LEGO Minecraft The Crafting Table Build and Display Set 21265

I'm one of these grown-ups who grew up with Lego and now have a room full of adult Legos. My daughter grew up with both Lego and Minecraft, so this was a must-buy for me. Even though this is marketed for adults, my daughter built this herself at age 9 (she let me build one or two bags to be nice, even though she didn't need to). It's a brilliant piece. While other Minecraft sets are more literal interpretations of the Minecraft world, this one is a little more abstract. What's brilliant about it is that even though the biomes are reductive, they're stylized in ways that you can immediately tell what they represent. The cherry grove biome with its pink trees, the ice spikes biome with its giant blocks of blue and white ice, the villages with their gable roofs, and even the adorable little representations of characters like Steve, Alex, and mobs, all reduced to three 1x1 thin square blocks. Each of the biomes is its own standalone piece, but they all come together to form the diorama. It's one of the most brilliant designs I've seen, and it all fits within a 5.5" x 5.5" x 5.5" cube. We buy a lot of licensed products, but Lego is one of the few that you can tell really share passion for the brand, perhaps thanks to their shared creative DNA. This set is full of little details and surprises, such as the slanted "quotes" you see on the splash screen of the game and the "proper" shade of green for oak, spruce, and birch trees. One of the most clever builds are the caves...you build part of a lush cave, a dripstone cavern, and an abandoned mineshaft, but they're all hidden in the corner so that only the builder knows they're there. This definitely falls under one of my top 10 builds, and bear in mind that I've build hundreds of sets over the years. Highly recommended.

my son and i opened the first bag and from the start, the pieces did not coincide with the visual directions. we tried four different ways and times to build the base to no avail. we usually love lego sets but this one was totally disappointing. will be returning.

If this set is like a box and open the door to see inside will be more cool instead is just three surface

The building process was amazing, the fact that everything is tiled is SO nice. If YOUVE never watched the YouTube channel CheesyStudios you need to watch it. He tiles everything and having this set tiled makes a huge difference.

As a minecraft fan turned out amazing and it was super easy to build, nothing went wrong!

I freaking loved this set. It took about 2 days to build, and it looks incredible! I love how it can be displayed in 2 different ways. Great way to honor Minecraft and how far its gone!

Very Good, I liked putting it together and it looks nice.

This is such a fun set! It took quite a bit to assemble but I love how it has so many different sections that get put to together to make one big piece. Very cool set.

It was fun to build and the pieces were perfect size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is one of my favorite lego sets i have put together. it was pretty challenging but i loved it! so much fun and the pay off was totally worth it. i’m so happy

Complete waste of $90. Pieces missing straight out of sealed bag #5!! Can’t finish the set now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LEGO Minecraft -The Crafting Table Set is a must-have for fans of both LEGO and Minecraft. Its detailed design, beautiful features, and high quality make it a standout set that offers hours of fun and creative play while building. Whether for a child or a collector, this set is a fantastic addition that captures the essence of Minecraft. Lego sets are expensive, but for the amount of excitement, entertainment and the way it looks on my daughter’s shelf, it’s definitely worth it . Lots of awesome details in it just like minecraft. This is the most fun we’ve had building a lego set in quite a while. I will mention that it can be tricky at first, the foundation can sometimes get tricky, but once you have the bottom built it’s fairly easy from that point on forward. Also it’s worth mentioning that when the top foundation is on, it does make the inside world look pretty dark so I would recommend leaving it off or displaying it on a high shelf to avoid shadows. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this set and would highly recommend it!

I am absolutely in love and was ecstatic with every biome I was building. There's a lot more than I initially thought [spoiler] with the little caves underneath a few of the biomes, and those had me most excited! Fair warning, there are a lot of little pieces. The only minor issues I have is that I would have liked a better view into these mining caves from the outside and that the underside of the crafting table's top was sky blue instead of white so it better matches the sky blue side walls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son was so excited to open this Lego! He is a big fan of Minecraft and legos so this was an awesome surprise! It was pretty difficult to put together so he loved doing it. Our house is decorated in all his finished and unfinished Lego sets!

I love Minecraft legos so much definitely worth it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] its just a not very good build sorry lego messed up on this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone loves Lego!.. right? This I thought looked like a fabulous set, which all of my family could enjoy building together. However due to it being a ton of small pieces we found it quite fiddly and my younger children gave up early. I feel that the age advised on the box is correct. This is a more difficult build. However, it will look brilliant once completed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fab product my partner and daughter will enjoy building this together. Minecraft is a big thing in our house so thank you. Durable. Good quality.

Awesome set, very fun to build and good for Minecraft fans
