LEGO mini space shuttle toy soars out of stores in monthly giveaway

It was "3, 2, 1... build-off!" at LEGO stores nationwide on Tuesday night (Feb. 3), as the toy company gave away thousands of space shuttle construction kits.

The latest of LEGO's free Monthly Mini Model Builds, the shuttle was especially a hit in Houston, home to NASA's former space shuttle program for 30 years. Children ages six to 14, accompanied by their parents, lined up in droves outside the Baybrook Mall LEGO store, located just a few miles away from the Johnson Space Center.

"We usually have a good size crowd for these monthly models," a Baybrook store employee told collectSPACE. "But with this being a space shuttle, and we being here at NASA, it is particularly popular."

(Includes the instructions, so if you can find the bricks you can build your own.)
