According to a report by Eurogamer, the toys-to-life franchise LEGO Dimensions seems to have come to an end much earlier than first planned.
Released on Wii U, as well as various other platforms, the game has seen an enormous variety of licensed figures from franchises such as The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, and Harry Potter, enabling players to not only collect and build miniature versions of their favourite fictional heroes but also see them come to life on the big screen. It launched back in October 2015 and, originally, was intended to be supported for at least three years; it would seem that a mixture of high production costs and disappointing sales means that this will no longer be the case, however.
Eurogamer's report highlights how the start of LEGO Dimensions' second year didn't go nearly as well as planned; sales didn't meet expectations, and the studio behind the game was under more pressure than before. Ambitions for the project were high - a huge amount of content had been teased and promised to the public - and this ultimately left individual packs being released with a number of bugs and glitches that left fans of the game (understandably) annoyed. Initial hopes of a huge success were slowly starting to deteriorate at every turn.
It wasn't just LEGO Dimensions that was suffering in this period, as other major toys-to-life games were experiencing similar issues; Disney Infinity was closed down entirely and Skylanders was slowly being surrounded by rumours of closure too. Despite all of this, though, the aspirations of LEGO Dimensions remained high for a period - at one stage a camera capable of scanning any small LEGO builds was in development, in theory allowing a player to build anything of a certain size and see it reproduced on the TV. Although the idea sounded promising, this product never entered the production stage.
The game still has some adoring fans, with avid collectors constantly making sure they have every last figure safely in their collection. It is a huge shame, then, that the franchise doesn't seem able to realise its initial dreams. To make things absolutely clear - no official statement has been made about the franchise ending as of yet. A recent email sent from a TT Games' manager to the studio's entire workforce seems to confirm the news, however, with an emphasis on gratitude for "making Dimensions possible".
We'll keep an eye out for any further news on the matter but, until then, why not let us know your thoughts? Will you miss the release of new packs in 2018 if support is dropped? What do you think about the future of the toys-to-life market? Feel free to sound off in the comments below.

Not surprised.
Honestly, I’m surprised Amiibo are still a thing too. I’ve still not bought one (although the Odyssey set is very tempting).
It's not a rumour from what I've heard. Now we just need SCamiibo to be fully killed off. I'd like to know how much it cost to implement it into the various Nintendo devices, something I didn't ask for or want. I think it's somewhere between €5-10.
Not as funny as Disney saying amiibo shortages were unacceptable and saying they'll produce enough to meet demand, only to produce so many they didn't sell and busted themselves
Still, I'm surprised Skylanders lasted this long. It lacks the IP and wider appeal in the characters that Disney (Could have) had, and LEGO had.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Amiibo are not a scam, it's just optional dlc that works across games. They don't even get you anything extra in some games. Odyssey let's you unlock everything in-game, for instance.
Back on point, this is hardly a shock, no one really cared for this game since you had to spend hundreds of dollars just to get everything.
lol good image
@Kalmaro Mario Party 10 has a whole mode locked behind SCamiibo.
One thing in favor with Amiibo is that they aren't as restrictive. Amiibo unlock things among many different games (mostly cosmetic) and increase in value each time a new game supports them. With these other toys-to-life, they are restricted to a single game (or iterations of the same game), sticking to the typical DLC model that doesn't see a benefit to any other game.
That’s a shame
Less competition for that spaceship game though.
I love LEGO, and have enjoyed their games, but man, Dimensions was hard to get into.
The prices were/are exorbitant, the IPs were weird, the portal had to be kept close, and worst of all: the 'update data' kept 'failing to upload'.
Pretty hard to play the game when you have to wait hours for it to update, only for it to 'error'.
@Kalmaro @SLIGEACH_EIRE not to mention a significant amount of iconic costumes and weapons are locked behind multiple Amiibo on Zelda, oh and Link's own horse
Is anyone surprised? Toys-to-life cost a ridiculous amount and parents wised up to the fact.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE where else can you get cheap, relatively high-quality figures of a wide variety of Nintendo characters? Only with amiibo.
What was the latest pack released for Dimensions? I stopped looking at it after the Sonic pack came out, not that I've ever bought anything Dimensions related.
Cost of entry is just too damn high.
