Sales for the 5,922-piece set have reportedly soared a skyrocketting 663 percent since Beckham's confession.
Bosses at the Danish toy manufacturer are so pleased, they have invited the Beckham family over to their headquarters in Billund.
A spokesman for the company said: "David and the boys are big fans and we are always open to new ideas from people passionate about Lego.
"We hope they take us up on our invitation."
