Lego Club DVD

[CorneliusMurdock]

The current Lego Club Magazine came with a free DVD. It's entitled "Lego Club DVD". (Not tremendously awe-inspring but fitting.) I fully expected just a couple of shorts from the website but I popped it in the DVD player and started to watch it with my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of content. I know it's probably all stuff you can watch for free on the club website but you don't have to wait for downloads and it's larger on the TV screen than it would be on my computer. Plus it was free.

It has seven sections (and here are my thoughts on them):

1. Hero Factory (Haven't watched this one yet. Not terribly interested.)

2. Lego City (Some police themed shorts. Funny, I like the police officer who never puts down his coffee mug.)

3. Cars 2 (My daughter picked this one first. It has the lego-fied trailer for the movie, a short brickflick, and a goofy series of videos that provide an inside tour of the design of Lego McQueen and Mater. It's fun.)

4. Nijago (Wasn't interested in this either, really. I may actually get around to it eventually once my daughter tires of some of the other content.)

5. Heroica Adventures (Basically the full comic that came with each game, slightly animated and put all together. Didn't hold my daughter's attention (she's 3) but I liked it. Might've been better if they'd actually voiced it instead of making you read all the speech bubbles.)

6. Lego Club TV (Some Max shorts and other various "Club" labelled content)

7. Best of Lego Shorts (A bunch of things that didn't fit in the other categories. My daughter's favorites of these was the brickflick of Spongebob singing "Don't be a jerk, It's Christmas" (much to my wife's chagrin) and a couple of Alien Conquest shorts. Also included was an in-depth tour of Legoland Florida. Pretty neat and makes me hope to take the kids some day.)

I didn't think it was bad at all. Especially for free.
