I am not a huge fan. I was kind of anticipating that there would be new items- instead of just a set of regular Legos that you could build a Minecraft-Esque world with, I was looking forward to Lego blocks that looked like Minecraft blocks. What can I do with this set that I can't already do with the Lego bricks in my closet? Couldn't we have some grey cubes with pixely stone texture on the side? Maybe hinged, cubic chests? Maybe some transparent blue and orange cubes for lava and water? I think that the Lego Minecraft sets do NOT live up to the feel of Minecraft and I will NOT be buying them.

Damn.... the american legolands suck arse compared to those crazy pieces... that's the one in Billund or Windsor? Probably Windsor from the looks of that second pic.
But really.... damn.

Do you guys have a legoland theme park? we've got one about 6 hrs away
AND ITS FUNKIN AMAZIN!!!!!

Both of these are made from lego!!!!11!

Yeah, the kid is 12 years old, and his stickers have won so many toy awards... he's even been on the Conan OBrian show.

And they're like $6 a pack, and they're reusable. Brilliant!

PS: I DID email him about the Minecraft idea.

Wow a kid designed that?
yeah, it'd be smarter if lego just bought that idea and reused that instead of the idea they implented now... just my opinion

a full-sized lego kit would probably cost in the $50 range as well, it's more the number of blocks than the actual size of them.

Now... if someone were really smart... and had an entreprenurial spirit... I would suggest making mini-stickers you could put onto your current lego blocks to make them into minecraft blocks. IE: ore patterns, creeper faces, Steve faces... piggy and cow faces...

these



were designed by a kid... smart kid. Maybe I should email him about the minecraft idea.

That set there is pretty good. To be honest if i brought it, it would probably just gather dust. I like building planes/spaceships out of lego, and i like that, i know that if it gets smashed up, i can just rebuild it, this seems very limited as to what you can do

It is nice, but i think it is way overpriced and is being used as a mutual benificial marketing method, you could do the same with normal lego, but then it'll be bigger, a bit more chunky. Minecraft is just digital lego

I don't know why... but I thought it end up looking more like this....




you know except for with the minecraft sized figures instead of the lego man and skeleton. (Pig seem pretty accurate)

But oh god.... if that small set is 35-50$ how much would this one be?!?!?!

I see what they did there.... using the 'connection' pieces to expand the world... they are little chunks!

I thought it was danish, that aside, i see where your coming from now with the price. However i probably wont buy it. There seens to be a general lack of block types and mobs, i there were more blocks, id consider it, but for the moment ill stick to the lego i already have

P.S carole did you get my PM?

i thought lego was swedish or something : |

So both the US and us in the UK pay £/$35 That means we have to pay more (it should be £22.20 if its $35 if they were being fair). - i've still pre-ordered it though

I ordered one using my dad's money, hoping he wouldn't find out. He found out, and said order him one too.

- Dino

well, you get all 4 of the mini-sets for that... and the mini-lego is far more expensive than the regular lego. I feel they missed out on making stair blocks, skellie, spider, pig, cow, chicken, etc.... that needs to be there. it ain't minecraft without the zombies either.

these are the modulex bricks...



this architectural set (gorgeous)


is $249.00. You get 420 bricks in the Minecraft set, for $55, that's about average for Lego. Yeah, I'll probably be buying it.

jesus.... 35 punds or like... 50 dollars cdn/usd around ( i suck at conversion)

for that?

I've bought star destroyers for that amount - -

I like Lego.
