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,

Thanks for your interest in our products.

Set#21102 CUUSOO Minecraft is sold out. There were 10,000 sets created, Dennis, and all have been sold! There are not plans to produce any more of the set. 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!

You might still be able to get your hands on one over in the Europe LEGO Shop@Home if you hurry. You could also find one on eBay or Amazon but at extremely high prices. Good luck!

**Update – 6/26/12** One of our readers, AlphaYoder, notes that Tim from LEGO CUUSOO gives us an update of the production run of the set.

In 2009, Markus “Notch” Persson developed a sandbox building game called Minecraft. Like LEGO, in Minecraft you can build anything that you put your mind to with parts that are available to you. On December 5, 2011, Mojang submitted the project to LEGO CUUSOO. The project received overwhelming support and reached 10000 supporters in 48 hours and the rest is history. 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.
