Fans appreciate the unique Banshee Singer minifigure and the printed tile, but criticize the set's limited building experience and the VIDIYO theme's overall lack of staying power.

📝 Our Take

The Banshee Singer is a quirky and unique entry into the LEGO VIDIYO lineup. This small set provides a single minifigure and a printed tile, offering a taste of the augmented reality experience that VIDIYO aimed to deliver.

This set is perfect for LEGO minifigure collectors and those interested in the VIDIYO theme. Its small size makes it an easy impulse buy or a way to sample the VIDIYO concept without a large investment.

Skip this if you are looking for a substantial building experience or complex models. Consider larger VIDIYO sets or other LEGO themes for a more involved build.
