Today LEGO has made an official statement that will begin designing and creating sets based the popular Indie PC game Minecraft. Back in December the creators of Minecraft started a petition to LEGO Cuusoo, as they are the division that deals with petitions for new creations. Once the petition reached over 10,000 signatures, it was placed in LEGO Review where it passed.
Here's the official statement by LEGO:
"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."
