There’s a side area that you missed.

Link manages...

Bane’s vehicle will have the drill, in May. But yeah, the options for that are slim.

There’s some more figured in May, but they haven’t announced past that. I’d expect to hear more later this spring.

Supposedly there’s two or three things that you’ll need Slimer in wave 5 to get. But wave 4 should unlock the vast majority.

With the only set with the standard-size Ant-Man out of print (seriously, LEGO, you got rid of it after only six months?) the thought of someone doing that when I couldn’t find one makes me sad.

Now that they’ve dubbed 3.0 “the one true Disney Infinity”, I don’t suppose we might see backwards compatibility for the older play sets added?

Maybe they figure they can’t make it back, but better to cut their losses now than to pay the money to create all the cartridges and pay their devs for the next two months until release.

You don’t have to organize it “for real”, but buy some gallon-size Ziploc bags and keep each set together.

Main game was September, but the Force Awakens playset wasn’t released until the same week (same day?) as the movie.

Really? I can’t speak for earlier games (having no prerendered cutscenes would surprise me but I wiuldn’t disbelieve it), but I’m 98% sure all of the LEGO Dimensions cutscenes are prerendered (which is why you never see non-main-three characters in them)....

They already released the Disney Infinity adaptation of the movie. Adding a LEGO game six months from now isn’t going to affect the sales of that.

It was for The LEGO Movie Videogame, to match the mocie’s aesthetics. I suspect they prefer having heavy detail for the rest of the worlds, which is why they haven’t changed other games since then.

Star Wars worked great without audio (or at least in the first two games). Harry Potter was a confusing mess (as someone who’s watched the movies and read the books).

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was technically based on the comics, not the movies. Its story ignored the MCU plot-wise; however, for characters/places from the MCU, it used their MCU appearances (because those are the LEGO versions of them that exist).

As announced, the rollback feature lets you roll back to the one you had before the latest patch. (So if you’re on v1.0, then upgrade to v1.1, then to v1.2, you could only roll back to v1.1 and not v1.0. But if you jump from v1.0 to v1.2, you should be able to jump back to v1.0 but not v1.1.)

Ugh. No. Thanks to his role in Skylanders and what little I saw of Brock Samson in Poker Night at the Inventory 2, his voice is synonymous with “arrogant self-absorbed blowhard” to me.

It’s the lesser evil, but maybe the real answer was “don’t do Ghostbusters, do more Doctor Who and Portal”.

Yeah, it’s expensive, but so’s the $150+ I paid for the Millennium Falcon. :-P

“More expensive stuff” isn’t a rule, though - the $150 Millennium Falcon set from this year (same price as the modulars) had quite a number of stickers. Whereas even as recently as 1998/1999 some stuff that couldn’t be reused would still get printed (for example, the five-red-stripe pieces on the first X-wing set).