Amiibo are awesome. I'll be having my Master Sword in Skyrim from the start, and in the meantime I'll still be getting my daily dose of tasty food. My Splatoon Amiibo will all be functioning when I finally pick up Splatoon 2, and the Olimar I fight in Smash Bros has unlocked that sweet outfit on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the Pikmin on it. I say all this because it goes to show that even if you think Amiibo are a scam, they do something which no other toys-to-life product does, and that's provide more value in a highly competitive market. They're not just single use. And that's pretty damn cool, because Nintendo could have made them single use. But they didn't. I like that. Plus the figures themselves are awesome!
Toys to life ain't getting anywhere, it seems.......
@carlos82 all that stuff is extra and doesn't effect gameplay. The stuff you get in game is arguably better. You're just paying extra for stuff that looks neat.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm not seeing the problem, no one was entitled to that extra mode and they didn't hide it, as far as I'm aware. How can it be a scam if it's optional and they are telling you what they are doing?
The reason why sales weren't as good as they expected in my opinion is probably because of pricing. $30 to $60 for add on packs is insane. Not a lot of people in the U.S. have that kind of money to drop on what is technically DLC.
@Mogster I've no problem with Nintendo making figures. Just keep them away from the games. Jakks Pacific and others make figurines, I don't give out about them.
Amiibos won’t go away. Too many collect them and many of us still love them. It’s too bad Nintendo has so much content hidden behind them, but, it’s their choice to market it as they see fit. They must create value for them and that’s how they are doing it.
If you view it as a scam, ignore it.
It's been a long time coming, since Disney Infinity died and Skylanders have to take a year off. Amiibo might be next, but Nintendo is in such a hot streak, it's a wild card. Great time to get Lego Dimensions on PS4 though, since it's now so cheap to get
Dimensions was really the last hold out. The whole "toys to life" gimmick really hit it's peak in about 2014 and the decline has been on ever since. Nintendo can probably keep amiibos afloat for awhile longer as glorified dlc add-ons for their popular games as well as with collectors, but you can even see the supply of those has been restricted quite a bit along with the demand going down.
I think it did well initially but the enthusiasm for add on packs died off after some time. Can't expect expensive add ons for a years old game to keep selling.
I feel like we've known this since March when they delayed all of the early 2017 waves to last all of 2017, w/ TTGo and Beetlejuice just recently releasing. It's mid-October, if anything else was coming out any time soon surely we would have heard by now.
Also, if you look at the trailers for Lego Marvel 2 all of those worlds put together for Chronopolis looks like a Lego D sequel. Lego Ninjago didn't look like much of a game to me, made by the B team maybe, but Marvel 2 looks like it has the whole company working on it.
Still wouldn't mind seeing it ported to Switch w/ a portable version like Skylanders has. The fact that they never mentioned it on Switch all year also made me feel like it was over.
@Agent721 You can't ignore them when they lock content behind them. And they can die and are dying. A lot of retailers have completely stopped selling them. Nintendo are now producing them in very limited quantities, which is driving the prices up on sites like Ebay.
Meh the game got rather boring (it's still just normal Lego game, just with more IPS and not so big worlds)
I still think the only Lego game that got my interest was Lego City Undercover, due to having something that isn't in other lego games. It has a big open world and doesn't relay on Big licenses.
I want something different TT.
I always thought a scam was something you weren't aware was happening to you until it was too late and without your being aware of it. I am totally aware of what Amiibo are and what they do and I have the option of not ever using one. So how it can be called a scam is beyond my comprehension.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yes, you can.
I mean the game was fine...but it was just a lego game, it honestly did nothing to stand out fron other lego games. And it was more busy work screwing with the figures.
Is Skylanders still hanging in there?
@Kalmaro The game shipped with the mode on the disc but was inaccessible with SCamiibo. And you needed each SCamiibo for each corresponding board. I think there's 7 in total.
1/3 of the game locked behind a scummy SCamiibo paywall.
Wow that bubble popped quickly... glad amiibo isnt tied to a game.
@thesilverbrick Activision did state Skylanders is taking a one year hiatus, just like Assassins Creed. So it's not entirely gone
I'm sure there are kids that think that scanning a toy in to a game and it brings new stuff to life is amazing. We shouldn't be spoiling their child hoods by being adult babies.
@Ryu_Niiyama To be fair it doesn't help when you blow your bubble into a needle factory.
I think they just spread themselves way too thin here. Toys-to-Life in general just got saturated to death. They should've just rolled out a few properties for each "season" and given them more depth. Not even the most avid collectors can sustain a thrill for this many franchises, but each TTL property thought only of short-term profits and now the well is dry.
