You’re a Lego brick now, Harry Warner Bros. has just officially announced the sets, plus an even bigger range of characters for later in the year, including Sonic the Hedgehog, The Goonies, Knight Rider, E.T., Gremlins, Beetlejuice, The Powerpuff Girls, and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them. Click here to see the brand new trailer. Pics of Lego Harry Potter, Lego B.A. Baracus, and Lego Tom Cruise have all been leaked ahead of the official announcement, and they look great. It’s been a couple of hours without an E3 leak, so feast your eyes on some of the new Lego Dimensions packs due to be revealed later today. The images come courtesy of Amazon Spain, which website Brick Inquirer noticed had jumped the gun on the official announcement. We pity the fool that doesn’t expect this to sell The product shots confirm previous rumours though, by adding characters from Harry Potter, Adventure Time, The A-Team, Mission: Impossible, and the new Ghostbusters to the original game.
The one with Mr. T is a Fun Pack, so it’s just him and his van (which can be remade into two other toys). The Team Packs are the same deal, just with two minifigures and two vehicles. A Story Pack seems to be almost a full Lego game in itself The Mission: Impossible and Adventure Time Level Packs will be brand new story levels for the game, in the mould of the Back To The Future and Portal 2 ones from last year. The Ghostbusters ‘Story Pack’ though is a new idea and shows a new Lego backdrop to fit on top of the existing Lego Dimensions portal, with the blurb promising a sizeable six-part adventure. There may well be a few of these, for different themes, instead of an actual Lego Dimensions 2. Does this mean we could get a Lego Simon Pegg too? All of the sets also talk about unlocking an Adventure World hub, which was in the original game, and a themed Battle Arena, which wasn’t. Other rumoured themes include Sonic The Hedgehog (as hinted at by the teaser below), Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, Teen Titans, The Goonies, The Powerpuff Girls, and Gremlins.
Hopefully we’ll see all of those officially later today, although they’re unlikely to be released all at the same time. But instead spread out over the course of the next 12 months.

LEGO Dimensions is LEGO's forary into the "collectible NFC toy video game" field (ala, Skylanders), and is set to feature toys from all of LEGO's "Dimensions", such as Batman, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Now, a leak of several of Dimensions's starting packs (courtesy of Bricknet) may have just spilled the beans on a rather major as-of-yet-unannounced LEGO property: Portal 2. Fans have tried numerous times to get official LEGO Portal sets via the Cuusoo program, but were ultimately all shot down in the end by LEGO. But, a LEGO Dimensions Portal 2-themed LEGO pack has appeared right alongside confirmed LEGO properties such as The Simpsons and Doctor Who as a part of the leak.
