3DTutorials Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Oh wow that looks really cool! I love the portal. Quote
KlodsBrik Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Man everyone here is making me jealous! Haha ... Me to I so hoped it would be on the shelves already. But nope. They really wont sell it till the 2nd. Dammit Still, looking forward to get it. But im not really interested in much of the expansions from the 1st wave. However the 2nd is killing me, well my wallet Quote
Solscud007 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Ok I got Lego Dimensions yesterday at TRU. They have a special right now in the US. If you buy the starter pack, you get a $10 gift card. If you spend $35 in level/bonus packs you get another $10 gift card. I bought the starter pack, Portal 2 and BTTF. I also got the TRU Bricktober Micro Hotel for free. The manager said they had a discussion and Lego Dimensions should qualify as "Lego Construction". I even told them, "I understand that technically this is a video game, but it does have physical lego bricks so it should qualify as a Lego Construction set" Has anyone tried the level packs? I can access BTTF and Portal 2. But for the life of me, I cannot find the building instructions for the mini builds like the mini delorean. The one issue I have is that the instructions for the accessory packs are useless. They only show you how to build the figure. You have to unlock the building instructions somehow in the game. It is annoying me to no end. Here is my EclipseGrafx Chell compared to the Lego Dimensions Chell Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) That's a shame that it's console only... It's funny because the Super Heroes games are released on PC... kind of sucks for the non-console gamers out there... Understood, but it's par for the course for toys-to-life games in general. The only one I know of that was on PCs was the first one, something called U. B. Funkeys, and that's the one that's no longer around, while Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and the Amiibo stuff are all thriving, and doing so purely on consoles and portables. It's therefore abundantly clear a toys-to-life game just doesn't need a PC version to do well. Additionally, there seems to be a feeling on the part of game makers that PC games are more susceptible to hacks and cracks that would nullify the necessity for buying the expansion toys. Moreover, they're generally targeted first and foremost at kids, who are far likelier to play on consoles anyway. Edited September 28, 2015 by Blondie-Wan Quote

Put Marty McFly on the portal and then hold down triangle (or whatever it is to swap characters on Xbox). This will bring up the character wheel. On the bottom is an instruction book. Click that and you'll have it. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Forbes notes the launch trailer suggests Peter Venkman isn't the only Ghostbuster who'll get a playable character minifigure for this game. Fingers crossed! The reviews so far are almost entirely strongly positive. Yay! Edited September 28, 2015 by Blondie-Wan Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I should just stop reading this thread, shouldn't I? By now, I'm completely sold but despairing inwardly at the cost of this monster. Quote
BatZack Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Today I bought the game at Target. Spent $277. Such a good game just damn expensive. $119 for the starter pack, $38 for the level packs, $30 for team and $20 for fun packs. And these are sale prices.usually $170 for the starter pack. Perks of the Aussie dollar. Anyway, I got the Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Zane fun packs, Scooby Doo and Jurassic World team packs and Back to the future level pack. I wasn't going to get Jurassic world, but my younger brother just had to have it. On the whole I'm impressed. Only played through the first level though, due to other commitments Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Forbes notes the launch trailer suggests Peter Venkman isn't the only Ghostbuster who'll get a playable character minifigure for this game. Fingers crossed! Fingers crossed we get all four Ghostbusters to play as. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore in a team pack and Ray Stantz in a fun pack would be great. Quote

Fingers crossed! Which makes sense, since we see a brick built PKE Meter (Which I would love to be in the rumored HQ ) Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I just realized that Forbes article is by our own wideawakewesley, if I'm not mistaken. For those who just saw my post about it without actually clicking ion the link and reading his article, here's the screenshot from the game's release trailer that apparently reveals a forthcoming playable Egon: Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 That doesn't look like the Mechanic hair...new piece, or bad picture quality? Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I wouldn't say the picture is "bad" so much as just that part of it being out of focus since it's not where our attention is being directed. But now that you mention it, I have to say it looks more like Ray than Egon. Whoever it is, though, it undeniably looks like another Ghostbuster. I suspect we can fill in the "GB" on that list of post-Wave 5 set numbers. Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I'm almost certain Winston will have a team pack with Ray or Egon or a solo pack as a way for LEGO to give us that new hair in a cheaper set. Or is it just me wanting a way to avoid buying the Falcon or GB HQ for it? Quote
Kaanere Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Not counting the phisical builds, what is the funniest Fun Pack? I mean, what Fun pack provides the best in-game experience? Aslo, I don't think that we will see LvL packs of licenses that already have a standalone game (like JW, DC oe NinjaGO, for those team packs). For that we have the actual game. Quote