It was a cool idea while it lasted though, and I'm sure we'll see a revival someday.
One can only hope Ubisoft sees the writing on the wall and makes figurines completely optional for Starlink. Seems like that's already the case, but you never know.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Mario Party. Seriously?
Oh and who can forget about this abomination?
You need to watch it, it covers some of the issues of SCamiibo.
Soon as no switch version was announced you knew this was done.
Can't wait for Lego Marvel Superheros 2!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I think the people without amiibo were better off in the case of Mario Party 10, most people seemed to think that mode was pretty lackluster, anyway.
Ubisoft feeling nervous?
I don't mind this. I like Amiibo's but mostly because they have use for more games than just one. Plus, they look great too.
But I never had any interest in Skylanders, Dimensions and Disney Infinity, even though all the games look great.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Except that one actually includes everything you need to play in-box.
Yes you can play with just one amiibo, everyone else will control a generic villager, so go and have an amiibo festival.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I don't think people really cared too much on that mode on what already is a milding Mario Party installment
@ParasolStars I definitely agree with you on that. 2014 was a huge boom year for toys to life and then fell off immediately after that. Similar to Guitar hero/Rockband people got tired of having to buy the same expensive product every year. It's even worse with toys to life because they would often times have new toys you had to buy too
@Meowpheel I remember that Amiibo Festival had two amiibos included on purchase. Thank goodness they've been bought separately so you don't have a horrid party game included
@Malcrash Yeah, two amiibos is more than enough. And three cards too, for the minigames.
I find it funny how nintendo decided to add the one and only mode worth playing to New Leaf. It's like... Now there's really no reason to own Amiibo Festival. I guess it can count as salvaging it from a shipwreck.
And that's one of the things I love about amiibos, it works for a variety of games in a minor way and is not mandatory with 2 (or 3) exceptions. As long as future games support them, I'll get my money's worth. Some way more than others (Link vs. Bayonetta)
Due to being drained with Skylanders, I never got the chance to play Lego dimension but I always admired how they did their game different from the other toys to life. Maybe one day I'll catch it on sale on the Wii U
Not surprised really. I'm better off buying a main lego game which comes with tons of content and no figures to find space for.
If I really enjoy a lego game I'll buy the season pass, but if I'm aiming for 100% I'll be burned out for a while anyway.
@Kimyonaakuma In my experience, regular lego games tend to be very easy to 100%, at least once you unlock the multipliers.
@Kalmaro yes but you're paying a lot to get them all as they are spread far and wide over the amiibo range, what's even worse is that the BOTW amiibo don't actually give you anything. I'm not denying they're not necessary to the game but when Mario Odyssey is going to let you unlock the extra stuff anyway it leaves a bad taste, even season pass owners don't get them!
By and large I don't mind the concept and actually own a few but how they are implemented in Zelda is ridiculous and surely nobody can defend Epona being locked away behind them.
@Meowpheel They're easy but the repetition usually means that I've had enough of the game before 100%. Even though I'm not the best at the race missions, especially the flying ones.
And those multipliers just get ridiculous! Who needs a x3840 multiplier!?
@carlos82 I can defend Epona being locked away, because it had no actual affect on the game for me. There are much better horses than Epona. The only thing you get is the satisfaction of dragging Epona in another Zelda game.
I just don't see what all of the fuss is about, we get figures that work across multiple games, that's like building dlc that works for years,but only has to be purchased once... And it's physical.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Don't You Ever Say Amiibo Is a SCAM !!!
HOW DARE YOU ?!
I Have Some Amiibos, Bought By My Own Money For Specific Games That Need Certain Amiibos !
Saying Amiibos = SCAM , That Means You Have INSULTED Both Nintendo and Other Gamers !!
Dude, Take OFF Your Wii U Label, Dishonor Yourself, You Don't Deserve To Be Called Nintendo Fan !!
@Kimyonaakuma Haha! I kinda wish other games had ridiculous currency multipliers.
@Anti-Matter calm down.
@Dev
ARMS Amiibos in the future ?
Oooh.... I wanna get Springman and Max Brass Amiibo.
@Kalmaro well we'll just have to disagree on this issue, what you have to realise is that there are many gamers coming to the Switch who didn't have a Wii U and so won't have a collection of figures. Add to that many people who can't afford or simply don't want them but will have content locked in their games that they cannot access. It wouldn't be so bad if we could buy these costumes as dlc( or if it was even consistent, Mario can unlock his), then I can pick and choose what I want to buy and you can still get the benefit of having already bought the Amiibo so get the content included.
