Build your myth
mmm…. I’m assuming the bottom of the bricks are gonna be “FLAT”. how am i suppsed to build things?
good idea though.
Good point!
I guess you can only build a hangover with them :D
Maybe you could stack one tray on top of the other while it freezes, thus getting the holes on the bottom of the blocks.
Really fun idea! Maybe if there was a lid to go with the tray (possibly connected by a hinge?) the blocks could be made to fit together, but ice doesn’t have the same elasticity as plastic, so they probably won’t “snap” together.
At room temperature, there would definitely be some water on the ice. Building with them would involve stacking a few, then putting them (stacked) back into the freezer so they would freeze together. A little spray bottle or a brush for extra water might help. GREAT now I have to order some just to try…:)
they make LEGO fruit Snack now….they have the same stacking problem though, but are EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!
I’m confused, these already exist and the image is just taken from the Lego site — is that the point of this site? http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=EL502
the point of the site is to list ideas / concepts of new non-existing products…
…but [exceptionally] some existing products are worth to mention also.
*looking forward to see your ideas;)
why not a another flap that you put on top of the water and peel off when its frozen to complete the bottom holes. However, the square blocks seem more ideal for beverages.
I like the idea ……… the problem is that only can to construct structures in my frezzer or seeing melt them in my drinks.
this is so ridiculously cool. i want some!!
WOW!!!
That s really fantastic I want some.
very nice idea.
ummm, maybe it’s for cooling beverages with just a lego design, not for stacking or playing?….morons.
the bottom is flat, but you could resolve it putting other of those things on top of the other one, and repeating the same thing… but wouldn’t they freeze together?? (like stick together) xD :) =)
@joseptriani:
Have you completely lost your imagination (something that really doesn’t need to be neutered once someone passes out of “childhood”), or are you just really close-minded? With a comment like that, I’m surprised that you would bother with a website like this.
Anyhoo…
Failure due to technical problems. 1) no female connections 2)ice usually breaks when it comes out, most likely at the pegs in the way you have it.
Consider using a bubble instead of a peg for the connectors and use a cube of ice. This makes is stronger and affords you more connection possibilities. If you use the cube you can put the male/convex bubble shapes on some of the walls and female/concave bubbles shapes on some of the other walls.
Now you have blocks that can be put together in even more ways than leggs AND one flat side which might provide some asthetic purposes much in the way leggos do.
Rebecca: I’m not sure I get the female connection thing…but assuming I had some idea, this female TOTALLY connected with th product even if its older than mould!
Genious, love this one!
Really fun!
Freakin awesome!! I want one!!
very nice idea.
