LEGO has announced the upcoming release of two exciting new sets in its popular Minecraft series, set to hit the shelves on June 1, 2025. The sets, titled The Creeper (21276) and The Pickaxe Mine (21277), promise to deliver hours of imaginative play for fans of the beloved game.
The Creeper Set
The Creeper set, comprising 665 pieces, is designed for children aged 10 and older and will retail for .99. This large, posable figure stands at an impressive 21 cm (8 in.) tall, making it a striking addition to any gaming room. The set features four movable legs and a head that can tilt and turn, allowing for dynamic poses. A unique element of this set is the detachable front of the Creeper’s head, which reveals an interior space containing a first-version Creeper and a TNT element.
For those looking to enhance their building experience, the LEGO Builder app offers an interactive platform where users can zoom in, rotate their models in 3D, and track their progress. This set not only serves as a fun building experience but also as a decorative piece, making it an ideal gift for young Minecraft enthusiasts.
The Pickaxe Mine Set
On the other hand, The Pickaxe Mine set (21277) contains 530 pieces and is aimed at children aged 8 and above, priced at .99. This interactive building toy is packed with adventure and creativity, featuring three minifigures: Alex, a Miner, and a stray spider jockey, along with a baby polar bear figure at the mine’s surface.
In this set, kids can extract Minecraft ore from the mine, load it into a minecart, and transport it along a track to store it in a chest. The cart can even be filled with TNT and launched into a rock wall, adding an explosive twist to the mining experience. Once the day’s adventures are over, the Pickaxe Mine transforms into a captivating display piece. Like the Creeper set, it also integrates with the LEGO Builder app for a more engaging building journey.
