LEGO Accessories: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:47:48 -0800

I was cruising Karmaloop yesterday when I came across these cool Lego belt buckles and pins which are made from real Legos. The brown and cream Damier and green and orange Gucci belt buckles both come in at $75 each, while the Pac-Man brooch and Bow Tie will set you back $100 and $125 respectively. Although I dig the retro feel that takes me back to my Lego-obsessed days, I'm not sure if they're worth shelling out that much dough to own. I'm sure some crafty geek could DIY these suckers. What do you think?

I Lego N.Y. Book is Adorable

GeekSugar — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 07:30:40 -0800

A copy of I Lego N.Y. ended up on my desk today, and I love it. It's a funny look at NYC through simple Lego designs like "Statue of Liberty" and "Man on Subway Platform, Seeing a Critter on the Tracks." The book was conceived and designed by children's author Christoph Niemann and was inspired by his sons' toys after he had left the city. The book is comprised of photos posted on the New York Times website along with new creations. Handwritten explanations and arrows designate each object.

The book, which retails for $15, is a great gift for any geeky New Yorker (or geeky New York-lover, for that matter). I love the simplicity of the designs and the witty the way they're presented. My favorite? The page of "$200 Parking Ticket Under Windshield Wiper," featuring an orange Lego under long, thin gray Lego resembling a wiper blade. As anyone who's driven in NYC will tell you - spotting the dreaded orange parking ticket on your car from afar is more anxiety-producing than parking in the city.
