Set 21117, The Ender Dragon, represents the Minecraft encounter built around the Ender Dragon within the LEGO Minecraft theme. Released in 2014, it belongs to the Minecraft theme and contains 634 pieces for a recognizable scene from the game.
The Ender Dragon brings a central Minecraft moment into brick form, with the Ender Dragon as the main subject of the model. Within LEGO Minecraft, set 21117 sits among the builds that translate familiar creatures and locations from the game into a deliberately blocky, modular construction style.
The build combines a brick built creature with an End inspired setting, keeping close to the visual language of Minecraft rather than relying on realistic shaping.
This set suits collectors of the Minecraft theme, builders interested in creature models and anyone looking for a display scene connected to the End. It also supports play with Steve and the Enderman, and can be placed alongside other Minecraft sets as a representation of an important part of the licence.
