@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.
As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).
Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.
I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.
I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.
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.
Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.
That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.
What is Disney Infinity?
Disney Infinity is an action-adventure 'sandbox' video game which uses collectible figurines that are then synchronized with the game (via the Infinity Base), allowing for characters from Disney properties to interact in story based adventures or open world creation.
Official Announcement Trailer:
There are two main modes in the game; Play Sets and the Toy Box. Each Play Set is essentially a self-contained world with its own gameplay, based on a specific film or series with recognizable characters and storylines. Characters from one world cannot enter into another world, but players can put any characters together in Toy Box mode. The Toy Box is a sandbox mode that players can fully customize and explore using unlocked elements from different Play Sets or Power Discs. Power Discs provide different functions within the game; circular discs provide boosts to your characters, while hexagonal discs feature texture packs or new toys for your Toy Box.
Available Play Sets include Cars, Toy Story in Space, The Lone Ranger and the Starter Pack (which includes Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles and Monsters University).
You can download your Disney Infinity checklist by clicking here.
2.0 Edition:
The size of Toy Box worlds and Play Sets have been in increased, notably due to the inclusion of certain characters being able to fly and hover. The level cap of playable characters has been expanded from 15 to 20, and players will now be able to use a "Skill Tree" to upgrade a character's abilities. In an attempt to make Toy Box building easier, the game will feature improved and enhanced editor tools (including in-game "brushes", that will automatically create scenery for players, including cities, dungeons and race tracks.) Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes will also feature automated builders, that can be dropped into the Toy Box and generate worlds for players. Interior areas, a feature absent from the first game, have also been added. New Power Discs called "Team-Ups" have been introduced, which will make other characters pop up in-game to fight alongside the player. Certain Power Discs will also unlock new costumes for characters.

Things to Know:
Play Sets have multiplayer support but can only be played with figures from that universe. The Toy Box supports multiplayer for any character from any universe.
Power Discs can be stacked, and the circle variants often allow for a bonus perk if specific discs are used in conjunction.
AWX offers a trade-in service for power discs however, as with video-games, certain conditions apply. A listing of available discs can be found by clicking here.
There are Crystal editions of specific characters. These have added bonuses and have their own place in the 'Hall of Heroes'.
So this thread has been created to discuss upcoming figures, tips you may have for other players, or just general discussion related to this great game. There have already been threads created regarding the Star Wars rumors and the inclusion of the Marvel universe, those threads have been closed and all discussions can be posted in this topic.
Two new characters are coming to Disney Infinity Toy Box 2.0 - Princess Merida from Disney / Pixar's Brave and the evil Maleficent from this Spring's new movie of the same name. Each Disney Infinity figure is sold separately and has unique abilities only playable in the 2.0 edition of Disney Infinity.
Disney Interactive today announced that Stitch and Tinker Bell will join Merida and Maleficent as new Disney themed playable characters in the Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition Toy Box to be released later this year.
Great to see both TRON Legacy goodness (the Light Cycle) as well as Gravity Falls stuff featured in the above trailer, hopefully both will receive some more content in Disney Infinity 2.0! I personally would love to see TRON Uprising figures and content.
Our pre-order campaign is up-and-running for Disney Infinity 2.0, and as we receive confirmation of release dates and pricing, more products will be added. You can view it by clicking here.
@ Sandman - The release date on many of the items are TBC 2014 but we will advise as soon as we get confirmation
Thanks...I cannot wait anymore.
Do you know if the figure bases will be the same size as the current figures?
I am making a display cabinet for the current figures and want to make one for the Marvel Heroes also.
Disney have revealed a Collector's Edition of Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes Starter Set which will be exclusive to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

As the Character Packs are not console specific they will be fully compatible with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Disney Infinity 2.0, it is only the Play Sets pieces that will not be compatible with Disney Infinity 2.0 (on any platform) as the data for those worlds is apart of the original Disney Infinity.
