Mini lego turntables – We want some

This article was of course just jolly japes, but now the mini lego turntables are available on eBay UK. They come in 1200 and 1210 varieties with what looks like a Rane mixer for the easily affordable present level price of £16 plus outage. But be quick- they’re not available for long! 

Just when you thought that all turntable development had dried up (those new Numark TTXs never showed up at NAMM did they rumour mongers?), I not only get word of an all new pair, but they actually turn up in the post.

Yes, the post. In a small cardboard box no less. For these are not your average turntables. They’re highly portable, very compact with spares available in most toy shops. Obviously, because these Lego decks are likely to look out of place next to a regular mixer, a fully featured 2 channel mixer has been included. The decks and mixer even have feet and the decks turn. Just brilliant.

As a former child Lego head, I’m almost tempted to rise to the challenge of making full sized versions of this that actually work. Perhaps we can start to make our own MIDI controllers out of Stickle Bricks or Meccano rather than be at the mercy of manufacturers. Or maybe I should get more sleep. ;)

Granted, it’s just a bit of fun, but I find myself more excited by these than most things that have arrived in recent times. The ear to ear grin that appeared was a testament of just how cool these are. And as you can see, I’ve finally got a set of decks for Gizmo. He’s pretty damned chuffed (you can tell by his smile), and the mini lego turntables will be taking pride of place in the Worxlab.

And soon, you can get a full set of your very own. This set is strictly prototype, but the finishing touches are being put to them and will be soon available on eBay (cases not included) on Sunday. As soon as I have the full detail, I’ll post it.
