Minecraft and Lego – together forever?
What’s that thing called where you can build whatever you want out of little square blocks? You know, you can make houses and cars and boats and people and faces and trees and and and….
If you said, “Lego”, you’d be right. If you said, “Minecraft”, you’d be right.
Lego have a site named CUUSOO, designed for people to submit ideas for new Lego sets – and the Minecraft suggestion is gathering pace, no doubt helped in part by the similarity between Lego and Minecraft.
“But why turn a computer game in to Lego? Surely that’s silly!”, I hear you saying. Not if you play Halo, for example.
The idea has been submitted at least twice to CUUSOO – once by Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, and once by a fan.
You have to wonder if there will be faithful Lego replicas of zombies, Creepers and Endermen. And can the spiders be made of something bouncy?
A percentage of the profit from selling the Minecraft Lego sets will be donated to charity, so not only will you get to play with Lego again, you can feel good about “doing your bit” as well!
The only downside is that, unlike Minecraft the game, you can still get bits of Lego stuck in your foot as you walk round the house…
