I heard this on the radio this morning on the way into work (wfnx 101.7,
Boston):
Lego is teaming up with Stephen Speilberg to create a "Lego Movie Creator" that
will allow (ahem) "kids" to create movies. The camera will hook up to your
computer, and has Lego studs to facilitate building a stand for it out of Lego.
It will also come with enough Lego to build props (the announcers said
specifically "fire engines and houses").
Price? Around $180.
According to the announcers, Lego will be officially announcing this later
today.
The only other info they had was that Speilberg's profits were going to
charity.
