Keeping up with all the news about Lego Dimensions is no easy task. Having announced the game with Batman, The Lego Movie, Lord of the Rings, Oz and Back to the Future, it was inevitable that there would be more. Just how much more is still kind of mind-blowing.
Perhaps not as mind-blowing as the gameplay that promises an unholy mix of Sonic Screwdrivers, Portal Guns, Timelords and Aperture Scientists. Some materials published today by Lego show the build instructions for a whole series of different Lego Dimensions products.
Firstly we have confirmed in full Lego glory that Jurassic World, The Simpsons, Scooby Doo and Portal 2 will be coming to Wii U in brick form. But more exciting is the appearance of a diminutive Peter Capaldi mini-figure fronting up the Doctor Who level pack.
This isn't just characters like The Simpsons or Scooby Doo but full adventures in Lego form. The twelfth Doctor comes with a Tardis and K-9 kits that suggest you will be doing some time travelling when the game comes out in September.
Even trying to imagine how portals and time travel may work together is enough to stretch our tiny brains, so we've decided to hold that thought until we see more of the game at E3.
Is this the full line-up or are there other packs still to come? The Lego numbering on the packs suggests there are still some others to discover. But what will they be? Star Trek? Sherlock? Breaking Bad? Who knows - but feel free to post your suggestions below.

Come on Lego X-Men!
Wow, that Doctor figurine looks nice, but I'd better avoid Lego Dimensions. I'm already far too addicted with Amiibo.
well I doubt Star Trek as Lego don't have the Star Trek licence, Kre-o do
@captain_gonru they already announced that instead of doing a annual release they will update the game to be compatible with new content, all the content they will release until the end of 2016 (or was it 2017) will be compatible for sure, after that it's unknown.
@Captain_Gonru I reckon they will just keep rolling out new sets, they would make more money that way I think
This game is, like, the perfect heist. Because this is going to empty more bank accounts than all amiibos, Skylanders and Infinity figures combined.
Aww, man, I hope this doesn't mean there won't be a full Lego Doctor Who game, because I've been hoping there would be one ever since Lego Doctor Who was announced. This all still awesome though! Portal, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings... Must... Resist... Buying!..
This is probably the closest thing we'll get to a Portal game on the Wii U.
@ChibiJib this and the portal pinball dlc for zen pinball 2.
GOODBYE HARD EARNED CASH
Need Lego Dalek. I'm sure they'll be in the game and the Dr will be blowing them into little Lego bits w /his sonic screwdrivwr, but they still need an actual toy Lego Dalek.
I'd love to get every single set, but these things are a tad pricey.
Seeing as the last few Lego games have been buggy, unfinished pieces of crap, I'm unsure about this game.
Expected. I never watched Dr. Who anyways so I don't care for him.
I need to see how these games play before I buy into it. All the characters coming out is very exciting though.
The Simpsons and Portal 2 are mostly was im excited for along with Batman, The Lego Movie, and LOTR, but for the others i'll give them a shot
Hmm, pretty nice! I've always wanted a Lego Doctor Who, and while that Doctor minifigure looks... awful, it certainly does make me excited! Shame I won't be buying Lego Dimensions, though. As cool as the concept is, I'll never fall for the "buy more stuff to get more game" sham that Skylanders and Disney Infinity has done.
@TantXL You should!
...Starting to want this, now.
Tom Baker or bust!
Oh Darn! We'd vowed we were going to ignore Lego Dimensions because we spend too much on Amiibos but Doctor Who? Now we're onboard! And if we're going to get Doctor Who, we might as well get some others so we can have crazy crossovers. Peter Capaldi's prickly Doctor teaming up with Scooby Doo? Mind blowing
I was perfectly fine ignoring this game until now. I will check it out at E3, but if it doesn't blow me away then I will most likely be able to skip it. I am already collecting Amiibo and Disney Infinity. I hope this Doctor Who Lego stuff does well enough to justify a stand-alone Doctor Who Lego game.
@DarthNocturnal
Amazon has the packs for 30$ USD and the base game is 100$ USD.
So, this is a game where Homer Simpson and Marty Mcfly can ride the Tardis to fight crime? Well. I suppose my family are bankrupt this year.
Passing on Skylanders and Disney Infinity then. Amiibos are hard to get anyway
The real question we all should be asking is, "Will I need to purchase and use Lego Harry Potter and Lego Batman to visit the level a second time to unlock all the red bricks in the Doctor Who level?"
I never really was a fan of Doctor Who but it's nice to see that LEGO is trying to get pretty much any franchise in here that's not Disney (waiting on you, Harry Potter...)
Doctor Who is a great franchise for this type of game. There are so many Doctors, companions and villains that the potential is huge and almost unlimited.
If they add Minecraft it'll all come full circle
Hopefully this leads to a Lego Doctor Who game. I REALLY want a standalone game with a level per episode with all the Doctors and the Master and the Daleks and the Cybermen and....
Seriously though. Just imagine the possibilites. You could fly a lego TARDIS using the gamepad.
I'm still not convinced this is legit. The doctor who set is possible, considering they are releasing a LEGO ideas set, but Chell still seems unconvincing.

ALONS-Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... yes, you can say I am excited.
I want Lego Game of thrones !
