I have a 7 year old who watches a youtuber and has been wanting Lego dimensions for a while now. I go to buy it and behold there is a pad and little Lego figs as well. I assumed this was optional and buy the physical game disc only (I have an Xbox One series X). Now I'm second guessing after reading that the pad might be a prerequisite for game play.
I searched this sub but could not find a beginners guide. Looking for someone to please break this down for me. What's up with the Pad, toy packs? Do you place the figs on the pad and then play as them in the game? Would I be better off buying the full on starter pack off eBay instead? Would he have just as much fun playing without t
