LegoPercyJ Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Am I the only one wondering if there will be a special gamstop preorder minifigure? Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) So just2good was right about the Slimer. And about Mr. Stay Puft, which I certainly wouldn't have guessed. These are awesome, and I'm especially thrilled that we're getting an actual Slimer figure, though I'm miffed that the whole team of actual Ghostbusters apparently won't be an option. I think I understand the reason for it - gameplay-wise, there presumably wouldn't be any difference between the four, whereas all other characters should have unique powers, abilities and/or accessories. But it's annoying to think we'd finally get an official logo print on the arm for the Venkman torso, but not for the other three. I was really hoping (and still am) to get Spengler, Stantz and Zeddemore in a Team Pack and a Fun Pack (or three Fun Packs). Also, they could really stand to add some more playable female characters now. There are still only eight out of 43 known characters - that's fewer than one in five, and they come from just six of the fourteen franchises. And speaking of those characters, here's an updated list of all known packs, now color-coded for easy distinction of Starter, Level, Team and Fun Packs! 71170 - Starter Pack: PS3 (Wyldstyle, Gandalf & Batman) 71171 - Starter Pack: PS4 (Wyldstyle, Gandalf & Batman) 71172 - Starter Pack: XBox One (Wyldstyle, Gandalf & Batman) 71173 - Starter Pack: XBox 360 (Wyldstyle, Gandalf & Batman) 71174 - Starter Pack: Wii U (Wyldstyle, Gandalf & Batman) 71201 - Level Pack: Back to the Future (Marty McFly) 71202 - Level Pack: The Simpsons (Homer Simpson) 71203 - Level Pack: Portal 2 (Chell) 71204 - Level Pack: Doctor Who (the Doctor) 71205 - Team Pack: Jurassic World (Owen Grady & ACU Trooper) 71206 - Team Pack: Scooby-Doo! (Scooby-Doo & Shaggy) 71207 - Team Pack: NinjaGo (Cole & Kai) 71208 - ? 71209 - Fun Pack: DC Comics (Wonder Woman) 71210 - Fun Pack: DC Comics (Cyborg) 71211 - Fun Pack: The Simpsons (Bart Simpson) 71212 - Fun Pack: The LEGO Movie (Emmet Brickowski) 71213 - Fun Pack: The LEGO Movie (Bad Cop) 71214 - Fun Pack: The LEGO Movie (Benny) 71215 - Fun Pack: NinjaGo (Jay) 71216 - Fun Pack: NinjaGo (Nya) 71217 - Fun Pack: NinjaGo (Zane) 71218 - Fun Pack: The Lord of the Rings (Gollum) 71219 - Fun Pack: The Lord of the Rings (Legolas) 71220 - Fun Pack: The Lord of the Rings (Gimli) 71221 - Fun Pack: The Wizard of Oz (Wicked Witch) 71222 - Fun Pack: Legends of Chima (Laval) 71223 - Fun Pack: Legends of Chima (Cragger) 71224 - ? 71225 - ? 71226 - ? 71227 - Fun Pack: The Simpsons (Krusty the Clown) 71228 - Level Pack: Ghostbusters (Peter Venkman) 71229 - Team Pack: DC Comics (The Joker & Harley Quinn) 71230 - Fun Pack: Back to the Future (Doc Brown) 71231 - Fun Pack: The LEGO Movie (Unikitty) 71232 - Fun Pack: Legends of Chima (Eris) 71233 - Fun Pack: Ghostbusters (Mr. Stay Puft) 71234 - Fun Pack: NinjaGo (Sensei Wu) 71235 - ? 71236 - Fun Pack: DC Comics (Superman) 71237 - Fun Pack: DC Comics (Aquaman) 71238 - Fun Pack: Doctor Who (Cyberman) 71239 - Fun Pack: NinjaGo (Lloyd) 71240 - Fun Pack: DC Comics (Bane) 71241 - Fun Pack: Ghostbusters (Slimer) Still plenty of gaps in the numbering! Am I the only one wondering if there will be a special gamstop preorder minifigure? Not at all - several other people have contemplated the possibility, though I think most of us are hoping it doesn't happen. Edited August 5, 2015 by Blondie-Wan Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I love them! The new Slimer mold looks great, and so does the Stay-Puft Man! Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Hey, now might be a good time to check up on that top of box image we were all figuring out. Quote
Cheatster9000x Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 @gamestop pre-orders: What if it's Lord Vortech? Quote
Dorayaki Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) @gamestop pre-orders: What if it's Lord Vortech? I would rather see Lord Vortech in a Fun, Team, or Level Pack. It would be unfair for minifigure collectors to make him exclusive to Gamestop I think it's not proper since he'll not be a playble character, so I accept and welcome him as a non-playable exclusive figure. But if it comes true, that even makes Baron more doomed . Edited August 5, 2015 by Dorayaki Quote

