Lego Vidiyo reveals the first sets and figures
Lego have revealed the sets that are coming on March 1st, for the Vidiyo collection, which allows kids to combine Lego with music to make their own music videos.
Each of the main sets, some of which are shown below are priced at $25.99, which gives you the following in each.
In each BeatBox, owners will find a minifigure representing a specific music genre, a scanning-stage, two special BeatBits and 14 random BeatBits. BeatBoxes can transport up to 16 BeatBits and have a building plate that can be customised with an awesome selection of LEGO tiles to suit the style of its owner.
“Play and music are both universally appealing and have a fundamental impact on the development of children. With LEGO VIDIYO we can now provide a kid-safe space for children to express their playful creativity through music video making to develop these new skills” said William Thorogood, VP and Executive Producer of LEGO VIDIYO, the LEGO Group. “The partnership with UMG brings with it innovation on so many levels, from an exciting new music centred product and app experience to ground-breaking ways of engaging fans with the signing of L.L.A.M.A. LEGO VIDIYO has been tested with over 1,500 families across North America, Europe and Asia and the response we have seen has been incredible, with children and parents all excited to be able to bring LEGO minifigures to life in their very own unique, creative Music Videos. Now that LEGO VIDIYO is out in the wild, I’m so excited to see what the young creators of today have in store!”
As each BeatBox has its own theme, these are the ones you can get, so you don’t get the wrong style of music for your kids.
