Hapori Tohu Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Clever people who have been trawling through the LEGO website have found instructions for 71201 Level Pack: Back To The Future from the upcoming LEGO Dimensions game. While this is interesting in and of itself, more interesting is that it reveals images of several other Level Packs, Team Packs, and Fun Packs, including several that have not been announced thus far. The most exciting are the Portal 2 and Doctor Who Level Packs, featuring a turret, Chell, and Companion Cube and TARDIS, Twefth Doctor, and K-9, respectively. We knew a Doctor Who set was coming from LEGO Ideas, but Portal is a brand new license (although several Ideas projects have reached ten thousand votes but were not selected). Other packs include Jurassic World, Scooby Doo, The Simpsons, and others. I'm excited to get better pictures and learn more about this game and these new licenses!

PeabodySam Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have very mixed feelings about the Portal 2 kit. On one hand, I'm very excited to finally see Chell, a turret, and the Weighted Companion Cube finally realized in LEGO form. On the other hand, I'm very disappointed that potential for a fantastic Portal set (such as the proposed Ideas project a year or two ago) has been wasted on a mere expansion pack for a game released for systems that I don't own. I want to say "YES!", but I also want to say "NO!". So, then... "THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE?" 3 Quote Armed with a Tail - Birth of a Legend - Calcite Copter VS Cybernetic Rock Monster - The Coming of the Toa - Cursed Form - Dino Attack Headquarters - Five Years Too Many - Gresh - Gladiator of Jungle - Hate and Vengeance - Lost and Found and Lost Again - Roodaka the Merciful - Scene 24: Johnny Thunder Blows This Taco Stand - Tearing Through Dimensional Portals - The Search for the Mask of Light - Wake One... - Vakama's Secret "It's all right, children.

ToaDraco Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I am so psyched about the Portal 2 pack! This could mean we may very well see a Portal set(s) in the future. My sister will be incredibly psyched about the Doctor Who one. I still really hate the whole toy/game thing and how you have to buy the sets to get the content as opposed to just buying the dlc, otherwise you have a very bare bones excuse for a video game which I'm worried will set a very bad precedent for a gaming industry that all ready has enough bad precedence. That being said, I will probably still get a pack or 2 if the game is actually good. This kind of stuff is just too dang expensive! Edited May 11, 2015 by ToaDraco Quote "Avengers? Fantastic Four?

Hordaki Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Seems like I was right. Nice. It's like Lego is making this game just to take all of my money. Hopefully Lego makes actual Portal sets, because I would kill for a Lego GLaDOS (not really, but you get the idea.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So not only are we getting a Lego Doctor Who set, but we're also getting Doctor Who in Lego Dimensions? WITH K-9!?! AND A SONIC SCREWDRIVER AND A TARDIS??? I was hoping this would happen! And while I've never played the game, I'm sure the Portal fans are excited about it getting its own Lego Dimensions pack as well. The folks on Eurobricks were able to use an image on the Xbox One edition of the game's box (which was shown at an angle where the top of the box could be seen) to determine some of the upcoming figures. So the Chima, Simpsons, Scooby Doo, and even Portal characters are no surprise. I couldn't make out Doctor Who in there, though, so that's a nice surprise. (For those curious, this is the picture the Eurobricks folks made from this image.)

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Eh, pretty neat but I'll pass- WAIT Portal 2? A VIDEO GAME WITHIN A VIDEO GAME?! This has to be one of the coolest licenses yet (not too big on Portal but still have respect for it). I sincerely hope this means a chance for more famous video game franchises to appear within LEGO Universe... -NotS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm guessing me saying the "raptor" in the Jurassic World level pack looks dreadful will earn me the same vitriol it usually does. It's not just the raptor either. For myself, at least, several of the non-minifigure builds leave a lot to be desired, especially that flying monkey. I get that there are piece count and mold restrictions, but I feel like LEGO has put out better small scale models than these. But since kids will be purchasing these for the stands (and probably minifigures) I guess that hardly matters. It's not that there all bad, most are actually quite good, but a few leave me scratching my head. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerTech Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 A lot of these sound really awesome. I've never played Portal, but I've wanted to (old computer+owner who knows nothing of specs= Nope.) I want to hear more about playsets from original lines, though. I want to know that LEGO isn't just taking advantage of the licences it has to up its popularity. (I'm looking at you, Batman.) It'd be really cool to see LEGO City, Ninjago, and other lines. Maybe even some older ones, like BIONICLE and Adventurers and Exo-Force. Or even older, like Rock Raiders and LEGO Island. C'mon, Lego, let the 90s have their time! 2 Quote Defy Expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I really dislike that there are more Licensed theme (there are 7 of them), then LEGO own stuff (3 of LEGO own), there is a huge chance to see some of LEGO old them in this like LEGO Space Police, Power Miner, Rock Raiders and Alpha Team.Also I'm curious about LEGO idea stuff having something to do with Dimensions.

Rooster Nui Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I might pick up the Portal one, but I won't purchase any other ones as I don't have interest in them. However, I might not actually get the Portal one when it comes to the release, as I'm starting to see just how small it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I haven't posted in a long time...Anyways, this is awesome. I need this game. I seriously think that Lego is plotting to take over the world- they have the rights to doctor who, portal, marvel and DC, LOTR/Hobbit, Disney and more- not to mention they have a seriously powerful media presence and several strong original themes. But I would enjoy living in a world ruled by Lego. 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
