If you saw our article about being an adult dealing with a Lego addiction, you know storage for all of those precious little bricks can be a bit of an issue. That having been said, this Legoman basket is far too awesome to toss your garbage into.
The basket is available in red, blue, black, and white.

Ditch those Rubbermaid boxes for some of these giant Lego brick storage bins. And yes, you can totally stack them.
The brick bins come in medium and large sizes, but the best part is that the minifig head you see in the background of this photo is also available for storage.

Mimoco used Star Wars Celebration V as an opportunity to announce the latest in their series of Mimobot USB drives.
Series 6 includes: Yoda, Hoth Luke, Wampa and Snowtrooper and are available in 2GB ($29.95), 4GB ($39.95), 8GB ($59.95) and 16GB ($89.95) capacities. A gallery of the collection is after the break, along with a “deleted seens” Star Wars video featuring the Mimobot characters.
One of the trends I’m seeing right now is the desire to merge the home office with the kitchen. We have tiny microwaves, tiny fridges and a myriad USB devices that deal with food (I actually have a huge wine fridge in my home office, but that’s a whole other thing that I’ll probably have to work out in a 12-step program).
This pencil bowl is another one of those products that blurs the line between home office and kitchen. Use it to hold fruit and vegetables while it simultaneously functions as decorative storage for your writing implements.
From the makers of the iPhone bacon case comes the all new iPad bacon case.
But why would we want this new bacon case when our old bacon case was just fine? Well, there’s MORE bacon—and who can resist more bacon right?

At first it might seem like one of those crazy one-off concepts, but the “built to resist” backpack couch from Eastpak and design stuidio Quinze & Milan might actually be a brilliant storage solution for small apartments.
This DIY kit features all the pieces necessary to construct your very own AT-AT Walker cable tidy. In addition to organizing cables and hiding power strips, it also features ample storage for any spillover from stuffed gadget drawers. Throw in a few coats of paint and a little detail and you could get it looking pretty close to the real thing.
With only 1GB of storage, I wouldn’t say the Force is particularly strong with these flash drives, but they are shaped like little lightsabers. And the best part is that they actually light up when you plug ‘em in to your USB port.
Want to recycle your batteries but you’re not sure how? Well, this battery-shaped recycling tin doesn’t answer that question, but it does something almost as good—it puts that problem off until later. In the meantime, your drawers will stay just a little bit tidier. According to the product page, the tin comes in two parts to accommodate batteries large and small—but you could use it to store just about anything that will fit.
These “short circuit” bookshelves by Alexandra DiCairano are inspired by the form of circuit boards and transform their function from housing digital information to physical information in the form of books. They could have allowed you to create series and parallel circuits of style with an additional “I shop at Radio Shack” edge, but they aren’t offered for sale. So you can only dream of what might have been.
