Over the last few days, a few images have been released by Lego, showing multiple mini figures (such as WyldStyle, Gandalf and Batman) in front of a blue portal with the hashtag #BreakTheRules. We had no idea what this meant…until now.
Earlier today, an official announcement regarding this has been released, saying that these images were regarding a new game to be released on September 27th : LEGO Dimensions!
[This is the starter set, containing the portal along with the above-mentioned figures. I hope they’re not glued to those stands!]
The game will be similar to that of popular titles such as Skylanders, where minifigures are placed on to some sort of interactive plate, causing a virtual version of said minifigure to appear in-game. The starter pack will feature a buildable portal along with a Batmobile mini build, Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf figures. Additional packs containing Ninjago, Back To The Future, Lord Of The Rings and The Wizard Of Oz characters will be sold separately.
Fun Packs will include a figure and a vehicle, a Team Pack contains 2 figures and their vehicles and a Level Pack contains a figure, a vehicle and an additional level.
You can pre order all of them over on Amazon, right here.
What do you think of these new sets? I for one think the idea is great, but not at those prices! since these games are gonna be aimed at TFOLS and kids, I can tell you no one will want to spend that much!

There’s exciting news for LEGO and Minecraft enthusiasts alike! Eurobricks forum member TomKraut has shared a link to the latest German LEGO Catalog, showcasing some intriguing updates for the second half of the year. Among the highlights are the much-anticipated LEGO Minecraft Steve and Creeper minifigures. While we’ve seen previews of various sets before, this catalog offers a closer look at these iconic characters. Let’s dive into the details and see what makes these minifigures a must-have for any collection.
Introduction to LEGO Minecraft Steve and Creeper Minifigures
The LEGO Minecraft theme has always been a favorite among fans, blending the creativity of LEGO building with the adventurous world of Minecraft.

Although specific sets are not pictured, we get a glimpse of the final renditions of Steve and Creeper.
Features of the LEGO Minecraft Steve and Creeper Minifigures
Steve, the central character in Minecraft, is now available as a LEGO minifigure. This rendition is true to his in-game appearance, featuring a blocky head that perfectly captures the pixelated aesthetic of Minecraft. He also carries a new pickaxe, adding to the authenticity and allowing fans to recreate mining adventures from the game.
The Creeper, one of Minecraft’s most iconic and feared mobs, has been brilliantly brought to life in LEGO form. Unlike traditional minifigures, the Creeper is brick-built, which adds to its unique charm. This design approach also aligns with the construction style of many mobs in the LEGO Minecraft series, providing a consistent and immersive building experience.
Release Timeline and Availability of These LEGO Minecraft Steve and Creeper Minifigures
The minifigure scale sets are scheduled for release around October this year. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official images and further details, which are expected to be released soon now that the catalog is available. This new wave of sets promises to offer even more exciting building opportunities and adventures for LEGO and Minecraft enthusiasts.

What to Expect from the New LEGO Minecraft Sets

The combination of familiar characters like these LEGO Minecraft Steve and Creeper minifigures with innovative LEGO designs creates a unique play experience. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the LEGO Minecraft world, these sets are sure to provide hours of creative fun.
