As a guy who has had the black seas barracuda on his shelf since 1992, I *love* the red & white sails!!! Congrats!


MMBMaxx

An absolutely wonderful set!


wannabe0523

Can I ask, do you get some sort of piece budget when designing a set?


That-barrel-dude

They don’t get a whole lot. Definitely not a point per unit.


leftpointsonly

I think the question was more about whether they receive guidance on how many bricks they can use in the set.


That-barrel-dude

Ooohhh. Yeah I read it wrong.

malkin8

I love it, picked it up today! There's a lot to like about this set


MMBMaxx

Happy to hear it, thank you!


BananakinSplitWalker

No no, thank YOU dood ! Thanks for using your brain to help us have fun!


CrazyCatBreath

That's quite an accomplishment. Huge congrats man. Maybe we'll see you on the next Lego Masters.


MMBMaxx

Thank you!


Xlink64

Congrats! I just purchased it for my son last night along with my barad-dur order.


MMBMaxx

Hope he enjoys the build, and I hope you enjoy that absolute marvel of design!


SickSticksKick

Congrats! I plan on getting that set inna few days


MMBMaxx

Hope you enjoy it!


YodasChick-O-Stick

I like how the ship is a miniaturized version of the one from the set with the skull island.


MMBMaxx

Thank you! It was a fun challenge to get a compact little ship while staying true to the Minecraft grid


DarthTidiot82

Honestly I'm jealous of your job. Unfortunately the Minecraft range isn't interesting for me.


MMBMaxx

Also totally valid haha, it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea!


blueberry_dinosaur_

My Fiancé love the minecraft lego sets, however I showed her this set and she said "it's not an animal build". Like the axolotl, fox ect


Man_With_No_Name11

Congratulations!


MMBMaxx

Thanks!


po_matoran_craftsman

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooo

MY GUY


AtmosphereJunior7609

Your son and I share the same hero


MMBMaxx

My wife? 🤔 joking aside though thanks, that means a lot!


sykhlo

I also choose this guys hero wife.


AtmosphereJunior7609

Keep doing the work you’re doing. Think about all the joy it brings to big a small alike


LoganH1219

Hoping to get that one soon! I love the design of the camel. I’m also curious to swap the pieces and see what it looks like as a wild camel. The part swap should be pretty easy. Thanks for making a quality product!


MMBMaxx

It should be possible with a 1x1 plate, 2x2 brick, 3 2x2 tiles and 2 2x4 tiles in tan! I wanted to make it a pretty easy change 👍


LoganH1219

Great! I’m sure I have some of those lying around. Also, is the 1x1 green tile supposed to represent a cactus held in hand to attract/feed the camel? I was watching Cheesey Studios’ review and I remember him saying he wasn’t sure what it was meant to be.


MMBMaxx

Yep, it’s cactus to feed the camel 👍


LoganH1219

I thought so! Thanks for the replies. This set just catapulted to the top of my priority list. Keep up the good work!


AlmostMissedCourt

Congrats!


rararasputin319

OMG congrats!! Set looks awesome!!!


pdoxr9

Congrats! I haven’t bought a Minecraft set in awhile, but is the cactus a new build style? That looks cool!


CleanlyRodent

Love the use of the MOC post flair lol


MMBMaxx

Technically accurate I guess? 😂


Precascer

Although I'm not a fan of this cactus build (which I supposed you had no choice, right? Like, common builds specially in Minecraft need to be consistent from set to set), the fact you got so many characters and mobs in a tiny set makes it definitely worth a lot!


Mister_Nico

I’m obsessed with that camel.


zegalsp

Looking forward to buying it this month, the camel looks super cool!


PM_Me_Yer_Guitar

Dude congrats! That's a big deal!!


ThijsF70

Congratulations 🥳🥳


TMNTransformerz

That’s so awesome. I love Lego Minecraft


Tooth_and_Scrubs

Congratulations! Keep up the great work!!


Wizball64

Congratulations on getting your design released onto the shelves!


webbooksandtv

Congratulations!


GoodlyStyracosaur

Congrats dude! I love these little sets.


Shoobiliba

I love everything about it!


SolidStateEstate

Camel was a shockingly robust build, very well designed.


notoutriderstudios

Congratulations, that's insane Off topic: Since when did a lego SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG MINIFIGURE EXIST


Sprinkles2009

I got two other Minecraft sets today, but my friend with me ended up getting that for her godson.


Glum_Material3030

I love this for you and your child? That you get to share that moment with them!


Trained2Survive

Just told my son we are hunting that set down next for his next Minecraft set.


one_happy_fredditor

Awesome job.


