There are 62 bricks of Lego for every person on the planet. That means over 400 billion pieces have been made since 1958. Approximately 19 billion lego elements are produced each year. 2.16 million are molded every hour, 36,000 every minute, and I probably have most of them in my attic. Lego is the one thing I could never get rid of, in a few years each block will be worth more than gold. You will have adverts on TV asking for people to trade their 'Lego for Cash'.With all these bricks produced you'd think they would have branched out into current affairs. I want to see Osama Bin Laden in his cave, maybe his house with the marine Lego men surrounding it. I want to see Gadaffi and Taliban Lego. In each box you will get a back story of what has been going on in current news so kids are really learning about the world, and then you can build and destroy Tripoli with the rebel forces, or move a tidal wave into the the Japanese power plants where fake smoke pours from the top and green radioactive Lego pieces spill all around. This could be a real learning tool for all the next MP's and Congress members.
Some examples:
Celebrities
Twin Towers
Natural Disasters
The Brothers Brick
Star Destroyer
