Overall rating

The set contains different elements, such as a small pig figure, a crate, a duck and a creeper. The creeper figure can be launched for interactive play. The set is suitable for children from the age of seven, but due to the play theme, building the set is not too challenging.

A nice addition to the set is the lava guy, which reflects my son's love for lava. The playset also includes a Minecraft character with a sword, as well as a duck and a pig figure. The built-in trap allows the Minecraft character to defeat the creeper, making for exciting gameplay.

With 72 parts, the set is not too big and can be built in about half an hour. My four-year-old son has tried to do as much as possible himself, so it may have taken a little longer. In general, the reviews of this set are positive, with almost all five stars.

However, it is important to note that this is a small set, and it can be even more fun if you add some extra LEGO Minecraft pieces to combine with. By connecting different sets you can create a larger playing world and add more characters and enemies. However, with the creeper ambush and some extra accessories, this set already offers plenty of fun.
