Review: 71245 LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Level Pack

November 9, 2016 By Jay Ong 10 Comments

I’ve managed to get sucked into LEGO Dimensions once again with the recent release of Phase 2 of LEGO Dimensions . Phase 2 introduces a whole bunch of new characters and level packs and there’s one particular new addition which caught my fancy – LEGO Adventure time!

I kinda reluctantly picked up the Adventure Time Level Pack, mostly because I’m a big AT fan and the prospect of owning a minifigure version of Finn, one of the protagonists of the Cartoon Network show was too tempting to pass up.

If you’ve read some of my other  LEGO Dimensions reviews , you’ll know that I don’t play the video game at all , and mostly just collect these for the minifigures, so my review won’t touch on the new Level that this set unlocks.

Name:  Adventure Time Level Pack Set Number:  71245 Pieces : 102 Price:   $49.95 (I recommend picking one up from Target for $39 ) Exclusive to:  N/A Minifigures: 1 Theme:  LEGO Dimensions Wave 6 Year of Release:  2016 Instructions:  71245 LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Level Pack

I really can’t remember why I stopped watching Adventure Time. I used to be really into it till about 2012 when I suddenly lost interest in Adventure Time. It’s not that the quality dipped – it was and I believe still is one of the best animated series to come out of Cartoon Network, and the series is still going really strong, with a very passionate fanbase.

I’ve always felt that Adventure Time (and the entire Cartoon Network stable) would make a fantastic fit with LEGO. Which is why I was quite disappointed that AT’s debut into the LEGO universe came through LEGO Dimensions.

I think Adventure Time’s expansive universe, bright visuals and colourful cast of characters would’ve been awesome as LEGO models and sets , but for the time being, we’re kinda limited to exploring the world of Ooo in a video game, or the upcoming brick-built Ideas set .

Before we get into the minifig and the mini builds, here’s a look at the new Dimensions Year 2 bases . They’re gold this time around (they were Blue in the first run) and each character comes with their own signature base which unlocks the character and/or levels in the game once you place them on the Gamepad.

Finn’s base is pretty cool. I really love that the Adventure Time Snail makes an appearance as well. For those that don’t watch the cartoon, there’s a snail that waves at you hidden in each episode!

For most non-gamer LEGO fans, the minifigures in LEGO Dimensions packs are the primary draw of the sets and Finn the Human is a near-perfect minifigure that’s bound to delight fans of Adventure Time.

The bright colours and animation style translate incredibly well into LEGO. Finn comes with his trademark smile and white hat . A bit of gruesome Adventure Time trivia – the hat’s two rounded bumps are meant to look like bear ears, because Finn skinned an evil bear to get his hat.

The headgear is super on-point, fitting the Finn minifigure really, really well. Finn also comes with a green backpack , and a gold longsword . I believe that the gold sword is exclusive to this set for now as I’ve never come across it in this colour before. Pretty sweet.

Edit: Matt rightly points out that this sword also came with Series 13’s Classic King!

Finn also has a dual-sided head – the alternate side has his iconic toothy grin which LEGO have nailed as well.

L ook at that adorable smile. I have to say that Finn is a shoe-in for one of my favourite minifigs this year.

Like other Dimensions packs, the Adventure Time Level Pack comes with two mini-builds . I guess they’re meant to supplement the Levels ingame, and unlock companions or vehicles to fight alongside your character?

One of my biggest complaints about the first wave of Dimensions sets were the fact that you had to go online to access the build instructions OR access them in-game.

I had hoped that in Phase 2, we’d see LEGO learn from that and include additional manuals in but nope, you still have to go online f or instructions for the mini builds  in the Adventure Time Level Pack. Pretty troublesome.

Anyway, the first is Finn’s best friend, Jake the Dog, who is able to transform into practically anything. The primary build is the Jakemobile , where he takes the shape of a car.

I was very happy with the printed curved slope with Jake’s face on it  – printed elements are always a treat and due to Jake’s importance in Adventure Time, I was pretty pleased with the Jakemobile.

And yes, Finn can sorta ride the Jakemobile. I had to make some slight adjustments by removing Finn’s legs and attaching him to the Jakemobile with the help of an extra 1 x 2 plate.

All mini builds in LEGO Dimensions sets have three forms. The alternate form of the Jakemobile is Snail Dude Jake where he uh… takes the shape of a snail. Yeah, Adventure Time is pretty quirky like that.

Last but not least, you can also build a Hover Jake, in which he transforms into a hovercraft-dog-thing to ferry Finn around.

The Jake builds are pretty decent, and it’s kinda nice to have both of them in the set (sorta), but for the most part, it’s great to be able to display the two of them together.

The next build is pretty damn bizarre, the Ancient War Elephant … or more specifically, the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant  if we’re going by official names. Yeah, what is that thing?

The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant is a pretty obscure part of Adventure Time , and I couldn’t immediately figure out what the LEGO build was until I looked up photos of the Ancient War Elephant.

This is a pretty curious build to include in the Adventure Time Level Pack, but I guess the Ancient War Elephant has a pretty big role in the video game that I’m otherwise unaware of.

It’s a really weird LEGO build, and I’m still not sure what to make of it. The parts that you get are pretty decent – I like the pearl gold holders, and the white “Elephant trunks” but for the most part, it doesn’t quite do it for me.

The alternate builds are even weirder and I definitely don’t remember any of this from Adventure Time. This is the Cosmic Squad … which I’m guessing is some sort of space….seahorse?

The Ancient War Elephant also transforms into a… Psychic Submarine . Yeah, I also don’t think these were in the cartoons.

Sweet boosters at the back, though.

The choice for the Ancient War Elephant is a pretty puzzling one. For such an expensive Level Pack, I would’ve liked a more recognizable Adventure Time character or reference.

The builds are pretty creative and unique, but it just feels like a waste of the license to not include something more substantial. 

I think that Lady Rainicorn  or even a micro version of Finn’s Treehouse would’ve been so much better choices.

Final thoughts:  I used to rail on the LEGO Dimensions sets for being pretty pricey, but w ith Level Packs, you kinda have to factor in the unlockable game content into the overall price. I mean, you are getting a whole new level in the game, which is nothing to sneeze at.

That said, it doesn’t detract from the fact that if you’re like me and don’t play the game, i t’s a very pricey undertaking . I have very fond memories of Adventure Time and like the cartoons, so despite this being quite painful to my wallet, I was still more than happy to part with AU$39 to get my hands on a Finn minifigure. 

LEGO have done a tremendous job translating Finn into a minifigure , and if you’re a big Adventure Time fan, I highly recommend putting this Level Pack on your radar, or saving up for it.

Jake (and the printed curved slope that goes with him) is also another nice addition – I’ll definitely be displaying him next to Finn. The Ancient War Elephant is a complete miss for me. It boggles the mind that LEGO would include it in the place of other more recognizable characters from Adventure Time.

I think that if you play LEGO Dimensions and like Adventure Time, this Level Pack is pretty much a no-brainer and you’re bound to get a whole ton of value out of it.

If you just collect LEGO and would love the Finn minifigure, I recommend waiting it out , at least till the retailers inevitably discount the latest wave of Dimensions Packs to snag him.

It’s unfortunate that Kmart Australia doesn’t stock LEGO Dimensions any longer, so your only real options are Target and Big W. Don’t bother with EB Games unless you’re price-matching – their pricing is crazy.

To be fair, there are plenty of other great LEGO sets you could be buying for $39, so if you have a limited budget, this might not be one of the better purchases that you can make. Unless you’re an Adventure Time fan, to which I say, go for it!

Rating: 4/5

Thanks for reading the review! Check out some other LEGO Dimensions reviews  or the Review Hub  if you’d like to explore some of my other LEGO reviews.

Have you gotten into the latest wave of LEGO Dimensions sets yet? Let me know in the comments which ones you’ve picked up or which ones are on your wishlist. I definitely can’t wait for Sonic!

This may sound silly, but when the last waves of Dimensions figures got down to around $7 at our Wal-Mart, it was open season for me and a great way to get some figures I couldn’t afford in bigger licensed sets, like Wonder Woman and Cyborg and so on, and the little bags of different pieces that came with them just became some very unique building fodder for the most part…not a bad deal really at the $7 Mark.

November 11, 2016 at 10:03 PM

Nice review! I can’t wait for Powerpuff Girls packs (don’t like the new show, but they look the same as the old one) and Gremlins!

November 11, 2016 at 5:49 AM

I do think a large part of the LEGO community would appreciate an Adventure Time theme with Minifigures. I’ve never actually seen the show but the Dimensions sets look pretty good.

November 10, 2016 at 9:19 PM

Come along with meeee… To a cliff under a treeee… We can wander through the forest, and do so as we please…

Note to self: update game and buy some packs.

I can’t wait for the other CN packs, PPG and TTG. (Not a huge fan of the SHOWS, but they’re still cool.)

November 12, 2016 at 2:52 PM

Yes! PPG would be all sorts of cool! All that’s missing is a Lemongrab minifig. I need one.

What do you think of the game so far?

November 13, 2016 at 11:02 PM

I’m not even done the entire story mode.

I’ve been too busy having fun fooling around in the Adventure Worlds.

November 9, 2016 at 1:06 AM

Great review, Jay! Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t we get a similar gold longsword with the Classic King in the CMF line a few series back? It looks similar but I don’t have it in front of me to compare.

November 9, 2016 at 7:52 AM

Thanks Matt! Also, you’re totally right! It did come with Series 13’s Classic King.

November 17, 2016 at 10:52 PM

It also first appeared in the 2001 King’s Castle set, with the blue Lion Knights king.

November 18, 2016 at 11:22 AM

Ahhh, cool! Didn’t know that the element was that old!

6. LEGO Dimensions Back to the Future Level Pack

Back to the Future is a classic film involving time travel and the consequences of messing with the past. In the film, the main plot is that Marty Mcfly is catapulted to 1955 and has to ensure that his parents fall in love with each other while also seeking help from Doc Brown to get himself back to 1985. For those who don't care at all for Marty trying to reunite his parents, this level pack has only the scenes with Marty trying to get back to 1985.

After you place Marty's Tag on the toy pad, the game alerts you to play the level to unlock the Delorean and the Hoverboard. Say yes to start the level.

Once gameplay begins, smash everything around Marty to receive pieces for a part of the amplifier. Build it, then make your way over to the glass jukebox and cabinet. Smash both with Sonar, then build the amplifier pieces. For the final piece, step on the area with Marty's face to begin building the hoverboard.

Hoverboard abilities: Can hover, Will follow the player (Both are Level 1 and 2 only), Flight, Silver Lego Destruction (These last two are Level 3 only)

Delorean Abilities: Time Travel Switches (All Levels), Accelerator Switches (Level 1 and 2), Electricity (Level 2 only), Tow Bar(Level 2 Only), Flight (Note: This version of flight includes Cargo Hook and Flight Dock), Silver Lego Destruction, Target Switches (Level 3 only for the last three).

After the cutscenes end, head right to find a boomerang switch. For reference, have a picture:

Use the boomerang switch, then grab the mini kit that appears to receive an achievement.

Collected any Minikit within the 'Back to the Future!' level

Once that is all done, smash everything near the truck and behind the pile of crates to receive a circle switch build. Do so and use it to open the truck. Smash the glass on the truck to receive a vehicle ramp. Use either the Delorean or the Hoverboard to run over the ramp and receive pieces for a build. At this point, the Libyans van will be in the parking lot. During this time, they'll throw explosive bananas at you that can destroy the silver trash cans. Wait behind all three until they are destroyed, then build the Time Travel switch and drive the Delorean over it. Once it hits 88 mph, you end up in the barn.

Inside the barn, head left towards the other side of the Time Switch to see some glowing things to smash. Do so and build a ladder for Marty and the Hoverboard. Once on top, hover to the right to note a box on a track. Remove the debris in the way, then push the box down. Once done, the box reveals pieces for a speed boost. Use the Delorean on it, watch the lengthy cutscene and proceed to the final section.

Here, you must connect three plugs into generators by pushing them in. The first one is right next to your starting location. Once a checkmark appears, head right and smash the glass of the store to reveal a circle switch. Use it to unfold the awning, then jump onto the nearby car to the awning, then onto the roof top. Up here smash the pile by the plug to receive the path pieces. Build it, then push the plug to the generator. Summon the hoverboard to the roof and head right to climb a ladder. Take the hoverboard over the gap then jump on the bars to reach the final socket. Destroy everything up here to receive pieces for the plug and the path. Build both, then push the plug into the socket. Once done, head down to the Time Travel Switch and use it to complete the level. Upon level completion, you receive an achievement and gold brick.

Completed ''Back to the Future!''

Rule Breaker for this level is around 100,000 studs. I highly recommend getting the x2 red brick from the LOTR adventure world before attempting Rule Breaker. Once done, you get the final achievement of this pack.

Achieved the ''Rule Breaker'' stud goal in the ''Back to the Future!'' level

That's all for the Back to the Future Level Pack!

The following section is for hidden mini kits with the Time Travel and Target abilities. If you got the achievement for collecting 30 mini kits, you can ignore this section. Otherwise, take note of the mini kits here. Note that Target is only available with the level 3 build.

Level 6: Time Travel Switch during the first phase of the actual Lord Vortech boss fight. Head Left when the battle begins to find it. Take it to head to 2015 Hill Valley. Once here, climb the ladder with Wyldstyle and complete the Acrobatic section to appear next to the clock. Once lightning strikes, you receive the mini kit.

Level 10: On your way to rescue the Astronaut in the second building, look to the left to find the Time Travel switch. Take it to end up in a space station. Grab the mini kit, but don't leave yet. Instead, head all the way to the right to see a stealth section. Grab the mini kit and press the button to disable the cameras, then have Marty sonar smash the wall to open the door. Destroy the debris to reveal a keystone. Hit the keystone and send Batman to yellow to push the box to the elevator. Hit the boomerang switch to activate the elevator, then head through purple to finish pushing the box to the generator. Once done, Sonar Smash the car for another mini kit.

Level 11: After entering the mines, hit the Target switches behind you to enter a secret area. Head left to find a relic detection area. Hit it to reveal a keystone. Use the fire element to light up the torches and receive a mini kit.

Instructions For LEGO 71245 Adventure Time Level Pack

These are the instructions for building the LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Level Pack that was released in 2016.

The many worlds of Lego Dimensions: A beginner's guide

We round up the films, stories and characters that collide in the lego skylanders-alike.

Lego Dimensions, the ultimate in bricktacular mash-ups may be a few months away still, but recent weeks have seen a motherlode of information make it's way out of the wood work - whether it's Portal -themed levels, a regenerating Dr Who character, or, perhaps more amazingly, rebuildable LEGO vehicles and add-ons, which can be rebuilt into one of three different designs, with the game recognising how you've built it , we've rounded up everything we know about the game so far below. So whether you know your Team Packs from your Fun Packs or struggle to tell the difference between Wyldstyle and Gandalf (hint: it's in the beards), brace yourself for some serious Lego-envy! 

The Starter Pack

This is where it all begins - the Lego Dimensions Starter Pack. Including figures of Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle, a Batmobile vehicle, a buildable Lego Gateway portal to transport your characters into the game and the Lego Toy Pad gadget (they mean base), the starter pack comes with all you need to get started. Letting you place any combination of seven characters, gadgets and vehicles on the base, to be transported into the game all at once, the toy pad is a fancy piece of kit - but there's more to it than just being a portal. In fact, it even plays into the game itself, with different sections lighting up in different colours that trigger different effects for the figure placed there - whether it's making Batman giant enough to weigh down a pressure pad, miniaturising Gandalf so he can fit through a small door or giving your characters new elemental attacks to defeat a group of bad guys. Oh, and there's one other thing that comes in the starter pack - the game itself, promising its own story mode to play through, where oodles of worlds collide.

