This working $135 Lego telephone is pretty bad-azz.
(via Red Ferret Journal)
Update: Kim Sullivan sez, "I bought one when
they were new ca. 1990-91, and it stopped working almost immediately.
Some loose connection in the handset failed to transmit a voice signal.
The kicker? Yeah, it's Lego, but it's epoxied. You cannot take this
phone apart to fix it without destroying it. I have no reason to
believe that's not still the case — and it's too lightweight to make
even a good doorstop."
Update 2: Michael sez, "It's made from Tyco Bricks, not LEGO"
