A number of LEGO Chima and Ninjago Sets are on sale at Amazon UK. The price reductions vary, but below are a number of sets reduced by 20%-50%. This can mean some nice savings, particularly on more expensive sets.
If you or your little ones are particular fans of Chima or Ninjago, it might be worth your time checking out the range of clothing available for both Chima and Ninjago. If you've got an eye to the future, then the upcoming release of LEGO Dimensions offers gameplay and minatures for both sets - see here for more info on Dimensions and the related sets.
LEGO Dimensions is set to feature characters from fourteen different franchises, some LEGO, some not - including big franchises like Dr. Who, DC Comics, Portal and Ghostbusters. Notably absent, however, is Star Wars. Star Wars has been a popular part of the LEGO universe for many years now, spawning sets, games and films. However, no Star Wars content has been expected for LEGO Dimensions.
However, this new screenshot, featuring the still-menacing in LEGO evil of Doctor Who's Daleks, appears to show a mysterious, hunched, larged-eared figure that looks just like Yoda.
Nah, it's just Batman - see:
Sorry. Disney has been pretty emphatic that Star Wars won't be in LEGO Dimensions. This stems from the fact that Star Wars-owning Disney also own Disney Infinity, a rival to LEGO Dimensions, and letting Star Wars appear in a competing game would surely hurt sales. Still, LEGO Dimensions is sure to feature a lot of other big titles, and if sales are good, there's still hope that other franchises might be drawn in to the LEGOverse.
LEGO Dimensions is an upcoming game, due for release on September 27th in America and September 29th in Europe. It's due for release on Playstation 3 and 4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The plot of the game follows a variety of LEGO franchise characters who have to deal with the results of a masked villain breaking into their world. What's of particular interest for both game and traditional model fans is that LEGO Dimensions uses the "Toys to Life" format. This format, used in popular games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity requires the player to buy real toys, miniatures or other products, which can then be connected to their game to unlock new features - think DLC, but with figurines.
While this obviously makes for an expensive hobby (and a lucrative trade), it does have one huge benefit for LEGO fans: the range of miniatures coming to LEGO Dimensions.
LEGO Dimensions boasts fourteen different franchises that will be included in the game. These are: DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The Lego Movie, The Wizard of Oz, The Simpsons, Lego Ninjago, Doctor Who, Back to the Future, Portal 2, Ghostbusters, Midway Arcade, Scooby-Doo, Lego Chima and Jurassic World
Now, as any keen-eyed LEGO fan will note, a lot of those ranges are new to LEGO, or only feature a handful of figures. This means a lot of new LEGO sets for popular ranges, plus figures for new sets like Wizard of Oz, Portal and Doctor Who. Both Ghostbusters and Back to the Future are almost-new, given that they've only appeared in one set each as well.
There are still LEGO kits to be confirmed - and we haven't seen what's coming from Midway Arcade - so keep your eyes peeled, as more sets will probably appear before the release date.
Edit: info on the Midway Arcade set has been release:
