We flagged this up when it was doing the trade shows a short while back, but now the Lego Radio Alarm Clock is available to buy in the UK.

Certain to brighten up your morning, it's an oversized Lego brick, complete with 'studs' that double as volume and tuning controls (the former also doubling as a snooze button). Not only that, this Lego gadget also offers up AM/FM radio, a 12/24-hour clock, an alarm function and the option of battery or mains power.

Looks good, does the job, what's not to like? Certainly not the price – it sells for a very reasonable £24.99.

New meets old with the Fatman Wi-Tube – an old school valve-based audio system for your iPhone.

Looks alone sell it – those valves sat proudly on a curved base, complete with old school VU meter and some chrome detailing. But it's not all about the looks, you also get a wireless FatDock for accessing tunes from your iPhone (or iPod) and of course, that 'warm' valve-based audio, which adds a traditional warmth to your digital tunes, not to mention an output of 28w per channel.

Also included is a remote control, the option to synchronise tunes with your computer (via USB) and the ability to hook up other music devices (with the aid of a cable). £399 is the price for the system, look out for it in April. See a larger image of the main unit over the page.

Fancy yourself as a superstar DJ, but still want to keep your retro cool? You need the Hulger x Broken Hearts Two Tone DJ P*Phone.

Yes, it's one of those phones that DJs use to cue up records, just plug it into the mixer and hear the point where the tune starts. Ok, that's a fairly niche use, but luckily the DJ P*Phone has more versatility, hooking up with your mobile phone too, should you want the comfort and convenience of an old school handset when you make a long call.

A special edition in two colour schemes (black on white or white on black), £60 will secure you one.
