Here are my thoughts on Lego Dimensions:
Unlike other toys-to-life games (*cough*Nintendo*cough), the stores seem to be well stocked with Lego Dimension sets.
I visited a EB Game store, and a whole shelf was devoted to Lego Dimensions.
There is a video demo setup showing off the sets.
The starter base and packaging are smaller than I thought it would be.
I picked up Portal 2, Cyborg, Nya, Zane and Benny.
I didn't get the starter set as my funds are already stretched. (I may get the starter set later).
This is cheatest way to get Cyborg and Benny - the only way to get them before was from other expensive Lego sets.
The Lego instructions only shows how to put together the minifig. The Lego dimension website have all the instructions for all the packs.
The minifig character bases are decorated, while the vehicle bases are not. From the looks of it the
.In theory, you can swap out the vehicle bases with other sets.
The Portal gun is made out of soft rubber - I found it was difficult to put the gun in Chell's hand.
