The Creeper Ambush Reviews

Collectors
Investors
A Decent Blend of Creativity and Adventure with Minecraft — “This Minecraft adventure set is a compact package that offers a fair bit of entertainment, especially for the younger audience. It features Steve, one of the game's iconic characters, along with a baby pig, a baby chicken, and an Exploding Creeper, which adds a touch of... More authenticity for Minecraft fans.”
“Minecraft adventure set is a middle-of-the-road offering. It has its moments of fun and creativity, but it might not hold lasting appeal for all. It's a decent choice for younger kids or for those new to Minecraft, but seasoned players might find it lacking in depth and... More complexity.”
 
Excerpts from third-party reviews

About Minecraft Minifig-scale

The LEGO Minecraft theme is based on the video game Minecraft and a collaboration between Mojang and the LEGO Group. Sets in this theme were all based on the traditional LEGO minifigure scale. Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by Notch (Markus Persson) and later developed and published by Mojang / Microsoft. The official release occurred in 2013 with the first set, Minecraft: Micro World: The Forest, released under LEGO Ideas and was created by Mojang through the LEGO CUUSOO program in 2012. At MineCon 2013, LEGO announced brand new minifigure-scale Minecraft sets.

Minifig-scale was introduced in 2014 and currently consists of 129 sets. As of today, 21137 The Mountain Cave is the most valuable Minifig-scale set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,583.

Big fun in a small set for Minecraft players

Next, they use a sword to battle the dreaded Exploding Creeper. The battle culminates in kids pushing the special detonation block, which blasts the Exploding Creeper into the air. When the action’s over for the day, this fun-filled set looks great on display in kids’ rooms.
