If there’s a combination building set and video game that really makes sense, it’s LEGO Minecraft. Bones and sandbox – these two words describe both the Danish form and the Swedish game. We would find more similarities between the two brands. Parents encourage spending time in these worlds, and adults are not ashamed to spend the evenings with one or the other. It’s about relaxation, creative enjoyment and fun for young and old. Therefore, it is only logical that these two worlds merged some time ago.
There are many LEGO Minecraft sets available today. You can look into different biomes and experience dozens of stories without even turning on your computer or console. I was able to try out three construction sets that took me to the depths of the ocean, to a farm and to a dilapidated fortress with a giant iron golem.
Giant golem protecting the fortress
I couldn’t resist, and the largest of the three sets was the first to fall into my hands. Not to mention, the Iron Golem Fortress looks exquisite and original. As you can see from the LEGO set portfolio, individual sets are inspired by the buildings and situations in Minecraft, but certainly don’t copy them. It’s more about something you could build yourself rather than the building itself being created somewhere like that. The same applies to the aforementioned fortress. It seamlessly connects to the jungle ruins through overgrown walls of vines. He adds to them the likeness of a giant iron golem.
The set of over 800 blocks will guide you through the construction of the fortress itself. It extends mostly to the sides, where we find two turrets. Each has a secondary (or rather primary) function, which I will talk about later. In the middle we find a passage with a basement floor and a small base with a chest.
There is also a golem sitting above the middle part. His body is practically the second floor of the tower, and his head is a smaller room. But from the front and side the golem looks completely normal. This creates a huge variety in gameplay. The golem can remain part of the fortress, and you can play with a three-story structure. Or the side turrets can be detached and used as the legs of a separate giant golem. You can move his arms freely, just like he uses them in the golem game. Thus, the iconic attack of this mob was transferred to the kit.
Another option for the arrangement of elements is their free laying. As a result, you will receive the fortress itself and two small rooms. There are already enough scenarios to entertain yourself or your children for a long time.
I would also like to note the visual component of this kit. The golem itself looks amazing and its inclusion in the fortress warrants display on a shelf. Details such as different colored bricks, holes in the body, scratches and vines only add depth and believability. This set is simply beautiful to look at.
Pumpkin season has begun
This time you don’t have to go to Starbucks for pumpkin coffee. You can also get into the Halloween spirit with the aptly named Pumpkin Farm set. This is a simple pumpkin-shaped building that is especially eye-catching due to its orange color. A smaller set of 257 blocks allows you to build a cute house in the middle of a swamp. Although I was momentarily unsure that the structure was in the jungle due to the tall, overgrown tree, the ubiquitous water lilies and water lilies eventually made the location clear.
In particular, I consider bright orange to be the dominant color of the entire set. Barachek attracts attention from afar and lags a little behind the refined surroundings. Here we find a small wall, a piece of swamp, a witch throwing potions and of course the pumpkins themselves. They are both located directly on the small farm and are also on display and mostly carved out. A pleasant surprise is a rocking boat with a box so you don’t get your feet wet in shallow water.
In the house itself we can find a workbench or perhaps a bed. Thanks to the removable roof and completely free rear section, you can easily reach the interior even with large hands. The side parts can be easily separated and rearranged, as well as connected to other sets. Thus, the game possibilities are endless.
Hold your breath
Axolotls are completely new creatures to me. Unfortunately, I missed the oceans update a bit and never explored the underwater depths. Luckily, this was made up for by the Axolotl House set, where I was able to try out the underwater construction of a cute pink house. Sunken in sand and having six gills. (I had to google what it is), the home of these underwater amphibians is easy to recognize. If you’re not afraid of water or drowning, this set will take you to the deep end where you’ll encounter plenty of cool creatures and a few enemies.
Axolotls can be collected in a bucket in Minecraft, which is what this set hints at. Otherwise, you’ll find two amazingly detailed pieces of these creatures. Once again, the semi-open rack plays a major role in representing your secure storage. This time you won’t need a door; you can, for example, fly through the ceiling.
I was intrigued by the treasure hidden discreetly in the sand. Apart from playing with the house, you can also search for pirate loot full of gold and other resources. A cute dolphin and a dangerous drowning man will keep you company. Due to the predominance of pink and cute fish, I would recommend this set more for girls.
All three sets offer something that LEGO excels at. It’s about playfulness and imagination. The Iron Golem Fortress is a great source of inspiration for building in Minecraft, and its detailed design is close to a showpiece. The modular approach means that the set will play a central role in a number of your scenarios. Small sets will delight young players and children in general. In particular, they remind us that a house does not have to be built only from stone and wood. Overall, these LEGO Minecraft sets are some of the best you can get.
