I saw the thing today, in person at the LEGO Media Booth at E3. It is pretty
cool! The guy demo'ing it said that it came with over 300 pieces, and from
what I saw it looked like a city street that had been taken over by a minifig
movie-crew - and a T-rex element! The camera is a surprisingly good quality
Logitech Quickcam packaged in a formed-lego case (like an RCX brick, sorta,
but smaller and more colorful). The editing software that comes with it looked
(again surprisingly) very powerful and cool. You could grab still frames for
stop motion or do real video, and then drag and drop scenes frames around non-
linearly with the software. You can also make text and sound overlays, and
even put in fades and wipes etc between scenes!  Altogether I was very
impressed!
