In 2019 LEGO released 9 Minecraft sets across 2 subthemes. The largest Minecraft set from 2019 was
21155 The Creeper Mine with a piece count of 834 and a retail price of $79.99.

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.

There were a number of events in 2019 that helped shaped the investment market for LEGO. Probably the most important event is that LEGO Star Wars celebrated its 20th anniversary. In addition, LEGO released new themes such as Hidden Side, Overwatch and a set based on the Netflix series Stranger Things. Sadly the Nexo Knights and Elves themes were discontinued in 2019.