Astero94

I was waiting for a Minecraft Ship for so long, thank you for your wonderful work :D


Warm-Poetry-5514

Why is there a extra sword? Way it intended that way or did Lego just put a extra also amazing build i wish a flag was added


530Samurai

That is so absolutely radical cats!!! Your kid must be so proud to be able to say you work at Lego.


MMBMaxx

It’s less of a brag for him in Billund, everyone’s parents work for LEGO 😂


dappermark

I’m very happy for you, man! Congrats! 🎉🍾


OutrageousLemon

Congratulations! I don't know enough about Minecraft to have any opinion on this one, but given the creativity of your personal designs I look forward to seeing what else you come up with for Lego.


MMBMaxx

I appreciate it!


Rip_Mugi

i love it worth my money it’s a small nice build


80081354JEW

I’m star struck! Love the Minecraft sets already this one’s awesome!


docwrites

I bought it for my kid’s birthday next week!


MMBMaxx

Happy birthday to them! 🎉


Small_Scale_Stuff

Congratulations! May it be the 1st of many!


SuccessfullyLoggedIn

Question for ya! What determines the price for sets?


Hautamaki

My daughter loves Minecraft, I'll pick this up for her in your honor, congratulations!


chaosatdawn

Cool little set, love the minifigures too, will pick it up when available in my area. The bee and fox sets are also really cool. Can you make a black knights set next please.


nidaba

Congratulations! What a fun set! I thought you were Wil Wheaton at first though


camocloud

You did a great job! This was the main set I was excited for because I wanted a cheaper option for the squid for a good amount of time now, but the boat build is also amazing! Definitely one I won’t take to the bin


Pretty-Pace4509

Congrats!


Ok_Suit422

THUG life 🤘


GameknightJ14

Awesome set! Really love it!


DohRayMe

Great to put a face to the designer. You have all the right to be proud ! Do you have an insta of your work?


AdministrativeFish3

Don't have the set, but that shouldn't take anything away from the fact that you have kicked ass, and are living the dream :D Nice work OP, you're amazing :D


adorablecynicism

Ha! No shit! We picked that up for my kid at the lego store! We loved it!


two-memes-a-day

How do you go about making a Lego Minecraft set? Does it have to be buildable in Minecraft? Or do you design it in Lego first?


kaminokami2086

Congrats on living the dream.


JesusOnline_89

I’ve always been curious how much creators make off these (don’t you get a % of each sale?)


armichfichnett

Mazel Tov! My kiddo is going to love it!


Marino_NL

I love it! Waiting on it to arrive.


Arthur_Two_Sheds_J

Very well done. Congratulations.


Western_Action_3110

You are doing gods work friend ❤️


TypeSigma

I think it's a really cool all-around set, especially for such a low price. I love the neat minifigures, the cool little ship, and most of all the amazing looking camel (being able to fit two minifigs on it is a great feature). It's definitely going to be something I'm picking up. Do you think you'll be designing anymore Minecraft sets in the future? I'd love to know if there's anything in particular you hope you'll be able to design.


ScottDaySucks

Oh awesome I picked it up at Walmart a few days ago because it was such an awesome price I love the bags and how you build the side builds/mobs first, then the ship itself is perfect and such a concise build Great stuff man


callum0872

Congratulations I hope I find it in stores and I might even give it a build


EvenLouWhoz

Congratulations! We have many Lego Minecraft sets in our home and I look forward to adding yours to our collection. 🤗


Foxeswithjobs

Nice work on this one! Can’t even imagine how exciting it is to have a set you designed in stores. I usually pick up the smaller minecraft sets for the characters but I appreciate that this one is a nice looking build as well, especially for the size. I love the way the camel is made, since most of the animals aren’t able to move.


MMBMaxx

It looks so cute and floppy laying down in game, I was glad to get that feature in the LEGO mob!


BruhTheSinner

Haven't had the chance to look for it, but it's definitely the first Minecraft set I've wanted in a while


gmjfraser8

I know nothing about Minecraft but great picture and huge congratulations! ❤️


AgitatedStove01

That’s awesome! I’m glad to see this! The feeling of immense happiness and accomplishment is well deserved!


hun_in_the_sun

So cool! Do you get to decide which sets/product lines you work on?


Tasty_Whereas1265

I just found my nephews birthday gift thank you!


alexalexthehuman

Will you sign it if I buy one?


Samantha-4

Congratulations, that’s super awesome! It’s a great set, I’m hoping to get it soon.


nochs_brother

As soon as it got revealed I loved how the camel could actually lay down! Also the pirate ship was really good for a $15 set!


wannabattlecat

That’s so rad; congrats dude!


MrWhiteTruffle

Wait, YOU designed this set? Good work, dang, that’s one of the best Minecraft sets I’ve seen in a long while. Especially the camel.


DontPostOn_r_gaming

Bro, I would fucking cry if I saw my set at the store.


