Retro Cassette Brick Puzzles

The LEGO Sony Walkman is Designed by Srta.JirafaEnfadada

— January 26, 2024 — Tech
LEGO Designer Srta.JirafaEnfadada creates a unique new LEGO Sony Walkman entirely from the bricks to bring a nostalgic and artful approach to the look. The entry was seen in the LEGO Ideas forum and the device that it honors is specifically the WM-22 walkman device.

It comes in the notable red colorway palette and features intricate details including the opened flap along the front with a clear window to look into what cassette is playing inside or loaded up. Other details that make it feel more real include the play and pause buttons as well as the rewind and fast forward buttons. The rotary dial is an interactive feature that replicates adjusting the music's volume.
