Lego has unveiled a new set that caters to the nostalgia and creativity of adult fans of Minecraft. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the beloved game, Lego introduces The Crafting Table, a sophisticated 1,195-piece set designed for builders aged 18 and up. This set, which retails for $89.99 in the US, is a tribute to the enduring popularity of Minecraft and is set to be released on August 1st.
The Crafting Table is not just a model; it’s an interactive diorama that brings to life various elements from the Minecraft universe. It features 12 distinct biomes, including the Plains with a village, the Taiga with a dripstone cave, and the Cherry Grove with an abandoned mineshaft, providing a rich and immersive building experience.
Included in the set are eight microfigures, such as the iconic Steve, Alex, a skeleton, a Creeper, and a pig, allowing fans to populate their dioramas with characters from the game. Additionally, the set includes five mini-builds and stickers with phrases from the game, adding an extra layer of detail and engagement for the builder.
Once assembled, The Crafting Table measures 5.5 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, making it a compact yet detailed display piece. This set is a part of Lego’s adult-oriented collection, which includes other sophisticated builds that appeal to the interests and skill levels of adult Lego enthusiasts.
Lego’s new adult product strategy focuses on creating sets that offer a relaxing and absorbing building process, with sleek designs that highlight the model itself. The Crafting Table is a perfect example of this approach, offering a building experience that is both challenging and rewarding.
For Lego insiders, there’s an added bonus of 585 points when picking up The Crafting Table, adding value to the purchase for dedicated collectors. The set will also be available internationally, with prices adjusted for markets in Australia, the UK, the EU, Canada, and Singapore.
The Crafting Table set is a significant addition to Lego’s offerings for adult fans, combining the joy of Lego building with the adventurous spirit of Minecraft. It’s a set that promises to deliver both a nostalgic trip down memory lane and a satisfying creative challenge.
