Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 12 reviews

Or just kids in general. It's LEGO, so you know it's good. The only question is if you want this set, or something different but in the end you also know it's just going to end up in the general bin of LEGO bricks anyway. I say that because this isn't a 1-off set like a race car or something like that, it's a full set of LEGOs and is meant to be played with, not really displayed. It comes with all the bricks and decals you'll need to assemble the scene shown on the box, but you could also just build whatever you desired with the bricks you have.The set comes with Minecraft inspired characters like the Iron Golem and Pillagers, instead of traditional the yellow headed LEGO guys. So if you're like me and not a huge fan of Minecraft, it may make sense to spend your money on a different set, but if you love Minecraft, or are buying this for someone who does I think this set will definitely be a welcome addition to your (or their) collection of Minecraft memorabilia.

Minecraft fans who like building with LEGO will have fun bringing the computer game to life through these physical sets. There's a lot of great detail and movement to inspire action-packed play, and kids will like seeing familiar characters and locations represented in each set. These make a great addition to a LEGO Minecraft collection or a fun way to start building one.
