Listen up world, there are to be no more LEGO knock-off gadgets. The children's toy makers have released an official LEGO electronic product collection.
Ranging from digital cameras to boomboxes, the building brick brand is now out to cash in on the electronics-for-kids market. Now little Billy can build his fort while photoshopping his recently-added Facebook pics and listening to the new Lil' Wayne: Ahh, to be young again.
Implications - If you really want to get creative with these LEGO electronics though, you should totally buy a bunch of them and build massive multimedia tech centers with them. Just imagine, you'd have so many screens at your disposal you would look like Batman in front of his infamous Bat computer.
