LEGO Minecraft 21273, The Ghast Balloon Village Attack, depicts a village under attack with a ghast balloon, Steve’s house, a fountain and game-based characters. Released in 2025, it belongs to the Minecraft theme and contains 555 pieces.

Set 21273 presents a conflict scene in the LEGO Minecraft range, with a village threatened by a ghast balloon. It fits the theme’s approach of translating recognisable game locations, mobs and encounters into block-built scenes that can be rearranged and played through.

The set is suited to story play based on defending a village, while also working as a display piece in a LEGO Minecraft collection. Compared with other sets in the theme, it is defined by the ghast balloon and by the mix of villagers, player characters and hostile mobs in one scene.
