Portal, Jurassic Park, The Simpsons Coming to LEGO Dimensions

New playsets revealed.

20 Comments

LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming Skylanders-style toys-to-life game from Warner Bros., already has an impressive lineup of franchises, including Lord of the Rings, Batman, Back to the Future, and Wizard of Oz. But now, new playsets have been revealed based on other popular series, including Portal, Jurassic Park, The Simpsons, and Scooby Doo.

That's according to Walmart listings that have now been removed, but not before LEGO fansite Brick Enquirer saw them. According to the site, LEGO Dimensions will offer Team Packs based on Jurassic World and Scooby Doo, while Level Packs for The Simpsons and Portal will be available.

Team Packs ($15) come with plastic toys only, while Level Packs ($30) offer the toys and in-game content. The LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, meanwhile, costs $100 and comes with the game, a Toy Pad (similar to the Portal of Power from Skylanders), three minifigures (Gandalf, Batman, Wyldstyle), and a Batmobile toy.

LEGO Dimensions was announced last month. It launches in September for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Wii U.

The game joins the growing toys-to-life category, following Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Amiibo. Activision's Skylanders series, the first toys-to-life game, is the biggest of the bunch, with more than 240 million toys sold far, driving more than $3 billion in lifetime revenue. Activision isn't the only one seeing success, however, as demand for Nintendo's Amiibo toys has been incredibly strong.

Seriously, I'm getting tired of Valve selling out... Will they not stop until they have as much cash in the bank as Apple? What exactly are they spending it on? (Hint - not making a certain highly anticipated sequel to one of the greatest franchises of all time)

@ZeroRaider: Yeah, that's actually kind of baffling...

Makes me wonder if previous titles didn't achieve the ROI they were looking for on PC. But even then, THIS title has a 100% built-in profit base: You MUST have a physical tchotchke in order to play -- even pirated games would be a source of revenue.

Guess with Wizard of Oz, you will have lots of yellow brick(s) for the road. :)

Anybody miss the old Town, Space, Pirate, and Castle sets? Like, the Blacktrons? Remember them? Or Black Seas Barracuda? That pirate ship was pimp.

If I have a mid life crisis, it wont be a Ferrari I buy, it'll be a bunch of the awesome Lego sets from the 80s and 90s. : p

@Mogan: So... ummm..... Yeah. What you speak of is real, and that's EXACTLY what I've got going on lately. My kids are flush with Lego sets (tons of Lego Friends, Lego City, Duplos for the little one, etc.), and I've got just about every Lego Star Wars and LOTR set produced in the last 5 years stashed in the basement.


...oh, and I've also dug up my childhood Town, Space, and Castle sets. :) (I never got into Pirates.) Unlike other old dusty toys like GI-Joe and Transformers, the kids don't think of those as "too old" -- they're just additional kit for building epic expanses.



Somehow I've managed to avoid all these other VG+toys sets, but I've already accepted the fact that I'll gullibly buy every single thing listed in Lego's new entry in this genre.




Best thing about Legos? They set me up (and hopefully my kids) with a strong desire to excel at engineering, and make good money doing so. (...which, apparently, goes right back into buying Legos later in life. "The circle of Lego.")

Very cool, glad to see The Simpsons being introduced to the game. Heres hoping that eventual "Lego Doctor Who" license moves to this game as well.
