Tetris lights

I have just ordered this seven-piece reconfigurable Tetris light set, which automatically turns on when all the pieces are stacked together. I bet it sucks; if it does, I'm going to go right ahead and make my own 6ft tall version out of plexiglass squares and LED lamps.

UPDATE: Amazon is sold out, but if you're in the EU, Firebox has them in stock!

7x4x1″ box weighing less than 8oz. Yes, it will suck. 6foot version : will rock.

“Warning Choking Hazard” buy it now before some dumb kid eats it and they pull it off the market.

One of those times it’s a shame you can’t make a 7×4 rectangle with them.

I would love to see a followup on this. I’d like to know if the item is any good, and if anyone goes ahead with a project to make a better one, I’d *love* a guide. As a beginning maker who’s about to buy a house with a dedicated gaming room, this is something I want to jump into right away.

  I’ll review it when it gets here.

    And blog the custom one if I am forced by circumstance to make it!

      A double post such as this… you couldn’t even make it to the edit button… I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so eager to have their hand forced.

As a legit tetris master, I have seen that these were coming out a few months ago and I must get them!

*Also, I think the small size is nice, although a large set as Rob said he may build would be cool if you have the space.

I ordered a set when these first became available. It took six weeks to arrive, and when I opened the box, there was only one light in it. I complained bitterly to Amazon, and another light arrived two weeks later. And another week later, a third light arrived. It took two-and-a-half months for the full set to arrive, but then Amazon screwed up and continued to send me lights, one at a time. Between UPS, USPS, and FDL, I’m still getting these damned Tetris lights I didn’t order, and the display has almost reached my ceiling. Emails and phone calls go unanswered. Oh, shit, there’s another delivery guy at the door . . . .
