Ashnflash Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Is it really petty that I'm hoping that the new Ghostbusters is good so that it doesn't 'taint' the game? Ya I was thinking the same thing. Like I keep wanting this movie to be good but I looked and no one has bought tickets for opening night and every ad I watch makes we want to watch it less and less... I think I've laughed maybe once at all the trailers and TV spots... And at the rate that the movie is going it is going to completely flop. Would Lego still even release it? The movie is coming out next week, but Dimensions is coming out in September. That's a big gap between the two.. If it flops and does horribly then who will even care enough to buy them? Quote

Exactly my thoughts. It just seems so odd that they are banking on this new unproven movie for a large portion of content in year 2. Quote
FrankyCentaur Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Exactly my thoughts. It just seems so odd that they are banking on this new unproven movie for a large portion of content in year 2. It's not like Lego hasn't done that in the past (RIP Lone Ranger and Prince of Persia.) Quote

I don't think it's that large of a portion since it's only 1 out of the 16 IP's... Hopefully the new keystone won't be too vital.. It's not like Lego hasn't done that in the past (RIP Lone Ranger and Prince of Persia.) But this is kinda different.. It's not a wave of sets or anything it's like something for a videogame. Like I don't think Chima or Midway did too well and they weren't too important I don't think Quote

Hopefully the new keystone won't be too vital The thing is it's more of a third of the new 'story' as apparently the 3 story packs are a hybrid of retelling movies and continuing the story with Vorton.

BatmanFanboy Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Is it really petty that I'm hoping that the new Ghostbusters is good so that it doesn't 'taint' the game? its going to be the worst movie ever! its the only franchise in the game i am not buying. I'm sorry but after that guy Paul Feig the director the movie said F the original fans i decided not to buy anything related to his movie. for granted i wasn't going to see the movie anyway. Ghostbusters 2016 will be the first franchise in the game I will not buy. because to me there are only four ghostbusters and their names are Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore. those are THE GHOSTBUSTERS Edited July 6, 2016 by BatmanFanboy Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Whether or not the movie is good is irrelevant. It will be included as an optional expansion to the game. While I have my own negative opinions about matters surrounding the film, I see no need to complain. In fact, if the movie is terrible, then the LEGO adaptation will almost certainly improve upon it.

While I have my own negative opinions about matters surrounding the film, I see no need to complain. In fact, if the movie is terrible, then the LEGO adaptation will almost certainly improve upon it. yeah but i am still mad about that guy Paul Feig saying F the fans. that's why not going to buy anything related to the movie. and to be honest have you been to target and walmart? because all of the ghostbusters 2016 toys are on clearance No joke! i am not lying. just look it up. and what's funny is the movie is not even out yet and the toys are already on clearance.

Ashnflash Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 It isn't optional that's the thing.. Now in order to get 100% with the expansion you'll need it.. Especially with the new keystone Quote
BatmanFanboy Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 It isn't optional that's the thing.. Now in order to get 100% with the expansion you'll need it.. Especially with the new keystone well i guess i will have to buy it then. but i won't buy the other ghostbusters 2016 pack. now if Abby can change between all five ghostbusters then i will always play as Kevin after i beat the levels of course and since I like Chris Hemsworth as an actor.

Krulis Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) While the movie looks bad (and director's attitude doesn't help it in the slightest) I will propably give it a chance. However even if the film is going to suck, the story pack looks fun, Abby is a well done fig and the new portal dressing looks great. While I'll wait for FB and TLBM story packs to show up before making any decisions I may end up buying it no matter what my feelings towards the movie are. I also wonder what thd other pack will end up being. My guess either Rowan's ghost or Kevin (if he won't be part of story pack). Edited July 7, 2016 by Krulis Quote

rob-ot5000 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Since someone brought up Oz and the lack of Year One properties in Year Two.... We all know that everything TragicBanjo says and does is a hint. That's only half-sarcasm. His profile pic has, for as long as I've been here, almost always been an indicator of something coming up. A few months ago, his pic was Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch, and then, BAM!, they reveal Tom Cruise/Ethan Hunt/Mission Impossible for Dimensions. Ever since he changed his picture to that of those red, perhaps even "ruby" colored shoes...you get where I'm headed with this? I've just been waiting for it to happen. Then, yesterday, I zoomed in on the picture and realized there are tiny pizzas printed all over them. Now I don't know WHAT to think. Quote

strangely Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Then, yesterday, I zoomed in on the picture and realized there are tiny pizzas printed all over them. I want to guess Fry from Futurama due to him wearing red and being a pizza delivery boy. But by that logic it could also be Pepper from Lego Island. I expect neither, but would love both. Seriously, reviving Lego island would be great. Make that happen Lego. Quote
Sir Gareth Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 But, by that logic it could also be Pepper from LEGO Island. Or, just the Late Night Slip-On by Vans in Mars Red/Pizza Quote
strangely Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Or, just the Late Night Slip-On by Vans in Mars Red/Pizza Isn't Mars Red Pizza a Dr. Who companion? So more Dr. Who after all! In all serious it's possible it's not a hint towards anything at all and even if it is there's plenty of other themes it could be hinting at, not just something for Dimensions anyway.

strangely Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) They're pizza-themed Vans shoes. :shrug_oh_well: Indeed they are, but when Lego announces a Vans shoes level pack none of us will be laughing... I am really hoping we get some more info soon. I'm kind of anxious to see how the Powerpuff Girls are going to turn out. Something makes me think their tremendous head size will make for a difficult transition. Edited July 7, 2016 by strangely Quote
rob-ot5000 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Lol. Oh youse guys. They looked like ruby slippers to me. Not your traditional ruby slipper, but yeah, s'what I thought of. Dorothy. Which makes me think Dimensions. Plus tiny pizzas. Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Plus tiny pizzas. Mini Pizzas.... MiB II! Quote
LegoTFGuy Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Is it really petty that I'm hoping that the new Ghostbusters is good so that it doesn't 'taint' the game? The way I see it since the people at TT Games can actually write comedy they can possibly salvage the script. Possibly. They're pizza-themed Vans shoes. :shrug_oh_well: No guys, he said 'pizza'. Clearly we're getting a LEGO Island reboot. Quote

I didn't connect the dots until now lol Tragic Banjo did it again! Quote
Ashnflash Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) I'm definitely not watching Ghostbusters now and hopefully this isn't the other character coming from the movie... A female Slimer Edited July 7, 2016 by Ashnflash Quote
