Val-E Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Hoth Bricks are saying this is going to be a 2017 D2C exclusive and the largest Minecraft set so far. Probably a 2H release. http://www.hothbricks.com/lego-minecraft-teasing-plus-gros-set-de-gamme/ Bricksets have put up the box details and it is a big boy. 58x48x17 cm 5kg ie Death Star size!

HandyHand Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I guess Lego Minecraft sells better than we knew, and good enough for Lego to take the plunge and produce a big expensive Minecraft set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the smaller sets do well, already out of Ender Dragons and the Mine did well over the last 2 Christmases. Don´t think The Village is a super seller though and have doubts about these massive Ninjago and Minecraft playsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 A charged Creeper and a little bat, neat. There must be many play features to go with the ton of parts. I imagine the beefy instructions to have plenty of inspirational side builds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Looks like it's easily 2500-3000 pieces. I'm expecting a full Mine on the back, judging from the tracks and the Mine shaft supports on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Reminder of box stats: Dimensions 58.2 x 48 x 17 cm (22.9 x 18.9 x 6.7 in) Weight 5.09Kg (11.21 lb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) I wonder how it looks from behind. It still does not look anything special, just a way oversized simple play set. Edited May 9, 2017 by inversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight of 10188 (no weight on BL yet for 75159) is 8kg, for 4000 bricks. So 5kg is 5/8 * 4000 = 2500 pieces. Right what I estimated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right what I estimated but the minecraft blocks are tad bigger than usual brick from SW themed sets. That's why it's hard to estimate the amount comparing straight those two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 if the set is 10lbs, it should mean a lot of bricks and plates. 1 hour ago, Val-E said: Reminder of box stats: Dimensions 58.2 x 48 x 17 cm (22.9 x 18.9 x 6.7 in) Weight 5.09Kg (11.21 lb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 That bat is a cool little build - two minifig neck-brackets mounted on a 1x1 brick with studs on 4 sides, sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
