LEGO43109 VIDIYO Metal Dragon BeatBox Music Video Maker Musical Toy for Kids, Augmented Reality Set with App

There is not much to the build of these VIDIYO figures, you will get much more out of these if using in combination with the VIDIYO app which is supported on Apple/android devices, my daughter has hers on her iPod. She loves to collect the figures and ‘scan’ them in to the app to create music videos with them.Each character will add different beat bits which allows different actions in the videos e.g turn them in to dancing chickens, throw tomatoes etc. They also add their costumes, which you can use across your scanned characters to dress up your band members.Downside to the app, you CANT download your videos! You can only watch them through the app. My daughter made a video dancing with her nanny, and the Lego characters which was great fun but could not save the video! I ended up using the camera on my iPhone to record the video while it played on her iPod.If you are a lego collector these are still great little figures without using the app, my daughter loves playing with these on the bigger play sets and with all different lego series.These are always on sale for £8-10, which is good value. I would never pay the full £20 RRP, they do not do enough for this amount! Well over priced considering you can get the blind box band members in Tesco usually on sale for £2 instead of £4 which means you are paying the extra just for its little storage box.

First of all I have not downloaded the Vidiyo App and I am actually not likely to. I know that is what they are designed for but I will admit I got these more for the Minifigures than for any interest in making music videos through the App. This does make the set seem expensive, however, if you are going to be using the Vidiyo App then you have to factor in the actual licensing costs to Universal and their Artists that make the App possible by uploading their back catalogue on there.Beyond that the set is actually pretty fun.The box itself is simple to build and even comes with a little storage box for those additional beatbit tiles. The lid for this storage compartment is decoratable and each instruction leaflet gives you three options for a design. Alternatively you could make your own from the pieces included (you do get a few spares) or raid your stash and do something truely unique. The box clips together firmly and the handle feels strongly attached. You could deifnitely use the box to transport your beatbits and minifigure around with no problems.The minifigure itself is nicely detailed and has a front, side and back print to the torso. The accessories reflect the figure's Vidiyo role and you can easily store the figure with accessories in place in the Beat Box. The included hard plastic wings do cover up the torso back print but really elevate this figure.The 16 included beatbit tiles are well printed and come in a variety of colours so you can change them out based on the image on the front or their colour. Alternatively you can use them for what they are meant for - special actions within the App. Personally I think they will be a great resource for MOcs, particularly wall art or for using as book covers or vinyl album covers.Number Of Pieces: 86Approximate Price Per Piece: £0.21Build Time: 10 Minutes

LEGO versucht sich wieder in der virtuellen Welt, diesmal in Zusammenarbeit mit Universal als Musikvertrieb. Diese Zusammenarbeit kostet den Kunden schon ein wenig Nerv und Geld.Aber was bekommt man dafür? Zum einen eine kleine, zugegebener Maßen tolle Minifigur, samt Zubehör und 16 Plattencovern (bedruckt), das ganze mit einer „Beatbox“ die Zusammengebaut werden will, mit Schicker Glasfront und Platz für Figur und Plattencovern.Das ganze bestehend aus 86 Teilen in einer Pappbox. Aufbau mit einem gefalteten 2seitien Klappposter, schnell und einfach binnen Minuten. Das ganze ist etwas mehr als nur eine Sammelserie, bietet es die Möglichkeit, via App Musikvideos zu machen. Eigentlich eine ganz Nette Idee und finden im Zeitalter von Tiktok und Co bestimmt genug Interessenten. Aber auch wenn die App Gratis ist, benötigt die Zielgruppe doch Smartphone den damit einhergehenden Vertrag und die zugegebenermaßen teure Minifigur mit wenig Spielcharakter. Der Aufschrei ist groß, aber vielleicht kehrt dieses ähnlich wie bei Dimensions irgendwann in eine Ware Sammelleidenschaft um, denn wenn man viel über etwas Redet, egal ob positiv oder negativ, es ist im Gespräch.Die Figuren an sich betrachtet, ohne Nutzung der App, volle 5 Sterne als Stand Alone Minifiguren Box. Die Nutzung von App und der Preis, lassen mich einen Stern abziehen.

In this set you get a very cool Dragon Minifigure, a Case to put him in, A little build for the back of case, some 2x2 tiles and Not forgetting the best thing in this set the Brick Seperator... Ha Ha Ha!You can also make vidiyos of yourself and the Dragon with some effects if you have a device to use the app on.All in all a fun set, Playability depends on how good your imagination is & how many different dance moves ya know. And if your like me and happened to get this set on special for AU$10.00 (RRP: $25.00) then it's well worth the money.The tiles would be great for a display in your Record Store in your City (If you have one)
