700-piece Lego G3 iMac design faces long-shot odds to get made, but I still want one

I am generally not too enthusiastic about the conceptions submitted by users on the Lego Ideas website, especially when these ideas would require negotiating a license with another company – the conceptions generated by users must reach 10,000 supporters before Lego considers them for production, two bars high enough to be clear even without taking into account the conditions and requests of another brand.

But I am both intrigued and impressed by this Lego version of the former Bondi Blue G3 of Apple who went around today. Subjected by a user named Terauma, the whole of more than 700 pieces comes with a keyboard, a hockey-power mouse, a classic Mac OS start screen and cathodic ray tubes and printed circuits visible through the transparent blue case of the whole (like the original iMac, it can cause controversy by excluding a transparent blue disc). The design has already reached 5,000 supporters, and it remains 320 days to reach the reference of 10,000 bubblers which must be examined by LEGO.

With its aesthetics for personality and design led by Jony IVE, the original iMac was the first step on the path that led to successful products like the iPod and the iPhone. It was the brand new Mac design of the company after the CEO Steve Jobs returned to the company in the late 90s, and although it lacks features included in contemporary PCs, its closely integrated design and its ease of configuration helped it stand out against the beige office PC of the day. Today’s silicon imacs today are clearly inspired by the original design.
