Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Van Hoy, who shares a link to this blog regarding the new Lego Retro Radio:
LEGO’s buildable Retro Radio actually plays music thanks to a sound brick
Thank you, Dan! I’m mighty tempted to put in an order for this radio!
Lego also has a page with more information here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/retro-radio-10334
It looks like it requires a smart phone inside the case to operate. So, is this really an Internet radio?
It’s a toy, not a radio. And a waste of money. Unless you have a kid who wants to build with LEGO’s.
Thank you for posting this Dan….
