The Lego Renaissance

"Never mind the recession - Lego is now so popular that there are 62 little coloured blocks for every person on the planet. Yet only five years ago this family business was on the brink of ruin. Jon Henley reports from the Danish town where it all began."

-- from today's Guardian


Now I understand that there are more people like Mark Anderson, an adult who makes spaceships out of Legos than me -- someone who does not make stuff out of Legos.

I loved playing with legos when I was a kid, although I always managed to lose the heads of all my little lego people.

Seriously, that was just a great article! I can't believe they sell 7 sets per second. (3 of them to me!)
