because all i needed were Iron Man's flight, Finn's overpowered blaster and Ahsoka's dual-wielding. I never even got to enjoy all the extra characters for Takeover since it was so short. The restrictions really didn't help, neither. also no matter how well stocked a toy box world is, it still feels entirely empty. Sure you're flying around a lava world with a Sleeping Beauty castle in the middle next to two floating Mystery hack's, or doing that boss rush level where you fight bosses a very particular way; but for what? getting a high score? some sparks? a new floaty sidekick? because story? what story? that description some guy wrote in the menu screen?

Skylanders may not be as deep nor have any really useful character/type-exclusive unlocks, but its presentation expresses a lot of personality through the diverse and very animated cast of characters, each of their unique abilities, and even expressed through the game itself. and you can use everyone that retroactively existed in every game.

Lego Dimensions is certainly another generic Lego game, but they also enjoy playing with the various properties and putting them together through the story or certain areas. and again, you can play up to 7 unrelated characters at once in an unrelated open world, because you just can.
>>
>>6080856
The big issue is Disney Infinity easily had the highest potential out of all three, then got killed just as it was starting to be realized.

The fact that it died just as we were getting a proper story mode kills me.

Also how much was it to get a 3D Print of it? And does it count as it's own Skylander? Like had a readable chip or w/e in it for your guy?
>>
>>6095397
That's TOMY's catalog right? Are they making regular like articulating figures then with Lightseekers? Did they actually come up with that because it seemed like it was a semi indie game for mobile? The whole thing seemed super weird like it looked great but then it appeared to be a strictly mobile game?

>>6095414
Not them, but the 3D print is around $50 I think, and it has a chip in it like a regular Skylander, just with whatever you programmed on it at the time. I think you can use it as an alternative to the elemental imaginite figure instead so that's neat. I heard they're always sold out though.

Also, I think someone may have mentioned the Dimensions packs at Five Below. Just checked their website and in addition to Benny, Bad Cop, Gimli, Legolas, Zane, Nya, Cragger and Laval that I've seen at most of the stores, they also have Eris (Chima), and shockingly, Emmett, Wonder Woman and Wicked Witch.

I picked up Wondy and Witch and shipping is $5. It's cheaper than what amazon has them listed so if anyone is looking for em, grab em now.

Hey guys, I am posting here hoping for some answers, because it is really difficult to narrow down information on Disney Infinity online. Sorry if you guys get these questions a lot.

1) First of all, my wife and I first found Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Edition digital download from the Xbox One online store for $30. It looked fun, so we grabbed it only to be greeted by a "plug in your base to continue" message after their short intro. We did some research and found out that you still need the physical copies and base to play the game, and we found the $30 physical starter pack along with some figures to go with the base.

However, my question is, if the physical base comes with the game disc and what not, what did spending $30 on the online store unlock? Did we get all the characters (I doubt this)? Did we unlock some game modes?

2) My second question is, we noticed that some of the figure sets came with these clear looking symbol figures. We did some quick research, and our impression is that those are "campaigns" that you can purchase. Is that correct? Should we grab as many of those as we can as well? Or do you guys think it's better to find user created content online?

3) Lastly, we are planning on ordering some figures or whatever sets eventually after we set up the 3.0 game. Are there any recommendations for special sets or what not to look out for? Is it worth it to also grab 1.0 and 2.0 if they are forward compatible?

Thank you for your time in advance!

1) You don't need the physical disc, you just need the physical base and figures for the base. What you bought online is a digital copy of what's on the disc, which is intended for players who bought 1.0 or 2.0 already and had the base.

2) I don't think all the campaigns are great, however 3.0 has the better ones. If you enjoy Star Wars, all three of the Star Wars campaigns are fun and if you can find one, maybe consider it. There is a 3.0 Marvel campaign that works a little more like a brawling minigame with a more expanded selection of moves for the Marvel characters. There is also a Finding Dory, Inside Out, and a racing-specific one that are all fine but I didn't spend as much time on those as I did on Star Wars.

Side note, I believe that when the servers are shut down, if they haven't been already, you won't be able to download content from other users anymore.