One day, a talented lass or fellow, a special one with face of yellow, will thwart Lord Vortech and save the realm.

At the centre of the Lego Multiverse (the land where all things LEGO live) is an ancient planet, inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It's prophesied that he who controls the Foundational Elements that the planet is built upon will control all of the Multiverse - but unlike some other prophesies we can name, this one doesn't rhyme. As with any evil mastermind worth his salt (or we suppose in this case, plastic) Lord Vortech has taken it upon himself to become the supreme ruler, summoning various characters from a multitude of Lego worlds to help him recover these building bricks of many a Lego civilisation. And, in true bad guy style, he doesn't ask people nicely - he summons a load of mysterious, powerful vortexes all across the Lego-sphere, sucking in characters from the worlds of DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The Lego Movie to help with his evil plan.

Not ones to idly sit on their laurels and watch their friends be sucked into slavery, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle leap into the vortex and set off on an epic adventure to save all of Lego-manity. What follows is the ultimate in mash-ups, with the trio taking in the sights and sounds of everything from Doctor Who and Back to the Future to The Simpsons and Portal - and why just stop at Gandalf, Wyldstyle and Batman? Much like Skylanders and Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions promises a whole host of extras to spend your hard-earned cash on, adding extra characters, vehicles and items to expand your game.

Level Packs

Once you've exhausted the Starter Pack, LEGO have a whole myriad of new expansion packs you can buy, which add new worlds, new characters and new vehicles to the game. So far, only four different level packs have been announced, each packing an additional level, character, and a vehicle or gadget or two:

Back to the Future

The Back to the Future Level Pack comes with a figure of Marty McFly, the Delorean Time Machine and Hoverboard vehicles, and, of course, a new stage to play in - the 'Hill Valley Time Travel Adventure'. Set in Hill Valley, with both the DeLorean and Marty's Hoverboard at your disposal, while actual concrete details about what the level will involve are pretty much non-existent, we can have a good guess what this time-travelling bricky adventure will be about. We're bracing ourselves for plenty of flux capacitors and gigawatts, at any rate! 

Now, for the Doctor Who Level Pack, we know a little bit more. Coming with a LEGO-ised version of the new, 12 th Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi, as well minikits of the series-staple TARDIS and robot dog sidekick, K-9, the Doctor Who pack also comes complete with a brand new level, the 'Space and Time Adventure'. In a nice twist, should you manage to get beaten up in the level, the defeated Doctor will fall to pieces, before promptly regenerating as the 1 st Doctor, all the way up to the 12 th Doctor again, each time you die. The interior of his TARDIS can be customised to reflect any of the Doctor's unique styles, while a jukebox inside can serenade you with the various renditions of the Doctor Who theme music. And to top it all off, both the TARDIS and K-9 models can be rebuilt into three entirely different forms for even more space-travelling variety. 

The Simpsons

Another pack Warner Bros. seem to be keeping schtum about, the Simpson's themed 'Springfield Adventure' level pack includes a figure of Homer Simpson, along with a minikit of his car and a device called the Taunt-o-Vision. Seemingly invented solely for the purpose of the game, the Taunt-o-Vision is Homer's own personal gadget, and seems to essentially be a TV, showing The Itchy & Scratchy show. With a bit of an obtuse name, exactly what it does remains a bit of a mystery - is it simply a way for Homer to amuse himself? Perhaps it distracts enemies? Or perhaps it summons the uber-violent cartoon duo of Itchy and Scratchy to give the bad guys a beating? 

Live out Homer's dream of a married life driving "around in a van solving mysteries" with Lego Dimensions!

Now, this one was a bit of a surprise - if you'd asked us to come up with a list of potential Lego worlds for Lego Dimensions, a stage based on the 'first-person puzzler', Portal, wouldn't have been in it. Coming with a figure of perpetual test subject, Chell, the legendary Companion Cube and one of those pesky Sentry Turrets (Hellooooooo? Is anyone there? Target lost...), you'll be thinking with portals all through the included 'Aperture Science Facility Adventure' level. If it's anything like the subject material, expect a brain-bending puzzle stage, where you need to solve all kinds of physics-based problems with the aid of your portal gun - or, if you feel like it, with Lord of the Rings' beardy dwarf Gimli riding around in the duck-shaped Cloud Cuckoo Car. 

Fun Packs & Team Packs

But it wouldn't be much of a 'toys to life' game without umpteen figures to buy - characters, vehicles, weapons and more from dozens of franchises collide in Lego Dimensions' 'Team Packs', which pack two minifigures and two vehicles/gadgets, and 'Fun Packs', with just one figure and a vehicle/gadget. And, by the way, did you know that every vehicle in Lego Dimensions can be built and rebuilt into three different possible configurations, giving you several different modes of transport in one!

Still More To Come?

Doing a bit of Sherlock Holmes-style sleuthing that the man himself would have been proud of, we headed onto the official Lego Dimensions website, where we came across two franchises that have been mentioned by name/logo only, with no more details given. The first is Ghostbusters, which doesn't really need that much of an introduction - because when there's something strange in your neighbourhood, you know who you're going to call. Expect plenty of paranormal activity, ectoplasm, and ghost-sucking vacuum cleaners with everyone's favourite Ghostbusting team when it comes (presumably) later this year.

The second however is a bit of an unusual one - something called 'Midway Arcade'. The now defunct games company, Midway, were perhaps best known for their coin-op arcade machines that included everything from Pac-Man to Joust to Gauntlet, and oodles more besides. It seems a bit of an odd choice for the block-building mega mash-up Lego Dimensions, but still - perhaps it'll give rise to some Xzibit-style 'Yo Dawg! We heard you like games...' mission, where your Lego-y game characters have to go inside some other games to... do something or other, presumably linked to saving the world. Or maybe there's simply an arcade area in the main hub area where you can kick back with a few rounds of Root Beer Tapper instead.

We can ride a velociraptor? Sold.

The folks behind the game have specifically stated that they don't plan on releasing a Lego Dimensions 2 any time soon, instead focussing on releasing more and more expansions as time goes on, "for years to come". All the Level Packs, Fun Packs and Team Packs mentioned above are just for this year, with more still to be announced before launch - and then there's loads more to come next year and potentially the year after too, giving Lego Dimensions the potential to be a humongous game. We just hope the expansions are substantial enough to keep you playing for long enough, given that they claim to be an "all new game level" - singular.

Lego Dimensions hits all major platforms (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and Wii U) later this year, on the 29 th September. It's looking to be quite a pricey launch though, with the Starter Pack retailing for somewhere between £89.99 and £99.99, with Level Packs and Team Packs at £29.99 a pop and Fun Packs at £14.99! We don't know about you, but we better start saving!

Frequently Asked Questions

[WORK-IN-PROGRESS: Guide will be updated daily!]

Question: What is LEGO Dimensions?

Answer: LEGO Dimensions 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 center 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 civilization. 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 realize 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.

Question: What do you need to get started?

Answer: The LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack is all players need to begin – build the base and embark on a fantastic quest. Included in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack:

– LEGO Dimensions videogame – LEGO Toy Pad portal – Bricks to build the LEGO Gateway – 3 LEGO minifigures (Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle) – LEGO Batmobile vehicle

Build the minifigure heroes and fire-up the game to start the experience, then follow the in-game build instructions to assemble the loose bricks into the LEGO Gateway, and place the structure on the LEGO Toy Pad. Expand the adventure by collecting more minifigures, vehicles, gadgets, and new levels with the purchase of three different types of expansion packs. Use whatever minifigure with whichever vehicle or gadget – go ahead… break the rules!

Question: What are the key game features?

• An Extreme Cross-Over. For the first time in any LEGO videogame, characters from a mix of some of the best brands in the universe join forces and battle in worlds outside of their own. A Dark Knight, a Wizard, and a LEGO Master Builder traveling together down the Yellow Brick Road is just the beginning…
• Keep Expanding. By purchasing additional expansion packs, players can grow their collection with a variety of their favorite brands to create even more crazy combinations. Grow your LEGO Dimensions adventure with Level Packs, Team Packs, and Fun Packs.
• Discover Adventure Worlds. Each of the brands in LEGO Dimensions has its own unique Adventure World where players can explore, go on quests, race, and collect studs and bricks. There are in total 14 Adventure Worlds that can be unlocked to add even more gameplay, and each world can be unlocked with any LEGO Dimensions minifigure belonging to that brand. With the Starter Pack, players can instantly access 3 — DC Comics (with Batman), The Lord of the Rings (with Gandalf), and The LEGO Movie (with Wyldstyle). And just like the levels in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack, any character can use any vehicle or gadget in any Adventure World.
• More is Better. Bring up to seven minifigures, vehicles and/or gadgets into the game all at once by dropping them on the LEGO Toy Pad for the most exciting and action-filled game around.
• 3-in-1 Building. Build and then rebuild to power-up every vehicle and gadget. Each can be built a total of three times providing super-charged, in-game abilities with each upgrade.
• The LEGO Toy Pad Does More. It lights-up, flashes and even changes color to give players clues as to where to go, what to look for, or how to solve a puzzle. Gamers command the action – where and when the physical toys are moved on the LEGO Toy Pad will impact what happens in the game.
• Play Alone or with a Friend. Players can let imagination guide their solo journey or have a friend join the adventure with co-operative, drop-in/drop-out play.
• he Starter Pack Will Last. The LEGO Toy Pad and the videogame found in the initial Starter Pack will offer continued compatibility with future Expansion Packs for years to come. Like any LEGO building set, LEGO Dimensions is a system of play that offers continued compatibility – everything bought today or expanded with tomorrow will continue to work.

Question: Your question?

Answer: …

This FAQ section is reserved to answer the most asked questions from the comments.

Welcome to our 100% complete Lego Dimensions walkthrough!

100% means that using this walkthrough and our location guides (listed above), you will see how to solve all puzzles, get all characters & vehicles unlocked, and see where to find all Minikits, Red Bricks, Gold Bricks, as well as where to rescue all Minifigs in Peril’s. You are a true hero after all!

Your voice-over guide through all the levels will be Brian. Let’s have some family-friendly fun and a brick-smashing good time! 😀

Building The Toy Pad Portal:

Brian and his son Rhyse unbox and build the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack #71171. The Lego Dimensions Starter Pack is a 269 piece set and includes The Lego Toy Pad Dimensions Portal, 3 Minifigures (Batman, Wildstyle and Gandalf), and the Batmobile. The Lego Dimensions Starter Pack sells for $100 / €100 / £85 at most retailers.

Prologue Cutscene:

During the first 15 minutes of Lego Dimensions, we get introduced to the 3 heroes (Batman, Gandalf and Wildstyle) and learn how to use the Toy Pad, not to mention how to build the Lego Batmobile that comes in the Dimensions Starter Pack.

Level 1 Starts:

Our heroes take an inter-dimensional trip to the world of the Wizard of Oz! 🙂

With Lego Dimensions now started, in the second level we get to visit The Simpsons city of Springfield, where you’ll be playing out an episode of the show in cel-shaded cartoon style and everything.

By finishing this level you’ll obtain the Chroma Keystone, which allows new Toy Pad capabilities.

As we continue the story, we have some work to do in the Lego Ninjago world, as we continue chasing the Chroma Keystone that allows new Toy Pad capabilities.

Level 4: A Dalektable Adventure (Doctor Who)

The fourth level is where we get to travel with the Tardis, yes indeed it’s the Doctor Who level. The Doctor drops our friends off near to where another Keystone is. Too bad he doesn’t stick around to help us defeat HIS enemies (unless of course you bought his minifigure, but we’re first playing through the game with our 3 Starter Kit heroes).

In the fifth level we find ourselves using the Scale Keystone, which allows Minifigure size Toy Pad capabilities, as well as playing in a few key areas of Metropolis city with some Lord of the Rings twists thanks to a visit by Sauron.

Brick Interaction Tips: – Cyberman has a special combo-ability for Dive & Hacking no single other character has. – Characters that can fly like Wonder Woman and Wicked Witch can skip difficult sections/puzzles by flying past/over them, the flying ability (be it from a character or a vehicle) also makes it easy to collect Red Bricks that are normally out of reach. – You need heat-based attacks like Superman’s heat/laser vision to destroy Gold LEGO objects. – Super strength characters can destroy or manipulate LEGO objects that normal characters can’t. – Homer’s burp can shatter Blue LEGO Glass. To use, hold the X button on Xbox systems / hold the Square button on PlayStation systems / hold the Y button on Nintendo systems.

Lego Dimensions Walkthrough continues on Page 2 with Level 6: Once Upon A Time Machine in the West (Back To The Future).

Lego Dimensions complete character guide – every Year One character reviewed

Because Year Two introduces a whole bunch of new franchises to the mix, a lot of players will be getting into Lego Dimensions for the first time.

With that in mind, I’ve put together this enormous guide to all 46 characters released during the game’s first year: that’s the 44 main ones and the two limited edition characters Green Arrow and Supergirl.

This guide is not just the result of me pulling together information from a FAQ located elsewhere. As you can see by the header photo above, I genuinely own every Lego Dimensions Year One character and 99% of the screens you see below were captured by me (the only exception is Marty McFly’s main image, because for reason I forgot to take that one and I got lazy).

And, as ever, you have the Tired Old Hack one-page promise. I could have easily put this article on 46 different pages and made you click through them all but that’s no fun for you. The entire text of this article can be found on this very page, and the only time you’ll need to click is if you want to see an image bigger.

Given the child-friendly nature of the game too, this article doesn’t have my usual colourful language. It should be safe for your children to read either alone or with you.

Finally, each character has a link to their Amazon UK page. If this review is useful to you in any way and convinces you to buy a character, please buy it using the link provided (assuming you can’t find it cheaper anywhere else, of course). It won’t cost you any extra and I’ll get a few pence (literally) to help me maintain the site.

That said, this is a looooong article so pour yourself a hot or cold drink (your choice) and enjoy!

ACU Trooper

Voice actor: Robert Atkin Downes (original dialogue)

Abilities: Electricity, Illumination

Who is he? This generic chap is one of Jurassic World’s security guards. He’s in charge of keeping the dinosaurs under control with his electric prod thingy. In case you were curious, ACU stands for ‘Asset Containment Unit’.

Notable interactions: • To Bart Simpson: “Just because I’m not a guard here doesn’t mean I’m not watching you, kid.” • To Cyberman: “You know, if you need a recharge, my stun rod can put out 30,000 volts.”

Gadget: Gyrosphere:  One of the large ball-shaped vehicles from Jurassic World . It can activate special Ball Switches, which can’t be activated any other way.

Review: At first glance, the ACU Trooper isn’t really a massively useful character, but he is an essential one if you want to 100% the game.

Of his two abilities, his electricity one is the most useful since only two other characters (The Joker and Jay) have it. Although he can also use his prod to illuminate dark areas, Starter Pack character Gandalf can already do this.

It’s actually the Gyrosphere vehicle that makes ACU an essential character, though, because it’s the only vehicle in the game that can activate Ball Switches. While these are few and far between, it does mean you need him to 100% the game.

Buy him: The ACU Trooper and his Gyrosphere come in the Jurassic World Team Pack along with Owen Grady and his Velociraptor.

