Lego Minecraft 2023, leaks, rumors and discussion

[MaxHeadroom]

Probably the least interesting set based on the title so hopefully others show up soon. Looks nice enough though. We never got around to a 2024 thread did we? 

Also cool to see a husk finally return

The Ender Dragon now has a moulded head! I wonder if there are two copies in the set, one for the dragon itself, and one for the End ship  The geode looks cool too, and the usage of the crystal piece in satin trans-purplr is very clever

[Snake Slime]

It's a shame lego didn't wait a little longer for their wolf-centric "giant mob" set so they could include the new wolf variants. I greatly look forward to collecting them when lego does make them.

The husk's new face print is great, but I think the new torso has a few too many random dark pixels. I'll probably use new head on old torso. That geode is probably my favorite set of the wave so far. 

Usually a molded part would mean improved accuracy, but I don't like the lack of mouth articulation, missing nostrils, and the unprinted horns compared to the brick built ender dragon heads.

A new picture of the End ship has has surfaced in the usual place! It comes with two dragon heads

[BrickBob Studpants]

Pictures of all the sets are out! Nice to see tamed and untamed wolves in the same set and the sniffers look really cool  The new skins are great to see, as always!

Since I’m posting this, I’m just thinking there won’t be a 2024 fourm, we need better organization here…

So I went to Walmart today and found the summer sets out in the wild!

i was able to get the cherry blossom garden and built it! It’s a very nice set, somewhat feels like a cheese studios moc in the best way possible, also TRANSPARENT BLUE 2X4 PLATES

I’m going to have to replace all my water made of 1x2s now. Although assuming these are 0.08 on PAB or even 0.10 it’ll still probably be around the same price replace all of those and finish my MOC as it would’ve been if I kept buying 1x2s for 0.07

The listings for the Summer '24 sets on Lego.com show a release date of June 1 for the U.S.  They aren't available for pre-order though, so maybe it's an error.

Crafting Table revealed. Looks fun, though personally not something I would get. Can anyone tell what the splash text tiles say? I can only make out the logo and the create new world one.

One of them appears to be the somewhat obvious statement "You are the Player!", but that seems like a very weird splash text to choose.

To me it looks like

'now in 3D!'

'Please All the Biomes' ( cheeky biome vote reference)

'Finally complete '

' You are the the Player'

Sady no

'Also try Terraria'  I never really got into terraria but its nice when so called competitors are nice to each other  Lego would never say also try mega blocks.

This is a very nice throwback to the first couple of MC sets  Looks even better than I imagined, and the new micromobs are just adorable!

[Space Coyote]

I'll probably skip the crafting table but the other sets look great, especially Badlands Mineshaft. I never got a Minecraft set but my wife, son and I have loved the game for years and we got a few cheap sets recently. Last year's Swamp Adventure showed me how cool these sets can be, getting it for 6 bucks was a nice bonus.

I'm interested in the pirate set but I really think the Badlands set is the way to go if you don't have much yet, and the rail system seems easy to expand on. I hope it doesn't sell out before I can save up the cash but these sets stay on the shelf in my area for quite a while so I'm not too worried.

If anyone has the Badlands Mineshaft please tell me how it is!

Apologies for the double post but I just wanted to talk about 21259 Pirate Ship Voyage. I haven't been able to find one in my area for weeks, it's the only Minecraft set that's been consistently sold out, but I managed to get the last one from a Wal Mart today. Awesome set for 15 bucks, but my main question is, did you get 1 or 2 Iron Swords with it? The book lists only 1 but we got 2.

I also had two copies, which was the case for another set in that wave as well. It seems like the sword is now the second Minecraft weapon to have been granted "automatic replacement part" status, after the trident  At least the iron sword, that is. The diamond one in the End Ship set was not accompanied by a replacement part

Thanks for the quick reply! It was lucky for us since we just got started with this theme. Yeah the armory from earlier in the year only came with 1 diamond sword but I can't complain since it also came with a netherite one.

My favorite thing about the end ship is that awesome player skin with the elytra, they did a great job with that set overall though. I may not get that one since 80 is a bit steep for me now but maybe later!

According to Fateful on IG, five sets are coming in January 2025.

Thanks for the heads up, I bet these will feature some of the new mobs, I'd like to see a Trial Dungeon set as well. It seems like they do a good job representing the new content updates in a semi-timely manner.

We‘ll get an unexpected celebratory set in October, namely 21281 Baby Pig‘s Birthday Celebration! Quite a surprise to see the buildable figures return, but a welcome one

[Agent Kallus]

Baby Pig's birthday  hip hip hooray for baby pig.

Nice that's it's perfectly to scale with the maxifigs they made before. I still have my old maxifig pig built, the Steve I used for parts but the pig was too precious to destroy.

That's a very cute set! Indeed, they are in the same scale as the discontinued buildable figures. The Creeper (who sadly doesn't have a baby form) and baby Zombie are almost the same as before (but now there is TNT in Creeper's head). The baby mobs are very nice and, IMHO, will make fine additions to any Minecraft AFOL collection.

But I still don't get why you can separate the candle cake into three separate pieces, though 

[Murdoch17]

I have but one question to ask: Is the baby pig's name Peppa? 

[BrickBob Studpants]

We finally got a set list for the January wave, courtesy of @Lego_Minecraft_Goat:

• 21266 Nether Portal Battle (99 pcs, $9.99)
• 21267 The Village Visit (105 pcs, $14.99)
• 21268 Baby Pig House (238 pcs, $19.99)
• 21269 Mine Adventure (247 pcs, $29.99)
• 21270 Mushroom House (500 pcs, $39.99)

21271-21280 and 21282 come later, either in March and/or 2HY. If there are sets in March, there‘s a non-0 chance they‘re movie tie-ins!
 

The January wave doesn‘t exactly sound spectacular with mostly remakes, but there‘s potential for some new mobs at least. Fingers crossed for a new villager type in 21267!

Maybe the Nether Portal Battle finally introduces Zombiefied Piglins and/or Zoglins  It has “battle” in the name, so we know there‘s at least one hostile mob included. Fingers crossed!

[Agent Kallus]

I wonder if there'll be any sets made specifically for the movie? Not sure it's going to be good though  but 

[CloneCommando99]

Will there be sets based off the movie? And if so will we finally get a Lego Jack Black face-print?!!
