LEGO Announces Digital Camera, MP3 Player and Other Branded Electronics
Written on Jan 12, 2009 by Brian and filed under Digital Blue, News
Digital Blue and LEGO have announced a licencing agreement that will bring several LEGO branded kid’s tech products to market. The line is scheduled for release this summer and will include digital cameras, video cameras, MP3 players, walkie talkies and other electronics.
The entire line will have a brick-built look to it, though devices like the LEGO digital camera, won’t actually be built out of bricks, at least not bricks that come apart. Probably a good design decision given kids have a tendency to drop things like this. Parents wouldn’t be too jazzed about having to rebuild a camera each time it gets dropped.
In addition to the small portable LEGO kids tech devices, Digital Blue will be creating a home line of electronics like boom boxes and alarm clock radios that feature classic LEGO brick elements that are scaled to over-sized proportions.
The new LEGO product are scheduled for release this summer at price points of $19.99 to $59.99.

I ll buy the camera for my boy when it come on the market. So cute!!!!
I want one!
Dude I have GOT to see the MP3 player.
Yay! I’ll buy one for myself and my kids.
You know I’ll buy these… I still have, and use, two of the old Tyco/Lego phones from the early 80’s
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to build anything out of blocks; that would be silly…
Great! I also had something in my mind few years ago.
Even though the bricks don’t come apart, these devices offer a nice platforms for ultimate customization: It seems it should be possible to add normal Lego bricks to these devices and build something bigger out of them.
I’ll buy one for myself and my husband!:) The best thing created by Lego.:)
Build your own Tri-Pod! Yay!
Fantastic!!
I’m gonna buy the digital camera for sure for myself!

Wow! This is something! I’d say this should be done and yet I didn’t quite expect to happen.
It looks like LEGO is opening up to more modern ages of it.
