Someone should send the guy an email, asking how many songs you can put on it (Flash or mini-HD?).

Sure beats the Shuffle for size.

I just don't see the appeal this would have had in 1991.

Actually, yes. This stuff really proves that the iPod is an icon.

What does it sound like? They should put some sound in it if it doesn't play any music.

Heh, nifty.



For those of you who want one, they're currently out of stock.
Sorry! We are currently out of stock
Our limited edition of 300 units sold more quickly than we expected. We will release a different limited edition PodBrix figure in the next two weeks.

On the other hand, can't beat the price

I ordered yesterday evening thru PayPal. Even though the email I received "Your PodBrix.com payment has been received for order #312", my order did seem to go thru.

see now that's just genious. 300x16.99 = 5097, which I gather is quite a bit more than the investment.

Speaking of nostalgic toys, dibs on Teddy Ruxpin iPod Edition.

anyone got it? I just email them for my order status.

Alright, they just replied my email.
If others are curious;

We did receive your order and your payment. On the PodBrix.com site and in the e-mail receipt you received, it stated that all orders would ship in 5-10 business days. Therefore your order will ship out tomorrow. I appreciate your patience. It takes some time to create each PodBrix minifig by hand.

When we ship your order you will receive a notification via e-mail. If for any reason you want to cancel your order before tomorrow, just e-mail me back and we will be happy to refund your payment immediately.

Now it'd be interesting to know how many of those 300 "mini-Steve's" SJ himself ordered.

If I worked at Apple, I would've ordered one. It's not too often that you can work at a place and have an action figure of your boss.

New PodBrix Product Will Be Released In 4 Days:
On Monday (March 21st) our next product will go on sale at 9:00pm EST. More details and photos will be disseminated the morning of the release day.

Here is what I can tell you now:
The new product will be an apparel item, not a minifig. It will incorporate the PodBrix design and function as an iPod shuffle accessory. It will be a limited run of 300 units. All will be hand signed and numbered as with our previous products.

For those of you hoping for another minifig related product... never fear. We are finishing up the next minifig item now and it will be launched about a week after the new apparel product.


Apparel, eh? Interesting.

The iPod's too large because it's an unmodified brick, and he has no earbuds, but he was also made from parts already in the closet.
