‘Lego’ and Apple. Can it get much better than this?

All right, so astute observ­ers will note that it’s not really a Lego set, but a cus­tom set cre­ated by Pod­Brix, a cus­tom Lego ‘hack­ing’ company.

For me, this is a must-have set. I wasted spent many hours of my youth on my Dad’s Apple][e. Flight Sim­u­lator and Wizardry…I remem­ber them well.

This set seems to encom­pass everything cool about the release of the Apple ][. Check out the 2001 themed cal­en­dar on the wall

They’ve got an awe­some about/faq page that over­views the organ­iz­a­tion and company:

What is PodBrix?

Tomi Responds:
Pod­Brix sells mod­i­fied mini­figs inspired by the pop­u­lar ad cam­paign for port­able music play­ers. In the future we may branch out to other related minifigs.

How are the Pod­Brix mini­figs cre­ated?

Tomi Responds:
I start with a stand­ard LEGO® brand mini­fig and modify it by hand to cre­ate the desired appear­ance. Each one is slightly different.

Do you paint the fig­ures? How do you get the desired color of the mini­fig.

Tomi Responds:
All the fig­ures are injec­tion mol­ded plastic man­u­fac­tured in the proper color. Noth­ing is painted.

So, Wed­nes­day night at 10 7pm MDT, orders start. I guess I’ll be online at that time. Wish me luck