Voice actor: Brian Bloom (original dialogue)

Abilities: Atlantis, Dive, Plant Growth, Hazard Cleanup

Who is he? Aquaman is a DC superhero who has the ability to talk to aquatic animals. This has made him a bit of a joke figure to many comic fans. Brian Bloom, who voices Aquaman in this game, is also the voice of Kane in the Kane & Lynch games.

Notable interactions: • (singing to Emmet) “Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you live in the sea.” • (to Homer Simpson) “I wonder if this fellow knows anything about that three-eyed fish I saw earlier.”

Gadget: Aqua Watercraft: A submarine which can be upgraded to two other submarine designs.

It doesn’t do a hell of a lot other than go underwater, and since Aquaman can already do that it’s fairly useless unless you decide you want to send a non-swimming character into the sea for a laugh.

He’s the only character in the game with the ‘Atlantis’ ability – which lets him summon fish to clear certain obstacles – thereby making it impossible to 100% the game without him.

He’s also only one of two characters (along with Krusty) who can make plants grow with his water spray, and only one of three (with Krusty and Slimer) who can clear up toxic waste.

If you’re looking to 100% the game with as few characters as possible, you’ll definitely need Aquaman but getting him also ensures you don’t need Krusty or Slimer.

Buy him: Aquaman and his Aqua Watercraft come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Liam Neeson (archive dialogue)

Abilities: Laser, Relic Detection, Targeting

Who is he? Bad Cop is one of the main antagonists in The Lego Movie. Working for Lord Business, it’s his job to get ‘the special’ from Emmet and WildStyle. In this game, though, he’s one of the good guys. As in The Lego Movie, the minifig for this one has two facial expressions, which can be switched by turning his head: one for Bad Cop and one for his alter-ego Good Cop.

Notable interactions: • (when getting in the Police Car) “Ruh roh, it’s the bad guys” • (to Emmet) “Playing dumb, Master Builder?”

Gadget: Police Car: Initially a standard car vehicle with the same abilities as the Batmobile, it can eventually upgrade to two different types of plane.

Review: Bad Cop’s a fairly generic character with a shooting ability and not much else.

His Relic Detection ability is almost unique, in that he’s only one of two characters who has it. The problem is, the other character is Wyldstyle and she comes with the Starter Park so unless you’re a proper woman-hater you don’t really need Bad Cop to 100% the game.

You should only be getting him if you want to collect all the figures or you’re a big Lego Movie fan.

Buy him: Bad Cop and his Police Car come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Steve Blum (original dialogue)

Abilities: Big Transform, Super Strength

Who is he? Bane is a DC Comics villain and one of Batman’s nemeses. He was the main villain in the hit movie The Dark Knight Rises, though thankfully his voice isn’t all distorted and impossible to understand in Lego Dimensions.

Notable interactions: • (to Doc Brown) “I don’t need a time-travelling vehicle to know how glorious Gotham’s future will be under my rule.” • (to Shaggy) “Why are you so scared, Mr Rogers? I thought you would be used to people wearing masks.”

Gadget: Drill Driver: Bane’s vehicle is a little car with a hefty drill on the end of it.

Predictably, this lets you both drill into walls and dig holes, which is useful if you don’t have either Emmet or Scooby-Doo.

Its first upgrade also gives it a towbar ability and its second lets it destroy silver blocks, but these are fairly widespread abilities so it’s really all about the drilling and digging.

Whereas this makes some of the others big lumbering brutes, Bane doesn’t suffer any sluggishness when he transforms into his larger self.

Instead, he actually gains a decent increase in speed, meaning you’ll probably be playing as his big form for the most part and not just transforming to it when you have to break something.

He’s also got a beast of a jumping elbow drop move in this form, which carves up the ground in front of him and is really useful when facing a bunch of enemies. On top of all this, he’s immune to any hazardous waste you come across.

Not an essential character then, but one who’s fun to control in situations where a lot of hand-to-hand combat is necessary.

Buy him: Bane and his Drill Driver come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Bart Simpson

Voice actor: None

Abilities: Mini Access, Targeting

Who is he? Bart is the eldest child in the Simpson family, the big brother to Lisa and Maggie. He’s eight years old, and has been for the past 27 years. He’s also the only character in the game who talks in their franchise but doesn’t in Lego Dimensions.

Gadget: Gravity Sprinter: Bart’s main vehicle is a kart which seems to be at least partly based on his Li’l Lightnin’ one from the show.

In its standard form it can’t do anything beyond driving on accelerator switches (which the Starter Pack’s Batmobile can do anyway), but it can be upgraded to a bigger car that can pull tow bar handles, as well as a flying ship which can grab cargo hooks.

Review: Bart is a perfectly fine character to play as but he’s severely hindered (at least in terms of general entertainment) by the fact that he doesn’t actually have any dialogue.

Whether this is a rights issue with Fox or voice actor Nancy Cartwright isn’t quite known – though the fact the game’s Simpsons levels don’t have the official music either suggests the former – but either way it’s a massive letdown for a character whose cheeky quips and one-liners are such a huge part of what makes him so popular.

As such, what should be one of the most entertaining characters in the game ends up being an underwhelming, almost generic offering, even despite his relatively rare ability to enter small doors (something only shared by Gimli, Gollum and Slimer).

The toy’s still cool, mind, and his included vehicle is fun once you upgrade it a couple of times.

Buy him: Bart and his Gravity Sprinter come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Troy Baker (original dialogue)

Abilities: Boomerang, Grapple, Stealth

Who is he? A DC Comics superhero who doesn’t actually have any super powers but is somehow really good at making gadgets and not being shot. Which is more than can be said for his parents.

His voice actor Troy Baker is better known for his other video game voice work. He’s starred as Joel in The Last Of Us, Booker DeWitt in Bioshock Infinite and, ironically, Batman’s enemy The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins.

Notable interactions: • (to Bart Simpson) “Hmm, could this child be the elusive Bartman? No, that’s not possible.” • (to Krusty) “Joker! What villainy are you… oh,sorry. Wrong clown.”

Gadget: Batmobile: One of the coolest cars in history, the Batmobile comes as standard with the Starter Pack.

Other vehicles have more abilities but as it’s your first it’s probably also the one you’ll fully upgrade first, and once you do it becomes a beast for racing challenges and the like.

Review: It’s a good job Batman is one of the best characters in the game because you’re stuck with him as Starter Pack character whether you like him or not.

The entire Story Mode (extra collectibles aside) can be completed with just him, Wyldstyle and Gandalf, and there are plenty of puzzles in the various Adventure Worlds that he’s capable of solving.

His three abilities are also ones that are only shared by a couple of other characters, be it hitting boomerang switches, pulling grapple switches or using stealth to escape lasers.

As such, he’s likely to be a regular member of your roster, partly because he’s useful but mainly because he’s Batman.

Buy him: No need! Batman’s already part of the main Starter Pack .

Voice actor: Charlie Day (original dialogue)

Abilities: Hacking, Master Building, Sonar Smash, Targeting

Who is he? Benny is a character in The Lego Movie. A little bit crazy, he’s always obsessed with building spaceships out of Lego bricks.

Benny is actually a bashed-up version of a real Lego minifig from the ‘80s called Blue Classic Spaceman, but his helmet is a bit cracked and is leaking oxygen, which explains his slightly zany nature.

Technically, then, Benny is a Lego figure based on a movie character based on a Lego figure.

Notable interactions: • (to Gamer Kid) “You’re my kind of guy! Let’s talk all about the ‘80s.” • (when idle) “Everything is spaceship, everything is cool when you’re building a spaceship.”

Gadget: Benny’s Spaceship: The infamous “SPACESHIP!” from The Lego Movie, Benny’s ship is fairly bogstandard as far as flying vehicles go in the game.

Neither of these are unique abilities, so you won’t be flying the spaceship because you need to. However, there’s a good chance you’ll fly it because you want to, because it’s still a nifty retro-looking ship.

Review: Benny is one of only four characters (along with Doc Brown, Cyberman and The Doctor) who can hack terminals. However, since you’d need The Doctor to unlock the Doctor Who level pack, that means Benny isn’t an essential character.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t still worth getting though, because if you’re a fan of The Lego Movie you already know Benny’s going to be a fun character to play as.

His walking animation is hilarious – he takes big massive, floaty steps as if he was walking on the moon – and he’s got loads of brilliant new dialogue.

He may not necessarily be a vital part of your team, then, but you’ll probably end up keeping him around sometimes anyway just because he lightens the mood.

Buy him: Benny and his spaceship come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Abilities: Acrobat, Portal Gun

Who is she? Chell is the mute protagonist of both Portal games, in which she has to get through a number of puzzle-filled rooms while being antagonised by an evil AI called GLaDOS.

Not only does Chell appear as a playable character in Lego Dimensions, she also comes with her own Portal 2 Level Pack, which is a treat for Portal fans. Here’s my full review.

Notable interactions: None (Chell doesn’t speak)

Gadget 1: Companion Cube: Chell’s little polyhedron pal does a whole load of nothing. Even when you upgrade it to its Laser Deflector version all it does is, well, block lasers.

So what’s the point of it? Well, the Companion Cube is the only object in the entire game that can trigger special switches on certain levels. Without the Companion Cube, you can’t 100% complete the game. So hooray for it.

Gadget 2: Sentry Turret: Chell’s second gadget is a little more useful in general gameplay. In the Portal 2 level it comes with, its guns are used to trigger switches and keep them active while you run off and do other tasks.

Naturally, outwith that level these guns are used to fend off any enemies that approach you. Upgrade it to the Turret Striker and it can also run around and punch opponents too.

Finally, upgrade it to the Flying Turret Carrier and it turns into a flying vehicle, letting you soar around firing missiles at things. This final form isn’t massively unique, but its other forms make it a useful assistant when faced with large groups of enemies.

The portal gun also works as a standard weapon outside of these situations, but it isn’t a very powerful one. And her athletic ability is also shared by Starter Pack character Wyldstyle so it’s not one you’ll be calling on her for too often.

Still, because she’s such a unique character with an ability (and a Cube) that no other character in the game has, she’s still absolutely essential when it comes to completing the game 100%.

Buy her: Chell comes in the Portal 2 Level Pack along with the Companion Cube, Sentry Turret and a new level based on Portal 2. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Roger Craig Smith (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Laser Deflection, Spinjitsu, Stealth, Super Strength

Who is he? • Cole is one of seven Lego Ninjago characters in the game. He’s the Black Ninja of Earth, and is a master of Spinjistu and Airjitsu. This apparently means he can control wind, which I promise you isn’t a bowel condition or anything.

Notable interactions: • (getting in the Batmobile) “This is my kinda vehicle. Great colour, too.” • (to Gamer Kid) “This isn’t just a game, kid. This is real.”

Gadget: Boulder Bomber: A fighter jet with a massive gatling gun attached to the end of it. Not exactly the stealthy ninja style, but I’m sure you won’t mind too much when you’re unleashing bullet hell on enemies.

It upgrades to the Boulder Blaster (which can destroy silver objects) and the Cyclone Jet (which can’t, but does have a cyclone attack).

Unlike his ninja brethren (and, um, sisteren) though, Cole also has the Super Strength ability, which means he can grab massive objects and throw them.

While this opportunity only pops up a few times in the game, you can make use of it whenever you want by holding the X / Square button, which causes him to pull a large boulder out of the ground no matter where you’re standing.

This makes him very useful when battling large groups of enemies from a distance.

Buy him: Cole and his Boulder Bomber come in a Ninjago Team Pack along with Kai and his Blade Bike.

Voice actor: John Gegenhuber (original dialogue)

Abilities: Chi, Dive, Super Strength

Who is he? Cragger is one of three Lego Chima characters in the game. He’s the Prince of the Crocodile Tribe (not Paul Hogan, as ‘80s filmgoers would have you believe).

He may look tough but he’s only a young lad still coming to terms with the fact his parents fell off a cliff. Ooft, Lego cartoons are properly harsh.

Notable interactions: • (to Batman) “Hmm. You don’t look like any bats I know.” • (to Scooby-Doo) “Um, are you a legend beast?”

Gadget: Swamp Skimmer: The Swamp Skimmer is an odd vehicle, and not just because it’s shaped like a big crocodile head.

As a boat its only real use is for travelling quickly on the surface of water, which makes it useful for a handful of Adventure World checkpoint races and not much else.

It’s only when you upgrade it again to the Croc Command Sub that it can actually dive underwater and truly become a useful little boat with the ability to blow up silver blocks.

Review: Cragger is one of three Lego Chima characters in the game, and if you only have to buy one of them this should be the one you go for.

All three Chima characters – Cragger, Eris and Laval – have the Chi ability, which lets them absorb Chi from enemies and special fountains then use that stored Chi to open special doors.

It goes without saying that you need at least one Chima figure, then, so you can get through these doors. However, one or two of these doors are underwater, and Cragger is the only Chima character who can swim.

As a result, Cragger is that rarest of beasts – a character you absolutely need to complete the game 100%.

His voice is really annoying though.

Buy him: Cragger and his Swamp Skimmer come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Nicholas Briggs (original dialogue)

Abilities: Dive, Drone, Flying, Hacking, Mind Control, Silver Destruction, Technology, X-Ray Vision

Who is he? The Cybermen used to be human beings, but they were turned into emotionless robots and made to track down other humans to convert.

This particular Cyberman isn’t special in any way, though given he’s joined the cause as a playable character he must be a good guy for some reason.

Notable interactions: • (to Homer) “You are incompatible for upgrade. We do not stock Cyber armour in your size.” • (to Cyborg) “Scans detect your Cyber armour is cooler than mine. Where did you get it?” • (when riding a Velociraptor) “I will convert this into a Cybersaurus Rex.”

Gadget: Dalek: The iconic Doctor Who baddie arrives in Lego Dimensions as a ridable vehicle. Well, I say ridable, you just sort of sit on its back.

Finally, upgrade it again to the Silver Shooter Dalek and, as the name suggests, it can blow up silver Lego bricks.

Review: With a list of abilities as long as Elton John’s address book, it should immediately be clear that Cyberman is a useful character to have around.

No fewer than four of his abilities – Drone, Mind Control, Technology and X-Ray Vision – are considered rare and only shared by one or two other characters.

While he isn’t necessary to complete the game 100% then, having him in your roster eliminates the need for Doc Brown, Superman and Wonder Woman because he has all their rare skills combined.

Add to that his ability to swim underwater, destroy silver blocks and fly and you’ve got someone who should really be a permanent fixture in your roster purely for the wide range of situations he can help in.

Buy him: Cyberman and his Dalek come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Bumper Robinson (original dialogue)

Abilities: Big Transform, Dive, Laser, Super Strength, Target

Who is he? Real name Victor Stone, Cyborg is part of the Justice League along with Batman, Superman and the like.

The son of scientists Silas and Elinore Stone, Victor was attacked when an experiment with an inter-dimensional portal went wrong and a giant monster emerged, killing his mum (what is it with all the parent deaths?) and mutilating him.

To save his life, Victor’s dad adds a number of experimental prosthetics to his body, turning him into Cyborg.

Notable interactions: • (to Marty McFly) “It must be cool to travel through time. Don’t suppose you’ve got next week’s lottery numbers?” • (to Cyberman) “Hey man, I appreciate the unintended tribute but turning people into things like me is not cool.”

Gadget: Cyber-Guard: A bloody massive mech you climb inside and use to plough your way through the level, smashing into everything.

