Cute News Article

Post by legitimatealex » Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:08 am

I was just perusing the news as I often do at work to fill the large gaps of time when I am not working and came across this. I knew that Beckham was a fan of LEGO previously but I didn't think that a single statement would cause the Taj Mahal sales to jump up 663%.

Here's the link:

LEGO Model Sales Skyrocket 663 Percent, Thanks To David Beckham

Haha I kind of thought that too. I don't imagine these things fly off the shelves at the warehouse.

Just to throw some Math at it.

The lowes amount that would work would be they sold 3 prior and the new sales number is 20

I remember reading this article last year, and I thought how amazing it was how the sales of a certain product could increase so immensely just because a celebrity purchased it. Athough it is a cool set.
