The Nether Portal Reviews
“A perfect set with plenty of pieces and great minifigures. The ghast is new and interestingly built, the baby zombie pigman is great (and adorable!), the blaze is a nice addition, and you can never have enough Steve's. Especially with the nice armour pieces included. This... More set includes great accessories, and overall it's a great set for LEGO fans and Minecraft fans.”
“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... More 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!”
