Unused content[edit | edit source]
- Prototype images of the toy pad seem to suggest that a mobile version of the game may have been considered early on. How far in development it got, if at all, is unknown, as the device seen in one of the images uses footage from The Lego Movie Videogame as a placeholder.
- It appears that the mobile version would have included an exclusive feature called Car Labs, allowing players to mix and match pieces of different vehicles together.[1]
- Several rumored franchises planned for Year 3 include: Despicable Me, Captain Underpants, How To Train Your Dragon, Shrek, The Croods, The Smurfs, Avatar. Pirates of the Caribbean, King Kong, Godzilla, Minecraft, Angry Birds, Megaman, Classic Universal Monsters, Thunderbirds, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Tin Tin, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Flash and Arrow CW shows.
- Despite not receiving any sort of expansion, King Kong appears as a boss in the LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack due to his appearance in the film the pack is based on
- Initially Disney characters were off limits due to Disney already having their own toys-to-life series: Disney Infinity. The suggestion of Pirates of the Caribbean in Year 3 seems to imply that the limitation may have been lifted, granted that the pack would released after Disney Infinity was discontinued.
- Lord Vortech was originally intended to be featured in a fun pack with X-PO as the additional build; however, the game was discontinued before this could happen.[2][3] Additionally, as a bonus. Lord Vortech would have unlocked all the adventure worlds from Year One.
- Minecraft was planned as the fourth Story Pack. Nothing is known about the pack except that it was set to be the biggest Story Pack at the time and would have featured two minfiigures, one being Steve and the other unknown.[1]
- The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster from the Universal film adaptations were going to appear together in a Team Pack with some sort of operating table build.
- Mega Man was set to receive a Fun Pack. Interestingly, the adventure world associated with the pack is listed in internal documents as "Gaming Legends" unlike Minecraft which was going to have a dedicated Minecraft world, similar to the Sonic and Portal 2 Level Packs.
- The Despicable Me content was supposed to be the launching point for a new set of expansions called Connectables that would have continued into Year 3. These Connectables were said to allow players to upgrade their already existing characters and vehicles with new abilities and customization options
- While not the Arrowverse version, a Green Arrow figure was released at E3 2016 as well as being a Gamestop exclusive Black Friday bonus later the same year.
- The version of S.T.A.R. Labs from The Flash CW show can be found as a secret area in the Demiguise Double-Cross level in the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack.
- It's unclear if Avatar was supposed to be the 2009 film or Avatar: The Last Airbender, as conflicting reports suggest both.
- The 1996 version of the Doctor Who theme song from Doctor Who: The Movie was partially programmed to play in the Eighth Doctor's version of the TARDIS; before being removed due to licensing issues with Fox. The song can still be accessed via a glitch.[4]
- The initial Lego Dimensions pitch from 2014 included ideas for scrapped "upgraded power suit" accessories that players would have been able to put on the minifigures and and animal companions characters would have been able to ride.[1]
- Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings is featured in one of the images from the pitch, despite never appearing in any expansions in the final game.
- One of the images seems to suggest that Ray Stantz was planned as the character for the Ghostbusters level pack instead of Peter Venkman or possibly as part of a fun pack that went unproduced.
- Story Packs were originally going to have ten levels instead of only six.
- Mortal Kombat and APB were originally considered for the Midway Arcade level pack but were scrapped due to age rating concerns.
- Chunk from The Goonies was originally going to be included with Sloth in a Team Pack before it was changed into a Level Pack.
- Buttercup was originally going to be the second character in the Team Pack with Bubbles, before being swapped with Blossom.
- One of the original ideas for the villians of the story included the characters from the 1974 Family set becoming mad that they had been replaced with minifigures.[5]
- Tina was originally going to be included as part of the Fantastic Beasts Level Pack instead of in a separate Fun Pack.
- The Lego Batman Movie Story Pack was originally considered to include Batman and The Joker as the included figures instead of Batgirl and Robin.
- Scrapped content from franchises already included in the game include
- A Scooby Doo Level Pack along with additional members of the Mystery Gang.