Its enormous size, destructive ability and high speed make it particularly useful in Adventure Worlds when you’re trying to collect enough studs to trigger the ‘rule breaker’ gold brick.

It can upgrade to the Cyber-Wrecker, which gains digging and super strength powers as well as the ability to blow up silver Lego bricks. Meanwhile its third upgrade, the Laser Robot Walker, does what it says on the tin by adding a laser.

It’s really its original mech form that’s most useful though.

Review: Cyborg may not be one of the most well-known DC superheroes but that doesn’t mean he isn’t entertaining to play as.

At first glance it seems like he may be needed to 100% the game – as the only character who can both dive underwater and shoot targets it appears he’s needed to take out a couple of underwater targets in certain Adventure Worlds.

However, most underwater vehicles can actually have the targeting ability added with an upgrade, meaning Cyborg isn’t essential after all. Ah well.

His Cyber-Guard mech gadget is also a bit pointless because by holding the B/Circle button, you can transform Cyborg into an equally massive mech version of himself, with even more firepower. Of course, any other character can jump into the Cyber-Guard, so it’s more for them.

Despite all the above rendering him unnecessary when it comes to completing the game 100%, Cyborg is still a fun character nonetheless and his gadget is still great for other characters. It’s always handy to have a spare mech for a friend.

Buy him: Cyborg and his Cyber-Guard come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Christopher Lloyd (original dialogue)

Abilities: Drone, Fix-It, Hacking, Technology

Who is he? Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown PhD is the eccentric scientist from the Back To The Future movies. It’s Doc who comes up with the idea of turning a DeLorean into a time machine and gets his young friend Marty McFly mixed up in all manner of time-based adventures. He’s a kook, basically.

Notable interactions: • (to Chell) “A portable personal transportation device? Incredible! You must let me take a look at it!” • (to Cyborg) “You look like one of my own inventions. Did I make you in the future and send you back to save me?” • (to Marty) “Marty my boy, it’s good to have you with me.”

Gadget: Travelling Time Train: If only all gadgets were so self-explanatory. The Travelling Time Train is a train that can travel through time.

Specifically, it serves the same purpose as Marty’s DeLorean in that it can trigger the time travel treadmills that are dotted around the Back To The Future bonus level and Adventure World.

Finally, upgrading it again to the Missile Blast Time Train keeps its power of flight but also adds the ability to fire missiles that destroy silver Lego blocks.

Review: Doc is relatively useful in that all of his abilities are rare.

Only three other characters (The Doctor, Cyberman and Benny) can hack into terminals and only three others (The Doctor, Emmet and Jay) can fix broken electrical equipment.

What’s more, only two others (The Doctor and Cyberman) can use the Technology ability to activate certain panels, and only one other (Cyberman) can use a drone to enter special tunnels.

This makes him a handy character to have around, especially if you aren’t much of a Doctor Who fan and as such don’t have The Doctor or Cyberman around.

Indeed, if you plan on completing the game 100% one day, you’re going to need either Doc Brown or Cyberman for that drone ability. Great Scott, indeed.

Buy him: Doc Brown and his Travelling Time Train come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actors: Peter Capaldi (original dialogue); William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, John Hurt (all archive dialogue)

Abilities: Fix-It, Hacking, Technology, Sonar Smash

Who is he? ‘Who’ indeed. The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who, after nicking a time machine to explore the universe has been finding himself in all manner of scrapes for the past 50-odd Earth years.

Notable interactions: • (to Scooby-Doo) “I prefer dogs of the robot variety myself. They’re not all slobbery, and can talk properly.” • (to Doc Brown) “You may be A doctor, but I’m THE Doctor. The definitive article, you might say.” • (to Peter Venkman) “Who you gonna call? Judging by the state of your uniform I’d suggest a dry cleaner.”

Most notably though, it can also land on unique TARDIS docks and transport you to other dimensions, making it essential for beating the game 100%.

While most of these docks can be found in the Level Pack included with The Doctor, there are also docks in the two Simpsons levels – the Starter Pack one and the Level Pack that comes with Homer – that take you to the Flintstones’ and Jetsons’ homes respectively.

Given the iconic look of the TARDIS its upgrades barely change its appearance, and its new abilities are minimal as a result. The Laser-Pulse TARDIS is the first upgrade, letting you fire a laser that can destroy gold bricks.

Meanwhile, the Energy-Burst TARDIS lets you hold the attack button to charge an energy burst, letting you attack enemies while safe inside.

Believe it or not, K-9 is actually a bloody good vehicle. He’s surprisingly fast, almost as much as some cars, but with the added benefit of tighter control. He’s also got an effective gun that not only destroys silver Lego bricks but also has a quick fire rate, letting you cause carnage as you blast your way through enemies and scenery.

Upgrade him to the K-9 Ruff Rover and he gains a Sonar Smash ability which lets him shatter glass, though this is only properly useful if you aren’t playing as the Doctor, who can already do this with his Sonic Screwdriver.

A further upgrade to K-9 Laser Cutter turns him into a makeshift laser turret which can destroy gold blocks and cut through gold walls.

Review: The Doctor’s main tool is his Sonic Screwdriver: he can use it to fix broken contraptions, shatter glass, hack computers and interact with control panels.

Since most of these are rare abilities only shared with a couple of characters in the game, this makes The Doctor a really useful member to have in your roster. Or should I say ‘members’.

You see, once you beat the special level he comes with for the first time, you unlock the Doctor’s ability to regenerate. Fantastically, this means all 13 incarnations of the Doctor are playable, with him regenerating into the next Doctor in the sequence each time he dies.

Or, if you’d rather, by entering the TARDIS you can specify a specific Doctor to play as and ‘lock’ him in, ensuring he sticks around even when he pegs it.

The attention to detail here is ridiculous. Buying this level pack essentially gives you 13 new characters and none of them are half-hearted efforts.

They all have their own dialogue (all taken from archive episodes), and they all have their own animations perfectly expressing their unique personalities.

Even better, they all have their own TARDIS design, the hub changing accordingly any time you enter it with the corresponding Doctor.

Long story short, if you’re a Doctor Who fan of any generation, this is practically as essential a purchase as the Starter Pack itself.

Buy him: The Doctor comes in a Level Pack along with the TARDIS, K-9 and a new Doctor Who level. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Chris Pratt (original dialogue)

Abilities: Drill, Fix-It, Master Building

Who is he? The main character in The Lego Movie, Emmet is a happy-go-lucky builder who soon discovers he’s actually ‘The Special’, the one who will lead the resistance against the evil Lord Business.

Notable interactions: • (to Owen Grady, also voiced by Chris Pratt) “There’s something awfully familiar about you, mister dino wrangler man. I feel like we’ve met before.” • (to Wyldstyle) “Hey Lucy! Wait. Uh, am I alright to call you Lucy? Do people know? Oh man, I put my foot in it, didn’t I?”

Gadget: Emmet’s Excavator: Since he’s a construction worker it should come as no surprise that Emmet’s vehicle of choice is a big digger.

Naturally, this means it has the ability to dig into certain patches of the ground to find the goodies hidden within them. Only one character (Scooby-Doo) and a handful of other vehicles can do this so it’s relatively useful to have around.

Review: Just as in The Lego Movie, Emmet is a humble little character who holds an important amount of power.

Specifically, he is the only character in the game with the ability to drill through cracked tiles and find the hidden areas behind them.

Only one other vehicle – Bane’s Drill Driver – is able to do this, meaning if you aren’t fussed about Bane then Emmet is a must-have character.

This ability aside he’s a fun enough character to play as. His dialogue is funny and he’s just generally nice to have around, especially if you saw and loved The Lego Movie like I did.

Buy him: Emmet and his Excavator come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Julie Wittner (original dialogue)

Abilities: Chi, Flying, Super Strength, Target

Who is she? Eris is an Eagle Tribe warrior. Not just any warrior, I’ll have you know, but the princess of the entire ruddy Eagle Tribe. She likes a good adventure and she’s got brains as well as brawn. She’s basically the Ronda Rousey of the eagle world.

Notable interactions: • (to The Joker) “Hey, I like jokes too! What’s your favourite?” • (to Superman) “How do you fly without wings?”

Gadget: Eagle Interceptor: Eris’s vehicle undoubtedly looks cool, since it’s a bloody big eagle you can ride on top of.

The problem is, its main feature is its ability to fly, and since Eris can fly already this leaves it a bit redundant (unless you use it with a different non-flying character, of course).

Still, it’s a giant eagle you can ride on, so there’s that.

Review: Eris is an interesting one in that she’s better in the air than she is on the ground.

On foot her axe, while hefty, isn’t too great for combat. Most of her attacks are forward stabs instead of swings, so unless an enemy is right in front of you you’ll probably miss. Even her jumping attack, which makes a massive earthquake split the ground, only doe so in a straight line.

Take her to the skies with her flying ability, though, and the situation changes drastically. In the air she can shoot fireballs at enemies and obstacles. These automatically target the enemy, instantly turning her from one of the worst fighters in the game to one of the most effective.

In terms of her other abilities, while she can open Chi doors like the other two Chima characters, only Cragger can open a specific underwater one at one point in the game. As such, if you only want to buy one Chima character (to unlock that Adventure World) it should still be Cragger.

Buy her: Eris and her Eagle Interceptor come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Josh Keaton (original dialogue)

Abilities: Invulnerability, Laser, Speed, Stealth, Super Strength

Who is he? One of only two ‘original’ Lego Dimensions roster members not based on any actual characters (along with the ACU Trooper from Jurassic World), Gamer Kid is a massive fan of retro gaming from the ‘80s.

Notable interactions: • (to Chell) “So, is it ‘Shell’ or ‘Chell’? Okay, silent type I guess.” • (to Marty McFly) “Shouldn’t you be collecting clocks?”

Gadget 1: Arcade Machine – Of Gamer Kid’s two gadgets the Arcade Machine is the most important because, like the TARDIS, it’s the only way of activating a certain gameplay mechanic, making it essential for completing the game 100%.

This is really its sole function in this form. You can ride it and upgrade it to fire bullets but it moves so slowly you might as well not bother – it only really moves so you can navigate it into arcade docks easier.

Upgrade it to the 8-Bit Shooter and things get a bit more interesting. You lose the arcade game functionality but you gain a funky wee flying ship you can use to gun down enemies from above.

Upgrade it again to The Pixelator and it becomes less useful. It’s a turret gun that does little more than gun down enemies. One nice touch, though, is that when you shoot enemies with it they die with a jerky 8-bit style animation.

Gadget 2: G-6155 Spy Hunter – Gamer Kid’s other bundled goodie is a vehicle, namely the titular car from Midway’s Spy Hunter. As far as vehicles go, it’s actually one of the most useful in the game because it’s one of the few that can do the hat-trick and travel on land, sea and air.

When you upgrade it to the Interdiver, the car transforms into a boat (like it does in the Spy Hunter game), albeit one that can also go under the surface and explore underwater.

Finally, upgrading it again to the Aerial Spyhunter lets you take to the skies and use its laser to generally ruin bad guys’ days.

Judged on its individual parts none of this vehicle’s three forms does anything particularly unique. However, the fact it’s a jack-of-all-trades that lets you travel anywhere without having to spawn a second vehicle has made it a permanent part of my standard roster.

Review: You’d think that being an original character would make Gamer Kid one of the least entertaining characters to play as, but thankfully that isn’t quite the case.

His voice acting is a little hit or miss – since he’s a gaming obsessive he keeps dropping smart-alec, fourth-wall breaking comments (when he dies he asks: “What? No permadeath?” and when when you remove his figure from the base he shouts “Ragequit!”).

In terms of how he plays he’s got a healthy selection of abilities, though they’re a little unwieldy to access. You see, Gamer Kid can change his shirt design at will. There are five different designs and you switch between them at the press of a button.

Each design represents a different ability, so when you have the design you want, you hold the action button and he’ll drink a can of cola, which then activates that ability for a limited time.

That sounds confusing so here’s a short clip illustrating it:

The five different skills – invincibility, invisibility, super speed, super strength and laser vision – make Gamer Kid one of the more versatile Lego Dimensions characters.

Just be prepared for a lot of shirt-toggling and can-drinking.

Buy him: Gamer Kid comes in a Level Pack along with his Arcade Machine, the Spy Hunter car, a new level based on Midway Arcade games and over 20 classic arcade games. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Tom Kane (original dialogue)

Abilities: Illumination, Magic, Magic Shield

Who is he? Gandalf is a minor god (otherwise known as a Maia) who was sent to help the people of Middle-earth fight against evil.

When it comes to the Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit stories, Gandalf is always there or thereabouts.

Notable interactions: • (to the Wicked Witch) “My dear lady, you’re giving us magic-wielding folk a bad name. How about toning down the wickedness a tad?” • (to Gollum) “I daresay your search for the Ring may be more perilous now than ever before.”

Gadget: None

Review: As one of the three Starter Pack characters it goes without saying that many of the main story mode’s puzzles were put there with Gandalf in mind.

He can use magic to move certain blocks, a power only the Wicked Witch is also able to use. Since this is a very rare ability and puzzles that require magic are common in the game he’s all but essential.

He also has the ability to illuminate darkened rooms – this is a less uncommon ability and therefore is less impressive.

Sadly, his ability to use magic is also about to become far less special, as a bunch of Year 2 characters – Harry Potter and the like – will also have that power.

Still, considering you don’t need to buy him because he comes with the game, who’s complaining.

Buy him: No need, Gandalf is part of the Starter Pack .

Voice actor: John Rhys-Davies (archive dialogue)

Abilities: Mini Access, Super Strength

Who is he? Gimli is a Dwarf, albeit one with a proper heavy metal beard.

As a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, it was Gimli’s job to protect Frodo and make sure his ring wasn’t damaged. Stop sniggering, you at the back.

Notable interactions: • (when riding the Axe Chariot) “May the best dwarf win.” • (to Slimer) “Let’s find some food.”

Gadget: Axe Chariot: When Gimil shouts “YOU HAVE MY AXE” in The Fellowship Of The Ring he doesn’t follow this up with “AND I SHALL ATTACH IT TO A LITTLE CAR.”

Still, that’s what seems to have happened here, though in its standard form the Axe Chariot… well, it isn’t very axey.

Upgrading it further to the Soaring Chariot gives you maximum aximum by adding the power of flight to proceedings.

Review: Gimli may be a bad-ass character in The Lord Of The Rings but he doesn’t have an awful lot going for him in Lego Dimensions.

Granted, there aren’t many characters who can access the small hatches dotted around the game’s Adventure Worlds – only Bart, Gollum and Slimer can do it too.

But his other Super Strength ability is common among many other characters, and other than that he can’t do much else.

Strictly one for completists and Lord Of The Rings fans, then.

Buy him: Gimli and his Axe Chariot come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Liam O’Brien (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Boomerang, Dive, Mini Access

Who is he? Originally known as Smeagol, this friendly little Stoor Hobbit came across the One Ring and was corrupted by its power, gaining a second personality: the evil Gollum.

Notable interactions: • (to Scooby-Doo) “Who’s a skinny Warg, then?” • (to Aquaman) “Oh! A giant fishy! We likes the fishes. They’re tasty and juicy.” • (to Gamer Kid) “You’re not a nasty Hobbitses. You smell like one though.”

Gadget: Shelob The Great: This massive spider featured in the Lord Of The Rings movies and acts as a rideable vehicle in Lego Dimensions.

