My boys love Mincraft and Legos so when Lego put the two together, they made something awesome! We knew we had to get these sets! This one was no exception. My kids have enjoyed putting it together. It resembles the game perfectly. This house features all of the basics of a Minecraft house. Including an item frame, an actually working chest, and a bed. All the parts you need for a Minecraft house. This set comes with Steve, a pig and a Creeper. I love the way that the pig gets its own fence in this set. The house is interesting because you can swing it open after you've completed it and play inside with the characters. The set also has tools that Steve can hold. I think all of the lego Minecraft sets are great to have together.

The Lego Minecraft boxed sets are mostly made up of flat 1x1 building tiles but there are some sets, like this one, that use a variety of elements. You can build three mini figures with the pieces that come with the set but you always have the freedom to mix them with other sets in the series. There's a total of 408 pieces to the set; some of the best pieces include the small green mini base plates, brown standard bricks (used for the base, elevation and roof), clear green 2x2 pieces and the Minecraft sword. If you have Lego building experience this shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to build. If you have large baase plates you can use those with this set to combine buildings or keep them from sliding around when constructing the top section. The instructions give you a step by step guide to building the structure but you always have the option to build whatever you like from the pieces. Everything in the set is compatible with other Lego mini figures, sets and bricks. The First Night makes for a great add on to larger boxed sets and because of the unique items like the pink pig and Creeper its something that any Lego Minecraft fan would love to add to their collection. The only downside to the set is that there are a lot of small pieces to the set so this isn't recommended for younger children.

I bought this for my 8-year-old son for Christmas and he's been playing with it since. Who doesn't love Legos? This kit is an extension of the Minecraft game and it is really nice that my son can use his imagination not just in building different configurations of this set, but can also "play" Minecraft in a different way and not on the computer. I think that really helps to foster creativity. Another big plus to this kit is that it is simple enough to build in one sitting but intricate enough to still be really enjoyable for kids who want to do more than just build exactly what is in the instruction book. One drawback to this set is that is very small. The pieces are small and once put together it is hard to take some of the pieces apart again. There is a special tool that comes with the set which helps you to get the pieces apart but this could be frustrating for younger users. And, of course, because the pieces are so small you need to be careful about leaving them around if there are younger kids in your household. Overall, my son has really enjoyed this set and we plan on getting more of the Minecraft sets.

Fairly easy to build. Though had a little trouble with the flat pieces/platforms staying together.
