I have a confession to make: as slow as I am at building actual LEGO sets (it takes me well over 5 hours to build a 500 piece set), I’m orders of magnitude slower at playing through video games! How slow, you ask…? Well, let’s just say that I’ve still never completed the LEGO Marvel or Harry Potter Year 1-4 video games, much less opened LEGO Batman 3 or Dimensions. So even though I spent over $200 on LEGO Dimensions video game toys this week, I still had no clue how the game actually was.

Luckily, my dear friend Dave M. has been kind enough to step in and give me (and all of you!) his first impressions of the video game based off his first 8 hours of gameplay…

Toys R Us LEGO Dimensions Sets Released

After the calamity that occurred last year for kids and collectors trying to collect the first wave of Nintendo Amiibo figures, I was really afraid of huge shortages for the LEGO Dimensions launch.

And so, even though I ordered all my LEGO Dimensions sets online, I went to see how well-stocked (or not) my closest video game retailers were this morning. And as it turns out, the answer is “pretty well-stocked”!

LEGO Doctor Who and LEGO Portal Dimensions Sets

When the blurry images of the complete lineup of LEGO Dimensions Series 1 minifigures and packs leaked out, the one rumored inclusion that really made me raise an eyebrow was the LEGO Portal set.

I was genuinely skeptical that a licensed LEGO Dimensions Portal pack was real–but as it turns out, it is!

And not only is Portal coming to LEGO Dimensions–so are LEGO Doctor Who, Scooby-Doo, Simpsons and more!

LEGO Dimensions Ninjago Team Pack 71207

Of the six themes brought together for the first wave of LEGO Dimensions sets, there’s only one that hasn’t had its own theatrical movie released to its name: Ninjago. Even so, LEGO has big plans for Ninjago (including a theatrical movie!), and part of their plan to get everyone’s favorite ninjas into the public eye must be associating them with iconic characters like Batman, Gandalf and Marty McFly! And you can start preparing to send your ninjas up against Gollum and the Wicked Witch now, because the LEGO Dimension Ninjago sets are now available for order!

LEGO Dimensions Back to the Future Level Pack 71201

Of the themes chosen for the first series of LEGO Dimensions sets, the one generating the most excitement is definitely the inaugural Wizard of Oz set.

For the first time ever, a LEGO Back to the Future set will be available outside of the Ideas theme, and you can lock yours in now: the LEGO Dimensions Back to the Future Level Pack 71201 is now up for order!

It’s been a pretty slow news month thus far, but it turns out that it was just the calm before the storm!

LEGO Plastic Man Minifigure LEGO Batman 3 Gamestop Pre-Order Bonus Exclusive

Some people say that the LEGO video games are getting old. Me? I never get tired of them. And something else that I never get tired of is getting cool pre-order bonuses when I buy my LEGO video games! Is it expensive and sort of annoying that LEGO keeps making spectacular exclusive pre-order items with their games? Yeah, sort of. But would I rather have these items as special incentives for buying a game than not at all? Definitely. And today the LEGO Batman 3 video game pre-order bonuses were announced–headlined by the Gamestop Exclusive LEGO Plastic Man minifigure!

The LEGO Movie Western Emmet Minifigure Exclusive Promo with The LEGO Movie Video Game

Uh-oh! Looks like LEGO is at it again! It’s becoming a time-honored tradition for LEGO to blackmail collectors into purchasing the latest LEGO video games just to have a complete minifigure collection.

The LEGO Movie Video Game Announced for 2014!

THE LEGO Movie Logo 2014 Warner Bros.

Considering how many LEGO video games LEGO is cranking out each year, it shouldn’t come as a major shocker to anybody that Warner Bros. and TT Games are producing an all-new The LEGO Movie video game to coincide with The LEGO Movie film coming to theaters in 2014! Now, movie tie-in games are usually sort of mediocre, so this news may sound kind of “Ehn”. Of course, not every movie tie-in game is for a movie that features LEGO versions of Batman, Superman, NBA Players and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…