Upgrading Shelob to the 8-Legged Stalker build adds the Super Strength ability, while upgrading again to Poison Slinger lets her (you guessed it) fire poison at enemies.

In general Shelob isn’t massively useful, but the novelty factor of riding around on a giant spider can’t be ignored.

Review: Gollum’s an interesting one in that he (they?) is one of the smallest characters in the game, and only one of four who can fit in small hatches. But then, if you read the Gimli review above this one, you’d already know that.

Other than that, and the ability to swim underwater, Gollum is pretty lacking when it comes to his skillset.

Since the same goes for his ‘vehicle’, Gollum is only really a must-purchase if you’re a massive fan of The Lord Of The Rings or you plan on owning every character in the game.

Buy him: Gollum and Shelob The Great come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Green Arrow

Voice actor: Chris Hardwick (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Grapple, Pole Vault, Target

Who is he? Oliver Queen is a billionaire businessman who occasionally decides to dress up in green garb and fight crime. His weapon of choice is a bow and arrow. Although he’s currently played by Stephen Amell in the Arrow TV series, Amell doesn’t voice this version of Green Arrow. Instead he’s voiced by Chris Hardwick, the current host of The Talking Dead, who voiced Green Arrow in the animated series The Batman in the mid-2000s.

Notable interactions: • (to The Doctor) “Your friend Captain Jack Harkness, he looks kinda familiar for some reason.” (Captain Jack actor John Barrowman also plays Malcolm Marlyn in Arrow) • (to Homer) “Okay Homer, I will take you to Big Belly Burger as soon as you help me track down Hank Scorpio.”

Review: Green Arrow’s all about the combat, and long-distance combat at that.

His standard attack is, naturally, a shot from his bow and arrow, and holding down the attack button will let you target specific enemies.

Holding the special ability button, meanwhile, will let you charge up a special three-arrow attack which is effective for taking out large groups of enemies.

His other abilities are nothing special which, given how rare he currently is, is probably just as well.

Buy him: Green Arrow isn’t available to buy at the moment, you can only find him at certain events like comic conventions. If you don’t want to visit a convention to find him you’ll have to expect to pay crazy money on eBay, or wait until the craze dies down and hope either you’ll get him cheaper or he’s eventually given a normal Fun Pack release.

Harley Quinn

Voice actor: Tara Strong (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Super Strength

Who is she? Harleen Quinzel was a psychiatrist working at Arkham Asylum when she met and befriended the Joker. She’s now the Joker’s occasional partner in crime and lover.

Notable interactions: • (to Bad Cop) “Bad Cop huh? You seem like my kinda guy. Better than that Commissioner Gordon fella.” • (to Doc Brown) “Oh hey Doc! Is it time for my psych review already?” • (to The Joker) “Yay! My puddin’ Mr Jay’s here! Now it’s a party!”

Gadget: Quinn-mobile: Harley’s vehicle is a car with a massive mallet on the top of it. The physical one you build is one of the better kits in the game, because you can move the hammer from side to side.

The car itself in its standard form does little more than drive around and activate the same accelerator switches any other car can trigger.

Upgrade it again to the Missile Launcher and… look, you don’t even need me to tell you what happens next.

Review: Harley is great fun to play as. She’s fantastically animated, with a funny skipping motion when she walks and the faint sound of her hat-bells jangling as she does.

Her voice acting is also among the best in the game, which is really no surprise given she’s voiced by Tara Strong, who previously voiced Harley in Batman: Arkham City.

What she has in character though she’s missing in practicality. Harley is one of the least useful characters in the game with only two abilities to her name, one of which is already used by Starter Pack character Wyldstyle.

If you’re a Batman fan and you don’t mind having characters in your roster who are really only there for entertainment purposes rather than any real use, she’s worth a purchase.

Buy her: Harley Quinn and her Quinn-mobile come in a DC Comics Team Pack along with The Joker and his Chopper.

Homer Simpson

Voice actor: Dan Castellaneta (archive dialogue)

Abilities: Big Transform, Sonar Smash, Super Strength

Who is he? The father of the Simpson family, Homer works in a nuclear power plant but isn’t even smart enough to spell ‘nuclear’. He’s got a heart made of gold, though, not to mention a stomach made of doughnuts and pork chops.

Notable interactions: • (to Scooby-Doo) “Hey, wait a minute. There’s no such thing as a talking dog.” • (to Bart) “Why you little!”

Gadget 1: Homer’s Car: The first of homer’s two gadgets is the classic pink sedan he’s been driving ever since the show started back in the ‘80s.

In its standard form, Homer’s Car offers little more than the novelty of driving the car from The Simpsons. Its two abilities – using acceleration switches and using a tow cable to pull switches – can both be performed by the Starter Pack’s Batmobile and its upgrades, making it a bit pointless.

Upgrade it and it can change to Homercraft, a little hovercraft. In this form it’s sadly even less useful since it’s only capable of driving on the surface of water. Since almost nothing in Lego Dimensions’ Adventure Worlds happens here it’s rare you’ll need to use this often.

It’s only when it gets its second upgrade, to the SubmaHomer, that it actually becomes properly useful. Not only can it now actually dive underwater in this state, it can also fire missiles that can destroy silver Lego blocks. This is handy if you don’t already have a character who can both swim and blow up silver blocks (like Gollum or Cyberman).

Gadget 2: Taunt-o-vision: In its standard form the Taunt-O-Vision is little more than the Simpsons’ television. It has a unique ‘taunt’ ability, which acts as a decoy and draws enemies towards it, but to the best of my knowledge this only comes into play as an essential tool in the Simpsons level pack itself and so isn’t a massive deal.

It’s also got a self-destruct function which lets you blow up silver Lego bricks. That in itself is no great shakes – loads of other characters and gadgets are able to do the same – but it’s the detonation method, in which you physically take the telly off the Lego Toy Pad to blow it up, that makes it unique.

Its two upgrades make it more useful, not only adding two different weapons that can be used for many of Lego Dimensions’ obstacles, but also letting you ride it.

The Blast Cam is the first upgrade: this turns the gadget into a movie camera you can sit on and ride around. It’s armed with a green laser beam too, making it useful for quickly taking out enemies.

Upgrade again to the MechaHomer and not only do you get the best of the three designs – a big television mech you can ride – you also get a red laser you can use to melt gold blocks.

Review: Homer has two special abilities. By drinking his beer cola, he’s able to perform a Sonar Smash attack and break any fragile glass he comes across.

He can also build up an anger gauge that, over time, lets him transform into Angry Homer. This makes him grow large and gives him Super Strength, letting him break some larger objects.

Neither of these abilities is exclusive to Homer, mind, so if you’re looking to buy him purely for his abilities there are other options.

Batman’s Batmobile (which comes with the Starter Pack) can be upgraded with a Sonar Smash attack, meaning you don’t actually have to make another purchase to get this ability.

Meanwhile, the likes of Gimli, Harley Quinn, Cyborg and the upcoming Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man all have Super Strength too, meaning if you own (or plan to own) any of these, the benefits of using Homer become purely cosmetic.

Buy him: Homer comes in a Level Pack along with his car, the Taunt-o-vision and a new level based on The Simpsons. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Mick Wingert (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Electricity, Fix-It, Laser Deflection, Spinjitsu, Stealth

Who is he? One of the Ninjago masters of Spinjitzu, Jay is the Blue Ninja of Lightning (no relation to Lightning from Gladiators). Despite having the power to harness electricity, he’s the most lighthearted member of the group. Bet that comes as a shock. A SHOCK! HAHAHA.

Notable interactions: • (to Cyberman) “Would it be okay if I took you apart to see how you work later?” • (to Cyborg) “You know, if you ever need a recharge I’ve got you covered.”

Gadget: Storm Fighter: Jay’s vehicle is a blue plane surrounded by electricity. In its standard form it’s a nipply little flier that gets around fairly quickly but doesn’t do much else.

Its first upgrade is the Lightning Jet. This adds a laser beam and lets it charge elelctrical switches, much like Jay himself can.

Review: Being ‘the electricity one’ in the Ninjago crew, it’s unsurprising that Jay has the same ability to turn on electrical switches shared by the Jurassic World ACU Trooper and the Joker.

Having this relatively unique skill makes up for the fact that Jay isn’t too different from his other ninja chums. Cole, for example, feels very similar to control but has the added bonus of a ruddy big scythe compared to Jay’s dinky nunchuks.

Similarly, his Storm Fighter vehicle feels just like Cole’s Boulder Bomber plane, though the added bonus of an electrical ability in its third form does make it one of only two vehicles in the game that can fire electricity (the other being the DeLorean).

If you’re into Ninjago then you’re going to obviously want the full set, and in that respect Jay would clearly be a must-have. He’s still a ninja and ninja are still cool, and while his plane is nothing special it’s still ultimately a ninja flying a plane that can shoot electricity, so come on.

However, if you have no attachment to Ninjago then Jay isn’t essential for completing the game because although he has a rare electrical ability, so does the ACU Trooper and you need his Gyrosphere too.

Buy him: Jay and his Storm Fighter come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Christopher Corey Smith (original dialogue)

Abilities: Electricity, Grapple, Target

Who is he? The arch nemesis of Batman, the Joker is a sadistic, psychopathic criminal mastermind who, in the origin story told most often, fell into a vat of chemicals and looked so disfigured that as a result he went insane.

Notable interactions: • (to Krusty) “Another clown, huh? This is my gig, bub. Go find your own party to crash.” • (to Unikitty) “Oh dear, I think I might have finally lost it. What exactly are you supposed to be?” • (to the Wicked Witch) “Witchy baby, you simply must give me the name of your makeup artist.”

Gadget: The Joker’s Chopper: The Joker comes with a green, white and purple helicopter which is one of the most enjoyable Lego Dimensions vehicles to build in real life. Its little rotors even spin.

In the game its standard form is already armed with rockets, which is something you’d usually expect to have to upgrade to with most other flying vehicles.

Upgrade again to the Lock ‘n’ Laser Jet and it transforms once again, into (you guessed it) a jet fighter. The missiles are also replaced with a laser. A pretty fun weapons-based vehicle, then.

Review: While Harley Quinn is a fairly underwhelming character, her ‘Puddin’ offers a much more well-rounded array of skills.

His ability to trigger electrical switches is only shared by a handful of other characters, which makes him useful in that regard.

More generally though, he’s very effective at long-range combat. His gun fires at a much faster rate than any other weapon in the game (not counting lasers, obviously) and he can also release little chattering teeth that support you in battle and can act as decoys.

He may be a baddie (and a boss in the Story Mode too, which makes it odd when you have him in your squad too) but the Joker’s a good guy in my book.

Buy him: The Joker and his Chopper come in a DC Comics Team Pack alongside Harley Quinn and her Quinn-mobile.

Voice actor: Charlie Schlatter (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Laser Deflection, Spinjitsu, Stealth

Who is he? Continuing the whole ‘each member has a different element’ theme made infamous in Captain Planet, Kai is the Red Ninja of Fire. Naturally, this makes him the hot-headed one, essentially the Raphael of the gang.

Notable interactions: • (to Aquaman) “I hope you don’t mind if I keep my distance. I don’t want you dousing my fire, you know.” • (riding K-9) “This thing handles like a dog.”

Gadget: Blade Bike: A nifty red motorbike that shoots fire out of its exhaust while you ride it. In its initial stage it can shoot bullets and not much else but it’s actually a pretty versatile vehicle.

Upgrade it to the Flying Fire Bike and, as the name suggests, you can take to the skies and use it as a plane of sorts.

Upgrade it again and it becomes the Blades Of Fire, a special bike that can shoot lasers and launch ninja swords at enemies. A fairly badass combat vehicle, then.

Despite being the ‘fire’ ninja in the Ninjago crew, Kai can’t do any fire-related shenanigans on his own. In fact, he has exactly the same abilities as Cole, minus his super strength.

What’s the point in having him then, you may be asking? Has he just been chucked in with Cole so nobody’s been left out? Not so fast, you cynical chap.

Although Kai himself is nothing special (other than being a red ninja, of course), his Blade Bike is an absolute beauty of a weapon if used in combat.

It’s a motorbike that can fire swords at people when you upgrade it, for crying out loud.

Buy him: Kai and his Blade Bike come in a Ninjago Team Pack along with Cole and his Boulder Bomber.

Krusty the Clown

Abilities: Hazard Cleanup, Plant Growth

Who is he? Springfield’s favourite entertainer, Krusty has been entertaining TV audiences for as long as he cares to remember. On camera he’s as enthusiastic as it ges, but underneath the greaseproof paint is a tired man who can’t be bothered with it all.

Notable interactions: • (to Unikitty) “Better get back on those anti-psychotic meds.” • (to The Joker) “Would you do my kids’ birthday party?” • (to Harley Quinn) “Now see here Little Miss Scene Stealer, I’m the star of the show!”

Gadget: Clown Bike: Made famous in the Homie The Clown episode of The Simpsons, Krusty’s Clown Bike is the tiny one Homer had to ride to impress mob bosses.

Given its tiny size it should perhaps come as no surprise that in its standard form the Clown Bike has absolutely no special abilities other than the accelerator switch one almost all cars have as standard.

As such, it’s actually a little more useful than you may initially think when you look at it.

Review: Krusty is another one of those characters who can do one thing really well and not much else.

In this case, it’s thanks to the water bottle he carries around with him. He can use it to make plants grow and clean up hazards, both rare skills that only a couple of other characters have.

However, that said, one of these other characters is Aquaman, who’s needed for his Atlantis ability, meaning Krusty isn’t exactly an essential character.

If you’re a Simpsons fan it goes without saying that you should get him because the minifigure is ace and it’s still Krusty. However, given how rarely his two abilities come into play, he’s probably the weakest character in the game.

Buy him: Krusty and his Clown Bike come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Robert Webb (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Chi, Laser Deflection, Super Strength

Who is he? The main protagonist of the Legends Of Chima series, Laval is the prince of the Lion Tribe. He used to laid back and up for having a good time, but once his tribe started fighting with the Crocodile Tribe over Chi he realised it was time to grow up. Always a bloody Chi fight that does it, isn’t it?

Notable interactions: • (to Cyberman) “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what kind of animal are you?” • (riding the Gyrosphere) “I’m a lion, not a hamster.”

Gadget: Mighty Lion Rider: If there was an award for the coolest looking car in the game, Laval’s Mighty Lion Rider would be in with a good shout given that it’s basically a car in the shape of a lion’s head.

In its standard form, like so many other in-game vehicles, it doesn’t do much other than serve as a mode of transport.

Upgrade it again to the Fire Lion and it turns into a sort of wheeled mech (think Johnny 5 from Short Circuit) armed with a massive flamethrower.

Like I said, one of the coolest vehicles.

Review: Like the other two Chima characters, Laval has the ability to absorb Chi from fountains and empty it into special Chi switches to open doors.

Other than this he isn’t armed with a lot of other special abilities that make him stand out from the rest of the pack.

Indeed, given that Cragger is the only one who can activate underwater Chi switches, and Eris has some brilliant flying abilities, it’s probably fair to say Laval is the least useful of the Chima trio.

Which is a shame, because his car is brilliant and he’s voiced by Robert Webb for some odd reason.

Buy him: Laval and his Mighty Lion Rider come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Orlando Bloom (archive dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Pole Vault, Target

Who is he? An Elf prince and the son of King Thranduil (aren’t we all). He joins the Fellowship of the Ring to help protect Frodo as he sets off on his quest to destroy the ring.

