LEGO Minifigures Online Appears to be Cancelling in October

May 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It appears that the LEGO Minifigures Online video game will be ending later this year when the licensing agreement ends in October. Funcom has released their annual report and the numbers did not meet the forecasts of the company, mainly with the lack of players and revenue generated.

The beta version of LEGO Minifigures Online was first introduced in 2013 when it was a free-to-play MMO game model with microtransactions in game. It was then relaunched into a full game in 2015 and it was changed to a buy-to-play business model where you purchase the full game first.

The game had a tie-in with the physical LEGO Collectible Minifigures which included codes to unlock specific minifigures in game, each with their own abilities.

Funcom communicated in the Q3 2014 report that the initial numbers coming in from the first weeks of live data indicated that it would take longer than planned to achieve the internal targets for player and revenue in 2014 and 2015. The Company has during 2015 been unable to improve these numbers. As a result of this the revenues generated by LEGO® Minifigures Online did not meet the internal forecasts. The Company has therefore fully written off the underlying assets of the game. As of the time of this annual report, the Company does not find it likely that any of the game metrics will improve, and has adjusted its investment in the game accordingly. The license agreement with LEGO for the LEGO® Minifigures Online game ends October 2016.

Sonic the Hedgehog Rumored to be Confirmed for LEGO Dimensions

May 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There are some new rumors regarding some of the expansion packs for Series 2 of LEGO Dimensions. CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has reported that one of the packs is “confirmed” to be Sonic the Hedgehog (71244). Of course, nothing is really confirmed until there are there actual details about them but CM4Sci has proven to be a very reliable source of information. Furthermore in the thread, there are strong suggestions that the KR (71252) pack will be based on the Knight Rider franchise.

To give a short roundup of some rumored LEGO Dimensions expansion packs for Series 2, we have the promotional Supergirl from E3, Sonic the Hedgehog, Knight Rider, Jillian Holtzmann from the Ghostbusters reboot, Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Fantasitc Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Teen Titans GO!

I have a feeling we’ll have more information about the next series of LEGO Dimensions expansion packs next month at E3 as well as San Diego Comic Con in July.

LEGO Dimensions Supergirl (71340) Image Found

April 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There hasn’t been much news lately about any future expansion packs for LEGO Dimensions but Huw over at Brickset has found some instructions on a new Supergirl (71340) Dimensions pack which includes a first look at the minifigure. From the looks of it, a majority of the minifigure is the same as the Supergirl we got in the Brainic Attack (76040) set except that the head and hair are new.

There’s no mentioning on how to get it but Just2Good over in the article says it will be an E3 exclusive promo in June. If this is true, hopefully she’ll be available at a later time so people who can’t attend E3 will be able to get one in an expansion pack.
