In 2017 LEGO released 9 Minecraft sets. The largest Minecraft set from 2017 was
21137 The Mountain Cave with a piece count of 2863 and a retail price of $249.99. The current estimated value of all these Minecraft sets from this year is about $2,952.89 which represents a 421.9% growth.
The LEGO Minecraft theme is based on the video game Minecraft and a collaboration between Mojang and the LEGO Group. Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by Swedish programmer Notch (Markus Persson) and later developed and published by Mojang / Microsoft. The official release occurred in 2013 with the first set, Minecraft: Micro World: The Forest, released under LEGO Ideas and was created by Mojang through the LEGO CUUSOO program in 2012. At MineCon 2013, LEGO announced brand new minifigure-scale Minecraft sets.
2017 LEGO Sets
2017 was a big year for the LEGO movies with the release of The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. With these films LEGO gave us a number of new sets and themes around these movies, with many of them already being significant investments for collectors. We also saw a number of new themes released that year including BrickHeadz, DC Super Hero Girls, Boost and of course sets for The LEGO Batman and The LEGO Ninjago movies. However, sadly as it is LEGo did retire the much beloved BIONICLE and Mixels themes as well as the short-lived The Angry Birds Movie theme.
