A few days ago, we got a first look at one of the minifigures for the upcoming LEGO Vidiyo theme and it looks like we won’t have to wait long for the official reveal. LEGO.com has put up a full splash page for it which says the theme will be revealed on January 26. If you didn’t know, LEGO Vidiyo is a music theme that will be coming in March and is part of LEGO’s partnership with Universal Music Group.
