Light Stax are LEGO compatible bricks that light up


Building things with LEGO bricks is fun, but if you want to shed new light on the fun, you should check out Light Stax. Light Stax are LEGO and Mega Blox compatible bricks that light up without wires.

Each Light Stax brick contains a LED and electrical contacts on the brick posts. Build your model on the USB powered Power Stax base which provides power to each brick to light it up.

Light Stax are available in sets that contain different quantities and colors of the translucent bricks that can be used to build a variety of models.

Prices for the sets range from $19.99 for a set of 12 Light Stax bricks up to $136.91 for the unlimited set which includes 102 bricks. You can find more information about Light Stax at www.lightstax.eu. Order from that site if you’re in Europe and check out Light Stax on Amazon if you’re here in the US.

Complete your LEGO collection with this 1 ft tall wooden LEGO figure


A few weeks ago I told you about a 4D anatomy model of a LEGO figure and today I have a 12 inch tall wooden LEGO figure for your LEGO fanatical fun.

This large LEGO man is made by Etsy artist Tom Stringham of MoreCowsThanPeople. The model is a very accurate replica of the iconic LEGO figure down to moving arms, feet, hands and even the head.

Tom makes these models in maple or cherry wood with a hand-rubbed finish to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.

If you’re a LEGO fan, you’re probably reaching for your credit card to buy one, but you might change your mind when you find out how much one of these models costs. $495. Still interested? Head over to the MoreCowsThanPeople Etsy site for more info and to order.

Stick LEGO to your walls with Brik removable wall tiles


It’s time to take your LEGO creations from the floor and table and put them up on a wall for all to see. Brik Wall Tiles are LEGO compatible peel and stick 10 x 10 inch baseplates.

The back of each flexible wall tile has a temporary adhesive that can be used multiple times to attach the tiles to smooth surfaces like walls, doors, refrigerators and more.

The wall tiles are available in white, blue, and black and are priced at $19.99 in packs of two or $59.99 for a package of 6 which includes additional bricks and a removal tool.

Visit https://www.brik.co/ for more info. I also found another company on Amazon which sells peel and stick LEGO compatible wall tiles in other colors and sizes. The ones on Amazon have construction grade adhesive though, so you won’t be able to remove them without damaging the wall.

If you ever wondered what’s inside a LEGO minifig, I have the answer!


No LEGO collection can be considered complete without a Brick Man anatomy model from 4D Master. If you don’t think that this is a must have gift for your favorite geek, then well, you’re on the wrong gadget website my friend 🙂

This Funny anatomy model has been designed by Jason Freeny and features a see-through “skin” that lets you see the iconic LEGO minifig’s skeleton and organs.

The 5.1 inch tall plastic model has 16 pieces and from what I can tell from other images that I’ve seen, the arms move. I’m not sure about the legs though.

There are other versions of the minifig anatomy model available from 4D Master, but I like the one shown here the best. You can see all of 4D master’s anatomy models at famemaster.com and you can order one for $22.99 from Amazon.

This one time at space camp… I built a Saturn V rocket out of LEGO


Oh LEGO, you know the way to a geek’s heart is through their love of rockets and space. Just take a nice long look at this ultra cool model of the NASA Apollo Saturn V rocketship. Designed by Felix Stiessen and Valérie Roche of the LEGO Ideas team, this model is a 1:110 scale replica of the rocket that was the first one to put humans on the moon and it also launched Skylab.

This LEGO model stands over 3 feet tall and features 1969 pieces which just happens to be the year that the Saturn V took the first humans to the moon.

Included with the model are 3 minifig astronauts and 3 stands that allow you to display the Saturn V in sections horizontally.

The model will be priced at $119.99 and will be available on June 1st, 2017. For more info go to the LEGO Ideas blog.
