MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.
HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though
)
I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).
I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.
I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

Damn guess the news of Disney infinity getting canned is true i take it that means we won't see any new figures released as well.
Sad news indeed
They will release the Alice Through the Looking Glass characters, followed by the Finding Dory characters, and then that is it.I guess I can finish my collection now, but I'm really gutted by this !disappoint

This is kinda suck... I was actually looking into getting it!
They have a great database of characters
I'm guessing the figures will now become collectors items? Better buy up all stock!
Get into it, the figures are awesome display items. The older ones are out of production so they may go for silly prices on eBay, but so many were made you will eventually be able to pick up second hand ones cheap.
To avoid being overwhelmed, pick a series and stick to it. I picked Marvel and SW and there are a lot of figures in those two sets.
BTW it looks like Lego Dimensions is not going to be released locally so with Infinity cancelled, the only choice for people now is Skylanders, which hasn't had new figures for some time IIRC, and Amibo's.

Kotaku has a scoop on what 4.0 could've been. Sorry linking via another website where I actually read it, but giving credit to original source.

So Disney were actually clever…cancel while atop of the wave
http://icv2.com/articles/news/view/34505/why-did-disney-shut-down-disney-infinity
Disney’s shocking announcement with last week’s earnings report that it was shutting down Disney Infinity (see “Disney Shutting Down ‘Disney Infinity,’ Takes $147 Million Charge”), its Collectible Miniatures Game/video game hybrid (toys-to-life, in industry parlance) was hard to understand, given the high sales reported for the line and the popularity of the underlying characters. But statements by Disney CEO Robert Iger in the conference call following the release of the report, and info on the overall market for the category, may show what happened.
The inventory build-up that led to most of the $147 million write-down was fairly recent, according to Iger, and was tied to the release of Disney Infinity 3.0 last year. “[W]e did quite well with the first iteration of it,” Iger said in the conference call (transcript via Seeking Alpha). “And we did ok with the second iteration, but that business is a changing business, and we did not have enough confidence in the business in terms of it being stable enough to stay in it from a self-publishing perspective.”
The first iteration Iger speaks of was the launch configuration in 2013, which included characters from Disney and Pixar movies. The second iteration was the addition of Marvel (along with new products tied to the Disney/Pixar line) in 2014. And last year, Disney added Star Wars to the mix, with an additional Force Awakens release tied to the movie premiere, along with new products tied to the Disney/Pixar and Marvel lines. It was this range of 2015 releases that apparently caused the problems.
But why? If the Disney/Pixar and Marvel lines were doing well and then you add Star Wars in the biggest year ever for the property, shouldn’t that be like printing money? Apparently not, and the problem may have been that the market is not growing as fast as the increase in the number of products.
The toys-to-life category grew 7% in the U.S. last year to $720.5 million, according to NPD figures reported by the Wall Street Journal. Sales in the category worldwide were $1.25 billion in 2015, flat vs. 2014, according to a Wedbush Securities analyst quoted in the report.
But in addition to Disney throwing a new line into the category in 2015, Warner Bros. launched Lego Dimensions, with characters from fourteen franchises (including Lord of the Rings, DC, The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, and Jurassic World) last fall, and Nintendo continues to produce its Amiibo line and Activision its Skylanders line.
So with a flat or near-flat market and rapidly increasing numbers of releases last fall, something had to give and Disney ended up with a big pile of inventory.
No tree grows to the sky, as the saying goes, and the toys-to-life category appears to have hit an upper limit. It’s still a great market, but not the kind of category in which Disney wants to operate on its own. Hence the decision to license to other companies in the category instead of producing games itself.
“[W]e just feel that it’s a changing space and that we’re just better off at managing the risk that that business delivers by licensing instead of publishing,” Iger said. “It’s just that simple.”
Disney will release final Disney Infinity products with figures from Alice Through the Looking Glass and Finding Dory.

Hey all,
I've been trying to get the Arcade trophy related to playing 10 online games in the arcade, but it seems online is rather dead.
If there's anybody who wants to play online, please let me know and we can try to schedule a time for us all to log on and search for a match. Let's try to revitalise the arcade

Need help please…I did all the Xbox live and system updates together with the Disney Infinity updates.
The problem is that when I run the Disney Infinity Battlegrounds we get a message that the language file data is corrupt and the game cant start up.
The characters works perfectly in the toy box but I can’t run the actual game.
I tried to re-install the file, however, the system tells me the files are already in place and I don’t need to install them.
Any one got any idea how to fix this….

@Sandman Delete the game and reinstall? From your post it seems as if you just tried to reinstall over a current install. Other than that I have no idea
That is also what I was thinking....will try it this weekend.
To be honest I will not recommend this new sets to anyone, just to much of a hassle to get them to work...

Just a reminder that Baloo, Black Panther, and the Light FX Kylo Ren figures all launch this Friday locally. For those who have been collecting all the characters thus far, Black Panther is the last figure needed to unlock the Keyblade.
As always all upcoming figures and recent releases are featured on our campaign page which can be found by clicking here.
