The charming world of Stardew Valley has been brought to life in the form of a jaw-dropping Lego replica, thanks to the efforts of Steve Jensen, both a dedicated Stardew Valley and Lego fan. Jensen unveiled his massive creation at BrickCon, the Lego convention held in Washington, and it’s a pixel-perfect tribute to the beloved 2014 farming sim.
Jensen’s elaborate Lego diorama features a meticulous recreation of Stardew Valley‘s Pelican Town, complete with the iconic Jojo Mart, Lego versions of the game’s colourful NPCs and their homes, the overgrown Community Centre, and even the game’s signature logo. The attention to detail in this build is truly impressive.
The painstakingly crafted Lego model earned Jensen the People’s Choice Award at BrickCon. But the real twist came when Stardew Valley’s creator, Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone, made an unexpected appearance at the convention. Barone, who lives in Washington, stopped by to congratulate Jensen and snap a few photos with him.
“Guess who stopped by Saturday afternoon (before any awards had happened)?” Jensen shared on Instagram. “It’s ok if you don’t recognize him… I didn’t either. And yes, I did a brief fan-boy moment when Concerned Ape introduced himself!!! Naturally, I brought him ‘backstage’ for a closer look (…and this pic)!!”
Jensen, who co-owns Bricks & Minifigs Monroe, a Lego and figurine store in Monroe, Washington, was thrilled to celebrate his win with his colleagues. There’s even a hint that Jensen’s creation might be displayed in the store soon.
A decade after its release, Stardew Valley remains popular as ever thanks to its many updates, including the 1.6 update which introduced a plethora of new features and broke records on Steam.
