Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Our friends at Lego and Warner Brothers Interactive, have sent us a real mystery, that is, the Scooby Doo trailer for the forthcoming Lego Dimensions, here's what they had to say:
"In a new video featuring Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment revealed today gameplay featuring everyone’s favourite
Mystery, Inc. characters in LEGO® Dimensions™, the upcoming
entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO® brick building with
interactive console gameplay. For the first time in a LEGO videogame,
the Scooby-Doo gameplay combines the distinctive, blocky LEGO®
art style with the cel-shaded look of the original, animated cartoons.
The LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack includes a complete, mission-based Scooby-Doo level that Batman ™, Wyldstyle and Gandalf must traverse in their quest to stop Lord Vortech and save the LEGO® Multiverse.
For Scooby-Doo fans that want to customise their LEGO Dimensions experience, it was also announced that a Scooby-Doo
Team Pack which includes LEGO Scooby-Doo and LEGO Shaggy minifigures,
plus a LEGO Mystery Machine and LEGO Scooby Snack, will be available at
the launch of the Starter Pack. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy each have their
own abilities and the Mystery Machine and Scooby Snack can be physically
built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three different objects
that do entirely different things in the digital game for massive
variety. Either character can also unlock the Scooby-Doo
Adventure World, an open-world environment which provides additional
open world gameplay content separate from the game’s main story which
allows players to explore iconic Scooby-Doo locations, race, solve
puzzles, and more.
All expansion packs provide gamers the opportunity to use every
character, vehicle and gadget interchangeably, anywhere throughout the
game. Players can bring up to seven toys into the LEGO Dimensions
game all at once by placing them on the LEGO Toy Pad to create extreme
gameplay cross-overs, such as Scooby-Doo piloting the Batmobile through
Springfield!
Launching September 29th 2015, LEGO Dimensions will be
available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system
from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from
Microsoft, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
systems and Nintendo´s Wii U™ system."
Can't wait to embark on our adventures,
Gareth and Lady Eleanor
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Our friends at Lego and Warner Brothers Interactive, have contacted up with this latest news fresh from Gamescon. Here's what they had to say:
"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today at gamescom revealed that LEGO Dimensions,
the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO brick
building with interactive console gameplay, will include unlockable
Adventure Worlds that provide open-world environments for players to
explore. Separate from the game’s main story which takes players on a
heroic journey through universes as varied as The Simpsons and Doctor Who
in their quest to save the LEGO Multiverse, players will also be able
to access fourteen distinct Adventure Worlds for each of the
fan-favorite entertainment properties in the game. Every character in
LEGO Dimensions, including the three Starter Pack characters
and any Expansion Pack character, has the ability to unlock the
corresponding Adventure World of same brand to provide players with
additional gameplay content that is based on that entertainment
property.
Players will immediately have access to three unique Adventure Worlds based on DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, and The LEGO Movie. Each of these Adventure Worlds can be unlocked by one of the three heroes from the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack: LEGO Batman can unlock the DC Comics Adventure World, LEGO Gandalf can unlock The Lord of the Rings Adventure World and Wyldstyle can unlock The LEGO Movie Adventure
World. Additionally, each of the remaining Adventure Worlds can be
unlocked by any character from the same franchise available in the LEGO Dimensions Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs.
In a new trailer giving the first glimpse of the Adventure Worlds, X-PO (voiced by Joel McHale), the robot guide from LEGO Dimensions,
shows off worlds full of beauty and mystery where players will be able
to race, collect studs and gold bricks, and explore classic locations
from the varied brands available in the game for even more adventure
beyond the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment also revealed a Ghostbusters Level Pack with a LEGO Peter Venkman minifigure and Ghostbusters Fun Packs with LEGO Stay Puft and LEGO Slimer minifigures.
Launching 29th September 2015, LEGO Dimensions will be
available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system
from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Our friends at Lego and Warner Brothers have let us know about the latest news alongside the new trailer for the forthcoming Lego Dimensions, here what they had to say:
"LEGO® Dimensions™, the upcoming entertainment experience that
merges physical LEGO® brick building with interactive console game
play. The game features an original story that combines characters and
worlds from 14 of the most popular entertainment brands including DC
Comics™, The Lord of the Rings™, The LEGO® Movie, The Wizard of Oz™, LEGO® Ninjago, Back to the Future™, Scooby-Doo™, LEGO® Chima™, Doctor Who, Jurassic World, Ghostbusters™, The Simpsons™, Portal™ and Midway Arcade.
In the game, there is an ancient planet at the centre of the LEGO®
Multiverse inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It is said
that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built
upon, controls all of the Multiverse. Lord Vortech has vowed to be that
ruler, summoning characters from a variety of LEGO® worlds to help him
find these building bricks of LEGO® civilisation. Some have agreed,
others have rebelled, and only the combined powers of the greatest LEGO®
heroes can stop him.
When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics™, The Lord of the Rings™ and The LEGO® Movie
are swept away. To save their friends, LEGO® Batman™, LEGO® Gandalf and
LEGO® Wyldstyle journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations,
and they soon realise that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from
across different LEGO® worlds to help him gain control. As his power
grows, worlds mix, unexpected characters meet and all boundaries are
broken. Our heroes must travel through space and time to rescue their
friends before the vortexes destroy all of LEGO® humanity.