@Meowpheel It completely breaks the game but it makes finishing the game pretty funny.
I remember playing the first Lego batman game on my DS when I was younger, using all of the multipliers just made the game stop working, I've moved into console versions since then
@Anti-Matter It's just his opinion. It's no big deal, after all it's only a piece of plastic
@Kimyonaakuma
Yeah, I know.
My two Amiibos : Tom Nook & Timmy + Tommy are still displayed tidily inside my Shelf, rarely used.
But the way of Sligeach Eire expressed about Amiibo was just like a Hatred toward them directly.
Wonder if he actually play any Nintendo games...
Always wanted to get into Lego Dimensions but after I got burned on Disney Infinity I decided to avoid toys-to-life games moving forward.
Marked down packs here we come! I'll certainly pick up the Doctor Who one and Starter Set should they got down to "oh my god, how are we ever going to get rid of all these?!?" Disney Infinity levels of discounting....
This was a really cool game. I enjoyed seeing so many different fictional characters and worlds across different media crossing paths when they normally never would. Heck, they even were able to get the original voice actors for most of the characters!
Maybe it would have worked better as a standard Lego game rather than a toys-to-life one, but I'll always love the concept. If there's a sequel one day (that isn't free to play), I hope that they'll be able to incorporate Star Wars, since that was the franchise that really kicked off the Lego video game series.
@carlos82 It's true that people may have missed the WiiU games so they may not have picked up a, say, Link figurine in the past. However, we're still talking about ≈$8 or so to get a cheap link amiibo that works on multiple games and future titles as well to get contalent that is purely cosmetic. I just dot see the problem. I wish I could though, I want to understand the animosity towards amiibo.
@justin233 With Amiibos you can use it across multiple titles. That doesn't apply to the other Toys to life products.
@Anti-Matter You might as well ignore him. His opinions don't really match what people here generally think so he causes mini arguements in the comments.
He probably just said that about amiibo to get a reaction, which I guess kind of worked He just doesn't seem like a supporter of amiibo and anything after the Wii U, it's not our problem that he's missing out though!
On a more positive note, the Timmy and Tommy amiibo is so cute! I have one on my shelf too
@Anti-Matter calm down. Go grab a cuppa tea
@Kalmaro
I'm with ya, I've really enjoyed collecting the amiibos. Where else am I going to find a figure of Duck Hunt??
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm just surprised it took him that long to reply. Classic
@Kalmaro yes some are easy to get and cheaply but others aren't, the Majoras Mask/Ocarina/Skyward Sword are about £50 each unless you search hard to get them maybe a little cheaper. Many of the newer ones are like this in limited supply.
I don't hate Amiibo, I actually own a few and have the wedding Mario ones preordered, just how they are occasionally implemented and that there is no alternative for those that need one
TBH honest I am not surprised. The biggest mistake many companies do is flood the market with loads of variants of the toys at fast rates and thus the hype for them fizzles out. Even amiibo did this at first however now it seems Nintendo has wised up a bit. The releases have been a little more stepped in recent months.
On the subject of amiibo, I have nothing against the figures themselves; they are actually quite nice and if you can get them at their RRP (~£11) they are worth it. What I have some issue with is how they are implemented and how Nintendo forces you to get them if you want to unlock certain content. They need to start offering alternative ways to unlock them for those that don't want the figures.
@carlos82 THAT I can understand. Some are very very hard to get a hold of, unless you feel like dropping $$$.
@Kalmaro haha we found some common ground, what was this thread about again? 😃😃😃
@carlos82 I no longer remember, and I am too hungry to care!
@Anti-Matter Whilst @SLIGEACH_EIRE is expressing his views in his customary forthright manner, try not to see it as a slight on you or others who buy amiibo. Personally, I think they are a complete rip off and a waste of our planet's precious resources but I don't mind other people enjoying them. Possibly, SLIGEACH_EIRE has similar views but does it really matter if he doesn't? I find the entire locked content thing sickening. It is the single reason why I won't buy the new Metroid game.
@dAvecaster I played Samus Returns without any amiibo and I fully enjoyed it. I honestly didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. There's really no reason to not enjoy a game you'd like. You're really only hurting yourself.
