Warner Bros. will have big news about LEGO Dimensions tomorrow. However, part of the fun has been let loose early, as Amazon Spain has leaked a bunch of upcoming packs.

The new Ghostbusters movie, Harry Potter, Adventure Time, The A-Team, and Mission Impossible are all coming to LEGO Dimensions. With Ghostbusters, it’s a Story Pack, with the box stating that you can “Play the complete movie.”

Other franchises like Sonic and Powerpuff Girls have been rumored for LEGO Dimensions. If they’re in, we should be hearing about them tomorrow.

Update (6/8): Aaaand all of the listings are gone again. We’ll be ceasing our coverage of this until E3 next week!

Update (6/6): Runbow 3DS is back up on Amazon. The Wii U version is still missing. Also, the Tumblestone Xbox One page has now removed the Wii U boxart, so the mystery there continues.

Original (6/3): A couple of notable listings went up for physical indie titles on Amazon yesterday. The retailer listed Runbow for Wii U and 3DS, and had a Wii U boxart up for Tumblestone (which was on an Xbox One listing page, strangely).

All of these have since been pulled from Amazon. With Runbow, 13AM Games said that we’ll be hearing more about the game at E3. One of the artists behind Tumblestone also indicated that the developer’s title is indeed getting a retail release. This might have been a case of some misinformation floating around (13AM Games indicated as such) as well as some early listings that weren’t supposed to go live just yet.
