There appears to be a strong connection between Apple enthusiasts and LEGO lovers. With nearly two dozen LEGO-themed apps available for iPhone and iPad users, the collaboration between these two fan bases is evident. Last year, a creative LEGO fan submitted a design for a detailed Apple Store made entirely out of LEGO bricks. The design gained popularity and support on LEGO's "Ideas" website, where users can submit their concepts for potential LEGO sets. The LEGO Apple Store design quickly garnered attention, reaching 1,000 supporters within six days of submission and eventually hitting the 10,000 vote milestone to advance to the Review phase.
