LEGO 21169 Minecraft The First Adventure Nether Playset with Steve, Alex, Skeleton, Dyed Cat Figures, Moobloom & Horned Sheep, Gift for Boys and Girls

The media could not be loaded.  Lego Minecraft 21169 - The First Adventure Nether PlaysetThis new set from Lego has been released at the same time as  Lego set 21168 - The Warped Forest  both new for 2021. This particular set is the bigger of the two and consists of 542 pieces with 108 construction steps. It took my 10yr old son 2.5 hours to build without a break! With the complexity and interactive features of this set I would say it's worth the £55.00 price tag.The character's included in this set are:1 x Steve1 x Alex2 x Skeletons1 x Dyed Cat1 x Moobloom1 x Horned SheepApparently the Dyed Cat, Moobloom and Horned Sheep are taken from Minecraft Earth, they're not currently featured in the main game, yet!The 3 level structure consists of caves, mines and the top surface. Quite a few interactive features have been installed in this set such as the falling sand blocks, exploding rail track, elevator on the waterfall, minecart launcher and the exploding blocks with the lava flow. The good news is that all the moving features do actually work!As I mentioned earlier, it's a biggish set and will take time to complete using the, easy to follow, construction manual. The set consists of 4 numbered bags of Lego bricks, my son found no missing pieces and had a few left over.Overall, my son's very pleased with this set, it will give him hours of entertainment, totally recommended.

My 6 year old has had lots of fun assembling it and then playing with it.

Great lego set for any Minecraft fan! My son spent 3hours putting it all together and then played with it for the rest of the day. Can't help feel it's on the pricey side but I guess Lego is! Hopefully he will continue to play with it :)

I've never played the Minecraft Video Game but my adult son still plays it regularily online and he also collects the Lego Minecraft series. So it was a no brainer to pass this one to him to build. His overall impression of it was good value but it just feels lack it is lacking something once completed.Playability would be a solid 5 Stars. There is a mine cart, lots of diamond blocks to mine for and plenty of minifigures and built creatures to keep you occupied. Throw in a waterfall lift, a collapsible section of mine track, a lava flow and a rock flow you can certainly create mayhem for Steve and Alex. This makes recreating your own adventures in Minecraft on your table really easy and fun. The inclusion of the flower cow, the sheep and the odelot that are built rather than moulded pieces is also a point in its favour. (Please Note: The green baseplate shown in the pictures is NOT included in the set, this is from my stash to make photographing the figures simpler).The problem comes on the visuals. Whilst it is true to the nature of Minecraft with the pixel block look and little inclusions like a crafting table it just feels like something is missing and it is half finished. Not enough to really complain but just a vague feeling of disappointment of it as a display piece compared to some of the other series.Many thanks to the Amazon Vine Program for a review copy of this product.

The media could not be loaded.  My little boy is lego obsessed and loves minecraft, so this was a easy choice of half term summer holiday game for him- and he absolutely loved it!Comes with over 500 pieces and a 100+ page instruction manual. My little boys first words were “wow look at the size of the instructions,” needless to say he was glued to it until completion.It took him just under 3 hours to complete. He’s a 9 year old, but what I will say is he tends to do lego far past his age range, so may take less experienced lego fans a bit longer (although the age 8+ guideline does seem reasonable and accurate).Lego itself is great quality, as you’d expect from this brand, and appears sturdy/durable and ready for plenty of use.Has some extra interactive features that I’ve tried to capture in the video, although I’m sure I’ve not got them all.Comes with a good selection of characters, so your little person is all ready to go with creating a fun world of imaginative play.Price seems reasonable for the brand make and amount of Lego you get with this set.Overall my little boy has been utterly thrilled with this and we’re more than happy to recommend.
