I would love to find this under the tree this Christmas!

from the Lego Shop:

“LEGO® counting in the kitchen!

It’s not just a LEGO® minifigure head…it’s a LEGO egg timer! Just twist the top to set the timer to ring after anything from a minute to an hour. Ticks off the seconds and rings when done!

  • Timer is decorated with three minifigure faces – set the timer to swap eyes and mouths!
  • Counts minutes up to an hour, just turn the timer to 60 before winding it up!”

from the press release:

The 50th birthday of the LEGO brick is in January 2008 and there is plenty to celebrate. Children all over the world have played with LEGO bricks for the past 50 years, and LEGO is still right at the top of many wish lists – just as it always has been. Industry and trade associations also recognize the LEGO success. Just before the turn of the millennium the LEGO brick was voted “Toy of the Century”, one of the highest awards in the toy industry, by both Fortune Magazine in the US and the British Association of Toy Retailers.
