emily Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If I were into Minecraft, I'd be all over it. I know my little brother will probably be floored. I'd ask what the market is, considering mostly younger kids are into the theme and it's a hefty $200, but the retail Minecraft sets aren't exactly cheap themselves, so I guess parents are a-ok with the price tags.

Shadowblaze Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 200 bucks for that thing? It's not worth it. At all. I would consider it a deal if it was an unitary structure, cleverly constructed so that every piece of it completes the rest. But these are literally a bunch of random houses.

Mr. Ash Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't get what's so great about these minifig-scale Minecraft sets. The mix between blocky and round parts just doesn't make sense. Some of the basic pieces are nice I suppose, but the build isn't even intersting. You could probably make something just like this with a large brick bucket and spend a lot less money. I'm not even a fan of Minecraft, but the Micro World sets at least looked neat. Brigs and Sparks8805 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I can buy the game once and x7 some times for friends with that price, where I'm sure I'll have a much greater time of fun. aidenpons and Mr. Ash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wognif Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 For that amount of parts and something so dull, that's not worth saving up for. On a side note, if you look very carefully at the zombie villager in the second image in the OP, it looks like its doing what LEGO already has literally done to it's creativity. Kicking the bucket. (Well, for the most part, at least considering how there are more licensed sets than there should be lately) Mr. Ash and aidenpons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
