In a release on their own site, Global LEGO sales up 15 percent in first half of 2014.  What this means is that their upward momentum - having passed Hasbro a little while back - was furthered by the hit LEGO Movie just enough to snag the top spot.

But what does this mean for you?  LEGO Star Wars toys are still really hot stuff, and more analysis shows they just might be able to hang on to the top spot.  Growth in Asian markets isn't hurting, either.