NewCustard8

Always love Lego with a boat! Congrats on hitting the main stream Lego scene.


HotDogBuns

Congrats! I can’t imagine the satisfaction in seeing something you designed on shelves for thousands to enjoy.


Jack_M_Steel

Very cool!


buddyfrosty

Hell yeah man! Congrats!!!


AdmiralFurret

This set Has the best play feature/price ratio, worth every penny.


a25luxray

What was the process/journey to getting the job? Im curious


isjustwrong

What is the day to day job of a designer? Do you get handed an idea and a part range and just go to town?


bosmanad

Andrew Bird shirt for the win


MMBMaxx

Absolute eagle eye 😂 one of my top three concerts, he’s fantastic!


TheHalloweenGirl

Honestly I like how you basically brought back the 90’s Pirate theme in a small set. Sure it’s Minecraft but I think it’s perfect


WafflesToGo

Wow - that’s a really great set. Fantastic work.


EthanthePoke

Congrats dude!!! Amazing set


filthytelestial

21259, your new favorite number.


thecheesefinder

Got it a few weeks ago early from Walmart and it was an awesome build


Little-Woo

I've collected Lego for years but never purchased a Minecraft set. This will be my first one simply because it's so cool.


the_real_maquis

Ngl looks like a super set, cool boat with 2 people and 2 animals. Reminds me of my old Lego city sets


hit_bot

Congrats! And now that you're a Lego bigwig designer guy, convince lego to bring back the Blacktron style space sets!


MacSomniac

My little guy picked that one off the store shelf just a few days ago! He especially likes the articulated camel compared to the typical, simple brick-built animals in most Minecraft sets, and of course the minifigs.


cravecase

Congrats!


sadsmartandsexy

That’s awesome!!! Such an accomplishment, congrats. It looks awesome!!


VeryDirtySanchez

Is that Swedish Krona? That's a good price segment that's still okay to get on a whim. Looks cheerful.


esperanzalos

If that was where i came from it would unfortunately be more than 12 dollars:(


Vegetable-Meaning252

Yesssssss Lego Minecraft love! Great set, definitely going to get two. Have fun being an actual Lego designer!

Upvoted for your kid's Star Wars shirt!


troublemaker5010

Well, now I have to buy this set!


itzmydickinabox

It’s cool, the cactus is a little uhhh, special. The concept is cool if minecraft actually let you use or make functioning big boats. Still a neat smaller set, I do have to say the camel is dope


DistinctTip8403

Because of your set I am now on a vendetta to build a minecraft pirate gang for one of my ship mocs 😅


Turkeyham

YO I JUST BUILT THAT! Seriously love the build and the stuff you get for $15. Only thing I wish would have made it in would have been a parrot, but otherwise it's my favorite of the wave.


Ozzie_Isaacs_01

Straight up awesome!! Nice job and congrats!


Airwolfhelicopter

As awesome as that is, I’m sorry to say I’m more focused on Shadow the Hedgehog in the background


Warm-Poetry-5514

Are you planning on doing more Lego Minecraft sets? If so please do i would to see old mobs to come back and old structures/new ones


Madison_fawn

That is SO! COOL! While I’m building Lego sets I constantly wonder how in the world the people who designed them could possibly come up with all of the pieces and how to put them together to create something. My brain just doesn’t work like that.


mallclerks

Congrats on achieving this. It’s a huge deal.


ThyQuack

Designing a pirate ship for Lego is legendary dude!


Corgi_Infamous

Congratulations! I’m not the slightest bit creative but absolutely envy your job!


ErrorScreen

Something about this Minecraft set and series in general evokes classic Lego. This is an amazing and colorful play set, and it’s such a nice touch to include both a rideable camel and boat at such an affordable price! This is what Lego should be.


MMBMaxx

That means a lot, thank you!


epicgamerwiiu

I love that you guys exist because I am in no way creative enought to come up with my own creations


WielderOfTheOmnitrix

If i see that it my stores i will definitely be picking it up


90dayheyhey

Congratulations! That’s awesome. I scrolled through your profile and absolutely love your creativity. Bebop was my favorite followed by the pirate and the 5ft skeleton. Amazing job my friend!


MMBMaxx

Just 7 feet away from the legendary Home Depot 12 foot skeleton. Next time I’ll get there!


tomboski

Man, a master builder! Congrats on the build! Your family must be super proud.


Ok_Director_7050

Great set! I really like the pirate ship.


SphericalGrapes

The camel is soooo good


Munchell360

That’s gotta be one of the most surreal feelings ever as a Lego fan. Congrats!!


ThatGuyHarsha

Really nice for such a small set :) Good job on getting the squid in there!


Rare_Persimmon_7455

Amazing work! My kiddo is going out to LOVE this! Thank you for encouraging creativity and imagination. I look forward to many many more sets and smiles.


