LEGO Dimensions Wave 8 expansion packs revealed
Posted by TheBrickPal,
The following press release was issued today:
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today revealed details around three highly collectable expansion packs for LEGO Dimensions, the LEGO toy and videogame hybrid, that will be available on February 10, 2017. The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, Excalibur Batman Fun Pack and Knight Rider Fun Pack will broaden the selection of the world’s most popular entertainment brands allowing players to customize their experience by mixing and matching favorite characters and universes with full compatibility.
Coinciding with the release of the upcoming film on which it’s based, The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, will provide a deep, story-driven gameplay experience with iconic DC characters in six puzzle-packed levels and new LEGO Gateway bricks that allow players to build the Bat-Computer atop the LEGO Toy Pad. The pack comes with buildable Batgirl and Robin minifigures and the 3-in-1 buildable Batwing which can be rebuilt into The Black Thunder and Bat-Tank. Gamers can play the complete movie and band together with Batgirl and Robin to fight off the Joker and his team of villains. Batgirl’s batarang, glide and stealth abilities can reach areas with high security access and Robin’s agility and dive skills provide sneak access. Players can also transform Robin into the Nightwing, utilize his vine cut, and deflect moves for more crime-fighting adventures. Batgirl and Robin provide access to the new The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena with competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players.
Batman fans can broaden their LEGO Dimensions gameplay with Excalibur Batman from The LEGO Batman Movie. The Fun Pack comes with a buildable Batman minifigure and a 3-in-1 buildable Bionic Steed which can be rebuilt into the Bat-Raptor and Ultrabat for additional in-game abilities. Players can use Batman’s Master Builder and Sword Switching abilities to solve puzzles and take down enemies. Batman also provides access to The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure World and Battle Arena. The Excalibur Batman Fun Pack will release in North America first at Target.
Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. from the classic 80s TV series, Knight Rider, are also coming to LEGO Dimensions. Players can add the iconic duo with the Knight Rider Fun Pack featuring a buildable Michael Knight minifigure, and a rebuildable 3-in-1 K.I.T.T., that can be rebuilt into the K.I.T.T. Jet and Goliath Armored Semi for upgraded in-game powers.
In the game, players can activate Michael Knight’s dodging and dash abilities to solve puzzles and overpower enemies or use his Wrist Watch to uncover secrets behind x-ray walls and outsmart enemies by hacking into terminals and following trails. Players can also fight crime on four wheels with K.I.T.T., the highly advanced, artificially intelligent robotic vehicle, to boost their gameplay. Michael Knight provides access to a new Knight Rider Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena. The Knight Rider Fun Pack will release in North America first at GameStop.
Players can continue to broaden and customize their experience with new expansion packs releasing this year. The Ghostbusters Story Pack, Adventure Time and Mission: Impossible Level Packs, Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun Pack will be available on September 27 and the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack, Sonic The Hedgehog Level Pack, Gremlins Team Pack, and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Adventure Time Fun Packs will be available on November 18.

OK guys, time for a Bionic Woman/$6M Man Team Pack.
Lets see if there are packs to buy other than the A-Team or Doc Brown.
I second that Steve Austin/Jamie Sommers motion!
The Knight Rider pack sounds cool.
Next up: Airwolf! :-)
Some day, without a doubt! Some day, Nintendo will give a license to Lego.
Excalibur Batman is pretty neat. Yet another suit variant to pick up. This next year is going to be too Batman-y.
Airwolf would be amazing. Unlikely, but I'd buy two.
That Excalibur Batman Is Awesome
Excalibur Batman? Wonder if the horse-thing is important to the story
Yeah, The Hoff in minifigure form :)
Between the current trend in the US election and Lego making an official David Hasselhoff figure I'm afraid the end times are very near.
I would so lover to get into Dimensions but Lego/TT decided not to make it for PC :(
How come the Hoff doesn't come with a new cheeseburger molded piece?
@stet - For all the money it costs for the intro-pack, the figures themselves, etc., you be well off to get an inexpensive, lightly used console - and enjoy the game in all its glory. Do it! You will not regret it!
Really looking forward to these! Excited especially by more story packs showing up to expand the game beyond just adding characters and short levels. On another note, would you be able to put a wee header sentence in articles like these so readers know when you're directly reproducing a press release?
@stet You can pick up an Xbox 360 or PS3 really cheap these days, even the Xbox one or PS4 aren't too dear. It's well worth it to play dimensions!!! The game is brilliant now but it's about to get really crazy and even more brilliant when all these new franchises are released. It'll be great fun having all the batman characters on the toy pad together, there's bound to be some funny interaction between them all.
I think that Michael Knight minifigure looks pretty good! Kinda burned out on the idea of these TTL games, but the franchise cross-over opportunities that Dimensions can offer sure seems like a lot of fun.
Knight Rider! My childhood days all over again. Definitely going to buy A-team and Knight Rider. :-)
Wow... see how those legs for the Batman Excalibur Horse are constructed, it uses guns for the feet :O
That Batman looks pretty cool. I'm going to try to add him to my Batman collection.
Miami Vice?
Magnum PI?
Does the Excalibur Batman come with the sword pictured on the box?
I would love for there to be Steven Universe Dimensions packs you could get. Maybe it'll happen in 2017
I vote Patrick McGoohan as The Prisoner! His ride could be a Mini Moke, Super 7, or giant bubble!
" I am not a number..."
I second the real Hawaii 5-0, and would DEFINITELY buy a LEGO Steve McGarrett, Danno, Kono, and Chin-Ho! Maybe Kojak too, or even Jon and Ponch from CHiPs and their bikes!
I would love a Psych team pack with Shawn, Gus, and the blueberry.
