# Functional Swiss-Army Toy Tools Tall Brick Guy Creates the Usable new LEGO Multi-Tool By Amy Duong | Published 2023-01-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-multitool References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/01/25/adorably-functional-lego-swiss-army-multitool-actually-has-implements-that-you-could-use/) & [ideas.lego](https://ideas.lego.com/profile/3fe15454-2905-4001-b528-40b7700df411/entries)  The new [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-microscope) Multi-Tool is a LEGO set that is made by a fan currently in the Ideas forum for the company with votes from the community that supports the idea. It is styled to look like a [Victorinox Swiss Army tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-pocketknives) and has some usable tools including a brick separator, magnifying glass, Technic axle, and more. Tall Brick Guy notes that the set is “Inspired by the variety of [multi-tools available in everyday life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multitool-designs), I decided to create one designed specifically for LEGO fans. Of course, the most important tool in any LEGO builder’s arsenal is the Brick Separator, and so I began working on a way to incorporate this classic, although oddly shaped, piece into a compact, functional build.” Image Credit: Tall Guy Brick ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LEGO Multi-tool:** Creation of fan-designed LEGO sets with functional tools included. - **Toy Innovation:** Integrating practical everyday items into toy designs. - **Crowdsourced Product Development:** Utilizing the Ideas forum for companies to create new products based on the community's votes and feedback. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Creating innovative toys that integrate practical tools and everyday items. - **Product Design:** Creating products with tools that fit multi-use and practicality. - **Crowdsourcing:** Providing platforms where consumers can express opinions and ideas to help design innovative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Block Puzzle Microscope Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-microscope.md) - [Replicated Old-Fashioned Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-replica-1897-edition.md) - [Customizable Compact Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-compact-multitool.md) - [Photography Brand Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-multi.md) - [Retro-Colored Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leatherman-x-topo-designs-skeletool.md) - [Adaptable Modular Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roxon-flex-titan.md) - [Hyper-Tough Titanium Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smith-blade.md) - [Ultra-Modular Magnetic Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/douglas-windeler.md) - [Commemorative Original Model Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leatherman-garage-mr-crunch.md)
