Lego USBs and USB Flash Chip Price Update

We must of all sometime in our life played with Lego, maybe as a kid or maybe your kids play with it now, there is no doubt Lego has tested time and still lives on.

Lego saw it’s status raised after launching a successful series of console games spread across all platforms. Lego – Star Wars, Lego – Indian Jones. Well now they are making Lego shaped USB people.

Some think they have missed an opportunity with USB People already having a major foot hold in the market of people shaped USB’s. Our sister website www.usbpeople.co.uk has been promoting USB shaped people since April 2009

There are over 50 styles of USB people to choose from and you can even create your own character, need a fireman… no worries, getting married and need a Bride and Groom designed USB people… considered them made. The only limitation when designing your bespoke USB people is your imagination!!!

The new Lego characters look set for the end user market and are not currently positioning themselves in the logo branded promotional USB sector. So far they are only available in the US.

With regards to the price increase on Nand USB Flash Chips, good news, today we saw USB flash chips retrace in price, all but one capacity of flash chip falling to lower levels. The biggest movement was in the 8Gb chips which has gone from being up $2.10 earlier this week to settle pre weekend at +$0.31, a weekly change of -$1.97.

The price decrease is as foretold in my previous blog. We are now expecting future price reductions over the forth coming weeks as the Nand flash markets are restored back to the prices seen prior to the Japanese tsunami.
