It doesn’t come out for a couple of weeks, but Amazon has discounted the pre-order for the LEGO Batman Movie Dimensions story pack from $49.99 to $29.99. It includes Robin, Batgirl, and likely a whole lot of movie references and jokes.
It also looks like the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack and the Ghostbusters Story Pack are both down 20% to $39.99.
Right now, Amazon and Best Buy are discounting a ton of LEGO Dimensions sets by tons of dollars. The discounts range from 40-60% off. Amazon has sold out of some of the Dimensions items but Best Buy has them in stock. Here are some highlights:
And if you’re a Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member, you’ll net an additional 20% discount on top of the already low prices.
And on a similar note, I was in Toys’R’Us the other day and noticed they had the Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack back on the shelf. I can only assume that they fixed the ghosting issue.
The Toys’R’Us timed-exclusive LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack is being recalled. A stop sale has been issued for the vampire queen. The NFC chip is defective in that when scanned in, nothing appears on the screen. Since there are now a limited number of defective units out in the wild, I can’t imagine this being of any interest to speculators or collectors. As a defective unit, it is essentially useless. WBIE will hopefully fix the issue and start shipping corrected Fun Packs in the near future.
The Marceline Fun Pack is a limited-time Toys’R’Us exclusive, meaning that other retailers will eventually be able to sell the pack. Do not fall to the dark side. Do not fall for aftermarket prices. A little patience and it will be much easier to get.
I didn’t post any Black Friday deals because, let’s be honest, it’s a freaking mess. How many times have you heard the phrase “Black Friday starts today!” and it’s like in the middle of August? Or, “Cyberweek starts last week!” I long for the days when stores would stay closed on Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday actually started on Monday. Anyways, we’ll post the deals as they come in to the best of our abilities because LEGO is expensive and every discount helps.
Right now, Amazon has a really nice discount on a number of Fun, Level, and Team packs for LEGO Dimensions. Discounts range from 30-50% off. They are:
I’ve been a bit slammed lately, so haven’t been able to get the live streams scheduled for Dimensions. But the game is still out there and still a whole lot of fun. Amazon has all of the starters marked down for the various platforms (though I’d suggest sticking to Xbox One or PS4) for those who have missed earlier sales.

The new year of LEGO Dimensions has hit shelves (well, some of them… I had to ask the clerk at Best Buy to find them for me), and that means that there’s a whole lot of game playing to be had. For our second session, we’re going to crack open the new Ghostbusters Starter Set (and probably sprinkle in a few other new minifigures because we can). Please hop on our Twitch Channel and start chatting with us and your fellow Bothans!

@LEGODimensions tweeted out the above picture a couple of hours ago as of this writing of the Sloth minifigure from the upcoming Goonies expansion pack. I for one am relieved and giddy at the fact that they are using an accessory on top of a regular minifig head to for the figure instead of one molded piece. As far as I can tell, there is no release date yet for the Goonies pack but you can bet we’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for any updates.