3) Only the 3.0 campaigns are compatible with 3.0, however all older figures will be usable in the toybox. The catch, however, is that 3.0 kind of had more thought put into the moves and abilities of characters, so unless you are a really really big Frozen fan, there's not a lot of reason to track down Elsa. Just the same, now that it's been discontinued there are a lot of bargains to be found, so who knows what your pricepoint will be.
>>
>>6108667
1) You paid $30 for what the physical disc gives you which is just the base Toy Box with the bare minimum of things in it. You're missing the actual figures, playsets, and base which are mandatory to play

2) Clear figures are story modes or game modes. You should not buy them separately (Exception is Speedway and Takeover) as they usually require specific characters to play at first, and on 3.0 only figures tied to that franchise can be played in their campaigns. So, for example, all the Star Wars playsets let you play as the Rebels characters but you must have found their Champion Coin in the playset itself as it lets you play as them in that specific playset.

A simpler way to explain this is that each playset has a certain set of characters tied to it. Until you use one of those default characters to find Champion Coins in-game you cannot play as the other ones OF THAT SAME SERIES. You cannot do something like stick Buzz Lightyear in the Star Wars playset, it's a mess of legal issues that prevent this.

User created stuff is gone and it really wasn't that good to begin with due to framerate issues, general lack of polish, or it was just enemy gauntlets. The playsets are by far the better parts of the games, though in 2.0 they were very lackluster.

3) Playsets only work on their specific version, so 2.0 playsets can't work on 3.0, they just give you the item unlocks instead. You need to buy 1.0 and 2.0 if you want to play their playsets.

Definitely look into the Star Wars playsets, they did a great job on those (Though the Luke/Leia one and the Force Awakens ones are extremely short). Inside Out was a great one, Finding Dory was okay, The Avengers was cool at first but really really mediocre on a replay, and The Incredibles is pretty fun.

The only rare things in Disney Infinity are the Kingdom Hearts Mickey outfit Power Disk and like a handful of blind bag ones, that's about it, so you should be able to get everything under MSRP or equal to it still.

Thank you all for the replies!

I think that cleared up A LOT of questions we had. I do have one last question:

We saw trailers where you got to play different characters from different franchises together. Is that like a "free mode" or something? Can we buy more "free modes"? What is it? Are there a lot of content in that?
>>
>>6108939
The Toy Box is a generic area you can play in that lets you build other levels and fight other series' enemies and bad guys and stuff. You get that by default, and it's where the general tutorial for the game is, 3.0 has a rather extensive one. There's two games that add onto that for 3.0, Toy Box Speedway (A racing game), and Toy Box Takeover (A "dungeon" crawling mini story where you fight in different areas and it has some RPG elements), and with these you can have other characters interact with each other because they're considered "dolls" in this mode rather than their character themselves.

>>6107820

They pretty much confirmed all 5 team members will be playable in some form or another, with Robin and Cyborg being playable through their normal figures.

The thing that pisses me off about Lego Dimensions is that the abilities on the upgrade trees for some vehicles tend to overlap, leading to a lack of uniqueness, making Gold Bricks feel wasted when spent on new models.

Granted, this is probably because the devs didn't want people to complain about the vehicle system: If there were too many vehicles/gadgets with exclusive abilities, people would complain about having to get more kits to unlock everything. But if all the gadgets had the same abilities, getting new kits would just be a waste of money.
>>
>>6110266
I think you're right in that it's sort of a catch 22. Personally, I kind of hate having to use vehicles at all because the game already has enough character swapping as is. Throwing in even more tedium breaks the momentum of the platforming parts for me. By that same token, I love building the little pieces and they become better display pieces sometimes so I'm happy to own a couple cars that more or less function the same.
>>
>>6111159
Gotta agree, lots of the vehicles make really nice builds like Sonic and Harry Potter but I do try and use characters where i can.
Vehicles handle like crap, generally get stuck on your other characters and you have to keep finding them. Planes up and down being the camera stick sucks too.
I'd do all the foot races with sonic but they generally put some jump in it somewhere.

The Cyberman's Dalek is great for races. But for some reason it doesn't work in at least one place, the Mines of Moria race in the LotR world.

aren't there like 100+ skylanders at this point (Not counting variants and shit like Swap combos)?
That sounds like a pain in the ass to make a checklist of.
>>
>>6107800
No need to post, I own every single one except for those hybrid Skylanders/amiibo.

Kinda depressing since I spent all this money on them but they're all in a plastic bin because I don't have any ideas on how to make them look nice, and a fucking Detolf is ugly in my room.

