The upcoming new ‘Lego Dimensions’ #E3 trailer.

It’s the weirdest thing. My kids are LEGO fiends, but they don’t play this game at all:

They’ll play the other LEGO video games, but not LEGO Dimensions. The oldest prefers Disney Infinity and the youngest mostly just noodles along with one game or another and never advances on the story. Honestly, my wife is more likely to define our purchases of new Dimensions stuff at this point. Go figure, huh?

Oh, gee, thanks: LEGO Avengers is coming out tomorrow.

I figure that I got another three, four weeks of safety before my kids stop playing LEGO Make It Easy On Yourself And Just Give Us Your Credit Card Dimensions long enough to notice that there’s another LEGO video game out there to be bought. The worst part?  I want them playing these video games. Most of the time they’re perfectly harmless*.

Yes, I’m mostly ticked that I don’t have time to play these games myself. I accept that. I may someday even come to feel all right about it…

*Although having Doctor Who’s Weeping Angels show up in the middle of LEGO Dimensions proved to be a bit much for my younger kid.  And I can’t say that I blame him for that…
