 Cute little MP3 playerNov 16, 2009
By ChiJD
First off, I have no idea why this product is listed at $70 here. It is sold most other places for around $40. Check Toys R Us or some other local toy place if the price here is still all out of wack.
Now for the product review. It is just as cute as it looks. It is a lot smaller than I was expecting (2 5/8in long, 5/8in deep), and it has the capability to stack LEGOs on top and underneath it, which is neat and nostalgic. I like fidgeting with the LEGOs while I listen to it on longer subway rides. The package even comes with 2 matching LEGOs to get you started, and a pair of cheap little white earbuds (which are just about as good as you would expect, no better or worse).
Now, let's get down to what the player can do. It has a very tiny little LCD screen, and a small nubbie type control button that you push to move around the menus with. It is intuitive to use but comes with easy instructions as well. It might be hard to use if you have really large clumsy fingers or have a tough time seeing small font. There are 3 menus, the music menu, the pictures, and the options. Music is sorted in terms of albums and artists, and is simple to navigate. As the music plays, it displays the album title and track title, along with cover art (if you put that on the player as well). As far as music goes, it plays music fine. It does add a delay to the beginning of songs, and it has a "fadeout" time when you pause a song. It plays about 1-2seconds longer than you would like and fades a bit. It doesn't bother me much though. What has begun to bother me is the fact that you can't look around the other menus and play a song. Any time you stray from the song playing menu, the song stops. Therefore, you can't line up the next song while the current one is playing.
In the photo menu, I can't figure out how to do anything but display the pictures. You can't set any of them as wallpaper or anything, all you can do is view them, and the screen is way too small and pixelated for it to be a useful feature. It seems like a slightly useless menu option. In the options menu, you can alter the brightness, the backlight, mess with the equalizer, change the language, and set a sleep timer. I was surprised because it doesn't have any sort of clock built into it. I liked being able to check the time on my old MP3 player. It doesn't have any program that you need to install for it, you just plug it in to the computer and load your music on. No need for any outside program or anything. It has an optional LEGO skin for your windows media player, but it is just an optional perk.
As far as battery life goes, I have not had it long but it seems to be playing strong. The package boasts 7-8hrs, and I will edit the review if I find any discrepancies. If what you are looking for is an attractive pocket-size little MP3 player, this should fit the bill.
Advantages:
Nostalgic and cute.
Stackable with LEGO bricks.
Small and portable.
No installation needed.
Simple to use with good instruction manual.
Disadvantages
Only 2gb
LCD screen is tiny and harder to see than most screens

Can't look through menus while songs are playing.

 Great first MP3 playerMay 25, 2011
By Camsmom
I purchased this MP3 player in pink for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas. She LOVES IT! All her girlfriends think it is so cool because it is LEGO and you can add on to it. I did have to email the company to get a driver so the player would play all songs, but that was no big deal. The customer service rep was very nice and helpful, great customer service. The player itself is very durable and pretty easy to use. The playing time is great and only needs charged every couple of weeks, depending on how much it is played of course. I have told all my friends about it and will be purchasing another in blue for my 4 year old son.

 Cheap product. Barely works.Dec 27, 2010
By bsharp
My son received the primary colored lego mp3 player for Christmas this year, and what a disappointment. It is beyond buggy; if he turns it off for any reason, it will not turn back on unless it is plugged into a usb. No, the hold switch is not on. It plain old does not work. Resetting the device doesn't make it any better, either. The company did get back to me quickly with advice ("make sure the hold switch is not on") and a firmware update, which included an 'all songs' option. However, the problem still is not resolved (um, can't get the player to turn on). It's cute, though.
Great for 7 year old.Dec 08, 2010
By David Bond
We got this for our daughter's 7th birthday three months ago and she loves it! She thought the pink Legos were awesome and built an "antenna" with some of her own from home. We did have to look for the instructions about volume control but it is simple to use. The ear buds that came with it were cheap and hurt her ears so you may want to consider others if purchasing for a child. So far so good!

 Stay AWAYJul 20, 2010
By Michelle
This is the silliest thing I have ever seen. A MP3 player with no volume control??? I sent it back. How dumb. It was barely audible though my head phones and not even audible through my daughters kid safe (nothing over 90 decibels) ones.
Besides not hearing anything the menu is hard to navigate.
I would never buy this or any product from this company unless they are regular legos again. They should stick to what they know.
