Ghostbusters fans who want to make their LEGO Dimensions experience spookier can add the Ghostbusters Story Pack. Players can relive the film and help Abby Yates and her team of Ghostbusters save the world from the mysterious and evil ghost, Rowen, across six action-packed levels of gameplay. They can equip Abby with her Proton Blaster to activate her Charge Transfer ability to move electricity between conduits, and use her Intelligence Access ability for puzzle-solving. The Story Pack unlocks “Rip,” a new Toy Pad mode allowing players to tear open an alternate universe. In this mirror world, players have the ability to solve puzzles and affect objects and other items in the primary universe. The pack also includes a 3-in-1 buildable Ecto-1 which can be rebuilt into the Ectozer and The PerfEcto, plus the Zhu’s Chinese Restaurant gateway build to customize the LEGO Toy Pad. Abby Yates provides access to a new Ghostbusters Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena.
In the Adventure Time Level Pack, based on Cartoon Network’s animated series, players can help Finn the Human on his mission to find the Enchidrion and prove to Princess Bubblegum that he’s a hero. Players can use one of Finn’s many special swords to cut vines, grapple, and even deflect lasers as they battle foes and travel through the Forest of Mount Cragdor, the Dark Magician’s Brain World and more in this exclusive game level. The pack also comes with a 3-in-1 buildable Jakemobile which can be rebuilt into Snail Dude Jake and Hover Jake. The 3-in-1 buildable Ancient War Elephant can be rebuilt into the Cosmic Squid and Psychic Submarine to blast through enemies and tackle trickier puzzles.

Fans of “Land of Ooo” can also add the Adventure Time Team Pack with Lumpy Space Princess and Jake the Dog.

Lumpy Car can be rebuilt into Lumpy Truck and Lumpy Land Whale, and BMO can be rebuilt into DOGMO and SNAKEMO. The Adventure Time Battle Arena offers extra-awesome abilities like Slurp Access, Grapple Swing and Shape Shift.

Players must infiltrate their way through the American Embassy, CIA Headquarters and more in this thrilling game level. Players can use Ethan’s Camera Spectacles for the perfect disguise and wear the Magno Gloves to sneak up walls. For a quick escape, players can hop onto the IMF Scrambler or IMF Sport Car, and then rebuild the 3-in-1 vehicles into the ShockCycle and IMF Covert Jet, and the IMF Tank and The IMF-Splorer to access a host of new super-spy abilities. Ethan provides access to a Mission Impossible Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena.
Harry Potter fans can bring the wizarding world to life in LEGO Dimensions with the Harry Potter Team Pack featuring the iconic duo of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. Players can use Harry to cast magical spells such as Wingardium Leviosa, Stupefy, and Expelliarmus to solve puzzles and fight off Death Eaters, or play as Lord Voldemort for access to Dark magic. When travelling across the Adventure World, players can jump onto the Hogwarts Express or Enchanted Car, and then rebuild the 3-in-1 vehicles into the Steam Warrior and Soaring Steam Plane, and the Shark Sub and Monstrous Mouth for special attacks and super weapons. Players can unlock the Harry Potter Adventure World and bring the fight between good and evil into the Battle Arena.
With The A-Team Fun Pack, players can smash their way through the LEGO multiverse with the classic action hero, B.A. Baracus. Players can add the mohawk-sporting mechanical genius to their mash-up adventure and use his Super Strength and Fix-It abilities, or activate his special A-Team Master Build and Laser Redirect skills for those harder-to-solve puzzles. B.A.’s Van can quickly get him where he’s needed most, then be rebuilt it into the Fool Smasher and, if B.A. can overcome his fear of flying, rebuilt again into The Pain Plane for upgraded powers in the game. B.A. provides access to The A-Team Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena.
Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO DIMENSIONS is now available for PlayStation4 and PlayStation3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Wii U system.

