Minecraft fans will have plenty to celebrate as LEGO today announced 21128 The Village, a massive new UCS-esque Minecraft set!
The Village weighs in at a very even 1,600 pieces and will cost US$199.99 in the US. The Australian price is unknown at this time, but we should fine out pretty soon. The Australian price for 21128 The Village is AU$350 as confirmed by the product page on LEGO.com.
Keep an eye out on the product pages if you plan on buying the set on Day One:
- 21128 The Village (US)
- 21128 The Village (AUS)
The general release date for this set is 1 June 2016 but LEGO VIP members will get early access and be able to purchase it on 18 May.
This is the biggest Minecraft set ever produced, which is great news since Minecraft is one of LEGO’s bestselling themes and has legions of fans worldwide.
The Village comes with 4 minifigures – : Steve, Alex, zombie and a zombie villager, plus a Creeper™, enderman, pig, baby pig, iron golem and 2 villagers (a farmer and a librarian)
The Village boasts a sprawling complex that includes rainforest, snow and desert biomes in addition to structures such as a watchtower, library, blacksmith, butcher and a marketplace.
Being a LEGO Minecraft set, you can be sure that there’ll be plenty of ways to customise the look and layout of The Village, which will no doubt promise tons of fun and playability.
LEGO Minecraft is one of the themes that I’m really unfamiliar with as I’ve never played the game but the scale of this set does look like a lot of fun. I can definitely see this set selling like hotcakes, all the way up to Christmas. Looks like LEGO has yet another winner on their hands with the LEGO Minecraft Village.
I totally get the appeal of the game and I really like how this set looks. If given the opportunity, I’d love to give this set a go. I can already spy some really fascinating parts such as the brown spiky plant thing that you can see in the Well photo.
So there you have 21128 the Village! What do you think of the set?
Warmongurl says
Nice to see Lego expanding UCS-ish sets to other themes.
Jay says
Can’t wait for another huge Marvel set to replace the Helicarrier!
starwarsfolder12 (MOBILE) says
Avengers Tower! Avengers Tower! Avengers Tower! …please? 🙂
Warmongurl says
Have either of you built the Helicarrier? I don’t collect Marvel, but I admit I was very tempted when I say that set….. It’d make an awesome display piece!
Jay says
I have it but I haven’t built mine yet. I don’t have space to display it!
Jay says
Ah, I don’t think they ever will since they already released an actual tower. . I’d love a UCS-scale X-Men Blackbird. It will never happen but I can dream!
Matt Merrill says
My son would flip over this, although he may have to wait until it goes on clearance at our local Wal-Mart!
Jay says
Nice! Man, always so jealous every time I read about Walmart clearance deals!
Mark says
I’ve never been a fan of Minecraft but that price, ouch! At $0.125 USD/piece for such a large set; that’s even worse value than large Star Wars licenced sets. What’s the Aussie price going to be? $350? For a box of essentially very common pieces, no thanks.
Jay says
Yeah, but there are quite a lot of nice colours like all those nougat bricks. Also, unlike most other large sets, it seems like most of the pieces are larger than usual to give it that blocks Minecraft aesthetic.
I doubt I’ll be that expensive in Australia. I’m guessing $300 – $330… But with our plummeting exchange rate, i could see it at $350. Good thing is that you could probably get it on discount when it hits retailers here!
Mark says
Good points Jay.
Jay says
Ah you know what, I take it back. AU$350 is a bit steep. That’s more expensive than the UCS Slave 1 or UCS Tie Fighter.
Mark says
Lol. Even I wasn’t honestly expecting that! Where our dollar is heading you will be much better off waiting for it to become available from Barnes & Noble or another US e-tailer that will ship to Oz.
anthony says
wow, what a great looking set.
Jay says
Yeah, the vastness of the set and all the little structures makes it look really good on display. Keen to see it in the flesh soon!
starwarsfolder12 says
Awesome! Ha ha! I play Minecraft every now and then, hope I can get this set someday!
Jay says
Very nice! Best start saving now!
Duncan says
I’m starting now.
It just may take a few years….
Duncan says
You’ve never played Minecraft !?!?!
I want the set, the price tag is a killer.
I may save up for the rest of the year to be able to afford it.
Jay says
Haha no! I seldom have time for computer games and prefer competitive games like Dota2 or CSGO!
Yeah, price tag is a little dear but for what you get, it seems like a good price.
Duncan says
You can play competitively in Minecraft, join a server like Michelle’s of Hypixel
Duncan says
Mineplex no Mitchell’s, dang autocheck.
