Lego Dimensions getting Sonic stuff!

The Lego Dimensions model is basically genius - a base game with a module that lets you add different character over time. And the supersmart part is that each of these new packs costs money and your child is going to want all of them!

Now, a whole bunch of new packs are being launched, including one for all time favourite Sonic the Hedgehog. Check him out in action.

It's pretty strange to see Sonic in this kind of context, but Sega is obviously happy enough to use the license. Which is pretty fitting seeing as the character is 25 years old in 2016!

Naturally, there's also a Fantastic Beasts pack launching, which brings an entire six level story experience to the game, along with a Newt Scamander figure and a Niffler vehicle.

More new packs are here in time for Christmas, including E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Gremlins and Adventure Time. Something for everyone then, except your poor, poor wallets...
