It was selling good as well
Disney is just greedy, they consider Age of Ultron a bomb because it only made 1.3 billion... only 1.3 billion

Amiibo are, I don't know about Skylanders. I see them rotting on shelves and it doesn't seem like anything is moving with them.


I mean, i have been working selling this shit since the first Skylander game. The days of demand for guys like Whamshell, Camo, Ninjini or Khaos traps are gone and I don't know if they are going to be coming back or have the next Skylander game get it back to those levels.

If Activision couldn't take the extra stock of Skylanders not being sold they would have cancelled the series a while ago.

"Amiibo" Is the most fucking stupidest name for a brand of toys.

Why not just call them "Amiis"? Ami is already a word for "Friend" in French and other Romance languages. It's the perfect word.

You don't need to put "Bo" on it. Only retards from the South use "Bo" in anything, really.

Thank God Amiibos are dead which means that the Super Best Friends will no longer waste 2/3ds of their podcast on Nintencuck shit.

Did you expect them to go on forever? It's surprising that Disney Infinity shut down so suddenly and definitively while it looked to be still so profitable, but it was obvious that it was going to happen sooner or later.

I finally broke and installed an adblocker when one website decided it would be a good idea to plaster my computer with nine (9) flash ads with sound. Took me about a minute just to scroll to the bottom of the page. And my rig is nothing to sneeze at, either.

I keep my plugin disabled on 4chan, though, since the ads are actually quite unintrusive.

This one hurts.

Especially since Johnny V wanted it so fucking badly.

I sold all my Infinite shit after TFA playset was terrible, mainly because all the music was remixed garbage instead of a actual Star Wars music.

Don't forget Kim Possible and the Gravity Falls crew, especially since the Gravity Falls crew were actually teased.

You can tell something Kingdom Hearts related was in the pipeworks as well since they made the King Mickey power disk(Even if it was limited to that one event) and the Keyblade was the super unlock of 3.0.

>>337236539
TFA playset was pretty bad in general, the best part of the entire thing is Jakku and the battle with Kylo is just awful in comparison to even Grievous' first fight. It's also super short, you could 100% it in a third of the time it took you to beat pretty much anything else.

That still doesn't prevent the Spanish word for friend, Amigo, from existing. You're basically whining that Nintendo shouldn't take inspiration from other cultures outside of your faguette language.

>>337232856
Holy shit can you imagine the investment on this some people might have had
I mean to buy the game, some of those little disc things, and maybe like a dozen figurines, that's already over one hundred fucking dollars.

That starter pack was what, 45 dollars and that didn't even include the game?
>>
>>337237834
Naturally they gave Mickey two figures though, three if you count the crystal one as well.

>>337237887
It's got those kind of jokes scattered about, yes. It's a great fun show, I just finished watching it myself like a week or two back and would certainly recommend it.

>>337238017
Starter pack is $60, comes with the game, the portal, and a play set. 2.0 came with one extra figure in its starter pack as well.
>>
>>337238090
So it's 60 dollars for the starter pack

Then of course you have to get a couple of your favorite characters, I don't know how much those are for most people but they're 12.00 at my local shops.

But then you have to buy the level editor discs, right?

And they added Star Wars and Marvel and if you play the game of course you have to get some of those.

That's assuming you didn't buy 1.0 and 2.0.

Jesus.
