LEGO Dimensions

[woodjer]

Apologies if there is already a thread somewhere but my search didn't show anything.

Anyway, just grabbed the PS4 starter pack for LEGO Dimensions for half-price through Amazon. Anyone else play this? We have a bunch of Infinity stuff (so another Toys-to-Life thing might not have been so wise...) but have heard that it's not all that similar. I like the idea of playing characters from different worlds and in different environments so thought I'd give it a whirl.

Re: LEGO Dimensions

Some Lego Series 2 sets confirmed here: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-dime...acks-revealed/














So that Ghostbusters Story Pack, I guess that's a new structure to build around the game pad?

Pumped for the A-Team, Mission Impossible, and Harry Potter sets. I have no idea what Adventure Time is.

I've seen a screenshot of the Wicked Witch carrying Gizmo from Gremlins, so I hope that set is coming soon!

Re: LEGO Dimensions

Sonic is also coming. They stole those images from me LOL They liked all my tweets last night hahaha.

Adventure Time is a weird show, my kids love it though, when I showed them the box art they were super excited. Power Puff Girls and Teen Titans Go are also coming.

Press release

Expansion Pack Assortment Will Add 16 Fan-Favourite Universes for More Mind-Blowing Mash-ups!
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO® Group today announced the expansion of LEGO® DIMENSIONS™, the LEGO® toy and videogame hybrid, with more blockbuster franchises and even bigger gameplay possibilities. New expansion packs broaden the complete selection to 30 of the world’s most popular entertainment brands allowing players to customise their experience by mixing and matching favourite characters and universes with full compatibility. Game features adding to the fun are all-new, four-player competitive Battle Arenas, a first for LEGO® videogames, as well as Story Packs, which provide deep, story-driven gameplay around the biggest theatrical releases and include a fresh LEGO® brick building experience.
LEGO® Dimensions™ packs based on 16 new entertainment properties will begin launching on September 30, 2016 with the Ghostbusters Story Pack, Adventure Time and Mission: Impossible Level Packs, Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun Pack. Additional expansion packs based on other highly anticipated films Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The LEGO® Batman Movie and wildly popular properties The Goonies, Sonic The Hedgehog, Teen Titans Go!, LEGO® City Undercover, Knight Rider, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins, Beetlejuice and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be released in product waves stretching into summer of next year. All expansion packs provide players with continued compatibility to use everything from waves 1-9 interchangeably, anywhere throughout the game. And no new starter pack is required, as all new packs will simply enhance the LEGO® Dimensions™ Starter Pack game and work with the existing LEGO® Toy Pad.
“We’ve built upon the existing LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ Starter Pack to expand the gameplay possibilities with entirely new LEGO® experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “We can now provide players with even more customization and mash-up opportunities, and all are compatible with the existing game and packs. Battle Arenas also introduce a fun new way for friends and family to join the action together and battle as favorite characters, which is an exciting innovation for LEGO® videogames.”
“LEGO® DIMENSION™S is a significant part of our LEGO® videogames portfolio, and we are excited to offer fans many more iconic entertainment franchises combined with new, enhanced ways to play,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “TT Games continues to innovate and expand the game experience, which gives players breakthrough digital and physical gameplay with an amazing amount of world-class entertainment properties connected together.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with TT Games and WBIE and bring even more characters to life through LEGO® DIMENSIONS™,” said Niels Jørgensen, Vice President, Digital Games for the LEGO® Group. “The videogame has allowed our fans to extend their LEGO® play experience in a whole new way and the new expansion packs will create even more play possibilities through exciting properties.”
All-new Battle Arenas will offer first-to-LEGO® videogames competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players. LEGO® minifigures included in the wave 6 through 9 expansion packs will come with special, golden Toy Tags which unlock a Battle Arena within the Free Play Adventure World of the corresponding entertainment brand. Each Battle Arena has four different gameplay modes and comes with its own traps, special powers and interactive environments that make every battle arena unique.
The Ghostbusters Story Pack, based on the upcoming film, will provide a complete movie-based gameplay experience with six puzzle-packed levels and new LEGO® Gateway bricks that allow players to build Zhu’s Chinese Restaurant atop the LEGO® Toy Pad. It will also come with a buildable Abby Yates LEGO® minifigure with Proton Blaster and 3-in-1 buildable Ecto-1 which can be rebuilt into the Ectozer and The PerfEcto. The pack unlocks “Rip,” a new Toy Pad mode allowing players to tear open an alternate universe. In this mirror world, players have the ability to solve puzzles and affect objects and other items in the primary universe. And like all gold-tag minifigures purchased, Abby Yates provides access to a new themed Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena. The Ghostbusters Story Pack is just the first of this new exciting pack type, with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on the highly anticipated theatrical release, still to come later this year. The LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ packs will be the exclusive construction toy offering this holiday for the exciting expansion of J.K Rowling’s Wizarding World.
Story Packs also expand the Starter Pack story with deeper gameplay. In the game’s storyline, the evil Lord Vortech has hidden portions of his powers around the LEGO® Multiverse. As players progress through Story Pack levels, they can unearth and tap into Keystone Runes to use Lord Vortech’s powers against him through all-new Toy Pad modes.
Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ is now available for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Wii U™ system.

Re: LEGO Dimensions

Nice. Lots of cool new properties for even the adults that play the game.

Re: LEGO Dimensions

Been playing the hell out of this again lately. Already had gotten the Platinum trophy back in January. Been going back and completing all of the hub worlds and getting every collectible. Have a few mini-kits in some levels to finish getting too. Recently bought 4 more characters I needed for certain abilities.

My hope is to have everything 100% done and all 480 gold bricks before the wave of year 2 characters and levels are released on the 27th.

I still need to finish the Lord of the Rings, Portal 2, Chima, Dr. Who and DC Comics World hub worlds. Have a few gold bricks and mini-kits to get from the Dr. Who level pack and 2 main story levels. After that I should have 100% everything.

Pretty impressive. I got the minikits and rescues from all levels but have only completed the DC, Back to the Future, and Scooby Doo hub worlds. I got pretty far on Ghostbusters and Oz though.

I have lucked out with the underwater Chi sections in some worlds. I don't own Cragger so it is nice I can spend the studs on Hire-a-Hero and use him quickly. Slimer is a must own if you are looking to get everything. He can do underwater sonar and can also go through small underwater hatches. His hot dogs can also be used for Batman targets too. Cyberman is another must own too. Only character that does underwater hacking. You'll encounter this in the Simpsons World. I also bought Superman and he is a great character. Does so many things.

Re: LEGO Dimensions

I think I've got all the abilities. I did have to hire Cyber man for an underwater hack in DC but I own him now after amazon had him on sale for $3 a couple weeks ago.

$3? Damn. Wish I had known about that. I paid like $9.96 or something after Best Buy GCU discount.
