Pixel Gate looks at the potential appeal Lego Dimensions may hold for scalpers
''I’ve never been one for Lego, but the recent reveal of Lego Dimensions got my attention. Where Skylanders started, and Disney Infinite grew, and the Nintendo seemingly took over, the game-toy market is pretty insane. The combination of family friendly video games, fueled/complimented by toys is a money making machine. Much like Disney and Nintendo, Lego are a firmly established brand with the unique ability to appeal to all ages. The licenses Lego own, the fan base they have, the significances in pop culture they posses, Dimensions should be easy money.''
DualShockers Writes :It's not the best of times to be a MultiVersus fan. Following a 99% player base drop over the course of eight months, the game's online features will soon be shutting down to allow Player First Games to get a full release ready for 2024. It's not quite died in the way I thought it might, but it's certainly entering a period of stasis that I don't think it would undergo if there hadn't been such a mass exodus."
From the classic arcade game to their appearance in Lego Dimensions, The Simpsons has a storied history in gaming.
No Virtual Springfield? Though tbf it was more of an experience than a game, even though it did have some little gameplay in some parts. Fun for fans though.
Hit & Run was great, my only complaint would be that Homer didn't have enough missions, the game could've been a bit longer and bigger.
This! Virtual Springfield is hands down the best Simpsons game. Such love and a modern take on that (in VR) would really bring the 35 years of Simpson-mania together in one massive package. I would love this!
Homer didn't have enough missions? What do you mean? Homer and Bart were the only 2 characters that got 2 levels each.
I myself liked the DS version of the Simpsons game much more than the one on main consoles, it was a proper 2D platformer game, I recommend.
Hit & Run is in dire need of a sequel. They could do so much more with the upgraded tech.
15 years without a single Simpsons game now because it's in the hands of one of the worst companies, EA. A license in the hands of one of the worst companies and look what they have done to it. They have effectively killed it to make money off that crappy mobile game.
Im with you, I hate when companies effectively kill off a franchise like that. They could have done anything with the license and they did THAT?! 🤦🤷
My dream would be for Volition to use the Saints Row engine for a Simpsons open world game. Would be awesome!
Hit and Run was by far my favorite, even though I loved the Simpsons Arcade. I even had the full old school cabinet in my house at one point! A video store in my town went out of business the guy sold me the arcade unit for $50 😳 I couldn't say no! Good times.
I totally wish we could get a new Hit and Run sequel or similar open world GTA style Simpsons game. I loved exploring the iconic places in game. I'm so glad I live near Universal Orlando, the Simpsons themed parts of the town are amazingly detailed and fun to be around, even if the rides suck.
Take a look at the rise and fall of Toys-To-Life games and see the magic it brought into everyone's home with games like Skylanders.
It probably will. Scalpels thrive on stuff like this. Hopefully LEGO is smart and produces in more of a mass quantity to battle them though. Kind of like Infinity is doing.
I'm guessing it will too.
Lego Dimensions is probably gonna stay safe and sound. I imagine Lego's probably gonna flood the market with these sets. Hardly worth scalping if there's too much of them – not like amiibo that Nintendo makes sure to keep rare.
Disney Infinity and Skylanders are distributed in a lot of stores. They don't have the near continuous lack of supply issue that amiibo suffers. You can even go to walgreens and get them. I'm sure Lego Dimensions will be just as widespread so it doesn't have the same problem
Is Dimentions a continuation of Lego the movie? Honest question, as I've all but ignored the previous lego games.
