the cost of Disney Infinity in Mexico

Postby Mr. Mike Skelleton » Thu Aug 15, 2013 5:28 am

Sorry for not using my account in so much time, but I just couldn´t, sorry for that!

Well, I´ve just came back to the forums and, unfortunately It is for complaining:

Very probably, I´m the only Mexican person in the forums, but maybe people from other countries have the same problem.
While in the USA the Starter pack will cost $75, in Mexico it will cost $1,800 pesos, that is approximately $140 DOLLARS! And don´t wanna imagine the cost of figures, 3-packs, playsets, and Power Disc Packs!! Something similar happened with Skylanders, but not so extreme. At my local Blockbuster, they don´t know the price of ANYTHING!!
Another problem is the availability, because at the same Blockbuster they ONLY have 6 DIFFERENT Skylanders!! PLease tell us why do you think videogames become SO expensive outside the USA, and if the same happens in your country. In the end I had to buy almost the complete Wave 1 in Amazon, and some uncles will bring all the stuff to me, so I won´t have the opportunity to unbox nothing appart from the Starter Pack! :(

Mexico simply has higher distribution costs, lower economies of scale and much higher importer duties/tariffs/taxes.

Oh, that sucks, I'm so sorry. :( There's a mark-up in Europe, but it's not that extreme. Is it possible this is the maximum recommended retail price for the preorders, and once it's released you may start seeing better deals?
