Lite Table brings back illuminated childhood memories

While some things may take you back, the Lite Table manages to warp you way back. Upon first glance, there's absolutely no doubt where this masterpiece of a table got its inspiration, and for those who wasted hours on end moving pegs and devising new Lite Bright creations as a wee lad (or dame), any price would seem reasonable for this. Granted, this piece has been spotted before, but thanks to Jellio, what appears to be a fanboy's creation is actually available for purchase. What's it gonna take? A mere $600, a whole lot of patience, and a prime spot in the living room to show your youngsters that grown-ups can still relate.

apparently, Surface got done sooner than expected! Good for Microsoft! They're just like the special olympics kids... They try so hard, you just gotta cheer them on.

Lite Bright was kick ass.

I remember melting all of the pegs on the bulb.

[kerunt @ Jul 15th 2007 2:28AM]

No idea. Just a box with LEDs?

[Josef F @ Jul 15th 2007 12:09AM]

Quick! Somebody overreact and shut down Boston!

Lite-Brite, not Bright.

I was electrocuted by a Lite Brite in 2nd grade.

This is so unbelievably overpriced. Yeah, it looks cool and all. But $600?!

[David Landrum @ Jul 15th 2007 2:47AM]

I bet you can build your own for under $100.

[Ross Perkins @ Jul 15th 2007 7:56AM]

Wait, the website says "one hundred oversized acrylic pegs that light up when positioned over a small light source." So not only are they not LEDs, it doesn't even have its own light source!

[HyperHacker @ Jul 15th 2007 3:33PM]

Unless there is a small light source in the box.

I tried to make Bugs Bunny, but I needed an additional set. :(

Spam it where the spam don't spam, spammy.

This seems profoundly dumb. It's not just the harsh price-point -- it's the extremely low resolution of the actual device. Near as I can see, the original Lite-Brite is about 44 "pixels" by 44 "pixels", which is over 17 times the resolution. Current ones seem to be about 25x25 for $10, which is still over 6 times the resolution of the $600 dollar item. You'd do a lot better to buy a nice table, cannibalize 9 actual lite-brites, buy a transformer, and pocket the remaining $300 or so.