I'm really hoping that the Vortech datamine is true. So far in Dimensions, the only universes explored in detail are those from which every character thus far has come; we know next to nothing about Vorton itself. If Vortech comes with a level pack telling his side before or after the main story [spoiler] when that other minifigure gets corrupted [/spoiler] then it would be a godsend.

Don't have the game, but how is the customization? Like, what tools do you have?

>>6115090
It's mostly just height adjustment and color swaps, but you can get an app that lets you play around with it.

I've been trying to download the app, but it keeps saying I have insufficient storage, even when I deleted nearly everything I downloaded and added a new micro SD card.

You can't move or resize parts individually, which is a pain when the ear or headgear pieces are enormous or weirdly placed. One example being the unicorn horn points backwards

Fingers seriously crossed.. A Lord Vortech minifig would easily be in my top 5 favorite Minifigs ever made.
I just wonder if they'd give him the Helmet or just the printed head and how they'd work that clear body. My guess is translucent limbs and maybe a light blue body with some astral looking printing on it.

Does Skylanders have anything resembling a tier list or competitive metagame yet?

I don't want to buy them all, but I would like access to the top 16 or figures.
>>
>>6126742
>competitive metagame
theres some for swap force, but what's the point? youre really supposed to like skylanders that fit your play style
>>
>>6126742
It's a game for children. I mean, Pokemon is too and there are "tier lists" for that, but what is your endgame? Do you want to finish the game on hard? You can do that with anyone. Do you want to be the best at the Global Skylanders Championship? Well, that's not a real thing so don't sweat it.
>>
>>6126692
Oh, I like that. Bokoblin looks neat, but I don't know if that Zelda sculpt is all that great.
>>
>>6126742
The only characters that are decent are those with large AOE attacks and stuff that's fast since every Skylander moves like fucking garbage.

Stealth Elf, Drobot, Wallop, and I felt my Fire Gunslinger Imaginator was pretty good with some high speed and defense.
>>
>>6126742
Swap Force had a pvp arena so people made lists for those. Any newer game just has lists for what kills things fastest, but those don't matter much besides being "buy the newest characters".
>>
>>6126863
My playstyle is winning. I like whatever wins.
>>6127336
To the very best like no one ever was. Like the legendary Samurai Miyamoto Musashi imma use the weapons I've mastered to crush any person in Arena I can find. Plus just because there aren't any tournaments for it now that doesn't mean I can't set up any in the future.
>>6127367
Thanks I'll have a look for those then.
>>6128886
So wait, the newer games don't come with PVP? Lol, no wonder they didn't sell well. I'll eventually still look at all the newer figures in case they bring it back. But... for now I'll just focus on the Swap Force ones, cheers.
>>
>>6124782
Painyatta double pack is on amazon, i was able to preorder before it went to out of stock, since i was able to get him i just found an ebay bid on chompy mage since hes the only one i had left to get (thats out) and ended up getting a not to bad deal on him
>>
>>6129759
Trap Team is still a fun game that you might like. Doesn't have PvP but it has a lot of PvE bosses in each level if you like big fights over large platforming.
>>
>>6129759
I would actually kind of enjoy going to a tournament, but I'd also be embarrassed that my best skylanders are also waifu shit that betray too much of my deepest secrets.
>>
>>6132481
Its a tournament for Skylanders. Everyone older than ten that's not a supervising parent is gonna be embarrassed. Just remember to wipe off all the ___ stains first.
>>
>>6132922
i want to believe that they are working on a new pcp game or mode. i love all my bros, even though they may end up on some low tier
>>
>>6129759
Making a tier list is also kinda pointless since they change from game to game, for example roller brawl is an absolute beast in swap force but gets nerfed really hard in the later games.
But that other anon is right in that whatever is fast is the best, the key is usually to avoid getting hit, just get whatever current fast skylander there is.

Sorry about the Reddit, but this was about the only thing I could find.

It seems to imply that it's possible.
>>
>>6137691
basically you can only overwrite the generic tags with other vehicles. if you want more characters, one way is to just get the toy tags only on bricklink. I just put other minifigs on them
>>
>>6137995
Those toy tags on BrickLink are pretty cheap. Do they have the NFC tag in them? Is that site fairly reliable?

So apparently the Switch version of Imaginators functions the same as the 3DS version: switch characters at any time without need for a portal!

In a press release (i think it was posted up here somewhere) they also mentioned you can scan in your Skylanders on the Joy Cons, so there's no need for a porta.
