I'd love it if they made a pc port of LD

Fun Packs are $7 on Amazon. Most of them, anyway, and some are prime only.

Okay, I have a bit of a problem. I've tried to do GLaDOS' quest for Material Wealth Incrementation Spheres, but the help block is lying when it says to check the minimap for glowing red areas-they just don't show up. Is this a glitch? It certainly isn't easy to stumble around Aperture in hopes that the next area has one of the items to collect.

I've actually had something similar like that happen and that's with the mini map not showing up at all in The Lego Movie and Lord of the Rings adventure worlds when I'm trying to do a side quest but I ended up been lost so yeah I can see your problem there.

Hm, the same thing happened while I was searching for donuts in Springfield. Utterly futile. I sympathize but have no suggestions

Also first post here, I wasn't able to log in for quite a while.

Hey! Hi! Welcome!

Adventure Time and Teen Titans GO!

HOLY EXPLETIVE. I am seriously excited for Adventure Time, if this is indeed true. I already know it's impossible to get a minifig for every character I want, but man oh man: EXCITEMENT! I'm hoping we get a full-on Level Pack for this, and not just a new (A)dventure world. Speaking of which...

I hope for all four heroes, because they're all iconic, and it would be a waste of the license to not include them. Due to their relationship, I'd expect Dorothy and the Scarecrow as a Team Pack, and the Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodman might be Fun Packs.

Am I wrong to also expect (demand??) Level Packs for the franchises, especially licensed ones, that only have adventure worlds so far, like Wizard of Oz and Scooby-Doo? I don't care two bits for Jurassic World, but I'm sure someone wants that, right? I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to make demands, so...I just gotta figure out who to email them to.

Also, despite not understanding most of the references in the Doctor Who world, I find myself really wanting a minifigure of Missy. Get on it, LEGO!

Having watched the last 7 seasons in the past 2 months (largely spurred by my enjoyment of the Lego Dimensions shenanigans), I am absolutely on-board for this. She surely was one of the more intriguing characters I encountered before I knew anything about anything. I'll add it to my list of demands.

Cheers, all!

If they do Missy (and I'll be shocked if they don't), I hope they'll allow you to play as every incarnation of the Master so far. It would be so much fun to play as Missy then regenerate into Roger Degaldo when you die.

Yeah that would be interesting. I imagine that Missy/The Master would have the Laser Screwdriver as a counterpart to the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. I would like to see the Roger Delgado incarantion of the Master wield a sword like he did in the Sea Devils and the John Simms Master would have his electricity powers like in The Last of the Time Lords when he battled Rassailon. If it wasn't obvious already that I'm a big fan of Doctor Who for both the classic and new series. Not sure about Missy but I think she might use that gun she used to kill her assistant in her first appearance. Otherwise there is potential for her to be a playable character.

Yeah, Missy would have her device. Anthony Ainley's Master should have the ability to use numerous disguises so he isn't detected by security cameras. Eric Roberts' the ability to possess/'mind control' as they call it in the LEGO games. Also: Derek Jacobi's Master weilds the loose cable around he attacked Chantho with.

[8BrickMario]

Oh, PLEASE! A Missy Fun Pack would fantastic, especially if she goes through the Master's regenerations. I am 100% on board with this. I just wonder, though, since many important characters have been relegated to quest-givers, and I wonder how they'd introduce them. What would her vehicle be, though?

Level packs, though...JW already has its lead character in a Team Pack, and an Oz level would be no different from the story level, so I can't quite see that happening.

Okay, so my wish list is:

Missy

Dorothy

Tin Woodman

Scarecrow

Cowardly Lion

Oh yeah I forgot Anthony Ainley's Master could do disguises. As long as they don't use his disguise from Time Flight then I'm good. I will admit I have slightly lost track of what Peter Davison story I'm on and for most part I've been taking a break from his era mainly because of the above mentioned story and mainly because I wanted to try out William Hartnell's era because he was the only Doctor from the 60s that I haven't seen yet. But anyways I could probably see Michelle Gomez doing more lines for Missy if that's the case if she's playable.

That wouldn't be a problem. Doc Brown is a quest giver in Back to the Future World and he's being released this month.

What would her vehicle be, though?

A TARDIS based on the Master's from the classic series, with a working chameleon circuit. The build could be based on the 1970s computer bank from the 70s.

Yeah I was thinking it would be the Master's TARDIS. But one question what form would it take? Because in the Deadly Assassin and Keeper of Traken the Master's TARDIS was in the form of a grandfather clock but when Logopolis aired the Master changed his TARDIS into a roman column. So basically which form would they choose?

I suggested the 70s computer bank in my post but a roman column would be more interesting.

