“2015” section to the Back to the Future hub

I spoke with a guy at the LEGO store, and he admitted he didn't really know, but he thought it was a good idea to put the character on the toy pad. So I opened up the level pack, and I noticed that in the box there was an instruction booklet, and the booklet only included instructions for the character. The booklet stated that the gadget and the vehicle had to be built in game.

I then placed the character on the center part of the game pad while I was in the hub area, and the character showed up. Then, when I jumped into the pad portal in the game, I had the option of continuing the story, or playing the level specific to the character. While in that level, I was able to build the gadget and the vehicle and assign them to their bases.

You know when you search for an answer to a problem you've been having and you can't find anything and it ends up being something stupid?

This is one of those times.

My ethernet cable was unplugged and when I plugged it in the game ended up needing an update which it prompted me for when I restarted the game.

The content was then unlocked.
