After two years spent bringing together characters from 30 different cartoon, television and movie properties in one massive virtual playground, LEGO Dimensions is officially done.

Games that interact with toys generally release around the same time as their plastic counterparts. Lightseekers figures aren't out until July 1, but you can play the mobile and card games today. Or I can, and you can watch. Either way.

After releasing new installments every year since its 2011 debut, toys-to-life pioneer Skylanders is taking the year off. Announced during Activision's 4th quarter 2016 financial results conference call, Skylanders is sticking to new toys and digital content for 2017.

While fans are still eagerly waiting for the LEGO Batman Movie and Knight Rider sets arriving next week, LEGO Dimensions gives us a peek at the Goonies, LEGO City and Harry Potter packs that will be showing up three months later.

While the competition bows out of the toys-to-life genre, Skylanders is finding new things for fans to buy. Today's worldwide launch of Skylanders Battlecast adds physical trading cards to the mix.

With yesterday's release of the three figures comprising the fifth and final wave of announced toys our first trip around the LEGO Dimensions is complete. Let's take a look at the massive cross-property army and what it cost to assemble them.

Disney Infinity was an excellent showcase for company's vast stable of beloved characters, from Pixar to Marvel Comics to Star Wars, as well as an excellent creative outlet for kids of all ages. The one thing the series never got right was gameplay, and with yesterday's cancellation it never will.

With a game by developers who have worked on Elite Beat Agents, Gears of War and toys -- real articulated action figures -- from one of Transformers' most prolific designers, Infinite Arms is exactly where I wanted the toys-to-life genre to go.

Rather than release a fourth core game in as many years, the Disney Infinity team is focusing on expanding version 3.0 in 2016, with fresh content coming from all corners of the Disney universe including Star Wars, Marvel, Zootopia and The Jungle Book.