Notable interactions: • (to ACU Trooper) “This is no mere ranger.” • (to the Wicked Witch) “You look terrible.”

Gadget: Arrow Launcher: Legolas’s vehicle is a catapult type thing on wheels which can fire arrows. It travels slowly so it’s more of a rolling weapon than a proper car.

If you upgrade it to the Seeking Shooter its arrows do a better job of targeting enemies, which makes it more useful.

Its final upgrade is the Triple Ballista, which just fires three arrows instead of one.

Review: I almost get the feeling Legolas was only chosen as a playable character because he has Lego in his name.

To his credit, he does have a rare Pole Vault ability that only two other characters (Sensei Wu and Green Arrow) possess, and given how rare Green Arrow is that might as well just be one.

He’s also decent in combat, given his bow and arrow and… actually, come to think of it, he basically is just Green Arrow.

Legolas is essentially the Krusty the Clown of the Lord Of The Rings world, then, in that he does one thing really well but his other abilities are a tad scarce.

Buy him: Legolas and his Arrow Launcher come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Karen Strassman (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Illumination, Laser Deflection, Spinjitsu, Stealth

Who is he? Lloyd is the legendary Golden Ninja, at least he is in this form. In the actual Lego Ninjago series, he eventually becomes the Green Ninja of Energy. He’s the grandson of the the first Spinjitzu Master, showing nepotism is alive and well in the Ninjago universe.

Notable interactions: • (to giant Stay Puft) “I’m glad you’re on OUR side.” • (when entering the game) “You need some ninjitsu doing?”

Gadget: Lloyd’s Golden Dragon: A ruddy big dragon you can sit on and use to fly around. Even in its standard, upgrade-free form its speed is absolutely ridiculous, easily making it one of the fastest flying vehicles in the game pre-upgrades. Its upgrades are Sword Projector Dragon (which can fire swords, funnily enough) and Mega Flight Dragon, which can breathe fire.

Even worse, of the six main Ninjago ninja, he’s the only one who can’t do a double jump. Plus he’s called Lloyd, which isn’t a very ninja name. You’d be forgiven for beginning to think this Lloyd guy’s an imposter.

Then you see him fighting and all becomes clear. Lloyd swings about his sword like nobody’s business, and can chain together an endless stream of extremely fast attacks. He’s not called the Elemental Master of Energy for nothing, it seems.

Add to that the fact he comes with a dragon which is an absolute beast when it comes to the flying-based checkpoint challenges and you’ve got a character who, while not essential, could come in useful.

Buy him: Lloyd and his Golden Dragon come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Marty McFly

Voice actor: Michael J Fox (original dialogue)

Abilities: Sonar Smash

Who is he? A young teenage chap who’s friends with eccentric scientist Doc Brown. When Doc develops a time machine, Marty’s dragged into an adventure that involves travelling back in time, accidentally causing his young mum to fall in love with him and trying to get her together with his dad to ensure he exists. It’s fairly ‘heavy’ stuff, as he would put it.

Notable interactions: • (to Bart) “Hey look, a fellow skater. Ever used a hoverboard, pal?” • (to Gamer Kid) “If you’re into retro stuff, we should take a quick drive in the Doc’s DeLorean.” • (to K-9) “I’ve gotta head to the future to get me one of these.”

Gadget 1: Delorean Time Machine: The first of Marty’s two gadgets is obviously the iconic time machine from the movies.

The DeLorean’s main ability is time travel, which you can activate any time you find a time travel treadmill. Drive onto it, keep driving until you hit 88mph and woomph: you’re in the past. Or future. Or whenever.

The first upgrade turns it into the Electric Time Machine, which looks similar to the standard DeLorean but lets you fire sparks by holding the attack button. These can be used to charge any electrical switches you come across. Like other vehicles, it also has a tow bar function letting you grapple onto hooks.

Then the second upgrade, the Ultra Time Machine, is where things really get fun. As in the end of the first movie, this folds the wheels up and turns the DeLorean into a flying car. Naturally, this means you can fly wherever you want in a stage, but it can also fire missiles that blow up silver Lego barriers.

This is a great little vehicle with a bunch of different functions, not to mention the fact it’s the DeLorean. Given how iconic the vehicle itself is, it’s also good to see neither of its upgrade variations look too different.

Gadget 2: Hoverboard: Maybe the developers thought we were ‘riding’ (ahem) our luck with the DeLorean’s awesomeness, because Marty’s second gadget is about as useful as an Arctic bikini.

In its initial form, its single skill is the ability to briefly hover over gaps, letting you cover slightly longer distances than a jump would. This would maybe be useful were you also not in possession of a bloody flying car.

It’s only when you do the second upgrade and turn it into the Ultimate Hoverjet that it becomes useful. Much like the DeLorean’s final upgrade, this lets you fly wherever you like and fire missiles to blow up silver Lego bricks.

Considering the DeLorean does everything the Hoverboard does and so much more, it’s a completely pointless gadget except for one obvious feature: it’s the Hoverboard.

Much like Homer’s Car in the Simpsons level pack, then, you’ll be more likely to use the Hoverboard for the sheer novelty of doing so. Just don’t expect to be doing anything massively productive while you do.

Review: Marty is a ‘good news, bad news’ character. The good news is that his guitar makes him ridiculously powerful when fighting enemies, and when you do his jumping ground pound attack the shockwave it makes is enormous.

This is partly excused for the fact that he’s just so much fun to play as, mainly thanks to Michael J Fox’s newly recorded dialogue (the first time he’s properly played Marty in over 20 years).

Because it’s all new dialogue and not archived stuff, the developers had a field day getting Fox to record all sorts of crossover lines for whenever Marty is teamed up with certain characters.

All these lovely little touches make up for Marty’s relative uselessness when it comes to puzzle solving, and many’s a time I’ve had him in my active roster just to have him around.

Buy him: Marty comes in a Level Pack which includes the Delorean, the Hoverboard and a new level based on Back To The Future. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Eliza Schneider (original dialogue)

Who is she? Kai’s younger sister is a Water Ninja, though she doesn’t quite have the same level of Ninja skills the rest of her team does. She makes up for this with a load of weapons and gadgets though, including a ruddy massive Samurai Mech.

Notable interactions: • (to Scooby-Doo) “I wish I could say a talking dog was the weirdest thing I’ve seen today, but it doesn’t even make the top five.” • (to Cyberman) “I bet Jay would just love to see what makes you tick.”

Gadget: Samurai Mech: An enormous robot designed to look like a huge metallic ninja. Nya (or anyone else) can climb inside it and use its strength to plough through all manner of objects and enemies.

Naturally, its standard form is armed with the Super Strength ability, while upgrading it to the Samurai Shooter gives it the ability to blow up silver Lego blocks. Finally, its Soaring Samurai Mech upgrade makes it even more useful by adding the power of flight.

She’s got the same standard abilities her other five Ninjago chums have, and while she’s a solid fighter so are the others.

It’s her Samurai Mech that makes her such a fun character, not only because it’s great fun to build in real life (it’s easily the tallest of the real-life builds in the game other than the base itself) but also because the in-game version is huge.

Being a mech ninja, it’s also a nippy big sod, meaning you can bound through levels with all the grace of a ballerina, but all the destructive ability of a ballerina with a bazooka.

It’s a case of average character, above-average gadget, then, but naturally you can’t get the mech without the man. Or woman, in this case.

Buy her: Nya and her Samurai Mech come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Abilities: Stealth, Target, Tracking, Vine Cutting

Who is he? A former member of the US Military, Owen was hired by Jurassic World to study and train the park’s pack of velociraptors. He ends up teaching them how to work alongside him like badass attack dogs.

Notable interactions: • (to his Velociraptor) “Okay, let’s make a deal. You don’t eat me, and I promise not to get stuck in your throat when you inevitably do.” • (to Unikitty) “Part cat, part unicorn? Ingen definitely had a hand in that.” • (in Benny’s Spaceship) “A spaceship? Really? And people say dinosaurs are science fiction.”

Gadget: Velociraptor:  For those who’ve seen Jurassic World, this particular raptor seems to resemble ‘Blue’ from that movie, which makes sense.

Like Owen himself, it has the ability to cut vines and not much else in its standard form (other than attacking people, obviously).

Upgrade it to the Spike Attack Raptor and it gains digging and super strength abilities, while upgrading it to the Venom Raptor turns it all Dilophosaurus-like and lets you spit venom at enemies.

Review: Owen and his velociraptor are the only characters (in terms of Year One at least) with the ability to cut through vines.

This makes him essential for completing the game 100%, although considering he’s also part of the only pack that unlocks the Jurassic World adventure world that sort of goes without saying anyway.

The handful of other skills he has are the sort of things you’d expect from a Bear Grylls style dino hunter type. He’s got a stealth move, can track hidden prints on the ground and can use tranquiliser darts to hit targets.

He’s a decent character, then, and one whose usefulness goes beyond needing him to unlock everything.

Buy him: Owen and the Velociraptor come in the Jurassic World Team Pack along with the ACU Trooper and his Gyrosphere.

Peter Venkman

Voice actor: Bill Murray (archive dialogue), plus Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson (archive dialogue)

Abilities: Laser, Suspend Ghosts

Who is he? One of the founding members of the Ghostbusters, a group of parapsychologists (plus Ernie Hudson) who start a spook-trapping business, conveniently just as New York becomes overrun with the sods.

Notable interactions: • (to The Doctor) “You didn’t used to look like this.” • (to Unikitty) “There are some things in this world that go way beyond human understanding.”

Gadget 1: Ecto-1: Let’s face it, Venkman’s first gadget had to be the iconic car from the Ghostbusters movie.

When you upgrade it to the Ecto-1 Blaster it transforms into a sort of fire engine and gains a couple of new abilities: it can pull tow switches and spray water to grow plants and clean up hazards.

Finally, upgrading it again to the Ecto-1 Water Diver turns it into a submarine, which can dive underwater and fire a blaster that can blow up silver Lego obstacles.

Ecto-1 is similar to Homer’s Car in the Simpsons level pack in that its main selling point is that it’s an iconic vehicle from popular culture. There are plenty of better vehicles in the game, but if you’re a Ghostbusters fan like me the sheer novelty of driving this particular one wins out anyway.

As a side note: every vehicle and gadget in the game has alternative skins that can be unlocked, but Ecto-1 has one of my favourites because you can repaint it to look like the Ghostbusters 2 car, complete with new logo.

Gadget 2: Ghost Trap: Venkman’s Proton Pack weapon is all well and good when it comes to stunning ghosts and dragging them around, but without a place to put them it’s all a bit pointless.

Outside of the Ghostbusters level ghosts are few and far between which renders the trap pretty useless in its standard form: without ghosts it can’t trap anyone.

However, once you upgrade it to the Ghost Stun ‘n’ Trap, it also gains the ability to trap standard enemies. It may be quicker and easier to kill them normally, but come on: this way you get to be a Ghostbuster.

Its final upgrade, the Proton Zapper, is an odd one in that it turns the Ghost Trap into a laser turret that acts just like the Proton Pack weapon. Oddly, this is only useful when you aren’t playing as Venkman, since he already has a Proton Pack.

Ultimately, the Ghost Trap is a jack of one trade and when it comes to trapping ghosts it gets the job done. For the most part though, you won’t be using this one because it’s used far too infrequently to justify using up one of your seven roster slots.

Review: Venkman’s Proton Pack device can be fired at ghosts and used to drag them, Luigi’s Manision style, into his Ghost Trap gadget. Since he’s the only character in the game who can do this and there are a number of moments in the game where ghosts are blocking gold bricks, this means he’s essential for completing the game 100%.

I mean, he was anyway because he unlocks a bonus Ghostbusters level, but even so.

The Proton Pack also doubles as an effective laser, making it effortless to destroy large areas filled with scenery or enemies (as well as gold obstacles, like other lasers can).

Though ghosts don’t appear too often outside of the Ghostbusters level he comes with, then, this destructive ability still makes him a useful member of your roster.

There’s another lovely wee treat you may not be aware of though. Finish the level he comes with and you unlock the ability to switch Venkman out for any of the other three Ghostbusters whenever you like, each with their own dialogue and animations.

It’s a lovely touch and essentially means you’re getting four characters instead of one.

Buy him: Peter Venkman comes in a Level Pack along with the Ecto-1, the Ghost Trap and a new level based on Ghostbusters. Here’s my full review of the pack.

Voice actor: Frank Welker (original dialogue)

Abilities: Dig, Dive, Stealth, Tracking

Who is he? The faithful dog of the Mystery Incorporated squad, Scooby is a cowardly Great Dane who joins his master Shaggy and the rest of the gang solving spooky mysteries, which usually consists of pulling ghost masks off old men’s heads.

Notable interactions: • (to Batman) “Rara rara rara rara Batmaaaan!” • (riding K-9) “Hee hee hee, nice robot doggy.” • (to Stay Puft) “Oooh, a big gooey Scooby Snack.”

Gadget: Scooby Snack: This unique item comes in three different forms, each of which temporarily gives the user a different ability when they eat it.

The standard Scooby Snack gives you the Super Strength Ability for a short while.

Upgrade it to the Scooby Fire Snack and you instead get to fire a laser for a while, and upgrade it again to the Scooby Ghost Snack to turn you invisible and give you the Stealth ability.

Review: Scooby-Doo is a laugh to play as. His ridiculous running animation is faithful to the cartoons, with his legs flailing all over the place, and his voice acting is top notch.

Crucially, he’s also the only Year One character in the game with the Dig ability, which lets him dig up certain pieces of dirt to find hidden treasures underneath.

Although there are some vehicles that also have this ability, none of them can dive underwater and there’s at least one section in the game where a gold brick is hidden in some dirt underwater.

As a result, Scoobs is essential if you want to complete the game 100% (though he also unlocks the Scooby-Doo adventure world, so he’s essential anyway).

Buy him: Scooby-Doo and his Scooby Snack come in a Team Pack along with Shaggy and the Mystery Machine.

Voice actor: William Salyers (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Pole Vault, Spinjitsu, Stealth

Who is he? He’s only the ruddy Master of Creation, you know. Sensei Wu teaches the other Ninjago crew the art of Spinjitzu, and he’d know given it was his dad who was the First Spinjitzu Master.

Notable interactions: • (to The Doctor) “I sense you have great wisdom, Doctor.” • (when entering the game) “Your decision to summon me was most enlightened.”

Gadget: Flying White Dragon: Lloyd isn’t the only Ninjago character in the game with a flying dragon he can ride. Sensei Wu’s does pretty much the same thing in its standard form, flying around at high speeds.

It’s more useful than Lloyd’s dragon though, because you can upgrade it to the Golden Fire Dragon and use it to spit fireballs.

Review: If you only want to buy one Lego Ninjago character so you can unlock the Ninjago Adventure World and beat the game 100%, Sensi Wu is the Sensei for Yu.

“But WHY Chris,” I hear you wail. “I need to know the reason or I won’t be fully convinced.”

Cheer up, I’m going to tell you. Not only does Master Wu have the standard Spinjitzu ability all the other Ninjago characters have (rendering them all unnecessary), he also has the rare Pole Vault ability.

The only other characters with this ability are the dull Legolas and the obscenely rare Green Arrow, meaning if you buy Sensei Wu you won’t need the other Tu.

Buy him: Sensei Wu and his Flying White Dragon come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Shaggy Rogers

Voice actor: Matthew Lillard (original dialogue)

Abilities: Illumination, Stealth, Tracking

Who is he? A member of Mystery Incorporated, Shaggy and his trusty dog Scooby-Doo spend their time being terrified of ghosts and thinking of ways to hide in the background instead of helping their friends solve mysteries.

