Following on the heels on Activision's Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Nintendo's Amiibo figures, Lego and Warner Bros. today announced Lego Dimensions, a partnership that lets players deploy collectible Lego minifigures and pieces in an included video game through near-field communication (NFC) technology.
After purchasing a $100 starter pack, players assemble a Lego "gateway" (which looks like it came right out of Stargate) and place it on an included "Lego Toy pad." After that, you can insert special Lego "minifigures, vehicles, gadgets, and new levels" into the game by placing them on a special NFC base.
Those Lego items can be customized with existing Lego pieces in the real world, but it's unclear how much customization will be allowed in the game versions of these items. It's also unclear whether the NFC base will be used to store information and progress about the in-game characters, as is the case with many other games that use NFC figurine characters. Up to seven Dimensions items can be used in the game at once.
