Being a fan of Disney Infinity, I can believe this is the end. I remember an article was published once saying how well Infinity was doing and how it was the top Toys-to-Life game. About a month after that, it was cancelled. 

Yes, because LEGO Dimensions was released. Disney figures can't compete with LEGO.

The Deathly Hallows symbol is a nice touch.

Well, from what I've heard, it was because of overproduction, not so much that they didn't sell well. They made way more figures than were being bought, so Disney just shut the whole project down.

Yep, The problem with Avalanche was that they weren't a toy company and knew very little about supply and demand. It's not that they were failing (They were the best selling toys to life game of 2015).

Also DalekBuster, While I don't believe what Just2good said was true (I tend to not believe people who don't back up what they say), I do agree with the others that you're taking this way too seriously. Everyone should take what he said with a huge grain of salt.

You don't believe just2good because he didn't back up his claim? His claim is Year 3 might not happen because of lacklustre sales. He isn't going to give you the name of his source (if there is one). All he has said is that he doesn't think that there will be a Dimensions Year 3 and that there will be no Ninjago Movie Packs. 

With people who have and know information they don't need to back up what they're saying.... Because it's true. 

Oh also some footage:

So you're just gonna blindly say someone is right just because they say they have information that could (for all we know) be false or non-existent. Also point me to where Just2good said might not happen. Because from the way it sounded, it was a will not happen.

I definitely will trust just2good and other people who have information. Do I want what he's saying to be true, of course not. Believe what you want, but saying that they aren't credible because they won't give you a source is ridiculous. And even if he did give you a source why would it matter to you? Do you know who that source is? 

If just2good, Deltacustoms, or #BringBackCM4sci  or anyone else that is credible says that something is happening. Most likely it'll happen.

It just wouldn't make sense, would it? I'd like Harry, Ron and Hermione on the screen at the same time with character interactions with one another through archive dialogue.

nah it would be silly.. possibly one of the biggest movie trio and to leave one out... hmm lol

I do hope that the end is near for dimensions isnt true as i love the themes that come out and the possibilities of future releases.

Have they just used the same Battle Arena for Hermione as the Team Pack? How lazy. They could have at least made it the Quidditch pitch in broad daylight.

The problem is that Just2Good isn't just some random guy. If some random user came and said that Dimensions was ending with no proof, I'd be skeptical too. But this is Just2Good, who has leaked info time and time again and been proven correct - I'd trust anything he says.

He also has the ability to be wrong, like all of us. I have nothing against Just2Good but he isn't an all-seeing, all-knowing God. He's not Heimdall from Thor.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hermione's battle arena wasn't ready when recording the footage, so they just used the one from the team pack as a placeholder. I sincerely doubt they're gonna reuse the exact same arena twice for different packs.

I hope so. It would make it lesser value for money otherwise.

@LEGODalekbuster523 You are missing the point. Just2Good is a medium, through which an insider voices the information that he has. It is highly unlikely that said insider provides wrong information, because it is a person involved in the very development of sets.

What's more: let's say that person says there will be a set 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for a wave. The only way that this does not happen, is if there are one or more sets of this list not going into production, due to a marketing decision on a superior business level. In other words, what we end up getting vs what we were promised can theoretically only get worse (granted we started with the full list from the beginning).

[Robert8]

Whoa

Year 3 won't happen?

I didn't know the sales were so bad

What about Beetlejuice and Powerpuff Girls?

They are still releasing those, right?

He said elsewhere we'd be getting a Pirates of the Caribbean ship and that hasn't happened. So he isn't all ways right.

[strangely]

Unless I missed a post, he hasn't said anything definite, merely that he didn't think there would be a year 3. Unless he wishes to say something more definite I see no reason to get upset about it. If he had solid information than I would think he would post something less vague. He might simply be looking at the signs and warning us not to get our hopes up as it isn't looking good.

You might want to go check out the Pirates of the Caribbean thread.

Just looked. Guess its still a possibility. I thought it was shown to be false like the LEGO Sports sets! Sorry.

Look - I get that you're unhappy at the possibility of Dimensions ending. Frankly, I'm really disappointed too - I've collected all the packs and really enjoy the gameplay and many licenses it brings in. However, just because I want something to be false doesn't make it false. Just2Good has been correct pretty much 9.9 times out of 10, and while there's a small chance he's wrong, I'm not counting on it. Sure, he's a person who can make mistakes. But if his track record shows that all of his leaked info have been correct in the past, to the point that reputable news sites report rumors he starts, I have no reason to blatantly disbelieve him just because I personally don't want what he is saying to be true. But this is veering into off-topic territory, so I recommend to just let it go and see how everything plays out in the coming months. It's useless arguing about the veracity of Just2Good's claim, especially if it's really hard to convince you otherwise. 

[The EthStu]

But still (this is my stance on all rumors) until it's official, let's take it with a grain of salt.

Guess it's a possibility.... There is a blurred out picture of the box for March's calendar and we can make out the logo...

We've just been given a perfect example of why we can trust, also just look at the Brickheadz. Just everyone be patient, but don't start undercutting people's integrity and credit.

Just2Good may have a good track record, but my point there was that calling him (or anyone) a 'medium' is one. Just2Good is not merely a 'medium' or any other kind of gender-neutral, emotionless noun. He is a human being like the rest of us, so talking about him otherwise is verging on the brink of possibly offending the poor guy. I can't talk on behalf of him, I have no idea if he is offended or not, but I feel that we need to take the possibility that he might be offended by being called a 'medium' into consideration. I know I certainly would find it insulting.

Perhaps the word "medium" was a poor choice and could offend some people, but I think you're missing the point again here  - The word medium has little to do with the argument at hand.  @Exetrius was saying that while Just2Good as a person can make mistakes, his source is unlikely to due to a good track record. So when he leaks info, he actually is acting as a medium by relaying facts - facts from a source that has been very trustworthy in the past. Your previous argument stated that you don't want to trust him because he is az person who can make mistakes. Now, you're arguing that the word medium is offensive. I'm not here to dispute that, but I'm responding to your original argument regarding the issue of trusting him.