I thought the sets were released on Friday 30th September - that's when my pre-order of the Ghostbusters Story pack is arriving?
Nice wave! But i only just recently jumped on the Dimensions bandwagon, so first things first (waves 1-5).
@drlmiles - Notice the category- Shopping (USA)
In all honestly BA Baracus is the only one that attracts me (aside from Doc Brown).
It seems Target.com oversold the pre-orders on this wave as my pre-orders are now backordered for at least 2 weeks and possibly until Oct 30. I ordered both of the two Adventure Time sets, the Mission Impossible level pack, and the Baracus fun pack during that sale in August. At least the Ghostbusters pack ordered through Amazon will be here on time.
I pre-ordered several of these sets. Must remember to make time to pick them up today!
Of course Target oversold their preorders, they had them for 40% off for a few days.
When's ET out? I consider him to be Star Wars minifigure due to his inclusion in TPM so will definitely be picking him up!
As a huge fan of Adventure Time since it's premier, I find it odd that it's taken until now for Lego versions to be made. That being said, I'll be picking up all of the AT dimensions packs as soon as I see them in stores.
On a side note, is dimensions fun/worth the money for an AFOL? I've collected a few of the little electronic disks and I feel I'm paying a bit too much just for minifigures.
@kipper147, they're charming games, but they're not very deep. If you're familiar with any of the LEGO Batman/Marvel/Avengers/Star Wars games, it's the same style. All the puzzles are just a matter of having the right character in the right place in those games, all Dimensions is really bringing to the table is that now you're physically moving some characters around too.
Off the top of my head, I think I've bought about a half dozen of these over the years. A couple versions of Star Wars back on the original Xbox and then 360, and a couple LEGO Batman and Marvel games on the PS4, as well as Dimensions.
I've finished about half of them, and gone through and gotten every single collectable on two of them. If you have a strong affection for the source material and are prepared for a "light" gaming experience, I think it could be worth your time.
For me, the real release of year 2 happens when they go on sale. Awesome packs but way too expensive!
I check this site daily (or so I thought) and I never once heard of this big sale at Target on dimensions..too bad. I would have definitely picked up some of the packs at a discount. Until another sale happens, I'll wait. $11.99 for one figure isn't enough to sway me, and above $20-30 for the level/team packs I am definitely not rich enough to cover that since the game is of no use to me.
Well, it's about time! I have been earnestly looking forward to the release of these packs for several months... However, only two of them so far hold any significance to me. The two are the Harry Potter team pack and the Mission Impossible level pack. As for the rest, I could hardly care. Adventure Time? Really? I suppose it has its appeal to the younger fans, but still...
Buy the sets, keep the figures, resell the discs for half-price. That's what I've been doing, and it's working so far.
I receive my copy of Adventure Time from Amazon. I like the ability for Jake to change to different forms, especially the Jake suit where Finn can use (it combines Jake and Finn). Finn can also select all of the swords as seen on the tv show. The level is well designed and incorporate many elements that only hardcore fans will be able to notice.
The sets are well done, except for BMO that out of proportion compared to the other figures.
Overall, it's one of the best Lego Dimension set so far.
@kipper147 I'd suggest just buying the minifigures/sets you like. Nostalgia for the licenses and my enjoyment of Lego video games got me into this but my opinion is that the two can and should be separate. I don’t feel like the toy pad and 3D figures bring anything to the gameplay and in most cases having to move stuff around on the pad becomes a nuisance and breaks the playability of the game. The minifigs are great and the small builds but you can have those without playing the game also. I recommend if you want to play a Lego video game get a Lego video game and if you want to put together some Lego buy a set. The requirement of buying more sets to get full enjoyment of the game has finally soured me and while I’ll likely buy some more dimensions packs I doubt I’ll stick the disc into the PS4 to see their in-game interaction. (As an aside I think the 2-player is wonkier than any other Lego game I’ve played).
Where is Marvel Comics?
^ Still attached to Disney Infinity. I'm sure LEGO was never able to get the license for Marvel or Star Wars because of the competing toys-to-life game. Now that Disney shut down that studio and nothing else is coming, we may see it in the future.
Disney Interactive's local studio (Avalanche in Utah where Infinity's chief creative in both toys and software were developed) is still open though scaled down. They were soliciting last week via LinkedIn's ProFinder service for digital management and trafficking three Kickstarter projects— so it's possible Infinity IPs may not yet be releasable for inclusion in a platform like Dimensions.
Want those Adventure Time minis!
