Hence, if you have spare LEGO minifigures and LEGO bricks, you can use it to customize the charger to your liking.

You can use the LEGO bricks to create a stand for the Builder Block, and LEGO minifigures can be placed on top of it. Or you can use the LEGO bricks to create a mobile phone stand on top of the Builder Block. It is up to your creativity!
