Before Lego World there was an effort between LEGO and Mojang to develop a LEGO version of Minecraft, and apparently that effort even led to the idea of LEGO buying Mojang being floated, but it eventually fell through [1].

I think it's hard to say whether LEGO buying Mojang instead of Microsoft buying Mojang ultimately would have been a good thing or not. For what it's worth, Microsoft hasn't been the most perfect owner for Minecraft, but at least under Microsoft, Minecraft is far from being abandoned and continues to grow.
