gregpj Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't want to buy a new console just for this game. And I don't want to buy a game that expensive. And then, LEGO, you try to lure me with something like this. You know exactly how to 'handle me'. I want this. Bad.http://www.lego.com/en-us/dimensions/videos/doctor-who-feature-3b9d49ab86a0479dbf82a5951a8eb74d Yeah, that's very cool.... So many doctors to choose from!

thoroakenfelder Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have a feeling that there will be a deluge of chip disks available cheap for people who just want to play the game. I think that some people will buy some of these expansion sets just to sell the minifigures, and try to make a small amount to the gamers by selling just those RFID disks 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakchem Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is there any predictions on which sets will be rare? It's really hard to invest all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm betting the portal one will be one and done, so either everyone will want it or no one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is there any predictions on which sets will be rare? It's really hard to invest all of them.I don't believe there will be "rare" ones, but I do believe that there will be sets that are popular long after these are retired.Doctor Who, for instance - this is the only way to get a Cyberman right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well this booster pack explains the Gauntlet level and check out that Spy Hunter car! If only there was a minifigure scale edition of it. In the Midway Arcade Level within the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle find themselves in a videogame, where they must race in Super Sprint, smash their way through hordes of enemies in Gauntlet, save astronauts in Defender, and defeat robots in Robotron. For retro gamer fans, there will be a Midway Arcade Gamer Level Pack with a LEGO Retro Gamer minifigure, and an entire level with more than 20 arcade games to beat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Briggs Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks for posting this review.I would've thought that these Dimensions packs would include building instructions. It's a pity that there obviously are only in-game instructions provided for these packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks for posting this review.I would've thought that these Dimensions packs would include building instructions. It's a pity that there obviously are only in-game instructions provided for these packs.I figured instructions for at least the primary model displayed on the package itself would have been included. I can understand why the two alternates can only be done in-game as part of the gameplay but to also limit the basic design shown is unusual. Now if it weren't for the fact LEGO does eventually give general public access to their various instructions or the fan base usually comes through, such would have restricted the Dimensions products to little else but a pricy parts pack with a minifigure and a couple of fancy stands made pointless without owning the actual game.

TheOrcKing Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well it would appear that LEGO Dimensions is planned for at least three years. Also all the booster/character/extra/whatever packs are not required to earn all in-game medals (100% achievements). You just need the basic starter pack to, well, get started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looking at Amazon sells rankings, the highest seller so far is the BTTF level pack at #37, #53 Dimensions starter pack, #55 Scooby Doo Team Pack, and #56 Portal Level Pack on the video game accessory list. It will be interesting to watch this list to see how they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crush165490 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Was at TRU at 8am this morning. Only 4 PS3 versions in stock. They only had 4-5 of the level and fun packs. Plenty of the regular character packs though. There was only me and one other person there when the store opened. Looked like they were staffed for a crowd and no one showed up. The $20 in gift cards I got back on my purchase was nice. Sucks the bricktober promo doesn't work with the Lego dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkkthunder Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 My store seemed to have lowest levels of scooby and Jurassic packsAlso I was only one at 8 am Less crowd then I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crush165490 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 No one ever goes to the one right down the block from me. Black Friday is the only day it's busy. Mine had lots of Jurassic park. There wasn't enough fun and level packs to even fill all the space they had setup for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharerin Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 There was only me and one other person there when the store opened. Looked like they were staffed for a crowd and no one showed up. Maybe I am being a negative nancy but these toy-to-life games seem played out. $99 price tag for the game and then having to spend big bucks to add-on? I think most people are used to getting the game for free and then spending to add-on. I have not played modern video games in sometime so I could be wrong. My kids have absolutely no interest in this game other than the Doctor Who and Stay Puft minifigs which they thought were cute, but not line up on opening day cute. They have not touched a gaming console in over a year. PC and mobile device only for this generation it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete411 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I agree. I think dimensions will ultimately fail. I know that they have plans to keep it going for three years but I don't think it's going to last beyond that. There might be a couple of interesting collector opportunities (i.e. Venkman with arm printing, Portal set) but I for one will not be putting in the hundreds of dollars to play the game.
