If you were waiting to get the new LEGO Minecraft set in the USA, you might be out of luck. Apparently, there were only 10000 sets created and won’t be any more for a long time. A reader by the name of Dennis over on Brickset received the following email from LEGO:

Dear Dennis,

Meanwhile, we have a team of experts in Denmark whose job it is to invent new LEGO® toys every year. They spend their time trying to create new and fun toys for children of all ages. You never know though, some of the old favorites sometimes make a comeback, so keep a look out!

The Minecraft Mirco World set became the third project to be approved. The set contains 480 pieces and retails for $34.99, which comes out to be $0.07/piece. The box is shaped in a 12cm square box that resembles a block in the Minecraft world. The box contains six un-numbered bags, two instruction booklets, and an orange brick seperator. The beginning of the first booklet describes what Minecraft and LEGO CUUSOO is. Also, if you pre-ordered through J!NX in February 2012, you get a Creeper Inside sticker.
