LEGO Dimensions Wave 8

Warner Bros. have revealed the eighth wave of packs for LEGO Dimensions today, which features packs from The Goonies, Harry Potter, and LEGO City. From May 10th (in Australia) you’ll be able to purchase the Harry Potter Fun Pack, LEGO City Fun Pack and The Goonies Level Pack.

 

The Goonies Level Pack includes a full level that has a new take on the story of the film. Players can help Sloth and Chunk escape the Fratelli hideout and join the rest of the Goonies on their search for One Eyed Willy’s treasure. Players can use Sloth’s Super Strength to smash through walls or play as Chunk and use his infamous Truffle Shuffle. The rebuildable One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship (it’s called The Inferno, guys!) will sail on water and can also be built into the Fanged Fortune and the Inferno Cannon, while the rebuildable Skeleton Organ has Sonar Smash abilities and can also be built into the Skeleton Jukebox and Skele-Turkey with their own abilities.  Sloth provides access to a new The Goonies Battle Arena, and also the Adventure World where players can explore Mikey’s House, Inferno Cove and the Goon Docks. Completing this level will unlock the seven other Goonies, who’ll have their own sets of abilities. I, for one, am super excited to see which of Data’s gadgets will be available to use.

 

Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter films will also be getting her own Fun Pack, as was revealed last week. She can cast spells like Wingardium Leviosa and Lumos, and comes with a Buckbeak mount that can smash Silver LEGO bricks. Buckbeak can be rebuilt into the Giant Owl and the Fierce Falcon. She unlocks the same Adventure World as Harry and Voldemort, and interestingly the press release says she’ll “unlock the Harry Potter Battle Arena”. It doesn’t say “a new Harry Potter arena” or anything like that, it says “the”, singular, as if there’s only one. This is making me more convinced that she’ll unlock the same arena as Harry and Voldemort.

The LEGO City Fun Pack comes with a minifigure of Chase McCain from LEGO City Undercover – he’s a legend! Chase can become a Miner to break Silver LEGO bricks or a Fireman to use his Water Beam to put out fires. He comes equipped with his Detective Scanner and can change his disguises for more abilities. He unlocks the LEGO City Adventure World, which features areas like Blackwell’s moon base and the LEGO City Police Department, as well as a LEGO City Battle Arena. Chase’s bolt-firing Police Helicopter can be rebuilt into the Police Hovercraft and Police Plane, which each have their own sets of abilities.

Since I’ve already played through all the Harry Potter content in the game the Hermione pack doesn’t sound all that exciting, but given that The Goonies is one of my all-time favourite films and LEGO City Undercover is still the best LEGO game those two packs have me pumped. Once again, these packs release May 10th in Australia (and May 9th in the US). Check out some screenshots of these upcoming packs below.
