About Dimensions

One game, five starter packs

Every player began with a Starter Pack containing the game, the Toy Pad and a first batch of builds. The catalogue lists a version for each supported console: PS3 Starter Pack (71170-1), Playstation 4 Starter Pack (71171-1), Xbox One Starter Pack (71172-1), Xbox 360 Starter Pack (71173-1) and Wii U Starter Pack (71174-1). Every one of them has exactly 268 pieces, so the bricks were the same whichever console you owned. A separate entry, Starter Pack Parts (71200-1), has 267 pieces.

Expanding the multiverse

Beyond the starter pack, the game grew through expansions of different sizes. Fun Packs added a single character or vehicle, Team Packs and Level Packs brought more, and Story Packs added a whole film's worth of levels together with a new build for the Toy Pad. The two largest Story Packs in the catalogue are Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack (71253-1) with 261 pieces and Ghostbusters: Play The Complete Movie Story Pack (71242-1) with 259, both from 2016. The appeal was the crossover: Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle shared the starter pack, and later packs pulled in characters from many other franchises.

Buying packs today

Even the largest Dimensions sets stay below 270 pieces; the builds are figures, vehicles and gadgets rather than big display models. If you pick up packs second-hand, the parts list tells you what each should contain, and it is worth checking that the tagged base for each figure or vehicle is included, since that is what the Toy Pad reads.
