Working Lego phone

This working $135 Lego telephone is pretty bad-azz. Link (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"
