LEGO BRICKHEADZ Secret Stash (for USB, Keys, Etc.)

LEGO BRICKHEADZ are collectable figures of iconic characters, like the amazing Batman!

I realised when building it for myself that the 'core' of the build, although adding stability and substance, seemed a little un-necessary, given it was not an 'action figure' which you crash around with! It's more for displaying on your shelf...

...So I figured that with only a couple pieces - I could remove the 'core', so it could be used for storing something else. It felt quite 'Batman' to have a secret inside him!

I found that it holds a USB drive easily. (LINK). As well as small keys. It seemed ideal for this cool contest - so I wrote it up to share - hope its useful, and please vote if you liked it =)

Disclosure: I do work at LEGO, but this is just done in my own time, for fun, and is not endorsed by, or associated with LEGO Group in any way. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you leave your BitCoin codes in this ;o)

I find it pretty likely that if you are a LEGO fan, that you probably have these in a box somewhere, but if not, you can simply buy single pieces from Bricklink. (LINK).

If you want to buy one, check this out (LINK), or of course Amazon/eBay have ones out of stock.

Keep them to one side, perhaps make something from them. :s

Ignore the 2x3 Plates, but do the other pieces.
As late, you are going to replace the 4x3 area, with your '1x1' and 'L's.

This is the level to remove and replace with these 4 bricks.

Of course other alternatives can be used, but you get the idea. Main thing is you have a 2x2 stud holed at the end.

Don't need to do this bit either.

(Quite colourful on the inside, for something you don't see, huh!?)

In my case, my hidden thing is a USB stick, but whatever suits you.

I liked that it seems really unlikely that someone would look in this, and you'll never lose/forget your favourite LEGO figure! Some would say, it's 'hiding in plain sight'!

As Batman would say - "You're Welcome". =)

Truth is, I've not tested it, but as LEGO provides all PDFs of their builds online, you can check before you buy:

I'm nostalgic for my childhood, so Doc & Marty were another good choice to try - and they work too - though it feels more of a lobotomy for Doc...I'm sure Christopher Lloyd would approve.