Oh right, I think I might've remembered something like that in Jon Pertwee's era but for the life of me I just don't remember that particular look of his TARDIS. I defiantly think the column would work. God my preordered Cyberman and Dalek can't keep any sooner.

[Lyichir]

I just can't see CCBS Bionicle in a minifigure-driven theme. Friends might work, but they don't seem to have anything that would match the game's puzzle-solving mechanics. I don't know the Dimensions demographics, but I feel like Friends packs wouldn't sell as well, unfortunately. Nexo Knights is incredibly likely, due to being similarly franchised out as Ninjago and Chima. LCU, however...I don't know. For a Wii U-exclusive title, it might not have the ubiquity of the other properties. LEGO City's reduction wouldn't be great, but Chase could work.

My thought with Bionicle is that they could use minifigures like those from 2014's Hero Factory sets (even to the point of using the same sorts of arms and legs, the former of which are still in use even in the Lego Dimensions Starter Pack itself). 2014's Hero Factory minifigures were fantastic and I'd love to see Bionicle get the same treatment, especially since the main 6 Toa were never represented as minifigures in the original theme. The biggest challenge with Dimensions would be the overall lack of vehicles to scale down for mini-models (plus Bionicle's more niche status compared to other themes). But hey, a guy can dream.

Friends would present a challenge, but considering it's one of Lego's biggest themes I would think it might be possible. And with a little creativity the characters could be made to work with the game's puzzle-solving mechanics—Andrea, for instance, could use a microphone to use the same sonar attack as Marty McFly uses with his guitar. Elves would be even easier to incorporate due to the elemental powers all the characters have. Demographics could be an issue, it's true, but I'd like to hope that if anything the inclusion of mini-doll themes would help broaden the appeal of Lego Dimensions to other demographics. And it'd certainly add some interesting variety to the game itself!

As for City, it's pretty much Lego's single most successful theme, and I'm sure TT Games would love to follow up LCU with a standalone adventure in Lego Dimensions. The Wii U exclusivity of the original game probably wouldn't be a problem, because it wouldn't need to be directly linked to the original game or anything–it could just share some of the same characters, who are pretty typical cop show archetypes for the most part. And they might as well use Chase McCain if they were to include Lego City, since it's not like the theme has a huge stable of other characters to choose from. Ideally, if they were to include it, we might also get something like a Rex Fury fun pack so we could finally get him as a physical figure.

[JaHawk2009]

I think my wishlist would have to be as follows

Missy (Dr Who)

Raven (TTG)

Velma (SD)

2016 Ghostbusters Team

and then go from there. I'd love variants of the existing Titans, just so I have different minifigs to those in Jokerland.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this but wasn't Chase McCain was a minifigure that you could get if you preordered the game?

[8BrickMario]

I find that a column would be a very dull build. A grandfather clock for Missy's TARDIS would be great, though.

I got Unikitty, so I can solve any rainbow/fire/goop puzzles now.

So how many have you got in your roster now? Edited January 9, 2016 by Starscream759

Me too, not owning a console is the only reason I don't have LEGO Dimensions (I do own The LEGO Movie and it is AWESOME)

[Lyichir]

He was, and he appeared with the same face but normal police gear in one of the City sets that year as well. The reason I want Lego City content isn't because I need a Chase McCain figure (though other characters like Rex Fury would be nice), but because Lego City Undercover was, in my opinion, the single greatest Lego game I've ever played, and I'd love for them to bring some of those ideas and characters into Lego Dimensions in the absence of a true sequel.

[8BrickMario]

So how many have you got in your roster now?

Let's see...

Batman, Gandalf, Wyldsyle

Chell

The Doctor

Owen, ACU

Shaggy, Scooby-Doo

Wonder Woman

Legolas

Homer Simpson

Wicked Witch

Unikitty

Cragger

Marty McFly

Zane

While I'll need to save up a bit, I plan to get Doc Brown, the Cyberman, a short character, and Venkman.

Guys, I need help.

I have nearly zero interest in Dimensions, but I thought I'd chime in to say that I agree with this 100%, and would become interested in Dimensions if there were City Undercover-related content.

[JaHawk2009]

My roster contains

Batman, Wyldstyle, Gandalf

Chell

Owen

ACU Trooper

Homer

Marty McFly

The Doctor

Cyborg

Fully plan on getting Ghostbusters, Harley & Joker, Unikitty and the others needed for 100%.

They've been that way for the past few days. I got me the Doc Brown and Cyberman packs, essentially a BOGO deal.

[Starscream759]

So you know how Scooby and Shaggy have tracking abilities?

[8BrickMario]

What about it? Scooby's definitely the best tracker, as most of them involve digging things up.
