Kids with a passion for action and adventure playsets, fortress toys and Minecraft characters can enjoy all this and more in LEGO Minecraft The Wolf Stronghold (21261). This Minecraft toy for 8-plus-year-old boys and girls is a hands-on video game toy and a creative, battle-action playset. With this LEGO Minecraft set, kids build the Wolf Tamer a base featuring a big wolf’s head above the entrance, then have fun switching the wolf’s face from friendly to angry.
Inside is a crafting table, blast furnace, anvil and, for the first time in a LEGO Minecraft set, a smithing table. A chest of supplies contains a Netherite ingot, which kids can craft into a sword, sweet berries, and bones that are used to tame the wild wolf toy. Outside is a forest section with a tree, boulder, mushroom and sweet berry bush. 2 Minecraft skeleton figures wander the forest: one has an enchanted bow, and the other has a bow & arrow and diamond helmet.
For added digital fun, builders can use the intuitive LEGO Builder app. With LEGO Minecraft building toy sets, kids recreate iconic pixelated adventures from the popular video game, using hands-on creativity to bring to life the authentic Minecraft characters. This Fortress set makes a fun gamer gift for minecraft fans, boys and girls aged 8 plus years old.

Brand information
The company that was destined to become LEGO started life as being a small workshop that produced wooden toys, run by Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932. The name ‘LEGO’ was adopted in 1934, coming from the Danish phrase ‘leg godt’, which means ‘play well’. It wasn’t until 1947 that they started producing plastic toys, with the first version of the now infamous interlocking bricks coming in 1949.
They weren’t quite the bricks that people are used to nowadays, being made from a different material and having a slightly different locking system. It was actually Christiansen’s son Godtfred Kirk that saw the potential for the bricks to become a tool for creative play and in 1958, the modern brick design was born. From this date, despite variation in the design and purpose of individual pieces over the years, each remains compatible in some way with previous pieces. So you could have a LEGO set from 1958 and it would still be completely compatible with a modern set.
Since the 1960, thousands of sets have been released covering everything from Aliens to the Wild West. The only area that the company has never tackled directly is military-themed sets, because Ole Kirk set a policy that they must never make war seem like child’s play. The largest ever LEGO set to date is a scale-model of the Taj Mahal, which was made out of 5922 pieces.
The LEGO Group's motto is ‘det bedste er ikke for godt’, which roughly translates to "only the best is the best". Ole Kirk Christiansen came up with this phrase to encourage workers to always produce the highest quality toys possible.
Nowadays, LEGO makes a vast range of toys for all ages, as well as teaching materials for children, which are distributed in over 130 countries. The company has approximately 10,000 employees and is the world's third largest manufacturer of play materials.