I honestly don't think the Lego Dimensions were that overpriced compared to Disney Infinity and Skylanders. For both DI and Skylanders you get a motionless figure that only interacts inside a game. With Lego Dimension, you get both interaction inside a game plus you get actual Lego blocks & figures that you can play with even after you quit playing the game. My oldest son was the only one in my family that got into the series. He hasn't bought any since last Christmas; and the ones he picked up last year he never even used them in-game. He purchased them because of the lego pieces.
I think the Green Arrow and Supergirl situation hurt them big-time, as did the save-destroying Ghostbusters Story Pack glitch. I definitely slowed down playing and buying because of those issues.
@WillTheLion
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have no doubt that it is a great game. Also I appreciate what you are saying about it being a fine game without any amiibo. However, if you are a completist, it must be pretty frustrating to know that 4 amiibo are needed to unlock everything. I know that I'm just too old and yes, I long for the days when what players bought was a complete game and skill (or cheat codes!) unlocked the hidden content. But why should anyone pay for plastic figures to complete a game?
Still own this game but haven't touched it since year one after all my stuff broke and got lost. Had a lot on it, all the worlds unlocked and stuff. I'm not mad about this or even surprised and it's good there's leaks ahead of time (unless it's really not ending, but pretty sure it is). Kind of bad they promised it would be 4 years and it's being broken, could potentially get into legal stuff because people might of bought for that reason.
Still not as bad as Disney Infinity where I had everything then a day came saying "lol it's all over peace out"
Well I buy amino just because they look awesome! They are cheap and still look really good. The extra stuff for it is just bonus haha.
But it would be cool to have that slc from amino as slc you can just download ... but it's not that hard to create fake amino clones online (but that is not a good plan)
@Kalmaro What about Breath of the Wild? We could've had Additional Trials based on the Links of the Past, to WORK for the Armor sets, instead of tapping the amiibo figures. And what about the amiibo figures we'd tap for materials? They would've had to integrate Daily Bonuses, and Loot-box-based Microtransactions!
@justin233 as far as I remember, Nintendo mentioned in one of their briefs that Amiibo sold very well but only to fanboys (who have them like shrines -_- in their box and all....) and are not used by other gamers like children for example. They sounded very disappointed about it.
@dAvecaster Totally agreed. TTL is just another fad destined for the junkyard, and many people are in denial about it. What's really important is what lasts the test of time- good game design doesn't need extraneous widgets and gizmos. If anything, design philosophies weighed down by concepts like TTL are inherently weaker than those which are fully self-contained.

I'm honestly surprised Skylanders has been able to survive for so long. It's been around since 2011 if I remember correctly, and still seems to get yearly installments.
I don't care about Skylanders, Disney or Lego toy's to life.
But I do like my Amiibo's, I like having Nintendo figures that can work between many games and not just one game like Disney Infinity.
@YoshiAngemon You're right, we could have had even more than what they gave us. However, then you have to ask if we deserved any more e training work for free. What we did get that does not need amiibo was pretty substantial and I believe most people who have played BotW will gladly admit that they did not need the locked content to feel like they had a dull experience.
Due to how they handled this year (avoiding the elephant in the room at E3, delaying some packs), I'd say it was pretty clear they were wrapping it up this year. It's kind of a shame too. Although quite buggy, it's the best LEGO game I've played in years. Heck, even if they were to do a release on Switch that would follow traditional rules (unlocking the characters yourself) I'd probably snap it up real quick.
Release the packa as digital dlc and ill buy it. Not doing anymore toys to life crap. I wouldve supported every single pack too. Now?.....nada
This could be a good time to pick up a few packs. Last Black Friday I got the Xbox 1 Starter pack for $30 and never opened it. My son is 3 and I'd like to think that is something he and I could build and play together in the future. I'm going to try and snag a few smaller packs to have a decent library by the time it finishes production. I did the same thing with Infinity and I'm happy to have them.
Toys to life is dead, long live amiibo
Expensive toys-to-life attempt.
A standard LEGO set is already expensive enough for most parents. People won't spend $15-20 on an expansion pack with one or two minifigures when you can get better LEGO stuff with the same amount of money.
quick question... that skylanders racing game for Wii U.. i see it on sale for super cheap at gamestops... i don't own any figurines, nor plan to ever buy any, but are there a few tracks on that game you can play without any of the toys? Even if it's just a few tracks I'm up to pick it up... reminds me a little bit of sega and sonic racing transformed which is one of my favorite games (although i can't unlock half the characters )
Could have been worse, the game could have had loot crates...now there is a real scam.
