Ed Mack Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 They posted another video today on their instagram account that had a guy opening a door and a black box with blue shining through some slits is sitting on his porch. Can't get a link but it adds to the suspicion.New Hellraiser and Pinhead theme? 3 Quote

Battrax Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 New Hellraiser and Pinhead theme? I can already see it... Pinhead entering the room holding the brick separator tool ..."I will separate your MOC's bricks apart" Quote
fossilrock Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Probably just a video game like disney infinity, but you have to collect a minifigure for 30.00 to play the character in the world. That's my bet. 1 Quote

Can't get a link but it adds to the suspicion.I managed to download the video from Instagram and seemed to successfully upload it here onto the site in my gallery. It really doesn't explain much at all but does hint at this rumored LEGO Dimensions product I suppose now that 'reality' is involved. Quote
BrickLegacy Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 This probably needs moved but here is more information on the LEGO DImensions reveal/leak: http://www.videogamer.com/news/lego_dimensions_starter_pack_leaks_ahead_of_official_reveal.html 1 Quote

Another money grab. This was a great idea like five years ago. It's been milked to death by this point. What's sad is that this probably will be the new trend for future Lego games. You'll have to buy the minifigs to play or unlock new characters. Capitalism sucks some times. I expect to get trolled by the mindless BP horde for saying this. But it's the truth.

(please let them be removable from those bases) And at least you have physical items instead of just DLC that is only good in game.Wait, why does the brand graphic on the Lego site for this have Wizard of Oz?

biking_tiger Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I'd rather collect minifigures than Skylanders. Anyone want to buy my son's Skylander collection? 3 Quote
Grynn Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Wizard of Oz minifigs are the coolest part of it all to me... and I've played almost every Lego video game with my son. Will some, none, or all of the figs in these fun/team packs be exclusive? Glad I'm only a set collector at this point! Decent video ad with Joel McHale also... Quote

Wait, why does the brand graphic on the Lego site for this have Wizard of Oz? The Lego games (at least the console versions) don't have DLC. You simply unlock characters in-game. No additional purchases required. And I can almost guarantee that the minifigs will be kragled to the bases. They have to store the RFID chips in the bases. Quote

Are they aiming this at AFOL? Note, the 80's arcade games in the background. Or perhaps the AFOL crowd who have kids and want something more geared to themselves instead of Skylanders and Disney Infinity? Quote

From the ads, at least the Batmobile is not kragled since Hale built it from loose bricks. I am interested to know if the base can recognize different builds from the same set of bricks and reflect them on the the game. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Please to rename thread LEGO Dimensions. Done Quote

I wonder if they'll use something similar to the appbricks in the Ultra Agents line for the builds. If the characters can be "leveled up" they'll almost have to be chipped to store that info. Quote

They already kragled the minifigs on keychains and magnets, so this will be just a step above those Quote
jay4e Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) looks like a totally missed opportunity. should have been some sort camera that can scan in any minifig and convert it to in game toon. some could be programed to have abilities, the rest just based on generic types. but being able to adapt minifigs from any set is a lot more interesting than buying overpriced, custom figs with built in chips. given the entrenched market leaders and the costs involved, I do not see this going well.

fuzzy_bricks Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Get your pre-order on. $100 seems to high. http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=52853736 Quote
beartrapper Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) From reading the product description it sounds like the figures will be available through expansion packs but the base will be the only one created so you won't have compatibility issues. ahh here's more detail. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/04/09/warner-bros-lego-dimensions-to-compete-with-skylanders-disney-infinity-this-fall.aspx Edited April 9, 2015 by beartrapper Quote