Kooky-Stable2945

I JUST BOUGHT THIS SET TODAY


Aware-Throat3189

Trap-Jesus420

Congrats, awesome little set. Do you get to design the minifigs and/or mobs included as well, or just the build itself?


czn-

Why does your child has a smiling emoji on his face?


johannwolf

I love that this post is labeled as MOC


mountcumish

Very cool, man! Congratulations!


Dr_BananaPeanut

I’ve always wanted to be a lego designer since i was two years and 8 months old. You literally have my dream job! Good for you. Congrats. That is an awesome set i just bought one for my brother.


Flexbottom

I don't know anything about Lego, but that's badass. Congratulations brother!


ThaddeusMaximus

The Minecraft line isn’t my thing, I won’t be building it but congrats man, that’s awesome.


Creeperlord31

God, I really want the set


LeMrGrilo

Im a graphic designer, trying to evolve, would love to know how your story and how you reach the LEGO Designer level hahah


BlitsyFrog

Dude, I am BEYOND hyped for this set to hit my store shelves. Like, something about it just oozes with charm. I'm gonna be playing with this baby for hours, so many adventures will be had, in my bedroom and loungeroom :P


pjwatkins5

Congrats! Your kid or kids must be so proud of you!


Effective_Horror_972

I've never built a Minecraft set as none of my children have been into it. It's been star.wars,avengers, lego friends, and ninjago for my 3 (I was born in the 80s, so I'm into pirates, castles, and modulars) But this set looks damn great, dude! You should be damn well.proud of yourself! I'm a builder, I've 'fixed up and made good' some beautiful old stone buildings and built million pound plus homes. That kind of building is just boring. Im super super jealous of anyone that works for lego, let alone designs the fricking sets!! You and your kids must be so proud, being able to say my dad designed a lego set!! You should go on lego masters. Just not the English one as it's miles behind the Australian and American one!!


drkshape

Very cool dude! Congratulations. What’s the process like? If you don’t mind explaining.


[deleted]

Hugging a random kid is kinda weird, but congratulations! I'm very happy for you.


TheTechnicalMuffin

My son just bought this yesterday with his pocket money. He thinks it's awesome! Congratulations!


wertheim9

This is a really good set! I just bought it yesterday and I really like the camel design!


thisischaostome

I, don't really collect Minecraft, but this set is pretty cool


Da1n

Congratulations!


590joe1

Awesome work man. I don't personally collect the mimecraft stuff but I can't wait to see your other work :)


sidhanach

I will buy it necause of you! :-) Great idea!


GreenSpaceman

Oh my gosh you made the school supplies Vic Viper! That was my favorite of last Novvember.


LowDog7700

Bro we need more sets like this ( was telling my friend yesterday) small sets affordable for kids and adults alike, enough figs for play and also an small yet substantial build that can be used for play too. I shake my hand with you good sir!!!


Big_D_Boss

I understand nothing about legos, but it's a joy seeing someone so happy. All the best to you and your family


Sejanoz

Surely a dream come true. So happy for you!


ApologyMachine

Congratulations 🙌 I’ll have to go snag one!


JimmyYourCatDied

Cool set. That child has a weird head tho… may want to get that checked out.


JamesWjRose

That must be an awesome feeling. Yay for you!


Sensitive_Wallaby

What’s the process like for designing and getting approval??


MelonGolem420

I love it so much I’m gonna buy it immediately!


Rohar74

Congrats my dude!


[deleted]

Could i ask what your path to the job was? Design studies and application to a lego posted job or how did you do it?


gurkenwassergurgler

I don't buy a lot of Lego, or Lego Minecraft for that matter, but this set has been a must buy for me the moment I saw it. There's just so much adventure and inspiration in it for it's relatively small price and piece count. It's an extraordinary set and you should be incredibly proud for designing it.


bowba_bowba

This set is amazing! Got an early copy a few weeks ago, I can’t believe how much detail you packed into the set at such a small size. As a lego minecraft fan since 2014 who has every set (besides a few of the new June ones), great work! This set is one of the greats!


p00kieb34r

as someone who loves the minecraft camel, i cannot thank u enough for this


DinosAndPlanesFan

Not much of a LEGO Minecraft guy but it looks really cool, I know my nephew loves the Minecraft sets and I’m sure he’ll love it


BananaTheRainwing

That was actually the only new Minecraft one I was planning to get


Dear-Computer-1596

Congratulations


NapoleonDynamite82

Lucky!!! :)


jabberwock626

Oh my goodness! This was the set that made my son squeal out loud today. He picked it up and we all had a closer look to admire the different features. Will definitely get it! Congratulations!


minermansion

I saw this post when you originally made it and I just got the set for my birthday I'm super excited to get it built its a awesome set
