Pack Overviews
Starter Pack
This comes with Lego Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf figures, a portal, disc and Batmobile vehicle.
Unlocks: Main game, Batman, Lord of the Rings and Lego Movie hubs , main hub with hub worlds for each franchise (requires character from franchise to enter).
Level Packs
Back to the Future – Contains: Marty McFly, Delorean and Hoverboard
Recounting the trilogy (very quickly). It’s a good story but beware of spoilers for those who have not seen the movies.
The Simpsons – Contains: Homer, Family car, TV set.
An interesting original story featuring Homer which ties into the main theme.
Portal 2 – Contains: Chell, Companion Cube, Sentry
Probably the best of the level packs in terms of gameplay. Just like an easier version of the Portal games with the original voice actors.
Doctor Who – Contains: 12th Doctor, Tardis and K9
The Doctor arrives on Earth in the future where the Daleks have taken over.
Ghostbusters – Contains: Dr Peter Venkman, Ecto 1 vehicle, Ghost Trap
Replay the original Ghostbusters movie as the Ghostbusters themselves. Great fun for fans of the series and a good end boss, too.
Midway Arcade – Contains: Gamer Kid, Spy Hunter Vehicle, Defender Arcade Machine
Gamer Kid finds odd goings on in an old Arcade: Cue plenty of classic gaming action both in original form and Lego versions.
Team Packs
These contain 2 figures and a mix of vehicles and items. DC Comics pack is definitely the star here, though.
Jurrassic World – Contains: Owen, AC Trooper, Gyrosphere vehicle
Scooby Doo – Contains: Scooby, Shaggy, Scooby Snack and Mystery Machine vehicle
Ninjago – Contains: Kai, Cole, Blade Bike Vehicle and Boulder Bomber