Notable interactions: • (in the TARDIS) “Like, I always wanted to travel through time. I could eat lunch twice.” • (to the Wicked Witch) “It’s always a guy dressed as the witch. Haha, so obvious! Uh, you ARE in costume, right?” • (to Peter Venkman) “Like, dude, we unmask ghosts all the time. No big deal.”

Gadget: Mystery Machine: When you think of iconic movie and TV vehicles the big ridiculous hippy van that is the Mystery Machine has to be on the list.

The standard build is your typical ground vehicle fare. It can drive around, looking cool because it’s the Mystery Machine, and that’s it.

Finally, its Mystery Monster upgrade adds two water cannons to the side, letting you clean up hazards and make plants grow (a relatively rare ability).

Review: Together with Scooby-Doo, Shaggy is another hilarious character to play as.

His original dialogue (provided by long-time Shaggy voice Matthew Lillard) is a treat (or a Scooby Snack, if you will) and his animations are just as exaggerated as his canine companion’s.

He’s a far less useful character than Scooby-Doo is, mind you, with a fairly small array of abilities that are generally common among a number of other characters.

Considering he already comes with Scooby though, it would be downright cruel not to keep them together while you play.

Buy him: Shaggy and the Mystery Machine come in a Team Pack with Scooby-Doo and a Scooby Snack.

Abilities: Boomerang, Dive, Flight, Hazard Cleanup, Illumination, Invulnerability, Mini Access, Sonar Smash

Who is he? A ghost that used to haunt the twelfth floor of New York’s illustrious Sedgewick Hotel, until the Ghostbusters turned up and decided to catch him. It’s said Slimer is supposed to be the ghost of late comedy actor John Belushi.

Notable interactions: None (he only grunts and screams)

Gadget: Slime Shooter: The Slime Shooter is an odd gadget. It’s a static weapon that doesn’t move, and can be used to fire slime bolts at enemies and targets.

Upgrade it one more time and the Slime Streamer acts like a sort of chargeable slime explosion, blasting slime into the sky and causing it to rain down on enemies.

Review: Slimer was one of the last Year One characters released and he was worth the wait.

Just look at his list of abilities and you’ll see why he’s an absolute beast of a character. You can fly around, completely invincible, diving underwater and squeezing into tight spots.

In fact, if you want to 100% the game you’re going to need Slimer because one adventure world has a bunch of ghosts underwater and he’s the only one who can get through them.

That’s because he’s Slimer. And he’s awesome.

Buy him: Slimer and his Slime Shooter come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Who is he? One of the main antagonists in the original Ghostbusters film, Stay Puft is the physical embodiment of Gozer the Destroyer, unintentionally chosen by Ghostbuster Ray Stantz. He’s adorably terrifying.

Notable interactions: None (he’s mute)

Gadget: Terror Dog: Stay Puft’s ‘vehicle’ is one of the two demon dogs that stand beside Gozer at the end of the first Ghostbusters movie. It’s not clear which one it is, but let’s say it’s the one with Rick Moranis inside.

In its standard form it just runs around, but the sight of your character sitting on its back is entertaining enough to justify riding it.

Even better though, upgrade again to the Soaring Terror Dog and that sucker can FLY.

Review: I’m torn when it comes to Stay-Puft. You see, in theory I should be telling you that he doesn’t have a lot going for him.

I should be telling you that the only real ability he has is using Super Strength to smash some walls and objects, which is something a lot of characters can do.

I should also be telling you that his combat ability isn’t up to scratch and the fact he’s pretty much mute means he doesn’t even have entertaining dialogue to make up for it.

But look at his FACE.

Buy him: Stay Puft and the Terror Dog come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Kari Wahlgren (original dialogue)

Abilities: Dive, Flight, Invulnerability, Laser, Super Strength, X-Ray Vision, Red Lantern

Who is she? Kara Zor-El is Superman’s older cousin. When Superman’s parents sent him to Earth as a baby, Supergirl’s parents sent her in another ship to take care of him. However, her ship got lost in the Phantom Zone for 24 years, during which time she didn’t age.

When she finally landed on Earth more than two decades later, she was still a teenage girl. Still, not to worry, she still has powers and that.

Notable interactions: • (to Benny) “You have a spaceship? Me too! Well, mine’s more of a pod. But it was in space.” • (to Superman) “Hey Kal, how’s it going? Seems like I keep missing you lately.”

Review: Unsurprisingly, Supergirl is very similar to Superman, with much of the same abilities.

This means that, like Superman, she’s one of the most powerful characters in the game. She’s invincible, can fly, can fire a laser, has super strength, the list goes on.

Long story short, if you already have the much easier-to-get Superman then you don’t need Supergirl for now. If you don’t have Superman and have a chance to get Supergirl instead, go for it.

One thing to bear in mind, though: her Valley girl style voice acting is really annoying.

Buy her: The only way you can currently get Supergirl is by buying the PS4 Starter Pack for Lego Dimensions as of 16 September 2016. If you have an older version of the Starter Pack or want the game on a different system, you’re out of luck for now.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not yet clear if she’s going to be available to buy separately in the future. The trailer for her says she’s “included in specially marked Lego Dimensions PS4 Starter Packs until 28 March 2017”, but many are taking that to mean she’ll be available to buy separately after then.

That’s not really what it says, though – there’s every possibility that she’ll simply be unavailable anywhere after that date.

Voice actor: Travis Willingham (original dialogue)

Abilities: Dive, Flight, Ice Breath, Invulnerability, Laser, Super Strength, X-Ray Vision

Who is he? Born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton, Superman was sent on a rocket to Earth right before Krypton was blown to smithereens. When he landed on Earth, it soon became clear he had superhuman abilities.

Notable interactions: • (to Batman) “Let’s settle this rivalry once and for all. Coffee or tea?” • (to Chell) “You were captured by an evil computer? Yeah, I’ve been there.” • (to Owen Grady) “An island full of dinosaurs? Was I there? I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a theme park.”

Gadget: Hover Pod: I sort of get the feeling the Hover Pod is in there just because they couldn’t really release Superman without any gadgets or vehicles.

It’s only in its third form, the Super Stealth Pod, that it gains an ability Superman doesn’t already have – the ability to blow up silver Lego objects, like so many other vehicles.

Bit pointless, this one.

Review: Superman is my second favourite character in the game.

He’s basically a cheat code in playable form. He’s invincible. He can fly at insane speeds, which lets him cut out huge chunks of levels during the Story mode.

He can mow through enemies with his laser. He can swim underwater and do all this there too.

In fact, he’s so fast at both flying and swimming that you can use him for every type checkpoint race – the air ones, the underwater ones and even the car ones by flying low to the ground – and win most of them easily.

He’s an absolute beast. He isn’t essential to complete the game 100%, but he’s essential for getting the most enjoyment out of it.

Buy him: Superman and his Hover Pod come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Alison Brie (original dialogue)

Abilities: Big Transform, Master Building, Rainbow Bricks

Who is she? One of the main characters in The Lego Movie. Unikitty comes from Cloud Cuckoo Land, the most colourful land in the Lego universe. Get her annoyed though and she’ll show her mean side.

Notable interactions: • (to the Wicked Witch) “If you spent more time singing you wouldn’t be so wicked, witch.” • (to Bad Cop) “I have a particular set of skills, Bad Cop. And they’re to bring you happy thoughts.” (a reference to Liam Neeson in Taken. Neeson voiced Bad Cop) • (to Homer) “Is that a can of Buzz Cola? Can I try some? I’ve never had sugar before.”

Gadget: Cloud Cuckoo Car:  Despite its name, the Cloud Cuckoo Car is actually a plane, not a car. It is shaped like a cloud and has a cuckoo’s face though, so two out of three isn’t bad.

In its normal form it can land on flight docks and hook onto cargo like many other flying vehicles can.

Finally, upgrading it to the Rainbow Cannon lets you fire rainbow coloured pellets which destroy both enemies and rainbow bricks.

Review: If you’re the sort of manly man who wouldn’t be seen dead buying a bright pink toy then you’d better get in touch with your feminine side pronto because you need Unikitty to beat the game 100%.

She’s the only character in the game with the ability to destroy rainbow blocks, and there are plenty of instances in which you’ll come across them too.

Thankfully she’s also a fun character to play as, thanks to her extreme split personality. Hold the action button to transform her into a huge, raging, bright red hell cat with a Super Strength ability.

Buy her: Unikitty and her Cloud Cuckoo Car come in a standalone Fun Pack .

The Wicked Witch Of The West

Voice actor: Courtenay Taylor (original dialogue)

Abilities: Flight, Illumination, Magic, Magic Shield, Mind Control, Silver Destruction

Who is she? The nasty antagonist of The Wizard Of Oz, the Wicked Witch is the evil ruler of the Winkie Country. And I promise that isn’t a euphemism.

Notable interactions: • (to Cyborg) “Careful you don’t rust, tin man! Mwa ha ha!” • (to Aquaman) “An aquatic man, eh? Keep that horrible water away from me.” • (to Wonder Woman) “Another good witch? Curses!” • (riding the Ecto-1) “What a horribly bright-looking carriage, although I do like the spooky ghost on the side.”

Gadget: Winged Monkey:  “Fly my pretties, flyyyyyy!” Good job that’s all the Wicked Witch asked of her winged monkeys, because in its standard form this one can’t really do anything else.

Upgrade it to the Battle Monkey and this changes, as it gains the ability to fire missiles at enemies.

Review: The Wicked Witch is a useful character to have, not least of all because she’s the only Wizard Of Oz character in the game and therefore the only way to unlock the Wizard Of Oz adventure world.

She’s also got a couple of rare abilities which are handy if you fancy mixing characters around a bit.

For example, she’s the only character other than Gandalf with the ability to use magic. Well, in Year 1, at least. Harry Potter and co will change that in Year 2.

That means if you aren’t much of a Lord Of The Rings fan you can ditch old beardy and play as a much more entertaining baddie instead.

Buy her: The Wicked Witch and her Flying Monkey come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Wonder Woman

Voice actor: Laura Bailey (original dialogue)

Abilities: Boomerang, Dive, Flight, Grapple, Invulnerability, Laser Deflection, Mind Control, Super Strength

Who is she? She’s an Amazon from the island of Themyscira and her real name is Diana Prince (as opposed to Princess Diana). After winning a contest, she was chosen to be the warrior who would travel to ‘Man’s World’ and help people out there. That’s ‘Man’ as in mankind, by the way. She empowers women but not in that way.

Notable interactions: • (to Gollum) “No, these are my bracelets, not your ‘Precious’, whatever that is.” • (to the TARDIS) “What is this? Looks like something Superman would change outfits in.” • (to Homer) “Hey Homer. Someone told me you were a fan of mine?”

Gadget: Invisible Jet:  Much like Superman, Wonder Woman is accompanied with a vehicle that is completely useless to her because its main property is its ability to fly.

When you upgrade it to the Laser Shooter you can… you know what, I’m going to let you figure that one out.

Upgrade it again to the Torpedo Bomber and… yup.

Review: You know how I was saying Superman is my second favourite character in the game? Meet my favourite.

Just like Superman, she’s invincible and can fly at ridiculous speeds. And just like Supes she’s got a whole host of other abilities.

The thing is though, these other abilities are much more impressive and useful than Superman’s.

While Superman has a laser and X-Ray vision, Wonder Woman instead has a boomerang and grapple. These aren’t a big deal in theory because Batman can do both, but that’s the point – get Wonder Woman and you don’t need to switch to Batman anymore.

Considering huge swathes of the game have Batman-based puzzles because he’s a Starter Pack character, this makes Wonder Woman not only an invincible flying machine, but one whose skills are in constant need. Get her bought.

Buy her: Wonder Woman and her Invisible Jet come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Voice actor: Elizabeth Banks (original dialogue)

Abilities: Acrobat, Master Building, Relic Detection

Who is she? The other main protagonist of The Lego Movie, Wyldstyle is tasked with finding ‘The Special’ and making sure he fulfils the prophecy by saving the world from destruction. When she realises it’s the hapless Emmet, she starts to question whether the prophecy really is true.

Notable interactions: • (to Wonder Woman) “Hey girl, how’s it going? Things with Superman all good? We should grab a coffee sometime.” • (in the Cloud Cuckoo Car) “Don’t tell Batman but this is the greatest ride ever.”

Review: As one of the Starter Pack characters it sort of goes without saying that, like Batman and Gandalf, Wyldstyle’s abilities get called upon frequently.

Her Master Building abilities are only shared by a couple of other Lego Movie characters (Benny, Emmet and Unikitty) while her Relic Detection ability is unique to just her and Bad Cop.

Unless you have a serious love for any of these characters, then, you can expect to have Wyldstyle close by at all times because any time you see a purple glowing area in the game (and it happens often) you know she’s going to be called into action.

Buy her: No need, she’s already included in the Starter Pack .

Voice actor: Yuri Lowenthal (original dialogue)

Abilities: Boomerang, Dive, Spinjitsu, Stealth, X-Ray Vision

Who is he? Ninjago master Sensei Wu first discovered Zane trying to hold his breath underwater. Wu took him to the dojo and trained him to be a Ninja of Ice. It soon emerges that he’s only a bloody robot (well, a Nindroid to be precise).

Notable interactions: • (to Gimli) “Your beard is surprisingly lustrous for a small child.” • (to Cyberman) “Were you also built by my father?” • to Cyborg) “If you do not mind me asking, what percentage of you is robot?”

Gadget: Ninjacopter: In its initial for this is a standard flying vehicle with a built-in gun. It’s easy to control and it does the job in terms of aircraft.

Upgrade it to Glaciator and things start to get interesting as it gains the ability to fire big ice blasts.

Upgrade it again to the Freeze Fighter and you can shoot a powerful ice beam, which incorporates both the Laser and Freeze Breath abilities in one powerful shot.

That said, it does make him easily the most unique of the ninja characters, because he has different abilities they don’t possess. He can fire his shuriken as boomerangs, for example, and can also dive underwater.

He can also use his freaky robot eyes for X-ray vision, letting him solve some of the X-ray puzzles dotted around the game. Cyberman and Superman are the only other characters that can do this.

While buying one of the other five ninja essentially means you’re buying them all in terms of abilities, then, Zane is different enough to make him a good companion to any other ninja character.

He does talk like a bit of a numpty, though.

Buy him: Zane and his Ninjacopter come in a standalone Fun Pack .

Well, there you have it. A massive thank you for reading all that if you got this far.

As you can probably imagine, writing 17,000 words and capturing nearly a hundred screenshots took a hell of a long time.

Enjoyed this i wrote these too:.

Christ, you weren’t messing about here. I don’t even care about Lego Dimensions but I read it anyway, because I want to support your admirable promise of keeping it all on one page. It also helps that I enjoy your writing anyway, of course, even if this was a lot “cleaner” than usual 😉

My favorite parts were the bits on there notable interactions, so much detail in here, really great!!!

Great article!

I really want to play Lego Deminsions. And this may be a dumb question but- Do I continually have to have the toys to hand when I’m playing? Or can I place them on the portal thing once and the game always knows I have it, so I can just select characters/ levels from a menu?

I don’t want to clutter my house with the figures but there are so many packs I’m interested in. If they offered all the stuff as DLC I’d jump on it.

