I’m sure I’m not the first guy to point this out but Legos and Minecraft have a lot in common. With Legos, you can build homes, cars, trees, basically anything you can imagine. With Minecraft, players have to gather resource, but once they do, they can create almost anything they can dream up, including the Starship Enterprise.

It seemed like a natural fit for these two brands to come together, and they managed to do so thanks to the Lego Cuusoo program. It lets fans offer up ideas for Lego projects. Others vote and it goes to a review stage where the Lego company decides if it’s viable or not. Minecraft went through this same process and it ultimately came out. I preordered one from Jinx when I heard about it, and now, it’s finally here. Below is what the product looks like. It took about three or four hours to put everything together.

Gieson has lots of great images.

Now, about that Starship Enterprise... Wow!

Some of the images he links to in his article are pretty extraordinary.

Check out this Lego San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf:

Or this 56 Chevy Pickup.

And then there's The Last Supper..
