LEGO Dimensions is officially coming to South Africa (finally)

That’s right, Lego’s minifig video game is finally (and officially) hitting SA shores on 26 August. Make sure your credit cards aren’t maxed out for this ever expanding series.

Confirmed in a press release from Ster Kinekor, the company will be distributing LEGO Dimensions in SA.

“Building on TT Games’ track record for exceptionally popular, engaging games, LEGO Dimensions expands our LEGO videogame franchise with a breakthrough, immersive interactive entertainment experience that will redefine the toys to life games category,” writes senior vice president of TT Games, Jeff Junge.

The game is an amalgamation of different properties, such as Back to the Future, Dr. Who, and the LEGO Movie. Players use special, physical minifigs to unlock and play through different worlds with different characters.

In order to the LEGO Dimensions, you’ll need to pick up the starter set, which includes the game, a LEGO Toy Pad, Lego Gateway; Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf figures, and the Batmobile.

The series release in September last year and will be making its way to South Africa after almost a year. Some of the expansion packs so far include Portal 2, The Simpsons, and Ghostbusters.

The base game will retail for R1499 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and R1299 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Funny packs will cost R249, which Team Packs and Level Packs will be sold for R399 and R449 respectively.
