I received the Story Pack for The LEGO Batman Movie for LEGO Dimensions from Warner Interactive Entertainment to play with and review. This is a review of the LEGO pieces for the game with some limited gameplay, but not much. More gameplay will happen in another video

This past Saturday I went and saw the LEGO Batman Movie. It was a lot of fun and it made really excited to get home to the package that was waiting for me with the LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack for LEGO Dimensions. I could not wait to play it. However, I would have to wait a few more days until today to actually get to play the game. There was also the downloading of the new software updates but I was smart about that, I got that done in the morning so that I could play the game when it came time to get down to playing.

The Story pack comes with the Bat Computer ” ‘Puter” plus Batgirl and Robin. Batgirl is considered a Bonus Minifig for the game. There is also the vehicle, the Batwing that can also become Black Thunder and the Bat Tank. The Scuttler would have been cool but that would have been super complicated to make with this set. You also have to have the Batman minifig that comes with the starter pack to get the game started. This figure then becomes the LEGO Batman character from the movie. Robin can do a fun costume change but I won’t tell you what it is in case you haven’t already seen the movie. Robins abilities are: Acrobat, Illumination, Fix-It, Dive, Vent Access and when he does his Suit Rip he can: Vine Cut, Laser Deflector, Pole Vault and Glide. Batgirl can throw batarangs and she is also very smart and can solve puzzles. Here abilities are: Boomerang, Grapple, Rope Swing, Detective Mode, Stealth, Glide and High Security Access.

We also opened the Excalibur Batman figure which comes with the Bionic Steed. Excalibur Batman has the abilities of – Boomerang, Sword Switch, Vine Cut, Stealth, Laser Deflector, Grapple, Super Strength and Master Build. The Bionic Steed can be reconfigured into the Bat-Raptor and the Ultrabat.

Gameplay with all the characters was really fun. We had a good time playing and these would certainly be welcome additions to any player’s collection of LEGO Dimensions. Here is our video including a bat computer speed build.

A Return Trip From #Dad2Summit – I Got my Skylanders Imaginators ZookaSarus Rex!

Today I returned home from the Dad 2.0 Summit. I wasn’t sure what would await me in terms of the snow that would be all over my car. I had to park on the roof of the parking garage when I flew out and it snowed multiple times while I was gone. The snow was what made me arrive a couple of hours after I was scheduled to arrive home in the first place. I finally arrived home around 3:30pm. Not terrible but not great, the day was pretty much shot. Everyone at home had been enjoying, or was quite sick of, the snow that we had. Thanks to Allison and the kids and our neighbors and my dad came to shovel us out while I was gone. I now have to figure out what to do about the snowblower as it is not functioning.

I also returned home to a bunch of boxes. I received packages containing some LEGO Dimensions packs including the LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack and the Excalibur Batman Fun Pack. These are for reviews later on. I also received the Skylanders Imaginator that I created and had 3D printed. It came out so good, too. My friend Wayne sent me a ton of Modibot pieces and figures so that I could use them to try and make some stop motion videos. I also received the Loot Crate Marvel Gear + Goods crate and I’ll do an interesting unboxing later this week, too.
