I got this set for Christmas and loved it. The Ender Dragon is built very well and the diamond gear for Steve is a great and realistic representation of someone fighting the Ender Dragon in the game. I do have one complaint though, which is that the island is somewhat small, compared to the massive island in the game. Other than that, this is a great set!

My 8 year old nephew loved it!!! He thought his Mother told me that its THE ONE he wanted. Not so, I chose it all by my little self. Its rare when older Aunts can get it right!! This time I did!

The end set is a real tough one to recommend. If you aren't a fan of the game, then I feel like this set is a rough one to sell. With other sets you get a mine scene or a small house or something, but with this you get three black towers and a dragon. The dragon doesn't have a lot of poseability, the towers don't offer much play value, and overall there isn't a whole lot to display here unless you care about The End and the game. At a steep price of $70, this is a set I would only recommend if you are a strong Minecraft enthusiast, or really find some value in the parts included.

I think you'd have to be a fan of the game to find much interest in this set. Personally, it doesn't do much for me other than putting the Dragon on display somewhere.
