LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Storybook Goes Into Production

LEGO wrote the book on building blocks and now building blocks are making the LEGO book. Things have come full circle. I mean brick. Check out these official product shots of the $70 ‘Once Upon A Brick’ pop-up LEGO storybook that will be released on November 1st.

The set started out life as a design seeking support on the LEGO Ideas website, and after jumping over all of the requisite hurdles, it can finally be a real life set. The production version is an 859-piece kit with enough bricks to build a storybook that contains either a Little Red Riding Hood or Jack and the Beanstalk themed pop-up scene inside. You can swap between the two. Pretty cool.

You can even build a scene of your own when you get tired of the two that are provided for you in the box. This LEGO set also includes a booklet with a short history of pop-up books, a condensed history of each fairy tale in the set, and information about its fan designers and LEGO designers.

It arrives just in time for Christmas so this one should be under many trees this year, or if you’re a LEGO collector yourself, you should definitely book your LEGO literature today.

A Toaster that Pops up a Sanitized, Charged Smartphone!

A phone sees a lot of use in a lot of varying environments, so it’s to be expected that during the course of the day they will pick unwanted and potentially harmful germs. While this is far from being an unknown fact, a lot of us simply do not find the time, or simply forget, to keep our phones clean!

Hello! is the answer to this problem, and it does so in a quirky and playful manner. Taking inspiration heavily from a toaster, this desk-top device sterilize the smartphone while simultaneously topping up its charge! When both processes are complete the phone will ‘pop-up’; this acts as a visual indicator to signify the end of the process, while also adding an element of fun into the product.

This all happens within a device that features a sci-fi-like aesthetic, with its transparent casing that gently glows as the sterilization process is carried out!

Designers: Jeong Hwan Sohn & JungHo Lee
