Lovely set
Just getting into Minecraft and it is a very cool collectors item, small but detailed enough to be able to recognize the game elements and characters. That Phantom is really cool :)

Retailer reviews

Just getting into Minecraft and it is a very cool collectors item, small but detailed enough to be able to recognize the game elements and characters. That Phantom is really cool :)
Very fun set, i really liked building it and that the phantom is on a transparant pole instead of just on the ground.
The LEGO Minecraft Steve's Desert Expedition is a fantastic set that will appeal to both LEGO and Minecraft fans. With Steve as the main character and a thrilling desert environment to explore, this set offers hours of fun for young adventurers. The details and features of the set are faithful to the Minecraft game, allowing children to recreate their favorite scenes and let their imaginations run wild. The building experience is challenging and rewarding, and the quality of the LEGO bricks is as always excellent. My son was very enthusiastic about this set, and I highly recommend it for any LEGO and Minecraft fan!
My son built this set himself first, using the always clear LEGO building instructions. Then he played with it (also with other Minecraft figures that are not LEGO). This set stands proudly in his window frame when he's not playing with it... he really loves it!! It's a simple set, but it provides a lot of fun.
A fun little set that includes some of the newer or rarer animals. Specifically, it includes the relatively new camel from the trader (Steve) and the flying creature that you don't often see. In addition, like in every Minecraft set, there are a few fun surprises, which makes the playing experience quite enjoyable for such a small set. For my 8-year-old son, the set was very easy and quick to assemble.
These little Minecraft sets have consistently been the best Minecraft sets released year after year, the only downside is the $1 increase but it is what it is. I'm a big fan of Steve getting his proper tan after 10 years of LEGO Minecraft. The Camel and Phantom are either new or harder to get so it's a set worth getting.
This set is super fun to build and play with! It’s the perfect size for that emergency base we’ve all built when getting bombarded by phantoms. A must have for Minecraft lovers!
