Investment Grade
⏳ Active
The Sword Outpost is a mid-sized Minecraft set with a reasonable piece count and a popular theme. Its investment potential is moderate; while Minecraft remains a strong license, its widespread availability may limit significant appreciation. The set's value will likely track with the overall popularity of LEGO Minecraft and its retirement status. Keep an eye on post-retirement prices, especially if any minifigures become exclusive or highly sought after.

📖 About This Set

Give a Minecraft® player aged 8 and up an iconic diamond sword – on a giant scale! LEGO® Minecraft The Sword Outpost (21244) uses the precious weapon as the design for a supercool base where kids can build a chill-out zone and take part in explosive battles.

Play and display model of a diamond sword
Kids build a giant diamond sword base into the side of a mountain and defend it against attacks by hostile mobs. The base includes a table, cookie and a jukebox on which they can ‘play’ a record. Outside, Sentinel Soldier and Guardian Warrior figures stand guard. Further firepower is provided by 2 shooters located at the front of the base. Hostile mobs include a Creeper™ and a skeleton. Friendly mobs include a pig and an allay, which features foil wings. A lever at the bottom of the tower triggers an explosion that collapses part of the structure. For added digital fun, the LEGO Builder app features intuitive zoom and rotate tools that let kids visualize their model as they build.