I have yet to experience a "loot crate" and I hope I never do. I only just read about this this week. I guess i'm sorta behind the times... is it as big of a plague as people are saying?
The toy-to-life genre was bloated and for a while it seemed liked everyone was jumping on the band wagon. Cool idea, but timing. This is a very niche genre and only one, maybe two can last at a time.
I was actually really excited for Dimensions but man, those costs really put me off buying them and considering the amount of them, that's not too surprising.
Though funny enough, I really enjoy collecting amiibo but that's because they're affordable, I like the characters and they're multi-use across different games. That said, I can't defend amiibo festival. That game is just poorly designed and should have been a budget title, not 90 bucks at launch. Awful game but amiibo I can use in other games.
I didn't start collecting until sales. The prices were just too much in the beginning. I have a bunch now, some of the added stuff with the characters is dumb. But I just keep the characters on a shelf, put the other stuff in a drawer.
It was a fad and just like every fad the toy to life fad is over. Nothing more nothing less.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I see them everywhere in the US still. It might be different in Ireland, where Nintendo is not as popular. To each is own, I enjoy them greatly.
Scam or not, Bridal Peach made this 31-year-old man’s heart melt. I need it!
As I told my friend when we got this news, “When I said I wanted LEGO Dimensions to drastically cut its price, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.”
I wanted to buy this, but finding the portal second hand is impossible. Buying the game new at $80 just doesn't justify itself. I picked up the 2 Back to the Future packs with the intention of using them at some point if I ever got the game, but I guess they will stay as boxed wall hangers. Honestly those were the only reason I wanted to play Dimensions, but a 3 hour game, Back to the Future related or not, is hardly worth the price of admission.
I wish these Toys to Life games would work in tandem with the existing NFC readers on Nintendo's consoles because being interested only gets me so far when I realize I HAVE to purchase new at inflated prices just because nobody trades in the portals for some dumb reason.
@Fuz I too am enjoying playing it. I have a list of expansion packs on my list and these are part of my huge Wii U backlog. My biggest frustration has been having to use the portal for everything including all the puzzles. Really hate that. Wish they would do it just like is done in Lego City. Now, I just recently finished the main story line and am about to do the adventure worlds, so hoping the portal is not as integral other than to swap characters.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=tNJ3fHJN2R0 you share above to be open minded about your thoughts about why you feel amiibo are a scam but there is nothing about this video that says amiibo are a scam the guy even says he absolutely loves amiibo it was the game he hated. Just reread the title and see. The game requires amiibo to play but guess what? I see this game for 20 bucks everywhere and for that price it comes with 2 amiibo already, plus amiibo cards to play the game with so how is that a scam for being so reasonably priced? I bought Amiibo Festival on sale when I saw it and have never felt scammed. Yes it is necessary to buy more Animal Crossing amiibo to experience more characters in the game, so I have purchased only ones I wanted to play as. Despite buying figures to expand the play value a little Animal Crossing Amiibos are several bucks cheaper than the retail price of a typical amiibo 7-8 dollars rather than 12 and these Animal crossing Amiibo can be used in multiple games in and outside the Animal Crossing franchise that I have experienced. Have you experienced or considered any value or benefit of amiibo or a game that contains an amiibo function or is it just your decided opinion they are a scam? Every one has a right to an opinion but opinions with any value or weight to them are based on experience, open-mindedness and consideration of both pros and cons otherwise they are rendered bias statements with no weight to support them. So is your claim of amiibos being a scam a personal experienced opinion you can back up and would like to share? or an absolute personal decided opinion?
@crackafreeze Collecting the entire Lego Dimesions sets is far cheaper than trying to even collect half or a 3rd of all other Lego sets that have come out since Lego Dimensions. I feel bad for completists that experience that undying urge to collect them all. They miss out on the concept of having a choice in what to buy. Lego Dimensions has a feature where if there is a puzzle or task you want to complete but don't have a character needed for that function you can call a demo version of one character to use to complete the task/challenge using Lego studs you collect in the game. Just interested in the game it came with you can enjoy a full game with tons of content with what it came with alone, the rest is extra that gives you options not requirements.
If that means i can get a chaep Portal pack i will be happy. Always wanted that minifig.
@Fuz Thank you. Yeah, I get annoyed having to move the figures around the base to solve the problems. I get what the developers were going for in trying to have physically interactive toys, but I would enjoy the game a lot more if I wasn't constantly reaching for the base to move characters around. I'm still okay with the game, and looking forward to playing the expansion sets.
