Legends of Chima

The Croc Swamp Hideout

The Croc Swamp Hideout is the Crocodile Tribe's base from LEGO's Legends of Chima theme, tucked away among mud and swamp vegetation. At 647 pieces and 5 minifigures, it's a compact build that leans on concealment and traps rather than an openly defended stronghold. Dark green and reddish brown give it a noticeably different look from the more technical bases built by other tribes.

Description

A hideout, not an open fortress

Where several other Chima tribes get openly defended, martial-looking fortresses, The Croc Swamp Hideout is built as a concealed camp that blends into the swamp around it. Irregular shapes, overgrown surfaces and hidden trap mechanisms define the model, matching the cunning, ambush-oriented role the Crocodile Tribe often plays in the Chima storyline. That approach sets it visibly apart from the more symmetrical, clearly defined fortresses other tribes get in the same line, with several small hiding spots that only become obvious on a closer look.

Dark green and reddish brown instead of grey

Dark bluish grey, reddish brown, black and dark green combine to give the model the damp, overgrown look of a swamp hideout, a clear departure from the cooler greys used across most other Chima bases. Dark green stands in for swamp vegetation and camouflage, while reddish brown covers muddy ground and timber elements. The parts list on this page breaks down all 201 distinct pieces by colour and quantity, useful for finding a specific element after the build.

201 distinct parts for swamp detailing

At 201 distinct parts across 647 pieces, the set carries enough variety for the irregular shapes and trap mechanisms that separate a swamp hideout from a conventional fortress. That mix of parts also works well for custom fantasy or nature-themed builds outside the Chima line, such as a swamp or jungle scene. For collectors, it's an unusual source of green and reddish brown pieces that show up less often in other sets.

Five minifigures from the Crocodile Tribe

Five minifigures come with the set, likely members of the Crocodile Tribe along with possible rivals venturing into the swamp. The hideout's concealed, trap-filled design suits play scenarios where intruders get ambushed or driven off. Combined with other Legends of Chima sets, it can become part of a larger scene built around the conflict between the animal tribes in Chima's swamplands, with several bases and vehicles working together.
