when i first bought this set i was very hesitant but as soon as i got it i realized it was a whole lot bigger than i expected. With a hidden flick missile and 2 custom characters i would buy this set over and over again

Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 74 reviews

My 7 year old son, also a huge Minecraft fan, loves this set. He particularly likes the figures it comes with - two people and a bunny (he'd be angry I didn't call them by name!) and weapons. He doesn't really like to follow the instructions to make the set anymore, but likes to be creative and create his own thing. I think that's better anyway. That way he can play with the legos over and over again. But I did look at the instructions and they seemed very easy to follow. This is a great set for Minecraft craft - gets them building in real life instead of virtually! The price is right to make it a gift.

Enjoy hands-on Minecraft adventures with this Lego Minecraft set. Each minifigure looks like they are right out of the video game with their authentic signature Minecraft pixelated look. Likewise, this set has a lot of detail and components from the prize golden apple to the blockhead killer bunny. Surprisingly this intricate set only took us 15 to 20 minutes to build and has a lot of movable parts.
