# LEGO Shellfish Abodes Harry The Crab is a Happy Block-Made Hermit By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-04-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-the-crab References: [obviouswinner](http://www.obviouswinner.com/obvwin/2012/4/5/harry-the-hermit-crab-lives-in-a-sweet-rainbow-lego-shell.html) & [legoland](http://www.legoland.co.uk/Explore/Whats-new/Atlantis-Submarine-Voyage/) Harry the Crab is a crustacean who lives at the Atlantis Discovery Area of Legoland in Windsor, United Kingdom. This is a theme park wholly dedicated to everything [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legotruman). The particular neighborhood that Harry lives is nautically themed -- an appropriate place for a hermit crab, no doubt. However, like the park in which it resides, almost everything in the aquarium is made from LEGO; this includes Harry's shell. The crafty little crab doesn't seem to mind though. In fact, the [colorful plastic blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-6) are probably a step up from a pop can or old boot, as far as crustacean abodes go. Beyond aesthetics, Harry's [LEGO shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-exhibition) offers him a surprising degree of mobility judging by the video featured here. He walks about without any noticeable amount of effort, proving that one need not always sacrifice form for function. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Lego-based Artifacts:** There is an opportunity to create new LEGO-based artifacts in the toys and hobby industry. - **Lego-based Mobility Devices:** Designing LEGO-based mobility devices for people with disabilities is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the healthcare industry. - **Lego-based Theme Parks:** Creating LEGO-based theme parks is an opportunity in the entertainment industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toys and Hobby:** The toys and hobby industry can explore making new LEGO-based artifacts. - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore designing LEGO-based mobility devices for people with disabilities. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore creating LEGO-based theme parks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Size-Scaled Block Puzzle Retiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legotruman.md) - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md) - [Kinetic Reef Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium.md) - [Interactive Bloclk Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-hula-girl.md) - [Buildable Wizard Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-talking-sorting-hat.md) - [Cork Bottle Terrarium Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-terrarium.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Building Block Tiny Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tiny-house.md) - [Life-Sized Puzzled Insect Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-collection.md)
