In a press release earlier today, The LEGO® Group announced Vidiyo Wave 2 is due in August 2021. You may recall that the inaugural kits came out in early March. Incidentally, the first wave consisted of Beatboxes and Bandmates. While those are still present in the second wave, the forthcoming wave also features a twist. Truer to the original LEGO® experience, Vidiyo is getting buildable stages. Of course, the new stages also scan into the app to create new backgrounds for videos. In all, expect 12 new Bandmates, two new Beatboxes, and five unique stages. Additionally, the second wave comes with new Beatbits. In total, the theme features 134 collectible Beatbits now. Read on for specifics about each new addition to Vidiyo wave 2 due this August.

Truthfully, I find myself on the fence about Vidiyo. The first wave did not appeal to me and I found myself wondering about this new direction. However, the appearance of brick-built sets in this second wave has me feeling better. Additionally, there are a number of new Minifigure parts and re-prints to get collectors excited. I have not tried Vidiyo yet, but I will take a look for curiosity’s sake in the near future. How do you feel about the new Vidiyo sets and characters? Feel free to comment below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,
