LEGO Dimensions was released to the world back in September 2015 and every Doctor Who fan has been eagerly looking forward to the official release of the Doctor Who levels and characters. It was finally unleashed on November 3rd and allows players to be the Doctor (Wonderful chap, all of them!) and run around time and space fighting bad guys. What else could a fan need?

Well, it turns out that the inclusion of the Doctor and friends in LEGO Dimensions is not limited purely to the Doctor Who levels. By adding this set to the others you may have purchased, there are certainly plenty to choose from, the Doctor and friends can be used to assist defeat levels and find one or two sneaky Easter eggs along the way.

Two classic cartoon inspired Easter Egg have been found in The Simpsons level of the game and only the Doctor can get us there. Aided by the Doctor and his trusty TARDIS, players are able to go back to Bedrock with The Flinstones and explore the famous family home and front yard.

You can also visit the Skypad Apartment of George Jetson from the space age cartoon series, The Jetsons. Both Hanna-Barbera cartoons have long lasting popularity and it is certainly a wonderful addition to the LEGO Dimensions universe.

The only real question I have is: why are these two cartoons not included in the Scooby-Doo pack? Scooby-Doo is another famous Hanna-Barbera cartoon and it would have certainly fit to include them in that pack. This is only a small issue and in no way lessens the enjoyment of the game. And it is certainly an apt inclusion in The Simpsons level as The Simpsons was influenced by The Flintstones.

The inclusion of these cartoon Easter Eggs is certainly very welcome. The only questions left to be asked as: What else could the Doctor help to find? How many little surprises are hidden in this wide ranging game? What other Easter eggs have you found?

What is certain is that with releases of LEGO dimensions merchandise scheduled until May 2016, there is sure to be plenty more hidden secrets.
