LEGO Minecraft Armadillo Mine Expedition 21269 – Build, Explore & Imagine for Kids 8+

Explore a rugged Minecraft adventure in a compact, hands-on set

The LEGO Minecraft Armadillo Mine Expedition (21269) invites kids ages 8 and up to blend tactile building with the familiar Minecraft universe. This 247-piece set centers on a savanna scene built from earthy bricks, where creativity takes the lead and every connection invites a new story. The mix of green, tan, and stone tones helps the terrain feel real as little hands click bricks into place and bring the landscape to life.

What’s inside and what you can build

• Four action-ready figures include a cave spider, a wolf, and two armadillos that contribute to crafting wolf armor with their distinctive scutes.
• A mine feature with a lever-controlled TNT function that dramatically blasts away terrain to reveal hidden ore, adding an element of surprise to play.
• A flowing river and a lava fall along the mine’s edge to spark dramatic storytelling and exploration.
• 247 pieces in total, designed to be rearranged into new layouts for fresh adventures.
• Companion digital fun via the LEGO Builder app, which lets kids zoom, rotate, and inspect the model in 3D for added depth.
• Compact dimensions when built, measuring over 5.5 in. (15 cm) high, 7.5 in. (20 cm) wide, and 4.5 in. (12 cm) deep.
