LEGO Minecraft The Nether Portal 21143 Building Kit (470 Pieces)

So me and my Fiancee are currently locked down in our apartment because I guess like the world is kinda going through some stuff right now or something? IDK I get all my news from Youtubers and they won't stop talking about the new animal crossing game. But yes this is a great Lego set, the disks do come out of the Ghast's mouth at a fairly decent speed but it's not like the little dark gun that used to come with the old mindstrom sets. The little train car even moves around on the tracks and it just makes me feel so good and wholesome to know that years later and lego is still bringing their A game. Not that Bionicle wasn't their A game but...look it was a different time and we didn't really know what we now know about appropriating Hawaiian culture. Point is this is a great set. Just don't put the bed in the nether and sleep in it or the whole thing explodes and you get this error message that directs you to a forum page and you rage quit because you had a full set of high level enchanted diamond armor. 64/10 Ghast is new best fren.

This is what my 7-year has to say about this set: "I am 7 years old. It took me 4 days. The Minecart can even go through the portal! The Ghast shoots out fire charges! My favorite part is the lava! The lava goes down! It was fun! It took my son about 6 hours total to put this together. He did it mostly by himself and needed a little help. He has put together a lot of sets so he has a really good understanding of the process. He loves Minecraft and really enjoyed putting this together!

It's a great lego set not much to say the ghast is very nice though I think a smoothe plate would have been nicer for the face and I will admit I cant stand the blaze, it looks nice yes but it is very stiff unlike blazes from set 21154 "The Blaze Bridge" i have due to different building method but all in all still a great set!

It’s LEGO so obviously is Good and the right price. It was difficult for my 7year old to assemble and follow the directions and do it all by himself. That’s the only thing I would say. But it can be easy to follow for other 7year olds :)

Over priced but great way to switch things up from video and IPad games. Teaches patients and works on dexterity for young children. Directions are great so easy to follow especially for children with reading disabilities however, it teaches goals and creativity. Happy LEGO is still going strong just over priced considering how inexpensive it is to manufacture.

This is an awesome set for Minecraft and Lego fans! The ghast is fun to build. It can hold two fireballs at a time; it can shoot each separately. The set fits super well into a larger Lego Minecraft world if you use the portal as a standard nether portal and the portal concept in general is great for combining Minecraft Lego worlds with any other Lego world. Steve and Alex can travel through a portal and into any other themed world and vice versa!

Bought this for my nephew for his birthday back in July, it was 39 bucks then.. was going to get one for Christmas for my son who has been begging for it and it's double the price now? Yikes.. Minecraft LEGO inflation is real, guess we are skipping on this gift.

First one my 6 year put together mostly by himself!
