There’s something about brick-based and retro gadgets that gets everyone going. There have been many examples of the neo-retro creation that bring the charm of brick building to a geek’s desk. JMBrickplaer keeps that emotion alive with a collection of vintage sets that bring back the allure of classic retro design.
The collection comes in two different model building sets that take you back to the 70s and 80s era. Both these sets have amazing attention to detail in recreating the individual gadgets that make up these two sets. One is the JMBricklayer Typewriter Walkman Television Building Toys 20131 consisting of a typewriter, music player with earphones and a television set. The other is the JMBricklayer Adult Vintage Building Sets 20132 that has a retro game console, a radio model, and a vintage PC.
Designer: JMBricklayer
This set comes from JMBricklayer, a LEGO-competitor that has grown to become one of the largest toy brick-making companies in the world. The China-based manufacturer is known for its amazing bricks builder sets like the Steampunk Marble Run machine, and these two collectible sets are in the same league.

The 3-in-1 2031 brick vintage set, priced at $30, takes you back in time when gadgets were a luxury, and even a typewriter was an elusive machine to own. The 660-piece collectible is perfect for your office desk or workstation shelf at home. Each one of the gadgets has a very lifelike appearance and faithfully replicates the original devices of the golden era.
You can assemble the mechanical typewriter to dive into the nostalgia of typewritten characters, or put together the buildable Walkman with a retro tape to relive the youthful memories. Even better, you can remember those days when watching television was such an exciting activity. The TV set builds into one with a “No Signal” display.

This one is my personal favorite since it has an arcade gaming console. The set priced at $28.50 has 552 pieces that build up to take the shape of a game console, radio and computer. Each one of them is ideal for your bookshelf or desk setup, making you remember those golden times when less was more.
The radio has multiple movable details making it playful and engaging, while the vintage computer with a detachable rear section takes you back in time when computing machines were in their toddling stage. Last but not least, the classic game console urges you to pick up those controllers and instinctively get going for a session of gaming with your best pal.
Both of these sets are an absolute must-have, given their affordable price and the level of detail in the construction of the bricks.
