x105Black Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) So LEGO Dimensions is out, and we're on our way. In Wave 4 of the Dimensions releases, we will be getting the Midway Arcade Level Pack: If you've been paying attention to the news, you'll know that this pack introduces areas based on many classic Midway video games. Among them is Gauntlet: Gauntlet was a great Fantasy Hack-n-Slash Dungeon Crawler video game originally released in 1985. It has been redone many times over the years. The original characters were a Warrior, an Elf Archer, a Valkyrie, and a Wizard: The reason that I bring this up is that LEGO currently does not have a medieval fantasy line. Lord of the Rings is all but gone (aside from what I can only assume are the final appearances of the theme in Dimensions), Castle 2013 has retired, and the new year will bring in a cyber-castle theme called Nexo Knights (which is expected to last a few years). In the meantime, there is no traditional Castle theme. What I am hoping is that LEGO will use their Midway license to produce sets and minifigures based on the Gauntlet setting. The characters are wonderful. The setting is wonderful. LEGO already has a relationship with Midway. It seems like a no-brainer, considering the lack of any other real Castle themes for the moment. It's not that I'm a huge fan of Gauntlet itself (I am a casual fan of the series, and have been for many years), but I am a huge fan of LEGO Castle sets in a medieval fantasy theme. I'm just reading into things in hopes that new Castle-like themes will emerge. What do you think? Is it possible? Likely?

Sir Gareth Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Can't this just be part of the Dimensions Physical Discussion Thread? I apologize if this comment has in anyway offended anyone. Edited November 14, 2015 by Sir Gareth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I suppose it could. I didn't notice that thread was a catch-all. I knew that there was a Ghostbusters thread, and a Wizard of Oz thread, and thought this would be similar. If a Moderator sees fit, it could probably just be merged. Did you have an opinion about the actual topic of the thread? Edited November 14, 2015 by x105Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gareth Posted November 14, 2015 Did you have an opinion about the actual topic of the thread? It's just yet another easter egg, like the Jetsons and the Flintstones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted November 14, 2015 Fair enough. I know it's probably beyond wishful thinking to hope for them to turn Gauntlet into a Castle theme. I just want a Castle theme that badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KlodsBrik Posted November 14, 2015 I loved Gauntlet as a child, it was insanely expensive though. The level experience of the Dimensions intro if you will, is getting you back into the childhood ( for our age ) Sir Gareth, elf, valkyrie, warrior and wizard. It might as well belong in Historical, as well as your Doctor Who thread could be placed in Dimensions. Not that i want to discuss it, i wont. Gauntlett is a special thing, i loved it as a kid. And i cant wait to se what Arcade Midway will bring us the lucky ones who owns the Dimensions game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted November 14, 2015 I have spent hours playing gauntlet on a PS2 collection of old midway games. It's just lots of simple fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxtravis7992 Posted November 14, 2015 Never heard of Gauntlet before. Looks interesting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
