LEGO Minecraft The Desert Outpost 21121

We purchased this for our son for Christmas who was age 12 at the time. He loves Minecraft and plays the game daily, but he also has a great love for Lego's. So the combination of Lego with Minecraft was a real win-win for him. He is always excited to get a new Lego set and this one was no exception. I love the quality of the Lego products. We really appreciate that they not only are beneficial in helping children use their fine motor skills, but also to promote creativity. Our son has spent hours upon hours builing Lego sets. What is great about the Minecraft sets is that he can recreate new builds based off the game from all the various pieces included in the Minecraft sets...so the possibilities really are endless. He said that the instructions were easy to follow and that he really enjoyed this set. Some have mentioned that they feel it is a bit complicated. As with any of the larger Lego sets, it really just depends on each child individually. If they have been building Lego's for years as our son has, it is a breeze. However, I can see where for a younger child they may require a bit of help or assistance. Just another great way to spend some one on one time with your child, I mean Lego's are fun for adults too!The countless hours of building enjoyment that Lego provides is what makes these sets worth it.

You really can't go wrong with Legos. If you like building blocks then they do not disappoint. My son has a few of these Minecraft sets. Since MInecraft is designed on a large pixel system it translates well to building blocks. the figures look like Minecraft figures and the buildings look like things you can build in Minecraft. My son is 7 years old and he can build a set like this by himself. Sometimes I help by finding the blocks he needs and he follows the instructions to put everything in place. The wolf is a nice character to get in the set. I do get tired of so many copies of Steve and Alex. The set is nicely playable, as are most Minecraft sets.

This grandmother loves Legos and have quite a collection. Why children/early teens love to visit. Minecraft is one series that I haven't work with and I found them interesting and fun. NOW of course want as many sets as I can find room for. :D Many no longer available from Lego so trying to collect as many as I can as understand how Legos work once retired. Out of reach price-wise.I find the Minecraft series fun to build and grandchildren enjoy their adventures with them. Though I don't think the Simpson minifigures really work with Minecraft series but what the heck!Patricia Hauge

We purchased this in addition to two other sets of minecraft legos. Both our daughters were very excited about this set, because it is one of the first that includes ALEX ! This set also comes with two skeletons and of course Steve. The set took them just a few hours to build by themselves ( 6 and 9 yrs old). The love the TNT canon and the skeleton sand trap .

this was a gift for my 5 year old nephew. He lives 3 hours away so I had it shipped to his house. Haven't seen him play with it yet, but his mom says he loves and it and they sent me a video the day he got it with him telling me thank you and all the parts on the floor in front of him. The smile on his face was priceless. good service too. He got it in less than a week.

This was a gift for my grandson's birthday and he loved it. I am happy that he did but I feel that Legos are so overpriced for just a few little plastic pieces.

This was a birthday gift for my 11 year old grandson. He and I talked on the phone and chose this by pulling up the same amazon web pages and then him carefully deciding which of the Minecraft sets that he wanted. It arrived, was opened and set up immediately. He loves it. We have a deal that at Christmas, he will get the Minecraft that has the dragon. His dad was raised with Legos and so is he. For us it is a generational thing. Now our great grandchildren have Legos.

I am giving the seller 5 stars because we received our product quickly and in perfect condition, however anyone looking into this product needs to know, that because you can make multiple different minecraft landscapes, the directions get very confusing and a bit frustrating for kids to put together. It IS doable, but you may be sitting down with your child to help out more than normal on this set.
