My 10yr old son is getting to be quite the avid Lego collector. Up until Dec 2011 he was an only child, so he's pretty good at entertaining himself. He'll get on the floor with his little piles of Lego brickarms & minifigures and have a blast. 2 days ago he asked me for a Lego monster or troll. Yesterday, his troll arrived and so did this Minotaur. I got it as a surprise not knowing whether he'd like it or not cause he didn't ask for it specifically. As soon as I handed it to him he responded "AWESOME! Thanks mom!" Based on that reaction, I'd say this is a good toy.Besides "building" skills and imagination play, I"m not sure what educational value this toy holds, but as far as fun and durable it definitely gets 5stars.

Recommendation: yes 9.3 / 10 by WhiteFang

To conclude, the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 6 is another remarkably amazing piece of LEGO products. Seeing the pictures at first is not as exciting as compared with playing with the actual stuff. These minifigures are really incredible and in most cases, have made lots of LEGO collectors, a dream coming true. You can't see much disappointments for me at my end. With a better distribution among the minifigures allocation and providing a maximum of 3 complete sets in a sealed box plus lots of newly designed minifigures that doesn't really made me felt that almost none is made as a filer. In my case, the Roman Solder, Celtic Warrior, Minotaur, Bandits, Lady Liberty, Genie, Sleepyhead and Surgeon are my favourite Series 6 minifigures ever and it will also served as another hard challenge for me and the rest to gather them all.

Recommendation: no 5 / 10 by Jay

One of the initial ‘stand-out' pieces from Series 6, the Minotaur got a lot of fans excited due to it's incredibly unique headpiece. I mean, anytime Lego does anything close to Greek/Roman mythology, it's got to be a plus. The real thing, however was far from the hype it generated.
