I was lucky that Warner Brothers Gaming sent me the Lego Dimensions starter pack for review because I would still be debating on whether to purchase the set if Warner Brothers Gaming had not reach out to me. Purchasing a new game requires commitment, regardless of the price tag. (check out this unboxing video)
Although the recommended age range for the starter pack is between ages 7 to 14, I found the building components of the package to be highly detailed, and maybe even challenging for adults. Consistent with all Lego products, the quality of this set is superb, with intricate details on the mini figures and the Lego Gateway.

One concern I had about Lego Dimensions was the concept of purchasing additional expansion packs to expand the game. Although purchasing expansion packs is nothing new in gaming, I was surprised at how soon I was prompt to purchase one, just shortly after rebuilding the Lego Gateway in the game, which took me 45 minutes to complete.

The Lego Dimensions game might just be the best in its class. As a casual Lego fan, I found the combination of real and touchable toys with virtual playgrounds, to be fun and innovative. Players will no longer have to rely on their own imaginations, but will be engaged in digital settings created by Lego. This game may not be for everyone, probably only the most committed Lego fans or gamers would be motivated enough to buy/collect the many expansion packs.
