The Lego Dimensions starter pack originally cost $100.
This price point, while seemingly high, included more than just a video game. It encompassed the Lego Dimensions Toy Pad, a portal where physical Lego figures could be placed and integrated into the game, along with three figures: Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle. This blend of physical Lego building with a video game experience was a key aspect of Lego Dimensions.
Essentially, you were buying a hybrid toy-video game experience, and the initial $100 price tag reflected that. Additional characters and levels were sold separately as "Level Packs," "Team Packs," and "Fun Packs," further contributing to the overall cost for consumers who wanted to expand their gameplay. These packs generally ranged from $15 to $30, depending on the contents.
Therefore, while the $100 starter pack was the initial investment, the overall cost of Lego Dimensions could quickly escalate depending on how many additional characters and levels a player wanted to acquire.
