LEGO Minecraft The Nether Fortress

This set was a great addition to my sons' (ages 4 and 6) Lego Minecraft world. My oldest needed some help with assembly but he's only 6 (product is rated for ages 8+). The fact that the ghast actually shoots the little 1x1 lego bricks was a nice touch (but easy to lose the pieces, they shoot pretty far), as well as the glow in the dark "glowstone" bricks. The boys have enjoyed hours of fun with this set, and will continue to do so on many more trips to the Nether!

I bought this kit for my son for his 11th birthday. He loves minecraft and the regular box of legos seem to bore him anymore. These kits are great! They are more advanced with alot of pieces. The step by step instructions are super helpful. We love building these together and he loves playing with them for hours upon hours! Pricing here is significantly cheaper than at the toy store also :)

I got this for my son for Christmas who has been requesting this on his list. He loves his lego and minecraft so it was a great kit for him. My son is good at his lego kits and was able to put this together himself in an afternoon. I like that this kit comes with several characters in this. I personally don't see the appear but my son loves this and it now has pride of place in his room.

The box is huge! Very wide so the wow factor is going to be there when she opens it! My daughter loves this whole series & we haven't found a Lego set yet that disappoints. These mine craft sets seem dull for the price until you help put it together & see how much detail & contraptions Lego puts into them, she loves it as much as playing the game but this gets her eyes off of a screen!

This is my 7 year old son's top gift desire for Christmas this year. He knows we got it (because he saw the box and instantly knew...we do the 4 gift thing and those gifts are under the tree) and he dreams about it, thinks about it, tries to build it in his head in his waking moments. He is chomping at the bit for this bit of minecraft awesomeness! He just learned how to build a nether portal and is very excited to go over to that world and see these guys in the game, too! I highly recommend this for anyone who has a child who is a minecraft nut....or anyonen who has or knows a boy between the ages of 6 and 45+!

Took awhile to put it together but once it is......amazing!!! I bought this from amazon.com well before Christmas and paid more than it sells for now, but that is okay, was for a Christmas gift for my grandson. He wanted it sooo much I could not refuse. He said he can play with it now that it is complete. I have a picture to share of the competed set. .

We had to return because several pieces broke right in half. I was being particularly gentle after the first one broke, but they just snapped.

My son was REALLY excited to get this for his birthday, but oddly, there were a bunch of pieces missing, and there was a lot of disappointment and tears shed in trying to build it. LEGO is usually really reliable and good about getting all the pieces in and having great instructions. Not sure why this one was different. Tempting to return it, but it is part built.
