In case it disappears, there is a picture of a mindstorms unit with the
following text:
Most folks have some sort of childhood memory involving LEGOs (+114%). For
some, it’s of building a brightly colored skyscraper. For others, it’s of
being rushed to the ER with a LEGO-man’s torso up their nose. Whatever your
experience with the plastic blocks all those years ago, there’s no denying
LEGOS are surging in the Search box. The catalyst for this block-tacular boom
has to be the videogame, LEGO Star Wars. Searches on the kid-friendly title,
which combines the setting and story of Star Wars with the look and feel of a
LEGO inspired world, have climbed 303% since its release last month. Of
course, not all LEGO-related searches have to do with a galaxy far, far away.
Here are six of the Buzz’s most popular searches. Go forth and build
something -- but keep the little bricks out of your nose.
1. LEGO Star Wars -- Jar-Jar and C-3PO are somehow less annoying in block
form.
2. LEGOLAND -- fan of plastic bricks? This is your Graceland.
3. History of LEGOs -- recently voted the best plastic product of all
time. Take that, Tupperware!
4. New Star Wars LEGOs -- not to be confused
with their virtual cousins.
5. Castle LEGOs -- perfect for the ambitious
builder with a thing for moats.
6. Spider-Man LEGOs -- sometimes the
web-head can be a real block-head.
