LEGO Dimensions Discussion

Sounds like Green Arrow is decidedly not Stephen Amell. That makes me both a little bummed and also a little hopeful that they could do Arrow and Flash packs based on the shows. If they can do that for Teen Titans Go, why not for good television, too?

They won't do packs based on the show, but on their comic counterparts only.

And Supergirl is decidedly not Melissa Benoist... Shame that these aren't based on the TV shows, but the yellow haired arrow was a giveaway from the start...

I'm not much a fan of Supergirl's voice, I think it could have been done better.

But I am glad that they're using that hair piece for her.

I think her voice is the same as the one from that latest Lego Justice League movie, which was really annoying.

My awesome wife got me the Ghostbusters Level pack and Stay Puft pack. I was able to play alittle last night, but it did freeze during one of the cut scenes - frustrated that that still happens.

I love the Peter minifigure - the printing is perfect. Stay Puft looks great and I'm already working on getting the pieces for another Terror Dog - to make Vinz Clortho (slightly modded from the base Terror Dog).

Supergirl and Green Arrow are new Fun Packs! Check Brickset.

Supergirl and Green Arrow are new Fun Packs! Check Brickset.

There's a good chance that they just added them due to the NFC leak that we've been talking about these past few pages.

EDIT: There are set numbers though.

I was gonna pickup some new fun packs this last week but prices are back to $14.99 which I will not pay. That is overpriced. $7.49 was a sweet price point. Although Target is selling The Lego Movie ones at 75% off this week so I may pick up those. I think that is like $4 a piece as long as I can do multiple purchases.

[HawkLord]

I think the sale price is actually right where Lego should be with these. $7.49 for a Fun Pack and $19.99 for a Level Pack. That would really bring it closer to what other Toys-to-Life games are at. $15 for a Fun Pack, which is one minifigure and less than 100 bricks seems harsh compared to $13 for a Star Wars battle pack with four minifigures and at least 100 bricks. Granted there's the tech component with Dimensions, but it can't be that much.

And here's the video for the Red Lantern version of Supergirl. Don't see it posted yet-

That's cool. Does that mean Lantern abilities will be added?

[mediumsnowman]

I'd love a Green Lantern fun pack with a micro jet from the Sinestro Battle set.

[The Lego Nolan]

I'm guessing lantern abilities will work the same way the Aquaman pools do. They can probably do about the same thing there just in a different color.

[legosamsonite]

Sounds good. Missed both of those figures

Sad that there's not a red lantern physical figure. I was really hoping the next DC pack would be Hawkgirl, too (with proper wings (not Pharaoh's quest, not plastic sheet, and not chima), helmet/hair and the new mace from collectible minifigs). Buuuut I'll take what they're serving.

Toys r us will price match Amazon so will target . Easy way to get those sale prices.

Well that's a tease. Guaranteed we won't get an actual red lantern Supergirl figure....

Oh I know. But none of the ones I want except Aquaman, which is the least of what I want, are on sale.

[Local Knowledge]

Since the Green Arrow and Supergirl fun packs are now real, I'm wondering which vehicle they have. Also when are these gonna release? Just2good said Summer as a store exclusives, but I think they are just gonna be in Wave 6. Oh well we just have to wait I guess.

[LEGODalekbuster523]

I wonder if they might release a Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock team pack at any point?

That would really bring it closer to what other Toys-to-Life games are at. $15 for a Fun Pack, which is one minifigure and less than 100 bricks seems harsh compared to $13 for a Star Wars battle pack with four minifigures and at least 100 bricks.

I'm not sure what toys-to-life games you're thinking of where a single brand-new character and vehicle cost $7.49. From what I've seen, Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Amiibo single-character packs tend to be $13 to $20 RRP. It's only older characters, pre-owned characters, and non-character widgets like the Skylanders Trap Team trap packs or Disney Infinity power disks that I've seen for $10 or less RRP.

What's more, those Skylanders and Disney Infinity single-character packs generally don't seem to offer nearly as much physical play potential OR as much in-game content as a LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack anyway. Most Disney Infinity and Skylanders character packs seem to only include a fairly static toy character and one corresponding in-game character... admittedly, with their own skill tree, something LEGO Dimensions characters don't have. If there is in fact more to each figure pack than that, then neither Skylanders nor Disney Infinity is doing a good job advertising it on their websites.

By comparison, with a typical LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack you get not only a four-piece LEGO minifigure with five points of articulation and a corresponding in-game character with several different abilities, but also an upgradeable, rebuildable vehicle and a complete adventure world (if it's a character from a franchise you haven't already unlocked). With the Starter Pack and Level Packs, it's a bit more debatable whether you're getting a fair value. And if you're just in it for the bricks, then all LEGO Dimensions packs are definitely expensive compared to regular sets. But I see little debate whether the Fun Packs are priced fairly relative to other Toys-to-Life character packs.

Apart from the Doctor, who is currently the only character in the game who can regenerate.

[AyliffeMakit]

Apart from the Doctor, who is currently the only character in the game who can regenerate.

...are you sure you highlighted the right part, because his regeneration ability isn't a skill tree in any way whatsoever.

[8BrickMario]

Yeah. None of the characters can change or be upgraded. Only the vehicles can, and transformations don't count. Also, the Doctor's abilities are exactly the same in each incarnation.

[LEGODalekbuster523]

...are you sure you highlighted the right part, because his regeneration ability isn't a skill tree in any way whatsoever.

I assumed skill tree meant unique skills for each character.
