Mojang Making Official Minecraft Legos

[Da pyro man 999]

Well, when i get them for my nephew for Christmas, at least I'll have a representation of something i really like sticking painfully out of my heel

 

[Virmire]

This strikes me as being like a Call of Duty and Battlefield crossover. Pretty well the same thing.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Life imitating art imitating life... Yeah, stop the world, I think this is my stop.

You know, I can't help but feel like Mojang is sort of... Cashing out... Out this point.

I mean, Minecraft is awesome and all, but... Lego? Really? On top of all the other stuff... Xbox/iOS ports, merchandise, a whole freakin' convention... It's starting to feel like Mojang are exploiting they're fan base. Heck, they even 'released Minecraft, increasing its price, when some of the most prominent bugs in the game haven't even been ironed out yet. (eg. The mob spawning while you sleep bug)

Wait I minute. This would all fall under the premise that Minecraft isn't essentially virtual Lego. Hm. Well than.

More Lego into the world? Well that's a good thing regardless, even with the baffling minecraft link.

Incidentally, and out of interest, is it only here in the UK where 'Lego' is used as both the singular and the plural? Reading (or even worse, hearing) 'Legos' is something I can never get used to.

I am known to use Lego as plural.

You're a man of fine taste and sophistication my friend, I doff my hat and welcome you into the fold as a fellow 'Lego' pluraliser (yep, made a word to describe you, that's how awesome you are).

Yes, god forbid he makes money on his creation!
And damn him for releasing on other platforms, has he no shame?

No one is forcing you to buy these things you know.
I for one love my Minecraft T-shirt!

OT:
I think this is pretty cool, and I'll pick some up if they ever get released.

LEGO Minecraft game?
Intriguing.

 

[darthricardo]

Yo dawg, I heard you like Lego, so we turned your computer Lego into real Lego so you can build stuff you built.
In all honesty though, I'm actually kind of excited about this. This is the kind of bare-bones Lego set I'd really want to buy.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Lego's reaction to this: We can make billions just by taking our basic earth-tone blocks and just repackaging them without even having to relabel them?

We're in.

"Mojang has also promised any royalties it makes from the project to charity."

Ummm how is that at all different from regular legos? That gives me an idea, Lego themed Legos! We'll make millions!

 

[Nouw]

The only difference between regular lego and this lego, in my perspective, is greater variety and making it easier to create landscapes. Which I approve of. I'm sure many stop-motion animators will find these handy when making sets.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

Shit. I'm gonna have to clean my Dr. Pepper off my keyboard now.

 

[Sordin]

Mojang (the creator of minecraft)+ LEGO (the creator of bionicle)=PPPPPPPPPPProfit. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Kind of wondered when the inevitable merging between the two would occur.

 

[Jiefu]

Swedes working with Danes? Never!

I'm proud of you, Escapist.
Also, I don't get this at all. I thought Minecraft was invented to just be Legos on a more grand scale. It's better, though, because of things like redstone, and the ability to create music, and all those other kooky gadgets. The idea of mixing Minecraft and Legos just seems sorta nonsensical to me.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

Who'd thunk it.

OT: Um...ok..better be cheap then for bunch of them. So people can build LOTR replicas with those aswell.

Damn ninjas!

 

[newwiseman]

So long as I still have floating blocks I'll be happy

 

[therandombear]

Shit. I'm gonna have to clean my Dr. Pepper off my keyboard now.

Should've been a "Warning: May cause spittage of fluids" or something like that then.
