It looks like those Lego-branded Digital Blue devices we've been on the lookout for are starting to see the light of day. This prototype video camera was snapped at the toy fair in Nuremberg -- not too many details at this point, but we're sort of bummed that this one doesn't have the handmade look of the walkie talkie and digital camera we peeped earlier. At least it doesn't look like there are many parts for your child to swallow.
Update: We've got some new details, care of Kids Tech Review. The flip-out display has a 1.4-inch color LCD panel, there's five-way navigation on the back and a detachable remote control. No word on what format or resolution it records in, but blocky shooter is due out this summer / fall for $80.

Everything in that picture except the aperture area on the camera looks like something you'd see in an article about the 60s/70s
Yeah it's actually perfect for Grandpa
THIS thing'd never break...
Now our lego robot army rise and conquer the world! muahaha
ahem... Oh sorry that's cool.
Oh god, why?
I hope it's at least compatible with Lego Mindstorms. That would at least give it a purpose in this world.
Great. I hope it can be built onto a trainset, so we can shoot cool POV videos of the train running through our own Legoland.
Where's the 'buy' link?
The lens part looks like a gun.
You can probably take it apart and build a gun. That's what legos are all about.
You're right it totally looks like a 1911!
That would make an AWESOME robot head too.
I like it.
I think that my nieces would love that.
Hey, I was trying to use a joke account.. darn it... Consider the above comment from 'Uncle Paul'.
If you get the joke, good for you. If not, eh...
I wonder how this thing will compare to the old Fisher Price PXL-2000 of the past?
Ya know would would be wicked-cool, is if the camera has holes in the bottom to match with Lego blocks, so you can build your own Tripods and Camera mounts from Lego bricks. Almost makes me want to get back into Legos again!
Man.. I wish we had this in the eighties...
