“The Nether Lava Battle set delivers excellent value as a compact LEGO Minecraft build. It includes standout features like a detailed Strider with movable legs and a Blaze with spinning rods, complemented by Alex, a Wither Skeleton, and a small but recognizable Nether Fortress build. The lava drop play feature is simple yet effective”
 

About Minecraft Minifig-scale

The LEGO Minecraft theme is based on the video game Minecraft and a collaboration between Mojang and the LEGO Group. Sets in this theme were all based on the traditional LEGO minifigure scale. Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by 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.

Minifig-scale was introduced in 2014 and currently consists of 129 sets. As of today, 21137 The Mountain Cave is the most valuable Minifig-scale set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,824.

The Nether Lava Battle (21266) is a small LEGO Minecraft set that provides a build-and-play version of the popular video game. This versatile Minecraft activity set features popular gaming figures, fun features and endless action, making it the perfect treat for kids aged 6 and up.

Kids join Minecraft action hero Alex on a mission to remove ancient debris from a section of the Nether fortress bridge in the crimson forest. When the debris is removed, lava elements automatically cascade down, and Minecraft figures a stone-sword wielding wither skeleton and a rod-spinning blaze block Alexs escape. Kids use an iconic diamond sword to battle the mobs before fleeing on another Minecraft figure, a strider, which features posable legs and a saddle. Minecraft players know they must grab hold of some warped fungus to be able to steer the strider. For extra digital fun, the LEGO Builder app lets kids zoom in and rotate models in 3D using their device.
