There Will be Minecraft LEGO

Last month, we reported that the developers of Minecraft petitioned LegoCuusoo, an official branch of the Lego company, to create Minecraft Lego sets. It was announced today that there was enough support garnered (over 10,000 people) to create the match made in heaven:

Minecraft Lego.

Happy New Year! Since the Minecraft™ project reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO® CUUSOO, many of you have been eagerly awaiting our update.  Until now, the project has been in the LEGO Review—a stage before product development begins where a LEGO Jury evaluates the idea’s feasibility as a product and makes a decision.

We're happy to announce that the Minecraft project on LEGO CUUSOO has passed the LEGO review and we are now developing a concept that celebrates the best aspects of building with the LEGO system and in Minecraft. We can’t wait to show it to you—but it isn't ready just yet. These things take time, so we appreciate your patience. More details are to come.

It will be interesting to see what we will get, but I imagine it will be just as good as the prototypes that Mojang sent over.
