Description

A village under siege

The Illager Raid is built around one of Minecraft's most recognisable situations: hostile illagers attacking a village. Its 562 pieces form a small scene of building sections, defences and landscape elements that can be set up as one connected diorama or split into separate pieces. The 174 unique parts provide enough variety to render both buildings and smaller details, such as fences, torches and farmed patches, convincingly. For fans who prefer building whole scenes rather than single vehicles, this set offers plenty of scope.

Five minifigures for two sides

With five minifigures, this set can populate both sides of the conflict: village defenders on one side and attacking illagers on the other. That makes role-play scenes noticeably livelier than in sets with only one or two figures, because both parties in a story can actually be represented. For children keen on re-enacting the game's storyline, that split is a clear advantage over smaller Minecraft sets.

Earthy colours and the parts list

The tan, dark tan, reddish brown and dark orange palette creates the earthy, rural look of a Minecraft village, standing out clearly from the grey stone landscapes of other sets in the range. The parts list on this page details exactly which of the 174 unique pieces were used, which helps when rebuilding a section or extending an existing Minecraft collection. Anyone who already owns other village or landscape sets can fold these parts in easily.

A build split into several sections

Because The Illager Raid is made up of several building and landscape pieces, the construction splits naturally into separate sections, such as watchtower, field and village house, each tackled on its own. That suits children who prefer building in shorter stages rather than finishing one large model in a single sitting. Once assembled, the individual sections can also be rearranged freely, so the village scene can be reset for whatever story comes next, gradually growing into a wider village landscape with more watchposts and fields over time.
