My LEGO Vidiyo video: Thoughts, confusion, concern

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Another thing I failed to mention in this video is that the app has very poor performance even on a pretty high-end device, at least as of this writing (after a recent update). You can see my sample clips are stuttering, which is how they were recorded. Worse than that, though, there are a *TON* of loading screens, one after every action and multiple layers of confirmation. It's like much of the entire app is re-loading in the background every time you do a single thing.

[@SenseiBricks]

That would be so frustrating :(

[@amseladams]

I do not understand all the attempts to go digital. Lego is not good in apps they've proven that over and over again. They should concentrate on analog stuff, that's where they are good in. I mean, if Iwant the kids to play games on the mobile phone, for 20 bucks I can get them some decent stuff from the app store. But with all the distance learning these days I don't want them to spend even more time on screens for play. The whole idea of VIDIYO is a fail from my POV.

[@BlackHawkBricks]

I would only get this for the pieces

[@Wyattporter]

@@amseladams to be fair, the Bionicle apps were pretty cool. They need to lay off trying to integrate sets and apps, and, if they even want to make apps, they should focus on making fun games that stand independent of the sets (i.e. no AR, no scanning, etc.)

AR *can* be really nice. The PlayStation Vita had several QR code cards that not only set up the play area but allowed for physical interaction with the AR world.

But LEGO refuses to look at what other companies have done digitally and what has worked and what hasn't. It feels like they are attempting what others have failed at seven years ago. While ignoring the reasons for failing.

[@skyborne80]

I agree with JANG, Lego seriously missed the mark on this theme. Everything was just so poorly thought out, from the new blind boxes, to the cheat of using pictures of things to activate the app, to the privacy issues, to the insane price. The only thing that truly interests me is the new parts.

Nexo Knights, despite being a well-marketed theme, was a financial failure. I can see why LEGO isn't interested in releasing another castle theme and prefers to try sth different.

[@subraxas]

Back in the early '90s, when TLG had the historical Castle and Pirates themes, I said to my sister that they would for sure also make Wild West sets within a few years time, which they eventually did, partly because I saw that Playmobil already had their own Western-oriented theme back then. Later on, I argued with her that TLG would also soon introduce their Classical Antiquity theme (the ancient Greco-Roman world) where they would blend both historical and mythological elements of those eras, BUT it unfortunately never came to fruition and to this very day I still do not know why. I believe that it would have been a smash and also could have been fairly educational if TLG were adding booklets to the sets, akin to the ones in Ideas and Architecture, containing info about the given set's topic, such as description of a historical event, person (AKA historical figure), legend/myth, building, mythical creature/supernatural being, literary epic, Olympian God, and so on, and so forth.

[@ATG_reviews]

[@mikeblatzheim2797]

What Lego is doing with their products is increasingly reminiscent of the late 90s/early 2000s, but on steroids. And of course back then it lead to Lego going bankrupt, before recovering after focusing on their core products. It appears that Lego themselves have forgotten that.

[@Goddot]

they currently have the "advantage" of the whole giant licensed products geared towards adults, and a margin I imagine is really large, and well, when a model is 30% off it's the reseller and not TLG losing money, so financially they're doing well... But it can't last forever. Small shops have opened to alternatives, the stores that have Legos are doing poorly, and at some point you can't coast on nostalgia anymore.

[@brandonaskew2428]

I see what you mean, but I think it's different this time because they have a backstop in high-end adult sets that can allow them to try new things aimed at kids. With that said, this theme looks pretty lame for a number of reasons that most have commented on.

[@sadeness]

@@Goddot really dont know what you’re on about lego is doing fine and every store I have been to even the mom and pop stores are out of stock of many lego sets so I definitely don’t agree with that.Have actually gotten Lego alternatives before?I have they suck,not eve near the same quality as the the real thing

[@legobrickabrac]

Yep and all the while ignoring fans wanting castle to return. They think castle will not sell but other brands like Cogo, sluban, Enlighten, Cobi, all make castle sets and keep on making them so they must sell well. Lego is out of tutch.

[@iconicnzz6414]

Yeah I agree, Lego is getting dangerously close to repeating the mistakes of the past. But like Johann Karpp said, they aren't doing poorly financially, which could be a bad thing because without a good wake-up call like bankruptcy, Lego likely won't realize and remedy their mistakes.

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

Is lego really encouraging kids to spend even MORE time than they already do on a smartphone? Where's the creativity, the rebuildability, the tactile experience of lego? This is none of that and if they can't even get privacy right well this isn't gonna go down well for them

[@panfrei5932]

When I was 10 there was one of the first set / app things from lego, guess who's not interested in it because he didn't have a cell phone until he was 14 ... Stupid concept, in addition, many only get the old cell phone from their parents as the first phone on which the apps are not supported

[@memesarekeem]

Was Lego encouraging kids to spend more time staring at a TV screen by making video games? I don't like this idea either, but kids will be kids. Nothing WILL replace toys.

[@legobrickabrac]

For the last 2 decades Lego only makes a theme which is connected to what they think is or will be a successful Video Game, TV show, movie be it there own or one of there licences. Hence why we will never get a new castle theme as they think kids will not like a castle game or tv show. Meanwhile competitors to Lego such as Oxford, Enlighted, Cogo, Cobi all make and sell what is Basicly Lego castle plus you can buy 32 very good quality fake Lego knights for $12.00 on Aliexpres. I bet you will be able to buy good looking fake vidiyo figs there to in a cupple months.

My issue with this lineup is that the goal is strictly to become 'more hip' while not expanding at all on the strengths of their product. It seems like a straight cash-grab that misses the mark of what it's trying to accomplish. They don't realize that tiktok is just a trend, just like there's always a new trend every couple of years that everyone gets into, and they're banking too hard on it.

