These expansion packs will allow players sustained compatibility. Hence, they can use everything interchangeably from wave one to nine. Players can also use whichever setting or place they are in throughout the game. There is no starter pack required as long as players have the basic LEGO Dimensions Starter game. These packs also work with the current LEGO Toy Pad.
The franchise of the "LEGO Dimensions" series is composed or real Lego sets and figures. These sets connect to video game versions that are based on those toys. Dimensions can be played in PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U platforms. The content of the starter packs are also tied up to their films, Polygon wrote. Hence, for example, the Ghostbusters pack will contain themes that can be found in the upcoming film. The franchise's main competition is the Disney Infinity line, which is now defunct. Another competition is Activision's Skylanders, Kotaku reported.
Buying all packs may cost a lot. However, fans defend that this is a rare opportunity to find all their favorite characters all in one game.
