Just a theory.  With Minecraft hitting amazing sales records, is it possible that this game is bringing people out of the dark ages?

 

I am actually thinking of writing my first article on this.  Looking for thoughts on the topic.

That's why I chose them, Mr. Crowley. :)

I would imagine the popularity of any Lego set helps Lego's overall sales.

Anytime they can license a product to bring in a new audience it has to be a good thing. Minecraft is already a well known brand.

Anyone made their own Minecraft sets inspired by the first one?  e.***. With lots of little 1x1 tiles?