HawkLord Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I think the only thing stopping us from getting certain licenses is just whether the license has an existing toy/game of it's own. So, really just Marvel and Star Wars, because they have Infinity. DC won't pass up any of it's presence in Lego, since with Marvel not being included in Dimensions, DC monopolizes the super hero characters. Ninjago is Lego's own license, so no harm in making more material there. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I'm curious about that last list we got. Assuming "HP" is Harry Potter, "FB" is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and "TTG" is Teen Titans Go!, those separate designations suggest certain "superfranchises" like DC Comics and Harry Potter will be split up into discrete, smaller worlds - there'd be, say, separate Adventure Worlds for DC and Teen Titans Go!, for example, and a Robin minifigure from a Teen Titans Go! Fun Pack wouldn't unlock the DC Adventure World, or vice versa; we could similarly see The Hobbit eventually brought in but treated as a different property from The Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park brought in as a different world from Jurassic World, and so on. But I really hope that's not the case. :/ Also, still no sign of LEGO Dimensions at Shop@Home. What's up with that? Quote
strangely Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I would think Teen Titans Go minifigures would unlock Jump City. After all there's more to the DC universe than what's currently in the game. Quote

So, really just Marvel and Star Wars, because they have Infinity. Well, them, and Indiana Jones, Toy Story, Cars / Planes, WALL•E, Brave, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, Frozen, The Lone Ranger, Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Peter Pan / Jake and the Pirates, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse & friends, etc. All of those have had LEGO sets or even whole themes, and all of them are owned by Disney (most of them even appearing in Disney Infinity already), making them off-limits for LEGO Dimensions. Granted that some of them would never have appeared in LEGO Dimensions anyway (and a few might never appear in Disney Infinity either), but still... Bear in mind it's also not just whether it appears in another toys-to-life game, but also whether it (currently) appears in another company's construction toys, whether the toys-to-life rights are available or not. For example, nobody's doing anything in toys-to-life games with Star Trek, as far as I'm aware, but Mega Bloks' recent acquisition of the construction toy rights means LEGO won't be doing anything with that property anytime soon (unfortunately), whether for this game or for just plain regular LEGO sets. Mega Bloks also now has both SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so even though they were LEGO themes for a while (and an especially long-lived one in the case of SpongeBob), they won't be in LEGO Dimensions anytime soon, either.

It would get a little complicated, though, if you get characters like Sarah Jane Smith who started off in Doctor Who and then got their own spinoff. Would you count Sarah Jane as a Doctor Who character or a Sarah Jane Adventures one? Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I'd definitely count her as Doctor Who, but then I'd also count The Sarah Jane Adventures (and Torchwood, etc.) as part of the larger Doctor Who universe. This is just the sort of problem I'm concerned about... although with that particular example I'm not too worried, since I doubt they'd have dedicated Adventure Worlds for any of the Doctor Who spinoffs. But im not so sure about some of the others... Quote
KlodsBrik Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Also, still no sign of LEGO Dimensions at Shop@Home. What's up with that? Uhh .... And youre in the US ? ..... Beyond release date. Still 4 days till release here, but no sign of it in the LEGO shop in Denmark either or online. However it has begun to appear on a lot of the stores that i would have thought would sell it. But it can only be preordered, doesnt seem that any company here is having them yet ready to send. They are obviously really serious about the release date .. Unfortunately. Edited September 28, 2015 by KlodsBrik Quote
DuckBricks Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 After watching all the cutscenes, the story seems dynamic and funny overall, but with a few issues: - Since the game had to be completely playable with just Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle, the story was more along the lines of the trio visiting and fighting in different worlds than the worlds coming together, at least until sort of the end of the game. - AT the times when worlds did collide, it was always a DC villain terrorizing the world with one exception: Joker attacked Springfield, Lex attacked Ninjago, Zod attacked the Ghostbusters, the Riddler attacked Middle-Earth, etc. The one exception was when Sauron and the Daleks attacked Metropolis, which was very, very nice, and I wished there were more things like that. - Jurassic World wasn't even in the storyline, and one Chima vehicle made a cameo appearance in Middle-Earth... No exploration through those two realms. - At the end, there was an attempt to bring the heroes together, with Batman recruiting the Ghostbusters, Scooby's Gang, GLADOS, the Doctor, and a Midway Arcade spaceship, but only the latter three actually were featured, and only the Doctor was heavily featured (which I don't mind at all being a huge fan of DW, but it would have been nice to have more theme representation.) - Most of the characters included in the packs barely made any appearances. Benny had a 5 second appearance, the ninjas from Ninjago were seen in a 2 second scene, and overall it really just focused on the main trio. - There was a truly horrifying creepy and frightening moment when Vortech merged Robin, Metalbeard, and Frodo into a three headed beast called the Tri. I was genuinely creeped out by the three mounted heads spinning in circles and speaking at once... Quote
