The Badlands Mineshaft (21263) toy for 8-plus-year-old boys and girls is a hands-on mining set for Minecraft players. This versatile building toy features popular Minecraft mob characters for kids who enjoy adventure toys and LEGO Minecraft sets. With this Minecraft toy, kids join the Badlands Explorer in an abandoned mine in the Badlands biome, where they place TNT among the stones and operate an explode function to reveal copper, gold, Redstone and amethyst crystals. They load up a minecart and head down the track to exit the mine. From there, they travel by donkey (complete with large saddlebags) to the Explorer’s base, with its bed and crafting equipment. Hostile mobs that must be battled along the way include a LEGO Minecraft cave spider, Creeper figure, husk and 2 slimes. For added digital fun, builders can zoom in, rotate models in 3D and track their progress using the fun, intuitive LEGO Builder app. LEGO Minecraft building toy sets let fans build unique structures and scenes to play out fun and exciting stories from the iconic video game. This creative toy is great for independent play and makes a fun Minecraft-themed birthday gift for 8-plus-year-old boys and girls.
