Follow these steps:

• Per the instruction sheet, the wing pack with missile figure must be properly locked into place first.  A click sound will indicate that it’s properly locked. 

• While cranking the dial clockwise, you will hear a slight clicking noise.  You will hear a LOUD click after several turns.

• For the best launch, crank the dial clockwise until you hear the second LOUD clicking noise.  This will be after at least 7 full revolutions, which equates to about 14 turns (2 turns per revolution).

• After cranking the dial, ensure that wing pack is still locked into place.

• For maximum distance, angle the toy so the missile figure is at a 30 degree angle.  Then press the button to launch.

Each experience pack comes with a Pass Card, which is for piracy protection and to unlock the full digital Virtual Reality experience.

A different block comes with each toy, on the bottom is a black and white marker. Open Unlock Rewards within the app, line this marker up and unlock your sounds, story starter and sticker.

The marker can be found under the block that comes with each figure. Each core Mattel Minecraft figure comes with the marker ready to be scanned.

Try to increase or decrease ambient lighting. Scanning may function better in different light, depending on the device used. Position the device at mid-range from the sticker, wait for the camera to focus, then slowly back away and/or move closer to optimize the zoom. Make sure your camera lens is clean.

We recommend that you clean your Mega Bloks® building blocks by hand with warm water or a damp cloth.  You can air-dry parts at room temperature or use a dry cloth.  Please do not put Mega Bloks® building blocks in washing machines or dishwashers or attempt to dry them in ovens, microwaves, or by using a hair dryer.

Although they are not needed to enjoy all of the virtual reality content within each Experience Pack app, the physical reels provide an extra layer of interactivity called Augmented Reality (AR). It’s important to remember that having the physical reels is the only way to enjoy the Augmented Reality content. When you place a reel on the table and look at it through your View-Master® VR viewer, Augmented Reality icons will appear above the reel. These 3D icons serve as a menu – by selecting an icon with a click of the viewer’s lever, you can launch different experiences. In addition, some Experience Pack apps feature a library of Augmented Reality models that you can explore, but only if you have the physical reels to trigger them.

Because of its text-based visuals, View-Master® VR is designed for kids 7 and up. We have worked with an ophthalmologist to ensure that View-Master® VR is optically safe for use by children. As with all screen time, we recommend parents follow pediatric guidelines to determine age appropriate viewing times.

Augmented Reality is an effect that overlays digital, 3D images on your physical environment. For instance, when looking through your View-Master® VR viewer at an experience reel sitting on your table – depending on the reel – you might see a 3D model of a spaceship or a dinosaur floating above it. As you move around the reel, you will be able to see other sides of the 3D model as if it was actually there.

Classic photo View-Master® viewers with reels are still available to consumers through our licensee, The Bridge Direct.
