Hi all,

I'm betting there's a fairly large overlap between LEGO-geeks and
game-playing-geeks. For that audience I present these "brick dice". Instead of
digits 1-6 on the faces, I have building block representations with one to six
"studs" showing. The "5" side was tricky since there is not a standard 1x5
brick, so I depicted a 1x2 plate with a 3-stud L-brick next to it (the other
digits are represented by a 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, and 2x3 brick). These come in a
set of 5 colored dice as shown.

Anyway, I thought folks here at LUGNET might appreciate these latest creations.

Cool. Though you know, there are 1x5 technic beams, or you could have shown the
tubes on the underside of a 2x6 brick/plate (grin). You say they, "come in a set
of 5", does that mean they are for sale?
