The Lego Cuusoo Beta is helping bring some great Lego ideas to light, but none more geeky, educational and clever than the idea of bringing the 8-bit animated goodness of Minecraft to Lego.

A Cuusoo user, 'koalaexpert,' has already hit the 3,000+ support mark with his request and beta modelling of what Lego would look like if it created a series based on the extremely popular web-based game, Minecraft. It is really a perfect fit, the 8-bit graphics lend themselves so well to Lego construction and recreation. There are some great example builds of Lego Minecraft at the Cuusoo page. Of course, there would be a whole heap of franchising discussions and legal mumbo jumbo to actually get this concept off the ground, but it has to start somewhere. I'm sure there are some of you diving for the Lego bucket now looking for some grey and brown bricks to begin experimenting with.

And, of course this has sparked a wave of activity. Including the idea from another user for Minecraft Lego bricks. So, is Lego and Minecraft another perfect geek match? The likelihood of this commercializing is small, but I think the Adult Fans of Lego community and a host of others may just start building their own Lego sub genre. So, keep an eye out for any great Lego Minecraft mash ups online and let GeekDad know about them.
