LEGO Minecraft are LEGO-themed sets based on Minecraft. Currently, there are fourteen sets available. One Minecraft block is represented as a 1×1 plate with a tile on top. LEGO states that this is not a perfect cube, but it is "the best approximation at the chosen scale." There are two types of sets - the "Micro World" sets and the normal LEGO sets. The "Micro World" sets contain modules which are 12×12, and may come with several of these modules. Since then the "Micro World" Sets have been discontinued. The Micro World set centers around the Player (Steve) and one of the game's antagonists, a Creeper. The scene is depicted in the Overworld and depicts a few biomes, including a mountain, caves, forest and grassland. The Village features structures in the village, and an abandoned mineshaft. It includes blocks for constructing houses, along with the Pig, Villager, and Zombie figures. The Nether is a stylised depiction of the Nether, and contains a lava sea, a lava stream flowing down a hill, Nether Fortress, and a Nether Portal to connect to the Overworld.
It also includes two Ghasts and a Zombie Pigman. The End is a stylised depiction of the End, and contains the Ender Dragon, six obsidian pillars with ender crystals on top of them, an exit end portal and endermen. The normal LEGO Minecraft sets feature different parts of Minecraft. All the sets include Steve or Alex and at least one mob. The Cave features a cave in Minecraft with different ores and mobs. The Farm features a normal farm in with one cow and one sheep and a skeleton. It includes a crop farm too. The First Night features a basic house in Minecraft and a farm with a pig and a Creeper. Mojang had started a project on the LEGO CUUSOO program, which requires 10,000 signatures for a project to be approved. With the strong support of the Minecraft community, the 10,000 signature objective was achieved in three days,[6] and the development of the LEGO Minecraft set commenced after Lego reviewed the project. Mojang will donate 1% of the proceeds to charity.[6] The first set was subsequently released June 1, 2012.
The second set The Village and the third The Nether were announced at Comic-Con 2013.[3] The fourth set "The End" was announced through a teaser on 8 March[8] followed by a reveal on 14 March on the LEGO Minecraft Facebook page. On the 2nd November 2013, during Minecon, it was announced that The Lego Group would be creating a fully fledged mini-figure scale theme. It is the first time Lego will be working with fans to create the new series of sets, they call this the co-build project. Six more sets were released on 15 November, 2014. These were the first sets that did not follow the "Micro World" design of the previous sets. Another four sets were unveiled at the 2015 London Toy Fair.[4] These sets are expected to be released in August 2015.

Just like the 2015 catalog revealing a bit about Avengers: Age of Ultron, Lego‘s latest teasers show a great deal of what to expect from the upcoming cinematic adventure, Captain America: Civil War.
These sets are not to be confused with the other recently announced Marvel Super Hero sets, which included the first ever Captain Marvel and Thanos mini figures, though those are also due out in early 2016 and do make an appearance in the catalog. While there have been countless Lego sets based on the Marvel movies (and countless others) that haven’t panned out with an exact 1:1 representation to the movie, the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets were fairly spot on. That’s what makes these new Civil War sets so interesting. Each shares at least a little bit in common with some of the teasers and trailers we’ve seen so far, though there are still some surprises that should make Marvel fans excited if they do work out. With that in mind, consider that these toy sets might have some spoiler elements. If you do not want anything from Captain America: Civil War spoiled, avert your eyes starting… now. Did you look away? This is your last chance, kids. First, we have two of the smaller sets, Crossbones’ Hazard Heist and Black Panther Pursuit.
Neither has a piece count available but given that the Black Panther Pursuit has two vehicles, it’s easy to see that will likely be the mid-range set for Civil War, with Crossbones’ Heist being the cheapest option. Black Widow appears here with her now signature cycle and her shorter haircut, which is curious given that she’s got longer hair in the film. Falcon’s also here showing off his new duds in the battle against Crossbones. It’s a little hard to tell what that little thing flying next to Falcon is, but given that we know Crossbones is in the film, this sequence does make some sense. If we’re borrowing from the Age of Ultron line for inspiration, it’s possible the fight against Crossbones is what will open Civil War, much like the raid against HYDRA’s base in AOU. Now, Black Panther Pursuit is an interesting set because again, it’s another Marvel Super Heroes kit with a jet and a motorcycle. These folks love their jets. Though there’s been no indication a chase of this sort would happen in the upcoming film, we have seen Bucky riding off through some crowded streets on a motorcycle with some folks in pursuit.
Will Civil War rip AOU off that completely with the jet/motorcycle chase? Black Panther getting his first figure and a vehicle to boot is a nice way to introduce him to the Lego universe though. I’m a bit disappointed Captain America’s figure is the same one from the Age of Ultron sets. He’s clearly got a new uniform in Civil War, and just leaving the figure the same is kind of a cheap out considering how many other things Lego reuses elsewhere. Now, the Super Hero Airport Battle is the set that bears the most promise. Not only do we get the first Agent 13 figure, but we also get two Ant-Man figures. There’s a microfigure of Ant-Man to show off his shrunken state, and there’s an over-sized one to show him in his super-sized state. Given that this figure is clearly at least 2-3 times the size of a standard figure, that means we might very well see Ant-Man take a step towards his Giant Man persona in Civil War. That’s a fairly big deal, given that he only just learned how to use his powers/suit correctly by the end of Ant-Man, and showcasing new powers like this would make him a much more formidable foe for the pro-registration crowd.
