The Brothers Brick
“Ultimately, this set fails as an adequate minifig-scale Minecraft set. The sub-assembly feature is novel, but it's too weak to be picked up, and looks bad when assembled. Minecraft fans will be better off ignoring the instructions and creating their own scenes with the... More pieces.”

“The pieces will definitely find welcome homes in my collection. If you're a Minecraft fan looking for a way to create scenes that look like they come out of the game, you should definitely check it out. For others, if you need a lot of basic bricks it's not a bad value at... More all.”
