LEGO Fusion toys that combine brick-building fun and iOS gaming are now available
First announced earlier this summer, the LEGO Fusion toys that blend the timeless bricks with iOS gaming are now available to purchase.
Even though there are number of LEGO-themed games available on the App Store, the Fusion system is different. Designed for kids 7 and up, there are three main parts – the LEGO bricks, a Fusion capture plate, and an iOS app.
The plate design allows the iOS device’s camera to identify the size and color of bricks built in 2-D. The design is then imported into the app in 3-D. After that, kids are challenged with building new brick solutions to help keep moving the game forward.
The pictured Town Master, along with the Battle Towers and Create & Race packs can be purchased now directly from LEGO’s site for $34.99 each. The fourth set, Resort Designer, is still listed as “coming soon.”
Battle Towers and Town Master can also be purchased from the Toys “R” Us site.
If you’d like a free trial of the full experience before buying a set, you can download the Battle Towers, Create & Race, and Town Master apps now for free in the App Store. All three are universal and designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini.
