LEGO Dimensions to Keep Going for at Least Three Years

Even though LEGO Dimensions doesn’t launch for a few more days, TT Games Executive Producer Mark Warburton has stated that there are more plans to roll out more expansion packs in the future. How many you ask? He has stated there is a three year plan cycle for more LEGO Dimensions Fun Packs, Team Packs, and Level Packs which means more minifigures.

We have a three year plan at the moment and we’ve got no intention of stopping there. We’ve created the technology to the degree that we’re happy it meets our needs for the future. We’ve created the toy pad so that it shouldn’t need to be updated. And we can just create new level and character packs to keep expanding that.

Warburton has also stated that you only need the Starter Pack to get 100% and the Platinum trophy so no expansion packs are needed to get all the achievements. LEGO Dimensions will be launching in two days on Sunday, September 27.

LEGO October 2015 Double VIP Points Extended?

Double VIP points will be returning in October but as the LEGO Store Calendar states, it will only be available from October 1-4 which is pretty short. Even in March, the event was for a full two weeks. I’ve gotten a couple of messages from concerned readers and they contacted their stores to see what was going on. The responses they’ve gotten back was LEGO was extending the Double VIP Points until October 14. LEGO hasn’t officially said anything about it and I’m trying to find confirmation that this is true. I’ll give an update if there are some new details.

Update: LEGO Customer Service has confirmed that the Double VIP Points promotion will indeed be from October 1-14.

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) Now Available on Shop@Home

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303)

After a short delay, the LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303)icon set is now available for purchase on Shop@Home. Supposedly, the delay was to include parts 4211695 and 4265484 to help strengthen the neck area but the real problem is with the head joint can’t support the weight of the head. We’ll see if LEGO has addressed this issue as well with the delay or if we’ll have to find alternatives to fix it. One very popular solution is by Chris McVeigh who has posted a guide with parts to fix the head problem. There’s no word yet on when LEGO Stores will have them in stock.