gpricey Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 So five packs still to be announced... Total cost based on Amazon for all packs - including a PS4 Starter pack = £764.63 (UK Price) Ouch! Nearly a grand when all is said and done form Completionists ... and that's just wave 1! Love the Ghostbuster pack. Its getting to starting to pick what I want time and Staypuff is pretty close to the top of that list right now! Quote
Dorayaki Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 According to the newer video, we only have these default worlds (at least for the first version) and the unaanounced characters would unlikely be from unheard themes. In order to balance each world, hopefully Portal, Oz and BTTF could get more characters. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Did anyone see that girl from Ghostbusters in orange on the Venkman Pack? Nice little nod to the universe. Quote

strangely Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I'm guessing we'll get an Oz pack too. It would be strange if the only character we got from Oz was the Wicked Witch, but oddly she's pretty much the only one we've been seeing other than a glimpse of flying monkeys and the others. Quote

Weird, have we seen Team Dorothy in the cameos? If so the left spots have a big chance to be for all of them... The map thing kinda let me understand why retro LEGO characters couldn't be in. Unless Adventurers ever returns or individual characters are allowed, now Johnny Thunder really holds a very small chance..... Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Here's a look at Peter Venkman's Level Pack: Love that hairpiece. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I'm definitely getting the three GB sets, they look amazing. And Bricklinking some more of those wonderful printed arms. Quote
Marvelfan120 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 love the GB sets, just add harry potter and I'll empty my bank account for it! Quote
DuckBricks Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Oh man, the expansion packs just got that much more desirable with the open worlds included... Lego, you got me. Quote
wesker Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Also, they could really stand to add some more playable female characters now. There are still only eight out of 43 known characters - that's fewer than one in five, and they come from just six of the fourteen franchises. I'm with you there. There's plenty of characters that could pick from - Dorothy, Eowyn, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Batgirl, Supergirl, Marge and Lisa Simpson etc. Most of those have already been made too so there's no excuse not to include them at some point.

wideawakewesley Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 We've not got the Midway Arcade packs yet either Quote
badbob001 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 We've not got the Midway Arcade packs yet either My guess is that they will wait until the next modular building is announced. Because if the next building is an arcade, then each midway set would be a character from a game and a scaled model of the matching arcade cabinet. Cross promotion! Quote
Artanis I Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Slimer looks kinda cool, but not very Lego. Quote
Ashnflash Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't it be awesome if like the Skylanders Games we get special limited additions of characters! Like just picture special versions of Batman and Superman with different suits! This game though... incredible! Anyways I noticed that Dana Barrett is actually on the box! (I had to IMDB her name xD) I'm trying to post a picture but I can't... shes in the top right of Venkman's box Also: https://twitter.com/hashtag/LEGODimensions more pictures! Edited August 6, 2015 by Ashnflash Quote
Deathleech Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 While the new Ghostbusters packs look nice, it's kind of annoying that only Venkman (so far) has the updated arms with the patch. The Stay Puft Marshmellow Man is also horribly under sized, especially compared to the Terror Dog he comes with. I know Lego couldn't do him to minifig scale, or even come close, but he just looks wrong as a normal sized minifig. I mean what's the point? How do people plan on using him exactly when that's not how he appears in the film at all? Quote
