Stepping back from all the toy fair news, earlier today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment sent over a press release and a trailer video for LEGO Dimensions feature the different doctors in the game including the Twelvth Doctor from Doctor Who, Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters, and Doc Brown from Back to the Future.

For the first time in any LEGO videogame, characters and vehicles from some of the biggest entertainment brands in the universe converge in LEGO® Dimensions™. In a new short trailer illustrating the game’s crazy, possible mash-ups, Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters™, Doc Brown from Back to the Future™, and The Doctor from the long running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, unexpectedly come together.

Fans can play through individual levels based on these popular properties in the game’s main story. Players can also explore one distinct, freeplay Adventure World for each of these entertainment properties with any LEGO Dimensions minifigure belonging to that brand. Each Adventure World provides players access to additional gameplay content and exploration throughout some of the most iconic locations from each brand’s universe.

Ghostbusters fans who want to spookify their LEGO Dimensions experience beyond the Ghostbusters level in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack can add the Ghostbusters Level Pack featuring “A Spook Central Adventure!” a mission-based Ghostbusters level where players must fight Gozer and save New York City. The pack comes with a buildable Peter Venkman LEGO minifigure and Proton Pack, Ecto-1 and Ghost Trap – all playable in the game. Players can replay through the game

In a few days, LEGO Dimensions will be releasing wave 3 of various expansion packs for the video game. These packs have discounts of 25% or more on Amazon and they will be released on January 19.

As you can see above, one of them will be the Ghostubsters Level Pack (71228) which includes a new Peter Venkman minifigure, a mini Ecto-1, and a ghost trap.

Next up is the DC Comics Team Pack (71229) which includes the Joker and Harley Quinn, the Joker’s Chopper, and the Quinn-mobile.

The last three expansion packs that will be released are the Back to the Future Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230), Ninjago Sensei Wu Fun Pack (71234), and the Doctor Who Cyberman Fun Pack (71238). The Fun Packs are 50% off the retail price.

If you’ve been on the fence to pick up the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack because of the price, Amazon has the PS4 version on sale for $81.81 which is 18% off the retail price. The other versions of the game are still at normal price. You’ll be getting the game along with the Toy Pad, minifigures of Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle, and the Batmobile.

Update: Sorry folks, the deal is over.

The talk for the past couple of days is the release of LEGO Dimensions and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has also announced that there is also a LEGO Dimensions companion app to go along with it. The app lets you do a variety of things like learning more about the expansion packs including getting the build//rebuild instructions. You can also unlock badges and get exclusive wallpapers for your desktop and mobile devices.

One downside of the app is that it is a whopping 135MB so if your device is full, you might not be able to download it until you free up some space. Another is that there are some glitches here and there. I’m sure some future updates will fix these issues.

The LEGO Dimensions companion app is now available on Google Play and will be on iTunes in the near future.

Take LEGO® Dimensions™ on the go with the official companion app. You can explore expansion packs, game videos and share your collection and wish list with family & friends!

The LEGO Dimensions companion app contains a wealth of information including videos, screenshots and expansion pack build/rebuild instructions.

App Features:
* Learn about the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack.
* Explore all of the expansion packs including Level, Team and Fun Packs.
* Keep track of your wish list to help you complete your collection.
* Build your collection and share it with friends to compare!
* Earn all of the badges to unlock an exclusive desktop and mobile wallpaper!
* Scan a LEGO Dimensions

LEGO Dimensions is now available and one of the major complaints I’ve seen from fans is the lack of instructions for the builds in the expansion packs. The booklet tells you to continue building using the in-game instructions however for some people who just bought Level, Team, and Fun Packs without the Starter Packs, they won’t be to create the builds without figuring it out by themselves.

Don’t fret because on the LEGO Dimensions Twitter feed, they have stated that the instructions will be on the LEGO Dimensions minisite shortly for everyone.

Update: It looks like the building instructions have been uploaded to the servers. To find the, head over to the minisite and click on the “Products” tab. There will find all the products that are currently available.

Once there, scroll down a little and click on the instructions icon.

After that, you’re taken to the building instructions page where you can download PDFs of the different builds.

Even though LEGO Dimensions doesn’t launch for a few more days, TT Games Executive Producer Mark Warburton has stated that there are more plans to roll out more expansion packs in the future. How many you ask? He has stated there is a three year plan cycle for more LEGO Dimensions Fun Packs, Team Packs, and Level Packs which means more minifigures.

We have a three year plan at the moment and we’ve got no intention of stopping there. We’ve created the technology to the degree that we’re happy it meets our needs for the future. We’ve created the toy pad so that it shouldn’t need to be updated. And we can just create new level and character packs to keep expanding that.

Warburton has also stated that you only need the Starter Pack to get 100% and the Platinum trophy so no expansion packs are needed to get all the achievements. LEGO Dimensions will be launching in two days on Sunday, September 27.

A couple of days ago, Paperballpark over on the Brickset forums provided some minor details about some upcoming LEGO Dimensions expansion packs. Currently there are only placeholder initials but there have been guesses already of what the packs could be.

Update: Removed.

As we get closer to the release of LEGO Dimensions, bits and pieces of the details for the game have been coming out. Over on Xbox Achievements, they have revealed the list of achievements you can get in the game. From the looks of it, you’ll need to purchase a few of the Level Packs to be able to get all the achievement points available. The Playstation version of LEGO Dimensions will most likely have trophies associated with it. Thanks to Doogal91 for the heads up.

In the game, there is an ancient planet at the centre of the LEGO® Multiverse inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It is said that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built upon, controls all of the Multiverse. Lord Vortech has vowed to be that ruler, summoning characters from a variety of LEGO® worlds to help him find these building bricks of LEGO® civilisation. Some have agreed, others have rebelled, and only the combined powers of the greatest LEGO® heroes can stop him.

When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics™, The Lord of the Rings™ and The LEGO® Movie are swept away. To save
