Product Description

The LEGO Minecraft The Badlands Mineshaft (21263) is a versatile building toy that captures the essence of a mine in the Badlands biome. The set includes a variety of elements and play features that Minecraft fans will recognize and love.

The central feature is an abandoned mineshaft with a working minecart and a track. Kids can load up the minecart with precious ores they "mine" from the walls of the cave. A unique play feature is the hand-operated explosion function, where players can place TNT to blast open a section of stone and reveal hidden resources, including copper, gold, redstone, and amethyst crystals.

The set also includes a small explorer's base with a bed and crafting equipment, allowing for a place to rest and prepare for more adventures. The set comes with a great selection of characters, including the Badlands Explorer, a Creeper, a cave spider, a husk, a baby rabbit, a donkey with saddlebags, two slimes, and a bat. This variety of figures allows for imaginative and action-packed play, where you can battle hostile mobs and explore the mine.

Useful Guide

• Building: The set comes with traditional paper instructions. You can also use the LEGO Builder app, which provides 3D digital instructions, allowing you to rotate, zoom, and save your progress. This is an excellent tool for younger builders who might need a bit of extra help visualizing the steps.

• Interchangeability: Like other LEGO Minecraft sets, The Badlands Mineshaft is designed to be compatible with and connect to other sets in the theme. This allows you to expand your LEGO Minecraft world and create even larger, more complex scenes and adventures.

• Play Features: Remember to use the key play functions:

  • Explosion Feature: Use the lever to trigger the TNT explosion and reveal the different ore blocks.

  • Minecart: Race the minecart along the track.

  • Donkey: Use the donkey with its saddlebags to transport mined ore back to the explorer's base.

• Display: The completed model is not only great for play but also makes for an excellent display piece. The varied terrain and multiple characters make for a dynamic scene that looks great on a shelf.

• Character Details: Pay attention to the details on the minifigures. The bat, for example, has wings that can be folded up so it can hang upside down, just like in the game.
