I know most of you aren't playing LEGO Dimensions. I have the game in my house and have only played it once. So for most people, the exciting part of this release is getting a Sloth Goonies LEGO minifig. Now imagine if LEGO actually released a Goonies LEGO playset? I'd love to see something with working booty traps or even a recreation of One-Eyed Willie's ship.
WB has also released the latest trailer in the "Meet That Hero" series debuts today, and features Sonic the Hedgehog introducing Michael Knight (Knight Rider), who will make his way to LEGO Dimensions on February 10th 2017.
