Yeah it does sound interesting. My daughter did some product testing for this a few months ago. She said you build lego sets. Put them on the portal and can play them in the game. She is 9 so did not get much info from her sadly.

Pricing will be key, Skylanders was a huge success but as we have all seen recently the shelves are full of figures that no one wants or can afford or both. Disney infinity flooded the shelves as well but the demand was not met. (Now the same with the inferior Mario Party versions of the Amiibo)
Hopefully the lego brand will be strong enough to not suffer the same fate as Skylanders and Infinity. Hopefully the gameplay will be good enough to bring people back and the models available will be strong enough on their own to also sell to those with no interest in the game.
Game itself should be good, especially if travellers tales are involved, I have enjoyed every lego game they have made (only not played Hobbit, as it only runs through the first two movies!)
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)

EB Orders are up
170 for the "game"
50 for Level pack
40 for Team pack
25 for Character "fun" Pack
For $170 I really hope it breaks the standard lego gameplay template.
Apparently you can build the portal, and because it's lego you can do whatever the flipping flop you want
I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures
The key parts to it's videogame interactivity seem to be the RFID minifig bases and the scanner plate of the portal. Everything else is lego flavored window dressing.
Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.
