Hey, you guuuys! The Goonies are now a part of the LEGO Dimensions video game! I'm going to have a lot of fun searching for the treasure of One-Eyed Willy and re-enacting scenes from one of my favorite childhood movies with my kids.  It's time to do the Truffle Shuffle!

LEGO Dimensions has a great video series called MEET THE HERO which has existing playable characters introduce new additions to the video game franchise.  LEGO Batman with some help from Sloth provides a wacky welcome to The Goonies. This amusing video gives us some insights into the fun you can have with the new level pack based upon the 1985 cult classic movie:

The Goonies Level Pack adds a complete level to the LEGO Dimensions game where players help Chunk and Sloth escape the Fratelli hideout to join the rest of the Goonies in searching for One Eyed Willy's treasure.  Reenact the infamous Truffle Shuffle playing as a digital LEGO version of Chunk or smash through walls with the super strength of Sloth who included with the Level Pack as a LEGO minifigure. LEGO Dimensions is including a lot of elements from the 1985 movie that has become a cult classic but also allows players to create all new adventures for the lovable misfits from the film to take part in.

Andy, Brand, Chunk, Data, Mikey, Mouth, Stef or Sloth?

THE GOONIES ARE COMING TO LEGO DIMENSIONS

Hey, you guuuys! The Goonies are coming to the LEGO Dimensions video game!  One of my favorite aspects of LEGO Dimensions is how it incorporates things that were popular from my youth which I can share now with my children as we play the game together.  The A Team, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Gremlins and Scooby Doo provide a nostalgic touch to this game for parents like me yet the game play is still appealing for today's generation of kids because of its LEGO theme, impressive graphic displays, and challenging puzzles and challenges which provide fun interactive adventures the whole family can enjoy together.

Now one of the favorite movies from my childhood is coming to LEGO Dimensions in The Goonies Level Pack which is being released on May 9, 2017.  Parents who grew up in the '80s are going to be exuberant and kids may be scratching their heads wondering why mom and dad are so excited about this new addition to the video game until they join in on the wacky adventure helping The Goonies search for One Eyed Willy's legendary treasure.  LEGO Dimensions is including a lot of elements from the 1985 movie that has become a cult classic but also allows players to create all new adventures for the lovable misfits from the film to take part in.
