BrixPod Classic Goes On Sale This Thursday (10/27) at 9:00pm EST
The BrixPod Classic is a signed and numbered limited edition of 300 units. Each BrixPod is assembled by hand from 59 genuine LEGO® parts. The BrixPod Classic can be displayed alone but is intended for use with the iPod shuffle (not included). By inserting the shuffle into the top of the BrixPod you get the effect of a fully functional music player constructed from LEGO®. The shuffle is held securely and protected inside the BrixPod. By pushing on the screen area of the BrixPod the shuffle can be paused/played. An eject slider on the back of the BrixPod allows you to remove the shuffle easily.
Due to the time-consuming nature of assembling each BrixPod, sales will be split into two runs of 150 units each. The first 150 units will be available for sale on this Thursday (10/27) at 9:00PM EST for $49.99 each. The second group of 150 units will go on sale approximately three weeks later. Unit numbers will be distributed randomly between all orders so everyone will have an equal chance of receiving a low number unit. Please be aware that sales will be limited to no more than two units per order.

One of the gaming mags had published a "letter to the editor" written by the LEGO people about how the mag didn't properly use the trademark symbol, plural form of "LEGO", and all these other ridiculous statements about how the word is supposed to be used in their review of LEGO Star Wars. I wish I still had it.

No. The screen is static and printed on the unit.
It is a purely mechanical button-pressing interface. Probably you won't even need to uncover the Shuffle's USB cap.

Darn. I so thought this thread was going to be about a Tetris clone for the iPod.
What a waste of a mouse-click.

Don't need to, mang: http://www.lego.com/info/pdf/LEGO_co...profile_UK.pdf
LEGO must never be used as a generic
term or in the plural or as a possessive pro-
noun, e.g. “LEGO’s”.

It also says LEGO can't be on its own, so it's not made of LEGO, it's made of LEGO bricks.
