LEGO set 21170, The Pig House, recreates a pig themed house from the Minecraft universe.

The model turns a Minecraft style shelter into a brick built house shaped around the pig motif. Within the Minecraft theme, it belongs with sets that focus on bases, homes and playable survival locations rather than vehicles or display only subjects.

Its construction uses the squared forms associated with Minecraft, giving the build a clear visual link to the source material. The included parts create a self contained scene centred on the house and its characters.

It is suited to builders who want a playable Minecraft location that can also stand on display as a themed house. In a wider Minecraft layout, it can serve as a home, a small base or a distinctive building placed among other biomes, shelters and adventure scenes.
