My top pics are Doctor Who, Back to the Future, and Jurassic World, but maybe Ninjago. It depends on who is interested in playing this game.

pete411 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Absolute no on this, for now. If you thought Lego sets were mass produced, this is even more so. The thing is, nothing will be short supplied because you need the actual baseplates to unlock game content and levels. I don't think lego is stupid enough to pay programmers millions of dollars to create content and have that be impossible to access. I'm sure they have all of the licenses figured out in the long term as well. Some day, I can see some of the unique figures being desirable to collectors (Dr. Who, Chell from Portal), but we still have a looong time before they stop flooding the shelves with these.

tacsniper Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Just wondering, are the minfigures in these game packs just like regular minifigs from Lego building sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Just wondering, are the minfigures in these game packs just like regular minifigs from Lego building sets? In the sense that they are constructed the same, yes. Some of them are unique to Dimensions, though. The 12th Doctor is different than what's included in the Ideas set. And the Peter in the Ghostbusters set will not be slimed and will have arm printing of the GB logo. In the Ideas set there was no arm printing and in the GBFH set there will be, but Peter is slimed. There may be a couple of others that are different (different hair on Doc Brown?) but there aren't many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't they have it unlocked at that point? Or do you need the char every time you want to go in? wicked witch of the west is an exclusive fig, and I would guess it wil not be made again. Other than that the rest have been released, although some are officially retired: Bane, Superman, and LOTR will likely not come back.

fuzzy_bricks Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 If anyone is dropping an XBone under their tree this year, you may want to open it and get it updated prior to your kids opening it. Updating the one we got and the first update is ~1.2 GB. Not sure if there are any other updates, but I decided I didn't want to be doing this on Christmas morning along with everyone else that got a new Xbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdandy5875 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Pre-load any games they may want to not wait 15+ minutes for a HUGE download for also. The disk is basically just an access pass now to download the game. Some of these games are taking up to 50gb on the hard drive. For my 2 youngest, Dimensions is under the tree as well as the BTTF pack (last one woot).. Not expecting anything but if the mini figures do end up being worth anything, I know the bottom of which toy box to find them in. Cheers all - Happy Holidays...

My son kind of stopped playing after he figured out they really don't come to life. Makes me wonder about a $100 item that is now 60% off after just a few months. Sad. Great game, though...kids love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't know if it has any connection to poor sales or not, but many video games get discounted substantially after the first month or two. The Skylanders and Infinity starter packs can be had for steep discounts once they've been out for a little while. I think they want to encourage more people to jump on board so they can boost sales of the expansion packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickerbrack Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dimensions starter pack was way overpriced compared to Infinity. Should have been $50 to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned my lesson after the first Skylanders game to wait a few months and get it for at least half off. Plus the figures also start to really go on sale, as we have seen recently.

Alpinemaps Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wave 3 of Dimensions is starting to hit this week as well. So shelf space is needed and time to push the first two waves off the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The portal concept was interesting five years ago. Now it's just another thing you have to plug-in that gets in the way. I'm hoping it's fad that will end soon.
