LEGO 21277 The Pickaxe Mine is a Minecraft set currently available at retail for $54.99 and is projected to retire at the end of 2026. Current new-sealed secondary market prices range from $45 to $55, with the average below MSRP at $48.

Forecast Model

This shows the set's value since release and where our forecast expects it to go.
LEGO 21277 The Pickaxe Mine is a Minecraft Minifig-scale set released in 2025, containing 530 pieces and 3 minifigures. The build centers on a mine arranged in the shape of a Minecraft pickaxe, with a working minecart track, extractable ore elements, a storage chest, and a TNT loading and blasting function. The minifigures include Alex, a Miner, and a stray spider jockey, and the set also includes a baby polar bear figure. The model combines a play-focused mine layout with a displayable pickaxe silhouette.

The Pickaxe Mine should leave shelves around 2026. From there, our forecast has its value climbing to about $66 within five years.
Collector and Investor Standing
Minecraft minifigscale collectors have a reason to notice this mine: its Miner in dark blue overalls appears in no other set. That gives it a narrow collector appeal, while cooling market activity makes the investor case look weak so far.

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Pickaxe Mine set features a dynamic minecart system with TNT-blasting action, a detailed mining environment, and includes three minifigures plus a baby polar bear figure. Its large, pickaxe-shaped structure also functions as a standout display piece.”
BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Pickaxe Mine set features a snowy biome scene beneath a giant enchanted pickaxe built with transparent magenta blocks. It includes functional minecart tracks for ore transport and TNT blasting, a stonecutter area for refining blocks, and exclusive characters like the Prospector, Alex with a golden sword, and a rare polar bear.”
Brick Fanatics
“The minifigures are another great part of the set, including Alex, a miner who bears a striking resemblance to a character from the recent movie, a Stray, as well as polar bear and spider figures. The figure selection offers enough variety for you to populate the inside and... More the outside of the mine at the same time, while everything continues to make thematic sense. This further increases both the display and play value of 21277 The Pickaxe Mine.”

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/sealed value of $1,583.
