If you have been scouting around ebay, you would have noticed that there are other people selling similar products like mine. The difference is that most, if not all of them are cast from plastic into the flash drive form. Those are not original LEGO® bricks. Those infringe on the trademark of LEGO®.
It’s cheaper and faster to cast the bricks for the flash drives, but do note that it’s illegal. When you buy from them, you are short-changing LEGO®. Imagine a childhood without LEGO® bricks.
I found that I did not phrase some of my words in this blog correctly, and the Legal Analyst from LEGO® group took the time and effort to go through with me on the problem areas.
Basically we should only use the word “LEGO®” as an adjective, as in LEGO® bricks or LEGO® icecube tray. Secondly, I need a “® ” to indicate that LEGO® is trademarked. I mistakenly used a “©” in two places which is for copy right. Just these two points, it’s that simple really.
Anyway, don’t buy pirated products. Get the real stuff.
If you had followed a link from ebay, I’ll be halting the sale of the flash drive for the month of March 2009. This is because I will be away to Clipsal 500 as part of training for Singapore Grand Prix officials. 
I’ll continue the sale again when I’m back home.
I’m selling these flash drives on ebay here
So if you found this site by chance and is thinking of getting a special Christmas present for someone, this may be what you are looking for.
I ship everyday except Sunday (when the post office is closed). Buy via the “Buy it now”, make payment via paypal and you will get your usb flash drive in 8-10 days time.
Merry Christmas.
In the course of making the bricks fit the USB flash drives, I have damaged quite a few of them. Mostly scarred by the dremel due to my negligence.
Well, they were sacrificed for a greater cause.
Firstly, the boring flash drive you get in the stores….
After some Dremel love and needle file persuasion…
These are the ones I sell on eBay.
LEGO® has some transparent bricks and I finally hunted down some used pieces on eBay.
And here they are!
I found that the transparent pieces are slightly different in size from the normal opaque ones. The walls are actually thicker, so it was not as straight forward to fit the flash drive into the brick. But nothing stops a Dremel and some needle files.
Made a couple more in yellow 2×4 brick with blue plate and one with red plate.
You can barely see a hole on the one with the blue plate. That hole is for the LED activity light.
Personally, I like the yellow with red plate.
My order of new lego 2×4 bricks are here!
