LEGO Dimensions Scooby Doo Team Pack

Posted on April 5th, 2017 by
So the next in line to review in the batch of dollar store LEGO Dimensions sets is the Scooby Doo Team Pack. This is another franchise that I’m not a big fan of, but I still have respect for it. Scooby Doo has been popular since before I was born, and it continued its popularity when I was a kid, and even today! I watched it a lot as a kid, simply because kids will watch anything. I will say there is one cartoon Scooby Doo movie that I really do like, and that’s Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. Seriously, it’s awesome. I’m also glad I got to meet the original voice of Scooby Doo, before he passed away (Don Messick). He also did the voices for Scrappy Doo, Boo Boo, Muttley, Papa Smurf, and many more! Anyway, so even though I’m not as much of a fan, I was mildly curious about the LEGO Dimensions set, so I’m glad I got it! It’s available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack
Posted on April 3rd, 2017 by
So apparently a lot of the older LEGO Dimensions sets are being sold at dollar stores and other discount places now. I’ve even seen a few sets at my local Five and Below, but nothing I had to buy. However, an online friend of mine from California found some sets at his nearby dollar store, and he offered to send me one set that I wanted to try. But not only that, he surprised me by sending me a few more LEGO Dimensions sets in the mail as well! He didn’t want me to send him any money, all he asked was that I reviewed them here at GamerDad! That was REALLY nice of him to send me all these sets, so reviewing them is the least I can do. So all this week I’ll be reviewing the ones he sent me. Except for the Portal 2 set since I already talked about that one in a previous article. Anyway, the first set we’ll go over today is The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack.
LEGO Dimensions Knight Rider Fun Pack
Posted on March 24th, 2017 by
When I was a little kid, I mostly watched cartoons on TV. But there were some live action shows that caught my interest. One was The Dukes of Hazzard. Mainly because it had cars that jumped over ramps and stuff. I would get out my Pac-Man TV tray and play with my Dukes of Hazzard cars while the show was on (keep in mind I was like, five years old). I wish they could’ve made a Dukes of Hazzard LEGO Dimensions set, but I think I may know why they didn’t (but we won’t get into that here). Anyway, another show I liked as a kid was Knight Rider. I don’t remember as much about the human characters in the show. I know David Hasselhoff was in it, but I don’t know what he did (did he even have a job?). But the most important part of the show to Little Cary was that it had a TALKING CAR!!! Back then, all of us kids had Big Wheels and I remember when the Knight Rider Big Wheel came out and it has a brake mechanism that would make your Big Wheel spin out. I was so jealous of the kids who had that, but not too jealous since I was still pretty happy with my Pac-Man Big Wheel. Anyway, now you can relive the action of the TV show in LEGO form with the Knight Rider Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions. The game is available for nearly all current home game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions: The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack
Posted on March 17th, 2017 by
Recently, The LEGO Batman Movie came out in theaters, and it’s a blast! Not quite as good as the original LEGO Movie that it spun off from, but still a hoot and a half in its own right. Now you can relive the action and fun of that new flick with The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack for LEGO Dimensions. It’s available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Fun Pack (and Level Pack)
Posted on January 6th, 2017 by
Adventure Time is one of the most popular animated series on Cartoon Network, and there have been tons of games based on the franchise and I’ve reviewed most of them! In fact, in the 20 plus years I’ve been reviewing games, out of all the licensed games I’ve reviewed, I’ve probably played more Adventure Time games than anything. I don’t even really watch the show, I just know a lot about it from playing all the games! And now they’re getting the blocky treatment in LEGO Dimensions. Here are reviews of the Fun Pack and Level Pack from the series. LEGO Dimensions is available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.

With the popularity of the mobile game Pokémon Go, recently released Pokémon Sun and Moon on the 3DS, and a new series of the anime cartoon soon to be airing on Disney XD, Pokémon is bigger than ever. So if you have a young fan of the Pokémon cartoon around the house, you may want to check out this nice hardcover book!

Using their new abilities, Sonic and Co. must track down the source of the fissures (most likely Dr. Eggman), and save their world from strange weather anomalies in this 2-D platforming adventure based on the computer animated TV show.
LEGO Dimensions Mission Impossible Level Pack
Posted on November 16th, 2016 by
The first Mission Impossible movie came out way back in 1996. I remember watching it, and it was a decent action flick, but it didn’t compel me to watch any of the sequels. Plus, even though the TV show it was based on was a little before my time, I seem to remember it focusing more on teamwork between the agents, while the movie was just “Tom Cruise Does Everything.” But the movie was certainly popular enough to spawn sequels. And now, your mission, if you choose to build it, is to check out the Mission Impossible Level Pack for LEGO Dimensions. The game is available for nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions The A-Team Fun Pack
Posted on November 2nd, 2016 by
When I was a little kid, The A-Team was a very popular TV show. But I wasn’t really into it as I was more interested in shows like The Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider. One show had a cool orange car that jumped over ramps, and the other had a TALKING car! The A-Team just had a van with a red stripe. (yeah you know where my priorities were as a little boy) Plus, I feel ashamed to admit it, but as a little kid, I was kind of scared of Mr. T, who was the star of the show. But there’s no denying that The A-Team was super popular. Heck, even Mr. Bean slept on A-Team sheets in one of his comedy skits, and a few years ago they made a movie remake of The A-Team (I rented it once and feel asleep about an hour in, unfortunately). Mr. T was also popular in his own right, even getting his own Saturday morning cartoon and breakfast cereal back then (yes, really). And now you can relive the action of the TV show in LEGO form with The A-Team Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions. The game is available for nearly all current home game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