- A second Doctor Who Level Pack featuring Missy and unspecified companions and villains.
- A Level Pack based on the 2017 Wonder Woman film.
- A Level Pack based on the Lego Ninjago Movie
- A The Powerpuff Girls Level Pack
- A Teen Titans Go Level Pack
- While never confirmed, it has been theorized that the bonus episode included with the adventure world may have repurposed the cutscenes intended for the scrapped level pack.
- Early concepts included a special attachment that would have allowed you to change how the RFID chip read the toy tag in order to equip powerups.
- Textures found in the files for unused characters include
- Ron Weasley from Harry Potter
- Reportedly Ron was supposed to have been included with Hermione in a Team Pack before Hermione was sold on her own in a Fun Pack instead.
- Percival Graves from Fantastic Beasts
- Barney Gumble from The Simpsons
- Skylor, Tournament Jay, Tournament Cole, Tournament Kai and Tournament Lloyd from Ninjago
- Vitruvius from The Lego Movie
- Charmy Bee, Vector the Crocodile and Espio the Chameleon from Sonic the Hedgehog
- Ron Weasley from Harry Potter
- Harry Potter was going to get a Level Pack in Year One but it was moved to Year Two in favor of the Simpsons Level Pack and changed to a Team Pack with Voldemort instead.
- A pack featuring the Lego Movie version of Batman was planned for Year One but was scraped and replaced with the The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack in Year Two. Lots of unused voice lines can be found in the files.
- A red brick titled "Always Batman" allows players to equip the movie version of Batman outside of the Story Pack levels and adventure world
- A Lego version of the Simpsons intro was supposed to be included as part of the Level Pack but was likely scrapped due to licensing issues.
- An unknown Polybag numbered 71341was discovered but nothing is known about what it would have included.
- A scanner peripheral that would have been able to scan phycial Lego models and insert them into the game was planned and later scrapped. It's unknown if it would have only worked with Dimensions branded products or all Lego models.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Similar to other crossover games such as PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Super Smash Bros., LEGO Dimensions is not canon to any of the included franchises.
- Unlike the other releases of the game, the Xbox 360 version didn't include any of the content from the Year 1 Level Packs on the disc, meaning players who didn't download these levels on their console before the store shut down in July 2024 can't access around 60% of the game, if you include the Year 2 content, which wasn't included on the disc for any system.[6]
- Players can use the characters included in the level packs but their levels and adventure worlds are inaccessible.
- Fun Packs and Team Packs are not affected by this.
- Despite still being available for download, none of the DLC will appear on the PS3 store when searching LEGO Dimensions. The only way to get it is through the content manager in the game itself.
- The Wii U version allows asymmetrical multiplayer in co-op instead of split screen, with one person using the TV screen and the other the Wii U Gamepad.
- The only other game to do this is the PC version of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which supports asymmetrical multiplayer across multiple monitors.
- In the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game, the Year Two adventure worlds are accessed by walking on an Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate which will catapult players to the Shard. Likely due to hardware issues, in the Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, the Shard is loaded separately from Vorton, requiring players to enter a special gateway specifically for the Shard, in order to enter it.
- For unknown reasons, the Toy Pad included in the Xbox 360 and Xbox One Starter Packs only work on those systems, while the PS3, PS4 and Wii U Toy Pads are cross platform compatable.
- Toys "R" Us had an exclusive Starter Pack bundle for the Xbox One and PS4 that included Aquaman alongside Wildstyle, Gandalf and Batman.
- Target had a similar exclusive bundle that had Lloyd from Ninjago as the fourth character.
- This bundle is the only version of the Starter Pack that unlocks four adventure worlds from the start, as the Aquaman and the later Supergirl bundles both include DC characters, a universe already unlocked by Batman.
- A majority of the music used in the LEGO Movie adventure world is reused from The Lego Movie Videogame.
- The characters in the Lego Movie adventure world are animated slightly differently from the rest of the game, with choppier movements to more closely resemble the stop-motion animation style of the film.
- The Portal 2 Level Pack was the first time any Valve content had been available on Nintendo systems.
