While LEGO Dimensions might be late to the toys to life race they have an absolutely killer portfolio of licenses to work with. Just look at all the LEGO Games, Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, DC characters like Batman and of course Back to the Future. While Han and Indy will probably be MIA thanks to Disney Infinity there’s still a lot LEGO Dimensions has to offer and that’s not even including the whole imagine and build aspect that LEGO brings to the table that no one else does better. The press release below even brings up one of the shortcomings of Disney Infinity, up to seven items to be brought into a game world, no limitations. The Joke riding a T-Rex, Marty and Harry teaming up, Biff and Bane taking over the world, Dorothy and Gandalf bring the pain to the Wicked Witch and I’m sure you can come up with thousands of other team-ups you want to see. The more expansion packs we get the bigger and better our crazy stories can become. LEGO Dimensions is dropping for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U on Sept 27th for US and Sept 29th 2015 for EU.

PRESS RELEASE
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 LEGODimensions, the upcoming entertainment experience that merges physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay. In addition to LEGO Batman, LEGO Gandalf and Wyldstyle, the three minifigure heroes used to start the experience, LEGO Dimensions will allow gamers to customize their experience post-launch and throughout the first half of 2016 with additional packs from the previously announced brands, including: DC Comics Team Pack featuring LEGO Joker and LEGO Harley Quinn minifigures, three additional DC Comics Fun Packs featuring LEGO Superman, LEGO Aquaman and LEGO Bane minifigures, Back to the Future Fun Pack with LEGO Doc Brown minifigure and two additional LEGO Ninjago Fun Packs with Sensei Wu and Lloyd minifigures.
These highly collectible Team Packs and Fun Packs will provide new buildable characters, vehicles, tools and gadgets, as well as special in-game abilities. All expansion packs provide gamers the opportunity to use everything interchangeably, anywhere throughout the game, in any world with any character – there are no limitations.
Players can bring up to seven characters, vehicles and weapons into the LEGODimensions game all at once by placing them on the LEGO Toy Pad to create extreme gameplay cross-overs, such as LEGO Superman piloting the LEGO DeLorean Time Machine through Hill Valley or LEGO Doc Brown fighting alongside LEGO Bane in New Ninjago City.
Future expansion pack purchases will continue to work with the LEGO DimensionsStarter Pack, even in the fall of next year. No compatibility chart necessary.
Additional well-known brands and expansion packs joining the adventure for 2015 and 2016 will be announced in the coming months.
