Vidiyo Bandmates series 2 available by the box from JB Spielwaren
Posted by Huw,
It's been tricky obtaining a complete set of 43108 Bandmates Series 2 because they are available exclusively from LEGO.com and in brand stores where it's not usually possible to buy a complete unopened box.
Now, however, top German retailer JB Spielwaren also has them in stock and you can purchase an unopened box containing two complete sets of the figures for €120.
So if you're in the market for them still, place your order before the limited stock is depleted.

JB Spielwaren won't pre-process the tax for UK shipping (and thus not deduct local tax from the price either), so it could be a long and expensive process importing them. Otherwise I'd have had a loop of metal R72 train tracks by now...
I’m not super interested in the theme but I’m glad they didn’t outright cancel them. It’s always a shame when that much design just goes to waist
They ship to the USA but not Canada... Damn it!
Hoping to see these hit stateside even if for a limited time. I'm only after three of them...don't need/want a case. :( @BrickHelix I agree...very glad to see these come out even if it's limited availability. It's a shame to see hard work die on the vine.
Never paid much attention to the Vidiyo line, but having a closer look at these it's extremely obvious that at least part of the design team must have indulged in a substantial amount of drug use. I wonder how that works, like do they dole out tabs of official TLG acid, or is it tolerated if you bring your own?

Not drugs, but trying to follow popular trends. LEGO was combining things that the general public and media seem to like. Primarily Tik Tok, The Masked Singer, and 'that' fandom online. LEGO clearly failed with this theme, but it was an experimental one. I think the best summarization of the Vidiyo can be summed up by the Llama at LEGO Con this year. LEGO tried to make it something big and trendy, only to end up as cringey and shortly cancelled afterwards.
Was fortunate enough to be able to get a full set from Lego by ordering 20.
It’s a shame these aren’t more widely available - arguably the unique minifigures are the best thing to come out of the Vidiyo line.
Thank you for the heads up Huw.
For those who are fortunate to get a sealed carton, would you be so kind to note and post the order of the minifigs (from front to back) in the carton? I wonder if there is a particular placement order, just as they did with series 1.
Sharing is caring. Thank you.

I hope you didn't eat the figures... ;-)
