Minecraft Lego Has to Remind Kids What Lego Is Actually for
 |
“Build your own creations”? With Lego? The hell you say?
Why, back in my day, this is how all Lego sets came. Or maybe just all the ones I got. We didn’t need the Lego to be based on a game that was probably based on Lego anyway in order to tell us what to do with them.
I know nowadays Lego is primarily seen as a medium to build pre-planned playsets based on stylized interpretations of current movies and comic books. But it’s only been a few months since The Lego Movie, and we already need to be reminded not to be President Business?
Minecraft Lego also does come with more pre-planned sets than this. All with a reminder that you can, if you choose, build something else. I await a similar disclaimer on Star Wars toys that you can enact tales other than those previously told by Lucasfilm…but only if you want to.
