WB Games Confirms No Further Development of LEGO Dimensions
When E3 came and went with no new LEGO Dimensions packs announced a lot of people took that as a sign that the game had reached a dead end. Today, the LEGO Dimensions twitter page confirmed the news.
There will be no further updates, products or expansions for LEGO Dimensions.
As the image above states – your game will not stop working. The servers will continue to run and any products currently in the market will be supported.
LEGO Dimensions was a late-comer to the “Toys To Life” gaming genre, and that may have been part of it’s downfall. People had already grown weary of games that required you to buy expensive toys to get the full experience.
One thing the game will certainly be remembered for is being responsible for some great LEGO minifigures that surely would never have existed outside of the game. There is now an official LEGO Mr T minifigure. That’s crazy.
I never played the game myself, but I know there are plenty of you out there who did. Will you miss the game or has it run it’s course?
New LEGO Dimensions Wave Out Now
The latest LEGO Dimensions wave hits Australian stores today.
This wave features two new fun packs and a level pack that has been highly anticipated by some. Here are the details;
71267 The Goonies Level Pack
Based on the 1985 classic this set features a small scale version of the Inferno, a brick-built skeleton organ and most importantly a Sloth Minifigure.
Best Prices: $32 at Target or $39 at Big W
71348 Hermione Granger
The Harry Potter character finally makes her LEGO Dimensions debut. The set features a brick-built Buckbeak.
Best Prices: $20 at Target or $20 at Big W
71266 Chase McCain
Stepping out of LEGO City and into Dimensions is Chase McCain and his Police Helicopter.
Best Prices: $20 at Target or $20 at Big W
It remains to be seen what is still in-store for LEGO Dimensions. There are certainly rumours that there isn’t much of a future left for it.
LEGO Online Selling Batman Movie Dimensions Sets Super Cheaply
Right now the LEGO online store has prices for The LEGO Batman Movie Dimensions sets that are clearly a mistake. The last time this happened LEGO did honour all orders placed before the prices were changed, so I expect the same thing will happen this time.
First up is The LEGO Batman Story Pack. This pack allows you to play the story of The LEGO Batman Movie in Dimensions. It has an RRP of $79.99 but LEGO are selling it for $15.99
Next is the smaller Excalibur Batman Fun Pack. These single character packs have an RRP of $24.99, but LEGO is selling this one for $6.99.
Both of these prices are likely to change at some point, so you may want to get them now if you are interested. It might be a bit tricky to get to the free shipping threshold but even with postage you are still saving money, particularly if you split an order with a friend.
Thanks to Kon for sharing this with me.
Batman LEGO Dimensions Pre-Order Offer From EB Games
Unfortunately the LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack for LEGO Dimensions has suffered the same fate as the film itself, with release being delayed until March 30th.
To ease the pain slightly EB Games are offering a deal for anybody that pre-orders before release. If you pre-order the LEGO Batman Movie story pack you will receive the Excalibur Batman Fun Pack for free.
The EB price for the story pack is $79.99 and their price on the Fun Pack is $24.99. For the sake of comparison the previously released Story Packs are currently $69 at Big W, while fun packs are $22. Those prices make the EB offer look pretty good.
Thanks to Wade for sending this through.
71348 Hermione Fun Pack Announced
LEGO Dimensions have used the Harry Potter celebration in Orlando Florida to announce details of the 71348 Hermione Fun Pack.
The pack will feature a Hermione minifigure wearing her outfit from Deathly Hallows and a brick-built Buckbeak. Fun packs are the cheapest of the packs on offer so this is a great chance for people to add the popular character to their game without having to spend a fortune.
A preview video has also been released showing off some of the gameplay you can experience with the character.
No information on Australian release date as yet.
LEGO Dimensions Super Cheap At LEGO Online, Maybe
Let me qualify this straight up – there is a fairly high chance that LEGO won’t honour these prices, but if you are LEGO Dimensions fan you might just want to give it a go.
Right now LEGO’s Australian online store has 6 different packs listed at ridiculously cheap prices. You can get the Ghostbusters Story Pack for $15. It’s $79.99 at EB Games. That should show you that these prices are not right.
Unfortunately the $200 free shipping limit still applies.
Once again – I am in no way promising that LEGO will honour these prices. Order at your own risk.
LEGO Dimensions Series 2 Details
The official details are still a few hours away, but images of at least some of the next series of LEGO Dimensions sets have surfaced online.
The lineup includes an interesting mix of characters, from Adventure Time to The A-Team. Here are the details of what has been discovered. Click on an image to see a larger version.
71242 Ghostubsters Story Pack
A new feature of Dimensions Series 2 seems to be at least one “Story Pack”. Based on the wording of the box, a Story Pack contains an entire story – in this case the new Ghostbusters film. This seems more substantial than a Level Pack, so expect it to cost more too. Includes Abby Yates, the new Ecto-1 and the Chinese Restaurant setting from the film.
Plenty more below.
LEGO Dimensions Wave 5 Now Available
While it seems like the hype around LEGO Dimensions is slowing down, today (May 10th) marks the official release date of the 5th wave of sets.
This wave features three new Fun Packs to add to your collection:
71239 Lloyd | ![]() |
71240 Bane | ![]() |
71241 Slimer | ![]() |
Fun Packs have an RRP of $24.95, but it is quite easy to find these for around $20 at Big W, Kmart and Target.
Now that the last of the announced waves are in store news about what is next for the game shouldn’t be too far off.
Update: It seems that the information on the release date was incorrect – these sets are actually out May 11th. Sorry for the mix-up.
LEGO Dimensions Wave 4 Details
It’s time for a new wave of LEGO Dimensions packs to freshen up your game. Wave 4 isn’t as comprehensive as the earlier waves but there is a new level pack that might be of interest. Here are the details of the 4 items that should be in-stores today. Be sure to check out price details at the end of the article.
71235 Midway Arcade Level Pack
Bring arcade gaming to the your LEGO Dimensions play experience with the Midway Arcade Level Pack. The pack includes a Gamer Kid minifigure, 3-in-1 G-6155 Spy Hunter and Arcade Machine models.
71233 Stay Puft Fun Pack
Were you disappointed that the Stay Puft LEGO Ideas project didn’t pass review? You’ll probably still feel that way, but at least you now have the option of getting a minifigure Stay Puft to add to your LEGO collection.
71236 Superman Fun Pack
The man of steel finally makes his LEGO Dimensions appearance. Hopefully he can work with LEGO Batman rather than fight him.
71237 Aquaman Fun Pack
Everybody’s favourite aquatic superhero is now available to add to your game.
We’ve included details on the best place to grab these sets below.
