Smash t-shirts’ logo is a brick and they have a set of logo earrings that are just a pair of single LEGO bricks. smashsite.com. Great for the ladies, or man-pirates. Also neat shirts (e.g. “don’t meth with iowa,” “drop dodge omni turbos not bombs,” “damn it feels good to be a gangster”). In case an older brother is wondering about a good x-mas present for his younger brother. Or LEGO. LEGO is always good.

Hello,
I´m the designer of LEGO-rings. I didn`t know, that the world is waiting for this product, so I made the web-site only in German.
To all fans: In a few hours, you can visit my site in a English version.
I thank you ,

Jörg Mathea (Chief Designer / Art Director)

It was partly a twist on the “Bald-headed, killer bear of Claire County” line from the Great Outdoors.

“Behold! The Lego rings ‘cast in metal’ by the bald-headed, killer transsexual of Germany!”

Though my German is influenced heavily by my extended family – which are mostly idiots from Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg and the surrounding cantons and departments in Switzerland and France, so sometimes I’ll get some French or more than a fair bit of Swiss German in there when I try to speak German. (^_^;)

^ trying to figure out what you wanted to say by reverse-translating gives me a headache… the only word that makes sense is “Behold” :-)

Since the site is Elisabeth Mathea’s, I would say she was a girl. Though if it turned out to be a tranny making lego rings… I would have to admit that would make the tale of the origins of the ring quite quirky, “Behold! Der Lego Ringe umgearbeitet durch das kahlköpfige, Transsexueller Bären des Mörders von Deutschland!”

Too bad I have trick joints and can’t wear rings – otherwise I would snap one up.

(And yes, I am sure I slipped up a bit on my German, it has been awhile since I tried to make a coherent sentence apart from the occasional blurb.)

With four of those rings on one hand, you could carry a mobile LEGO building platform around with you! And build all of your fingers together.

Hm, maybe the guy with the LEGO Boba Fett costume could use these for his gloves.

^ There’s actually a whole ton of LEGO-themed stuff on Etsy. My wife sends me links occasionally, but I keep forgetting to blog them…

Whoa! Expensive!

If anyone finds the 1×1 ring in a less-expensive version, please let us know.
