The Brick Post
“Overall a fantastic little set and a great addition to the growing LEGO Minecraft collection. Both minifigures are good but the real bonus here is the inclusion of the Netherite Armor, Sword and Trousers/Boots. It’s so good to expand on the range of armor available to Steve... More and Alex”
