Sometimes, the concept of a LEGO creation is what gets my attention. That’s not to say that Teikjoon‘s “Headphones” isn’t cool on its own:
But here’s the description:
The increasing amounts of technology in cellular phones eventually led to the creation of the largest network on the planet. On July 28th, 2009 this network achieved self-awareness and named itself…SKYNET.
Overnight, all existing cell phones were rendered useless. In their place, strange, seemingly intelligent robots appeared. By interacting with these robots, one could place a call to anyone on the planet, without paying outrageous charges to telecommunication companies…. (More…)
Ha! This deserves a second creation from Teikjoon — a prisoner transport called “Cruiser”:
This should come as no surprise to anybody paying attention to all the magnet-related toy safety issues in the news over the last couple of years. Let me stress that LEGO has never, to my knowledge, recalled any of its toys that include magnets due to safety concerns. This appears to be a proactive change that anticipates future legislation in one or more of LEGO’s markets.
The train magnets will be re-designed as you can see on the pictures and we expect the new magnets in the boxes from August. LEGO Train sets packaged before August will still contain the existing magnets. The new LEGO train magnet element will be visually different from the existing train magnet element but due to that the magnet can rotate in the plastic cover and the clutch power will be as strong as at the old element the function will be identical and fully compatible with the existing train magnet elements.
