Remember that tale about the Three Little Pigs and the idiot one who built his house from straw and got deservedly eaten by the huffy-puffy wolf? You might be forgiven then for scoffing at the LEGO Safe.

Weighing in at 14lbs, this LEGO NXT Safe is a little more secure than its component parts suggest but don't, for a second, believe that we recommend you stash your diamonds and pearls in one.

What it is though is another highly innovative use of LEGO NXT to create a safe that has a lock that requires 5, double-digit numbers - that's a possible 305bn different combinations -and even sports a built-in motion sensor that triggers an alarm if anyone tries to move it.

The little LCD allows you to enter the numbers by rotating those large LEGO wheels and you can hear the all the whirring and popping before the door opens electronically.

We're guessing it's not sledgehammer-proof but as a Geek Den for all your gadgety bits it's just perfect.

Maybe you'd prefer the LEGO Scanner or the highly desirable LEGO Death Star?
