After a long hiatus, the latest PodBrix custom minifig product “Young Woz and Jobs Playset” goes on sale in on August 29th at 9pm Eastern.
Re-creating the early years of Woz and Jobs collaboration the “Young Woz and Jobs Playset” is a 300 unit limited numbered edition set. What ideas was Jobs percolating in his subconscious back in 1972? The included mini thought-bubble attempts to answer the question.
Hand created by Tomi, each playset contains a young version of Jobs and Woz immortalized in minifig form. The backdrop set features a desk with custom made computer, circuit board based project in progress, and a “2001-style” calendar marking a fateful date (April 14, 1972). The reverse of the backdrop displays the limited edition unit number and is signed by Tomi. Some assembly is required.
The Young Woz and Jobs Playset retails for US$39.99. More details and product photos will be available on the PodBrix.com site at 9pm Eastern time on August 29th.

Why is Woz grinning madly while clutching a giant, black sex toy? I think we missed something.
Sweet. I managed to pick up the Keynote set relatively cheaply on eBay (though not as cheaply as if I’d bought it on release day!) and this will be a welcome addition. Now if only we could buy fully fledged Steve Jobs action figures …
Oh, and just to ruin everything, Jobs didn’t think of the iPhone till his engineers showed him their Mac tablet prototype…
Macs are toys.
Sex toy my ass, you need to expand your pr0n collection – or start one like all good Windows users.
Your fantasy, our profit™
The original picture did not have an iPhone in it, but was actually just the smoke coming from the fatty that was Photoshopped out of Steve’s hand.
Now you know the real reason for their expressions….
ha, steve jobs action figure, complete with hang-wringing pullstring action!
I am so excited I could puke.
This is news?

Sounds like someone could use a little breath of dragon smoke.
Here, the carb is under the tail. Yeah, I know, kinda weird. Someone left it here….I think.
$40.00 bucks for a few lego bricks?
They each have a quarter pound of weed stuffed into their pants. No wonder the monitor looked glossy.
Be glad that you don’t use Windows, glossy or not

@CitizenX
They’re hand-made and limited-edition. Watch the price skyrocket when they sell out!
Wow – that’s one glossy screen they included in the set! Anyone know if there is an option for a matte screen instead?
Peace.
iMovie ’72 was known as “View-Master”.
Is Woz is holding a bong?
Good christ this is stupid. This is the sort of junk that attracts trolls here in the first place – please delete this.
Hey, after studying the top of that computer for a while, I realized that it is expandable…..
@No Squirt For You,
iMovie ’72 was known as “View-Master”.

MDN Magic Word: medical… like medical aid?
April 1, 1977 is Apple’s inception date, but what’s “fateful” about the calendar date April 14, 1972?
MW: “family”
I think April 14, 1972 is the day Jobs and Woz met… you know, like the day Lennon and McCartney met, or Clinton and Lewinski.
” . . . like the day Lennon and McCartney met, or Clinton and Lewinski.”
LOL!
Or Marx and Engels, Nick and Jessica, Rosie O’Donnell and pie.

Make that ‘cherry’ pie…..
for the children, of course.
“I think April 14, 1972 is the day Jobs and Woz met… you know, like the day Lennon and McCartney met, or Clinton and Lewinski.”
What I want to know is — why does the calendar actually have April 16, 1972 highlighted?
And each one will fit in my rectum perfectly!
Microsoft. Your anus. Our passion.
The Apple II was introduced on April 16, 1977 at the first West Coast Computer Faire.
Typos?
The thought plickens.
