Earlier today, Warner Bros released a new LEGO Dimensions trailer featuring Christopher Lloyd and the Back to the Future Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230). Clearly the focus was on the Doc Brown character but if you watched closely at the trailer at the 2:00 mark, they show a glimpse of Sauron from Lord of the Rings.
As we know by now, there wasn’t an official Sauron LEGO minifigure released when the theme was still going and many fans have been waiting for that particular minifigure. LEGO Dimensions could be a platform to release Sauron whether it be in a Fun Pack, a Team Pack, or even a Level Pack since there are already some LOTR characters already announced in the game such as Gandalf, Gollum, Gimli, and Legolas. We’ve already seen many exclusive minifigures for LEGO Dimensions that will be included in the game so I wouldn’t be that surprised if we see Sauron be added in the future.
What do you guys think? Do you think that a Sauron LEGO minifigure could be coming to LEGO Dimensions? Let me know in the comments.
Today, Warner Brothers has announced more expansion packs for LEGO Dimensions including a Back to the Future Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230) with the Traveling Time Train and complete with a full trailer featuring Christopher Lloyd himself. Note that the hair on this version of the Doc Brown minifigure is different from the one in the LEGO CUUSOO DeLorean Time Machine (21103).
Some other LEGO Dimensions Fun Packs that have been announced today include Ninjago Sensei Wu Fun Pack (71234), DC Comics Superman Fun Pack (71236), Aquaman Fun Pack (71237), Ninjago Lloyd Fun Pack (71239), and DC Comics Bane Fun Pack (71240). Also announced was a DC Comics Team Pack (71229) with The Joker and Harley Quinn minifigures and The Joker’s Chopper and the Quinn-mobile as the builds. Check out the LEGO Dimensions Back to the Future trailer as well as the full press release below.
Thanks to everyone who emailed in about this. I saw it this morning when the press release was posted but I was at my other job with no computer access.
“Great Scott!” LEGO® DimensionsTM Adds More Iconic Characters from DC Comics, Back to the FutureTM and LEGO® NinjagoTM with New Expansion Packs!
In a new video featuring actor Christopher Lloyd reprising his famous role as Doc Brown from the Back to the Future films, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment revealed today gameplay featuring even more beloved characters coming to LEGO Dimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay. In addition to LEGO Batman,
Here’s something many readers have been waiting for. The official images of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Ant-Man Final Battle (76039) set have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers. The set contains 183 pieces and will retail for $19.99. It has 3 minifigures including Ant-Man, Hank Pym, and Yellow Jacket. There have been reports that it is now available at Toys R Us stores. The official release of the Ant-Man Final Battle (76039) will be June 1st.
There is now an image of the Summer 2015 LEGO Ninjago Toys R Us exclusive set, The City of Stiix (70732). The image comes from a Malaysian Toys R Us catalog and it shows off a whole playset that includes a red fighter jet thing, a ship, and what I think is part of the city of Stiix as the set name implies. There also eight minifigures included in the set but it’s hard to tell exactly who they are at this time. This exclusive set will most likely priced at least $100+ and will only be available at TRU and LEGO Stores/Shop@Home.
Note The City of Stiix (70732) is different from the Ninjago Temple (70751) that is rumored to be released in August.
Update: Added clearer images of the set as well as a review of it by LEGO Burst.
Yesterday, I talked about some new LEGO exclusive sets that will most likely be available very soon at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. One of these sets is the LEGO Birthday Cake (40153). There are now official images of the set courtesy of Brickset. The set contains 120 pieces and includes all the pieces required to build ages 1-99. It also includes a Jester minifigure which is the same one from the 2010 LEGO Kingdoms Court Jester (7953) set. There’s no mentioning of pricing for the Birthday Cake but I believe it’ll be priced at $9.99 like the other smaller LEGO Exclusive sets. Hopefully the Birthday Cake (40153) will be available on June 1st because it’ll be just in time for my birthday in the middle of the month.
If you pre-order the LEGO Jurassic World video game from GameStop from now until the game is released on June 12, they’ll also throw in a bonus for buying the game which is the Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag. It consists of 29 pieces and the main draw of the set is the “Gallimimus” dinosaur mold. Clearly this particular dinosaur isn’t a Gallimimus but a re-colored Coelophysis from the 2012 LEGO Dino sets. Although Gallimimus is an omnivore, it was toothless and mainly feasted on plants, insects, and smaller animals. This version of the dinosaur has some very sharp teeth shown with a green and brown skin color. Whatever you decide to call it, it is exclusive to this polybag as it does not appear in any other LEGO Jurassic World sets.

On the trap itself, it holds a piece of meat on the back and when the Gallimimus goes in to eat it, the chains come down to trap it. What’s nice about the set is the white Jurassic World printed 2×2 tile which I believe is exclusive to this set. Correct me if I’m wrong on that note as I have not purchased any LEGO Jurassic World sets yet. Other than that, the trap isn’t that spectacular but that’s how polybag usually are.
Results
Overall, the Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag is a neat one considering that if you’re planning on getting the LEGO Jurassic World video game from GameStop, it’s already included with your order. The dinosaur itself is exclusive to this There … Continue
Brickset has revealed a couple of neat LEGO sets from various shops by Aanchir who is over in Billund. Some of these sets are exclusive to LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home like the Birthday Cake (40153) which has enough pieces for you to build from ages 1-99 and includes a Jester minifigure. The other sets are a brick-built Piggy Bank (40155) and a LEGO Friends Organizer (40156) shaped like a butterfly. The last set that’s been found is the LEGO Friends Heartlake City Airport (41009) which will most likely be a retailer exclusive set.
Personally, I really like the Birthday Cake set as I can see it being used for many occasions. I also do like they give you all the pieces needed for the ages. There’s no word on when/if the sets will be available for the rest of the world but I sure do hope they make it here one day.