Sadly Lego dont make a theme without being attached to a game or tv show which they think is or will be popular be it there own or one of there licence themes.

[@MrStone-dp1ek]

I too had my doubt about this series. but I just had a three hour session with a friend and his 3,5 year old and it was pure fun. The kid loved every part of it. The selection of the Beatbits, the scanning of the BeatBox, the recording. the dancing and the watching. Well worth the 20 bugs for the box. And he did not just stare into the screen, he danced his heart out (and we grownups had to do that too :-)). I now think this is a great toy especially for groups of older kids. One can direct, two can dance and then they show their videos around and share the figures in school.

[@villelepoaho4105]

These app-related things never work, if that's their only selling point. The Hidden Side sets look cool even if you never use the app, and for that reason, it worked. But this....I don't see any future for this.

Could either be a podcast thing like the art lined, maybe videos or even information like a digital museum display. And in the case of inventions it would show how these things work and could be marketed as a stem teaching tool.

[@noobpoob3889]

Nexo knights also was scan-able from photos 😂

[@jackpijjin4088]

Blind bags feel like a glorified scam. Even with snake oil you got a bottle of liquor. I just hope this 'partnership' doesn't end up biting Lego in the butt.

[@mikaxms]

Cool theme, but could be way cheaper without the plastic boxes.

[@johnperiwinkle9912]

Thank you for this breakdown, I was honestly really confused as to what this was and I think I understand better now.

[@emperorsgrandads]

This whole theme is going to flop big time. Just a glorified and overpriced CMF series.

[@phanpny97]

looks back all the way to lego life of george set, " how many times do we have to teach you lesson old man?"

[@Brikkyy13]

Vidiyo is the type of product that writers of The Simpsons would come up with to mock for an episode. Bright eye catching colors, whacky characters, pop music, extortionate price, this is so obviously made by a corporate think-tank to be the “next big thing” for kids. I don’t want to watch it flop, but that’s what’s gonna happen. Printing on the parts is amazing though, such a shame about the price because I’m not paying that much for some 2x2 tiles.

[@imjustsomefilmguy]

I hope that shark head piece means we might get a riff tamson in the distant future.

VIDIYO > Total Recall

11:30 Jang you have a CYBERPUNK district in your city! it's a Cyberpunk figure!

[@bookobsessive]

I for one buy Legos for myself and my grand babies to get away from electronics. There is no way I’m buying anything in this line. I was ok with hidden side as those are actual builds and the kids like to play with it. We didn’t use the app.

[@atcancan]

I really liked the theme especially the Llama and that Blue Alien figures. $20 is ₺140 where I live (very expensive for me) so I don't think I'm gonna spend my money for this but I really want that Blue Alien Figüre one :)

[@LauraLowe]

Lego's getting experimental again.

[@BrickVonBarron]

@Jangbricks I agree with everything with 1 exception...I think that punk rock pirate is my favorite. I understand what your saying, but I love it.

[@ThatJaymsWisdom]

Oh. I think LEGO have removed the scannable images from the website. I was sure I saw them there yesterday but didn't think to scan them. Now I can't find them in the image gallery for each set.

[@koloth5139]

Honestly kind of hope this theme fails. But it probably won't because some people can't help but spend way to much on these CMF blind bag things. But if it does fail I hope Lego takes the lessons of this year to heart. Make more castle stuff like the blacksmith shop that sold out in a day and less niche stuff like Vidiyo. Or heck if you want the app integration at least do it like Hiddenside. I actually bought a few of those sets because they were pretty good despite the app nonsense and the gimmicky stuff.

[@MoonguKang]

All those 2x2s are gonna be great album covers for my lego city vinyl shop

[@jajos1001]

I think Galidor might soon have worth oponent XD

[@jkb2016]

20 / 5 bucks for random stuff; so if you have bad luck, you'll get the sam stuff over and over while other stuff not at all. Pricey. Obviously, you have to "convince" your friends(' parents) to buy stuff, too, so you can swap beat bits and minifigs. Of course!

[@timewarpdrive77]

Lego fans thinking about every other app based lego product: "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!"

[@timewarpdrive77]

Also, the color scheme looks like it belongs in "saved by the bell" or some other 90s shlock like that....

[@jorgegomezespinosa8192]

I don't like the alien, but I really want that Keytar piece (finally with the correct printing). I guess my favourites are the Genie Dancer, the Ice Cream Saxophonist and the Shark

[@lbricks7631]

5:42 I knew dabs wouldn't stay in 2016.

[@SportsCars_TE]

This looks like a cheap cash grab in these TikTok times. They could have used the figures and tiles and made a music festival type of set.

[@tannerhowe3088]

I wish we’d just get a theme that’s purely lego

[@GalvakzaMusic]

Yeah, no intellectual property, no app, no gimmicks. Just a nice new theme with an fresh setting and a handful of characters. Is that so much to ask? Something like Monster Fighters or Atlantis.

[@arghjayem]

Who knew Bellatrix Lestrange was into performing on stage!?!

[@lukemellinger339]

What does the selection of music look like in the app? Is it just the hits that you hear on the radio? Do they have any “edgy” bands or obscure ones?

[@RichieAppel]

The theme looks stupid, but the ice cream head character I like.

[@thealexgamez7948]

Love some of those minifigs! Really unique designs, I’ll probably try to buy these.

[@DZstudios.]

LEGO: Minifigure Dabs Me:😬😬😬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@Gingy_2006]

I like the minifigure but the dab is cringe

[@DZstudios.]

@@Gingy_2006 lol yes

[@ethencurtis7182]

I'm loving these blank table videos

[@WookieeRandy]

I'm honestly just in it for the minifigures, I agree and understand with everything you said Jang 👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼
