at 120mm x 72mm x 13mm and 115g, the LEGO Power Brick Portable Battery from Taiwanese design studio CO!+ is not exactly the most portable-friendly. seriously, there are an ocean of options out there that are way more portable, but size ain’t an issue here. not a bit. because we want to play with out portable battery, like building an iPad or iPhone stand with the included slope bricks, or use whatever stash of leftover bricks we have amassed over the years to build a barn on top of the 13mm thick stud-filled plate. there’s no telling what we will do, but whatever it is, it is going to make the 4,200 mAh lithium polymer battery seems like a secondary feature. play first, charge later, or perhaps make stand out of it. it doesn’t matter, it will be fun and we are digging all the way.

toy gadgets that will allow you to engage in an office cubical warfare are not new but one that uses your iDevice as the launch control is something that makes us sit up and take notice. unlike the standard USB equipped foam missile launcher, the iLaunch Thunder connects to your iDevice wirelessly via Bluetooth and from your iDevice, you are able to maneuver the iLaunch through its 270deg of horizontal rotation, and more than 40deg of vertical movement. once you are ready to engage, just tap or shake your iDevice for the launch command that will send the foam dart up to 25-feet of range – a range that should be ample if you are working in an office without high cubicles. speaking of which, I hope they’d come out with a mortar system that will fire over high partitions or perhaps, incorporating a view cam for a more realistic aiming effect.