Hi! I’m afraid you have to have all the toys to hand when playing. I suppose it’s to stop people borrowing their friends’ toys, scanning them in and giving them back.

Thank you for taking the time to put all of this out there! Really really helpful.

Adventure Time Level Pack – All Collectibles Locations

The Adventure Time  Level Pack expansion features a brand new stage for players to explore. There are 10 minikits and 1 rescue — just like every other level included in the main story, Level Packs, or Story Packs.

Unlocking Minikits in LEGO Dimensions can be particularly tough — you’ll need all the right figures. If you don’t have a figure with the power listed below, use the Hire-a-Hero system to summon-up the character you need. A “?” block will appear next to every interactive device and show the full list of heroes with the power you need.

Minikit #1:

• Required Powers:  BMO
• Location:  Tree House Troubles – Early in the level, look for a BMO station on the left side of the tree house interior room. Find all seven gold bugs in the digital maze to complete the challenge and earn yourself a minikit.

Minikit #2:

• Required Powers:  Flight
• Location:  Tree House Troubles – Moving on to the treasure room, you’ll need someone that can fly — someone like the Wicked Witch, Slimer, or Superman! Smash all the LEGO stuff in the center of the room until you can build a big red button. Press it and multiple crystal-topped markers will activate across the room. Circle the room and punch each one of these markers to light them up — if you can fly to each and activate them all before the timer is up, you’ll get a minikit.

Minikit #3:

• Required Powers:  None!
• Location:  Tree House Troubles – Outside in the forest, look on the left side of the path for a maze with tiny vents — use the Dimensions shrink ability to enter the maze. You’ll unlock this ability if you complete the main story. Once you’re tiny, enter the maze and hit all three red buttons to make the third minikit appear.

Minikit #4:

• Required Powers:  Vine Cut
• Location:  Tree House Troubles – Finn has no problem cutting through vines with his shiny sword. Look for some vines deeper into the forest area (before Mount Cragdor) — there’s a wall of vines blocking off one more minikit.

Minikit #5:

• Required Powers:  Diffindo, Master Build
• Location:  Mount Cragdor! – Look for a red wall on the mountain’s cliff near a giant googly-eyed monster. Only Harry Potter can interact with this wall. Trace the dotted line and then construct the hopping bricks. That makes the giant open his mouth! Go inside, use a Master Builder (Emmet, Wyldstyle) on the purple marker near the back-left of the giant’s insides. This will get you the parts for the fifth minikit.

Minikit #6:

• Location:  Mount Cragdor! – Inside the same monster’s insides, use the DJ turntables to the left of the dance floor. Jump onto the matching tiles — this is like a game of Simon Says — and there are three rounds you’ll need to complete. Match the tiles three times and you’ll get your minikit.

Minikit #7:

• Location:  Mount Cragdor! – There’s still more to do in this gross monster’s insides. Dive into the intestine track through the lower-right entrance. Drop into the water and swim through the bowels, punching all the LEGO brick obstructions. There are five in total — get them all for another minikit.

Minikit #8:

• Required Powers:  Laser
• Location:  Mount Cragdor! – Yes, there’s still another minikit to unlock inside that giant monster’s guts. This time, look for a rope hanging from the top of the monster to the right of the dance floor. Climb up, jump to the extra ropes to the left (then right) to reach another area of the monster. Find the ‘Party Pat’ sign and use a red laser (Superman, Cyborg, or others!) to cut through the gold LEGO. Cut it down and the next minikit comes tumbling out in pieces.

Minikit #9:

• Location:  The Candy Kingdom – On the pier with all the traps, Finn will need to smash them all to earn the minikit. Use his laser first, then his grapple, then his laser again, and finally cut through the red LEGO at the base of the last trap to break all four. The minikit appears in the stunt-jump circle, just ride your car over the boost pad to grab it.

Minikit #10:

• Required Powers:  Charge Transfer
• Location:  The Candy Kingdom – Once you arrive in the abandoned subway station, switch to one of the Ghostbusters (2016) — use her on the Charge Transfer station in the lower-right, then enter the upper-left subway car to backtrack to the first room of the subway station. From here, drop down to the lower-left train tracks where the uncharged station is located. Charge it up! You can’t activate it yet — instead continue on until you open the subway shutters to the exit stairs. Don’t go up the stairs, just shoot the crate to get a Dimensions ability — the color dye ability. Now return to the minikit cage at the start of the station and match the colors on the device to free the final minikit.

[ Work-In-Progress: The minifig rescue will be added soon! Check back later for updates. ]

Endless Sea of Possibilities

After a brief cut scene, you land in the introductory area of Lego Dimensions. Watch where you step. Use the coins to show you where to step. When you get to the end of the path, go right up the steps to get to a Keystone.  You will need the big / small keystone for the task at the top of the left steps. If you have the witch as a character, this will be a lot easier for you, as she will fly rather than die if you accidentally walk off the edge of the land. Remember to look for studs to collect. There is a purple on top of the maze on the left. As with previous mazes, you will need a large character to pick up, place, and move the maze block, as well as a small character to walk the maze, and one to shrink, walk under the low lying block, then grow and hold it in place. 

Activate the Portal Keystone.  This will open up portals so that you can travel to each of the 3 large cubes. Land on each of the 3 portals, which reveals some ghosts, the Short Puffs Man, and some floating islands with fire, elextricity, and ice blasting from them. Activate the elemental keystone, then climb the steps and attempt to hop onto the floating island with the matching element (water to put out the fire. Fire to melt the ice. Electricity because that's the only one left). Again, having the witch as a character protects you if you miss the island and fall. 

After each island, more land will appear to walk on, then some steps.  Standing on a green step means you get more ground.  Standing on a red step means you get less ground. Again. Good to have a broom when you fall off. If you step on a red block, move back quickly before it disappears and you die. If you step on a green block, wait for the next set of blocks to appear. Look at where the new blocks are to tell you where to go. If a new line appears, walk forwards. If a lew line of blocks does not appear, walk left or right. At the end of the blocks is another island, full of enemies to fight. I used fire element to melt the ice to make the fire appear. Unable to return to try the other islands.  I do not know if the other islands result in the same path, or different paths. Follow the coins to another section, and a brief cutscene. Follow the coins forwards, and an elemental keystone arrives.  

There is a fire path, with electricity blocks appearing in a pattern along the path.  There is an electricity path, with fire blocks appearing in a pattern along the path. There is a clear path in the middle. 

Use magic to complete a puzzle at the end of the middle path to open the block and reveal a yellow chroma pad, and a tile with a red L shape. Use the water element to walk up the fire path on the left, being careful to move out of the way of the electrical blocks as they move around. Use magic to complete a puzzle again, and you will reveal a blue chroma pad, and a tile with a red dot. Use the electric element to walk up the right path. Use magic to complete the puzzle, to reveal a red chroma pad, and a blue right hand side L shape tile.  

Activate the chroma keystone, and have your characters turn the left and centre of the game pad red, and the right blue. After that, follow the screen for the necessary chroma combinations.  The last one was right blue, centre red, left orange (red and yellow), which then triggered steps to the top of the blocks. At the top of the blocks, you wll now find a portal keystone.  Watch your game pad for the colour combination to trigger the next scene (mine flashed yellow, blue, pink), and go through the portals in that order to press the buttons on the big blocks to trigger a cut scene. 

• stud collecting tip* look out for floating objects.  Shoot at them to collect extra studs. 

Minikit location?

On top of the set of blocks at the right is a gold access arcade dock.   Needs gamer character to access. 

On top of the set of blocks at the left is a drill spot.  You need a drill spot to access it. Minikit revealed. 

After the cutscene, use magic to build the parts into an accelerator and power it with a vehicle. This will bring up more of the disappearing blocks. Move quickly if a block turns red when you step on it, as it will disappear. Follow the path to the next section. 

Minikit location

If you follow the path to the right, it will end with a block will with a cracked front.  You will need a character with Cracked ability (Bane) to smash it to get to the minikit. 

There is more than one green path to follow. Some lead to minikits.  Some lead to stud collection points.  One leads to the next chapter. Remember to keep shooting at floating objects when they appear to collect studs. Left, then forwards, then to the right will take you to another island, and some more enemies to fight. Follow the coins to reveal the path to the next task island. 

This island has a big / small puzzle, which releases choma pads. Do the big small puzzle first using the keystone. Look at the puzzle to see which path is lit up green. Do that one first, to get to the button to open up the next bit of the path. Look in the sky to the left for the combination for the chroma pads (Left purple, right green, centre red). After you unlock the chroma combination, a new small block path will appear, as well as more large blocks, and another keystone. 

The big blocks are rotating.  You need to time your jump to the portals to coincide with twhen the coloured smoke from the blobk is pointing at its' matching portal. 

When you complete the portal task, a short cutscene will appear, followed by a firy path that you will need the elemental keystone to walk over (use water to put out fire, or fire to safely walk over it)

After triggering the small island at the other end of the fire path, use the locate keystone, then either fly, or use a vehicle to travel over the fire path to the island, where you will find a rift, which will drop a yellow brick road path. Be careful when you use your vehicle to jump over the gap in the path that you do not go shooting off the other end. At the end of the yellow brick road is another keystone.  When you walk to it, another island will appear.  Use the locate keystone to pull some steps out of the rift, which will allow your non-flying characters to get to the top of the tall island blocks. At the top end of the blocks are some blocks that will launch your character into the air.  This is fine, as you land on a new island.  Minikit location Wyldstyle can masterbuimasterbuild a chest with a minkit on this island. 

After revealing the minikit, walk to the other end of the island, and follow another green brick path. Just for a change, there are some blocks that you need to jump up to in this path. If you don't have the witch yet, prepare for many deaths by overshooting the tiny blocks. Beware. Not all of the newly appearing tall blocks are green ones for the right path. Some will turn red and drop your character into the void. 

At the end of the path, you will reach another island full of enemies.  The red Daleks are tougher than the other enemies, and just get knocked back for a while, before finally dying. 

Finally, you will get to the evil lair, where there is a face off cutscene, followed by more enemies to fight.  

High Tension Dimension

Final Boss fight.  After a cut scene, some enemies will be sent to fight you.  Kill them, then head for the back left of the room.  Use the upgraded Batmobile (with tow bar) to pull off the front of the entrance to a room.  In the room is a range of tasks.  Break items out of the jars on the shelves to reveal parts for Unikitty to assemble.  It is worth hiring Unikitty to do this, as she will make a rainbow adaptation to the portal, which will take you to Unikitty Land.  In unikitty Land, you can collect lots of studs, plus more than one  Minikit

Epilepsy / Migraine warning - after Unikitty builds the portal, a rinbow lighting effect close to strobe lighting is activated. 

Use Unikitty to break the gladss at the bottom of the rainbow slide to reveal some ghosts and a minikit. 

Break things until a portal keystone drops.  Use the portal to get the Doctor into the rainbow bandstand to the left, where he can hack out another minikit. 

There is a monkey flying with a minikit. Iam not sure how you get hold of that one. May need one of the Unikitty tasks. 

There is a tall arcade game with lasers. At the top is a switch and a minikit.  Needs a character that can change gravity to land, hit the switch, and release the minikit. 

Character Rescue

There is a female character and some dogs being held captive by a Dalek.  I do not know how you rescue her, but there are some Unikitty only tasks nearby, so you may need Unikitty to rescue her. 

Back to the Boss Battle. 

Activate the elemental keystone.  If playing as a single player, you will find this boss battle hard, as you need to hit the attacking spaceships whilst trying to match element and hit the boss. 

Use one character to shoot for the 2 spaceships. When the Boss is in Ice mode, put a character in fire mode, stang him close, and shoot a long burst of fire at him until the ice ball melts, and he falls to the ground stunned. Hit him, then run around and collect studs whilst he recovers. 2 more spaceships will be sent to attack you.  Destroy them quickly, as they will stop you attacking the Boss.  When the Boss goes to Fire mode, put a character in water mode and have them aim a constant stream of water at him.  The aim in this part is not good, so you will have to watch the water, not the target crosshairs.  If the end of the stream of water is on the fire ball, you will be putting out the fire.  Again, the Boss will fall to the floor stunned.  Hit him.  Collect studs whilst he recovers.  He will send a 3rd pair of spaceships at you.  Destroy the spaceships, then hit him with either water or fire again until he falls to the ground and starts a monologue of evil. 

Tip: you will not be able to sustain a stream of water / fire for long enough if the spaceships are hitting you, so you need to take out the spaceships before hitting the Boss each time. 

After the monologue, a Locate Keystone will drop.  Use it to find the item at the front right of the room.  The character that is pulled out of the rift will stop the Boss escaping.  

There will then be another cut scene, and another monologue, setting you up for the final chapter - the End is Tri. 

I hope you have found this Wiki helpful.  It's my first one ever, so I hope I have explained things properly. Feel free to fill in the gaps (or sort my formatting out) if you are able to fill in any of the gaps.

Back to the Future Time Machine

Why the new lego® back to the future set is even more incredible than ones from the past.

In 1985, Californian teenager Marty McFly met scientist Emmet “Doc” Brown for the first time, and one of the all-time great movie friendships was born. But equally as famous as the dynamic duo was the car that sped them off on their adventures through time.

Even if you’re not a Back to the Future mega fan, you’ve got to admit it’s still a really cool car.

In fact, the Doc said it pretty well himself: “If you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?” 

Well said, Doc.

Where we’re going we don’t need roads

The 3-in-1 LEGO® Back to the Future Time Machine set gives you multiple ways to build, each one representing a different movie from the trilogy. 

First, there’s the original, complete with the lightning conductor Marty and Doc used to get back to 1985. Then there’s the flying car from Back to the Future Part II, complete with fold-down tires for flight mode. Finally, there’s the version from Back to the Future Part III, with the tray filled with electronic parts from 1955 that takes Marty all the way to back the old Wild West.

Each one includes classic gullwing doors, travel dates printed on the dashboard, interchangeable license plates (including the iconic OUTATIME plate) and, of course, you can’t travel through time without a flux capacitor, which in this set even lights up.

Interestingly, in early drafts of the Back to the Future script the time travel device used by Marty and Doc was actually a fridge! 

Perhaps, if it hadn’t been re-written, we would be releasing a Time Travel Fridge set. We’ll have to go back in time to find out. 

The set also includes two new designs of minifigures Marty McFly and Doc Brown. Marty even comes with the iconic pink hoverboard featured in Back to the Future Part II.

It’s funny to think that the futuristic second film takes place on 22nd October 2015. Now, we’re past that date, but are still waiting for our hoverboards! 

We’ll just have to make do with the one included in this set.

I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet

Now, the Back to the Future mega fans out there will know that this isn’t the first time we’ve released a set based on the fan favorite trilogy. In fact, this will be the third. 

Back in 2014, we released the much smaller LEGO® Ideas Back to the Future Time Machine set (21103). Then, a few years later, there was the 2016 LEGO Dimensions Level Pack – Back to the Future Marty Time Machine (71201). 

But we don’t think that you can have too much of a good thing, and so we’re back with our biggest and most detailed set yet. The new LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set is on a similar scale to some of our other recent car builds.

Your chance to build the magic of the movies

There’s something amazing about movies like Back to the Future. Just the thought of them can inspire such wonderful, nostalgic feelings. And we think the Back to the Future Time Machine set is going to do the same for fans around the world. 

In some ways, it’s a shame that we can’t go back in time – then we could go back and see the movies for the first time again. But we think the future will be pretty great too, and with this set it will be even better. 

In the words of Doc Brown: “Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one.”