available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system

We can't wait to see what this wonderful world has in store for us,
Gareth and Lady Eleanor.
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Our Lego buddies (as well as our Warner Associates) have let us know about the latest addition to the Lego Dimensions Universe with this cracking new trailer featuring "The Doctor."
Here's what they have to say about it:
"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment revealed today at San Diego Comic-Con details about Doctor Who™ in LEGO® Dimensions™, the upcoming entertainment experience that allows players to expand their imaginations beyond traditional gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay. Peter Capaldi, who plays the 12th Doctor, Jenna Coleman, who plays Clara Oswald, and Michelle Gomez, who plays Missy, will voice their respective characters from the long running British science fiction television series in LEGO Dimensions.
In a new trailer giving the first look at the Doctor Who gameplay, worlds collide in ways only possible in LEGO Dimensions, such as the TARDIS popping up in Gotham City and Hill Valley, the Doctor battling alongside Homer Simpson in Aperture Science, riding a haunted mine car with Scooby and Shaggy, or fighting alongside Kai and Cragger in a Ninjago battle arena.
Doctor Who, which has never before been in a LEGO videogame, will be playable in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack with a complete Doctor Who level where the game’s heroes continue their quest while encountering Daleks, Cybermen and other adversaries from the Whoniverse.
Fans who want more Doctor Who in LEGO Dimensions will be able to purchase the Doctor Who Level Pack which includes an additional mission-based Doctor Who level, along with a LEGO minifigure of the 12th Doctor and LEGO models of the TARDIS and K-9, all playable in the game. When the 12th Doctor is defeated in the level, he returns as the 1st Doctor and then regenerates back up to the 12th Doctor again. The interior of the TARDIS will reflect the corresponding Doctor the player embodies or can be manually selected. There’s even a jukebox inside where players can choose among different versions of the Doctor Who theme music. The TARDIS and K-9 models can each be physically built and then rebuilt twice to do entirely different things in the digital game for massive variety.
There will also be a Doctor Who Fun Pack, which includes a playable Cyberman minifigure and Dalek model which can be physically built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three different objects.
Launching 29th September 2015, LEGO Dimensions will be available for Xbox One, the all-in one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems and the Wii U™ system from Nintendo."
Our only disappointment so far is that we haven't been offered a Jelly Baby!
We'll see you in the Lego Dimensions Universe,
Gareth and Lady Eleanor
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Our friends at Lego and Warner Brothers Interactive have let us know two pretty cool things. Firstly they've confirmed the following as part of the Lego Dimensions Universe:
The Simpsons™,
Doctor Who,
Ghostbusters™,
Portal®,
Jurassic World™,
Midway Arcade,
LEGO® Chima ™,
Scooby Doo! ™
DC Comics,
The Lord of the Rings™,
The LEGO® Movie™,
The Wizard of Oz™,
LEGO® Ninjago™,
Back to the Future
And secondly, but for us the most important news, that each lego vehichle and gadget can be built and rebuilt and then re-rebuilt (3 in one uses). (Whcih for us was a real part of the charm of lego in the first place.
Here's what they had to say:
"It was also revealed in a new trailer that every LEGO vehicle and gadget
can be physically built and then rebuilt twice for a total of three
different objects that do entirely different things in the digital game
for massive variety. Once players earn a building achievement, they will
get in-game instructions that show them how to use the same physical
LEGO bricks to rebuild vehicles and gadgets into different objects that
provide all-new abilities.
For example, the LEGO vehicle bricks that come in the Starter Pack
can be used to build the LEGO Batmobile that enables players to activate
accelerator switches. The Batmobile can be rebuilt and transformed into
the LEGO Batblaster which adds Sonar Smash, a sonar gun that has the
ability to break LEGO sonar bricks. The vehicle can then be rebuilt
again as the LEGO Sonic Batray which adds a special attack in the form
of a missile barrage. Players can fuse an upgraded vehicle to the LEGO
Toy Tag, enabling them to take it and any new abilities with them to a
friend’s game or wherever they’d like to play. Players can do this with
every vehicle and every gadget from every pack."
Here's the trailer for you:
We can't wait to start playing and to be honest I know that Christmas Day will be quite busy in my parents house when my nephews and niece land. Especially when my Dad borrows Lego Dimensions, although to be honest, I don't know if the kids will be allowed to play as "They won't appreciate it on as many levels as I do." (Both from my Brother and my Dad.).

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Calloused Thumbs,
Great Scott, its a scary world out there and now with transdimensional transportation, the world of lego is in a huge amount of trouble.
