LEGO Minifigure Rock Band rocks it out!

There is a cute little LEGO minifigure set that came out recently that I thought to show you today. It is the #850486 LEGO Minifigure Rock Band set. The set is basically three of the Collectible Minifigures, but with different colors. Here is a picture of the new LEGO Minifigure Rock Band set:

Please note that even though these are the official LEGO pictures for the Rock Band, on the photo above the female singer is shown with the wrong hair-piece. The actual minifigures look like this:

As you can see there are pretty much the same as Punk Rocker from LEGO Minifigures Series 4, the Rapper from LEGO Minifigures Series 3, and the Rocker Girl from LEGO Minifigures Series 7, except for the colors.

I particularly like the Rapper’s spiky hair and the hair of the Rocker Girl in new colors. I found the previously released pink versions a bit shocking, but these are really nice. One thing I don’t like is the brick-built guitar in the set. I’m not sure why LEGO didn’t include the guitars they already made for the Punk Rocker and Rocker Girl before, but other than that, this is a nice little set to pick up for some unique minifigure parts.

The LEGO Minifigure Rock Band set is available at the Online LEGO Shop for $14.99. You can also check local LEGO retailers for availability. To buy online you can go here: BUY LEGO ROCK BAND

CUUSOO project: LEGO Music Architecture

Here is a wonderful LEGO CUUSOO project that is gaining momentum and worthy of your support: LEGO Music Architecture, featuring LEGO pianos and other classical keyboard-instruments by Hidaka.

The idea of this LEGO CUUSOO project is to create a set of LEGO minifigure size keyboard-instruments. Besides building-instructions for the LEGO pianos, the sets would also include information about the instruments’ history and making. Also the sets would feature minifigure versions of famous composers and details of their life.

Adding information about the musical instruments would make the LEGO Music Architecture sets not just appealing to LEGO fans, but also music fans. The concept is similar to the LEGO Architecture sets, where a nicely detailed booklet is included about the structure featured, as well as the architect who designed it. This makes the sets suitable as novelty gift items for people outside of the LEGO community. Check out this video:

And of course having unique minifigures in each of the LEGO Music Architecture set, would appeal to collectors, as well as LEGO fans. The currently included ideas for minifigure composers include: Bach, Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven. Who wouldn’t want to have those big-wigs in their minifigure collection? 🙄

Here are some other musical instruments that are currently included in the LEGO Music Architecture series: grand piano, upright piano, harpsichord and pipe-organ. I’m sure other interesting instruments can be added as well.

The LEGO Music Architecture project currently has close to 3,000 votes on LEGO CUUSOO. If you would like this project to be made into official LEGO sets, please vote for it – every vote is important. Remember that LEGO projects listed on CUUSOO need 10,000 votes before LEGO would consider making them into sets, so share it with your friends. If you would like this project to succeed please vote: GO HERE TO VOTE 

Also, if you go to the LEGO CUUSOO page, Hidaka has provided building instructions and parts lists for both the grand piano and the upright piano, in case you would like to build one yourself. Just scroll down about half-way through the page: PIANO INSTUCTIONS HERE 

What do you think of the LEGO Music Architecture sets? Do you think they would make great LEGO sets? What other musical instruments would you add to the line? And how about composers? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comment section below! 😉
