GeekSugar's 10 Favorite Lego-Themed Items
I don't think I could choose between mixed tapes and Legos as my childhood favorite, so I won't! Instead I'll show you some of my favorite Lego-themed items I've featured here on the site over the past few years as a tribute to the stackable blocks we all know and love. Check 'em out!
The Lego Kitchen That Rocks 20,000 Colorful Pieces
I guess if I can't have my dream Lego house, perhaps I can settle for a Lego kitchen instead? Created by Paris designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, the Munchausen LEGO kitchen was made with an IKEA kitchen island base, which was then entirely covered with Scandinavian Lego pieces. The entire project took about a week to finish and certainly gives a plain white kitchen a bold new look.
Irresistible Retro-Style Stackable Lego Sound Gear
I have to admit, Urban Outfitters is doing a great job featuring fun, geeky gadgets! The latest are two awesome Lego-themed products: the Lego Stereo CD Boombox ($58) and the Lego Stereo Alarm Clock ($38).
The alarm clock features radio or buzzer alarm, AM/FM radio, and volume and tuning wheels on top.
This Old House: UK Toy Master Builds House From Legos
You're all geeks, so I can confidently wager that you've spent a fair amount of time building miniature cities with Legos at some point in your lives. I know I did. Not only cities, but spaceships and boats, and forts, and .

Bling Out Those Lego Docks With New Metallic Options
Remember the Lego Block iPod Dock of last year? They were big, but they were only available in primary colors (not unlike their origins). If you loved them but thought, you know, I just need a little more bling in my block, then you're totally in luck.
Gold Lego Studs: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Legos have completely infiltrated our wearables, something I don't mind at all. Not that I'll be wearing a Lego-print dress or anything anytime soon, but I love seeing how many different ways the toy blocks can be worked into clothes or accessories.
Which is why I can't hate these Gold Lego Studs ($6) — especially since they look like regular-old studs from far away!
The Designer Lego Dress Takes Geekery, Bravery
Disclaimer: I did not find this Lego Dress on ThinkGeek. I found it on a regular (and quite posh) shopping website by designer JC De Castelbajac, and you know . .
Lego Business "Cards": They're Lego People!
I didn't think anything could snag the title of geekiest business card design from the awesome Google search card, but I have definitely found a challenger — these Legos below are actually "business cards" for employees!
Yes, the name of the employee is printed on the front of the Lego figure, and their other pertinent info is printed on the back.
They don't exactly fit in your wallet or Rolodex, but could you begrudge them that?
Hey, Lego My Purse!
Unlike some gadget gear that's utterly embarrassing to be seen in, this Lego Pouch ($14) fits well within the realm of acceptable geeky accessories.
On a sweet little purse (mighty useful when you don't want to take a whole bag), the building blocks manage to look cool and mod rather than like a kids' toy. I'd use mine to keep my camera or iPod safe in transit.
