Still looking for Christmas toys? Save big with these Lego Hidden Side deals
Augmented reality Lego for the digital age
If you're looking for a techie spin on your standard Christmas toys in 2019, you'll want to hear about these fantastic Lego Hidden Side deals. With various sets discounted across the US and the UK seeing an amazing price cut on the most expensive set (grab the Haunted High School kit for just £77.97), now's a great time to pick up your yearly stock of Lego.
The latest augmented reality sets were released earlier this year, and hold promise in 2019's Christmas toy market. The sets themselves can be built as usual, but the real difference comes when you download the Lego Hidden Side AR app. Once you've completed the set, the accompanying app provides games, stories, and interactive experiences displayed around your creation in augmented reality.
It's an intriguing prospect, and one no doubt many will be excited to get their hands on this Christmas. The integration of a virtual world with the physical experience of Lego's empire is something the company has been looking to achieve for a while, with Hidden Side bringing their bricks into the 21st century for the first time. This is going to be a Christmas toy to watch in 2019, and with these Lego Hidden Side deals you can get in on the AR action for less.
