PodBrix 1984 set
It has been awhile since we have heard from PodBrix, purveyors of Apple-centric LEGO creations, and now we know why. They were hard at work in their secret labs creating the 1984 playset. Immortalizing the immortal 1984 commercial in LEGOs seems a worthy addition to the PodBrix line.
As usual this is a limited edition work, only 100 sets will be created and they will cost $198.99 (I would have gone with $198.40. Get it?). While that might seem like a steep price keep in mind that this set features a backlit movie screen (though you'll have to get your own batteries). This set goes on sale on August 2nd promptly at 9pm EST.

Wow. If I didn't have a wife and kids and/or was a Gen-Yer who drank bad imported beer or Zima, I'd snap this up in a second. Very cool and great idea. I love it.

It certainly is worth it.
Wouldn't you play with Lego for $3750 per minute that's $225,000 per hour.
The Woz figure, 300 of them for $25 each sold out in two minutes...

I am guessing that this 1984 edition will also sell out in less than two minutes probably less than a minute.
Some of them will be bought by speculators who then sell them for inflated figures on eBay.
However if

ifelix, spending $25 for legos in two minutes is a lot different than $200 for legos

Sorry am I missing something? Almost $200 for some figures, cardboard walls and two LEDS?
