Recommendation: no 3.5 / 5

This small set brings the fun and creativity of Minecraft--the video game--to life. Builders can create the landscape in any shape or configuration, and pretend that Alex has built the Iron Golem to pop up and save her and the baby pig from the zombie.

Recommendation: no 5 / 10 by WhiteFang

I find this is quite a good introductry set for fans who are not too familiar with Minecraft. This set give a decent sampling to let you decide whether you like this set or not. Even if you do not like it, you can always part it out for parts.

This is a must-have set for any Minecraft fan and the price seems reasonable as well. On the other hand, the parts selection is not particularly impressive and for that reason I do not recommend it unless you are interested in Minecraft, unlike some of the other sets which are worth purchasing for the bricks alone.
