Lego Minecraft The Farm Playset

Steve got up early, grabbed a shovel and with the first rays of sun, went to check on his crop.

    Most of the wheat was ripe, but some were still green. He picked a carrot, looked to the side and had a nice surprise to see how much his pumpkin had grown in recent days.

    When harvesting wheat to take his shelter, he noticed he was being followed by the cow and the sheep. It was then that Steve saw the fence gate was open!

    He picked up a sheaf of wheat and attracted the cow and the sheep to the pen, but he felt a sudden pain. He had been shot with an arrow! It could have been a skeleton, but Steve knew skeletons did not appear during the day.

    He immediately dropped the carrot, wheat and shovel on the ground, and searched for the origin of the arrow.

    And there it was, under a eucalyptus tree, a skeleton armed  with bow and arrow.

    Surely this enemy had appeared overnight and now sheltered from the sun under the shade of eucalyptus.

    Steve took advantage of the fact that the skeleton could not follow him and ran toward the shelter ...

The short story above is just one example of the many stories that your children can create with this Lego Minecraft The Farm playset. This set comes with our well-known friend Steve, a "wood" shovel for Steve, one Skeleton (and a bow), one Cow, one Sheep, a treasure chest, a pumpkin head, a pair of torches, one crafting table, green and ripe wheat, carrots, bread, and pieces to assemble sugar canes, a eucalyptus tree, a fence with hinged door and translucent and opaque blue pieces to build the water or maybe a small waterfall. This set have a total of 262 pieces, a little more than the whole Lego Minecraft The Cave Playset.

And by the way, Lego Minecraft The Farm is a perfect complement to The Cave Playset. Personally, I recommend that if possible, you start with The Cave and then buy The Farm. Incidentally, all sets of Lego Minecraft combine seamlessly, and all together can form a big, "off screen" Minecraft world,  as if they were a single toy! Another set that complements The Farm very well  is Lego Minecraft The First Night. With these three sets, you can follow the natural order of the game: Steve builds a shelter, and then go out to explore a cave and start a plantation. Then you can proceed to more complex sets, like The Dungeon or The Snow Hideout.

Lego Minecraft The Farm Playset - Review

As with all Lego boxes, this set comes with a booklet showing different ways to build the scenario. But surely, the most interesting way to play, as in a legit game of Minecraft, is to use the Lego pieces to create your own scenarios.

Of course, the set does not come with as many pieces as we would like. It is not possible, for example, to build a dirt shelter for Steve. But I believe this is precisely the purpose of this series: launch the sets with the minimum pieces needed to assemble the proposed scenario. Even because, the more pieces int the box, the higher the price.

Surely it would be nice if this set came with a pig or at least a chicken. And potatoes! It would be the perfect farm!


But nevertheless, I quite recommend the product, it is one of the most versatile sets of the series and it comes with a nice variety of characters (Steve, Skeleton, Cow and Sheep).


Another cool detail is that the pumpkin can be used as a helmet, just like in the game!
