Aurora and Steve Weinstock hope to clean up and get a deal for Pick Up Bricks, their special vacuum for cleaning up LEGOS and other small toys, in Shark Tank episode 1510, the season 15 “Holiday Special.” Aurora got the idea for her Lego vacuum after stepping on way too many LEGOS after her kids were done playing with them. If anyone has ever stepped on a LEGO barefoot, you can identify with the pain.
She set out to make PickUp Bricks 4 years ago and finally perfected it. Her brother-in-law, Steve, tends to the “nuts and bolts” side of the business. He was intrigued by the idea (and had stepped on a few LEGOS himself) and brought his background in finance to the company. Pick Up Bricks is essentially a mini vacuum cleaner that sucks up scattered LEGOS and separates any dirt and dust into a different compartment. It not only works, but it makes kids want to pick up their toys.
The product got a big boost in January, 2023, when a video of the vacuum went viral, garnering over 1.5 million views on Tik Tok. That led to Pick Up Bricks getting featured on the Today Show and in other media outlets. The vacuum will set you back $99 and is available on the company website and Amazon. They likely want a Shark’s help getting into retail stores – right on the shelves next to LEGOS.

Pick Up Bricks Shark Tank Recap
Aurora and Steve will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. They’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but they’ll need to show them THEY are capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Pick Up Bricks will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