- Due to licensing issues with Fox, none of the Simpsons characters except the ones voiced by Dan Castellaneta have any speaking lines. Even then, they all use archival recordings.
- Chell and Bart are the only playble characters in the game with no voice lines.
- In an attempt to get rid of unsold stock, Walmart included the Wildstyle, Batman and Gandalf figures and accessories from the starter pack in a bundle with Blu-ray copies of the three previous Lego movies in 2019 as promotion for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.[7]
- Due to licensing issues, TT Games was unable to use any of the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Sega Genesis, with the only songs taken from the series coming from Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and both episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
- As a result, they had to make their own songs emulating the Genesis music in the Sonic Level Pack, despite having locations directly based on Zones from the series.
- Unlike the other LEGO games developed by TT Games and TT Fusion, Dimensions has no 100% completion reward.
- Gamer Kid, Lord Votech and X-PO are the only original characters in Dimensions that didn't come from any previously existing IPs.
- Additionally, as of September 2025, all three characters are currently still exclusive to Dimensions.
- Upon collecting twenty gold bricks, a bonus level with a golden gateway will unlock in Vorton titled Mystery Dimension. The level is a reference to and uses clips from the original Lego Dimensions reveal trailer, featuring X-PO's voice actor Joel McHale.
- This is the only time any Lego video game has included live action humans, as The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2 Videogames both removed the live action moments from the
- When used on the Toy Pad, characters from expansion packs based on the original Ghostbusters unlock both the original and 2016 Ghostbusters adventure worlds and vice versa, despite being different continuities.
- Interestingly, this doesn't apply to other simillar situations such as The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie or Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts.
- Tardis pannels can be found hidden in certain levels allowing players to access secret areas using the Tardis. Four of these locatons are from franchises otherwise unrepersented in the game. These are
- The Flintstones
- The Jetsons
- The Arrowverse (specifically The Flash)
- Red Dwarf
- Using two Toy Tags of the same character will result in a unique line of dialogue for every character in the game commenting about how there's two of them.
- Originally, Dimensions had save points players had to interact with in order to save progress in the levels, similar to most Lego games from the time. However, a future update replaced this with auto-saves.
- Lego Dimensions was briefly teased in the post credits scene of Lego Jurassic World, with Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler discovering part of the gateway at their dig site.
- Jurassic World and Legends of Chima are the only franchises in the game that don't have any levels.
- Additionally, Jurassic World has no appearances in the main story mode at all and outside of it's adventure world, only appears briefly in The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack.
- Legends of Chima almost counts as having no story appearances as well, but Laval's Fire Lion appears in the Riddle-earth level.
- In 2020, the official Lego Dimensions Twitter/X account was reactivated and mysteriously started liking posts from fans asking for the game to come back. Ultimately, this didn't lead to anything and the account stopped all activity around March 2021.
- The Tumblr page is currentully the only Lego Dimensions social media still available.
- In early 2017, fifty-two gold bricks were removed in an update, lowering the count from 1068 to 1018. While the official reason is unknown, fans have theorized that one or more planned adventure worlds being removed from the code as preparation for the discontinuation in October 2017 could have been a likely cause.
- Supposedly episode thirty-seven of the Inside LEGO podcast revealed the reason; however, the episode has since been taken down for unknown reasons.
- The Doctor is the only Year One character to have any new voice lines added in Year Two. A location based on the episode "The Tenth Planet" can be traveled to via a Tardis pannel in the Goonies Level Pack. While both the twelfth and second Doctors have lines in this area, the second Doctors line is completely unique and heard nowhere else although it is just an archival recording from the episode in question.
- While commonly believed to be an original creation for the game, Wildstyle did briefly use the scanner in one early scene of The Lego Movie while searching for the Piece of Resistance at the construction site.
- When eating the Scooby Snack item while playing as Gizmo, he will turn into a Gremlin, a reference to the Gremlins film where Mogwai turn into Gremlins if fed after midnight.
- This is the only time in the entire Gremlins franchise that Gizmo ever becomes a Gremlin.
