All these Lego Minecraft sets I've purchased for my 4.5-year-old are pulling double duty. So it is with a mix of naked longing and anticipatory digital exhaustion that I bring you the biggest Lego Minecraft set yet: The Mountain Cave, in all its 2,863 pieces, 12-inch high by 20-inch wide by 11-inch deep, $249.99 glory. Take that, The Village, last year's record holder with a comparably trifling 1,600 pieces. What you get for $250 -- in addition to tendonitis -- includes a winding minecart track with a redstone (that is, battery) powered minecraft elevator (plus two minecarts), a TNT blaster, both "first night" and mountaintop shelters, a rotating spider-spawner, a "charged" Creeper and a lava burst. If you want to light up stuff like the spawner, shelter, lava or various other thing, there's a movable light brick.

Lego and Minecraft have teamed up once again to bring a huge, elaborate set to the world: the 2,863-piece Mountain Cave. The Mountain Cave, launching July 1, will replace 2016's the Village as the biggest Lego Minecraft set ever, complete with a working minecart track, waterfalls, lava, critters, and minifigures. SEE ALSO: 'Minecraft' is changing to make sure kids don't kill their birds in real life The Mountain Cave is modular and can be arranged into three different configurations to suit your Minecraft tastes. You can blast through a wall with a TNT block to get a better look inside. The Mountain Cave comes complete with a bed, a torch, and a crafting table.
