Sep 17 2009Unlimited Possibilities: LEGO Baseplate Shirt
The LEGO Brick Construction Shirt from ThinkGeek is a $18 shirt with a LEGO baseplate fashioned to the chest. You can build whatever the hell you want on the front of that bitch. I'm gonna build a functional rocketship on mine!
Take your favorite construction blocks of choice (LEGO™, PixelBlocks, Mega Bloks, K'NEX Bricks™ are all compatible) then start building. You can write messages, incorporate minifigs, build 3-D structures with gears, add motors... the mind boggles. The only limit is your imagination and the amount of weight you can deal with on the front of your shirt.
I figure I'm good for a solid 40lbs of weight on the front of my chest. And not just cause I carried a baby raptor full-term, but I totally did. Sucker burst out of my chest like an alien and ate the cat! I swear, what a little rascal.

Nice, but the plate here is a bit small.... I can see an entire shirt made of lego-stamped material making the possibilities endless

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where Max we driving his bosses car back from getting it washed, ad his boss was on the phone yelling at him. Some jerk rear ended the car, and Max walked away abandoning the car and his job in the middle of the street.

I wonder if Flavor Flav had this shirt he would have someone build a functional Lego clock out of technic Lego to put on the shirt. Somebody should, anyway.

I wait until they come out this the lego briefs......or boxers, I like to switch it up.

Awesome, but I imagine it can get fairly heavy. Maybe you can break the Guiness record for most Legos attached to your body.

Seems a bit cumbersome for all but the most basic lego constructs...
