The Nether Bastion Reviews
“The LEGO Minecraft Nether Bastion set offers an immersive, hands-on experience for fans of the Minecraft video game. It includes five Minecraft figures and a variety of accessories for engaging battle action. Players can navigate through the fiery Nether Bastion, complete... More challenges, and gather items for further play. With gold blocks, weapons, and a treasure chest, this set is a perfect gift for kids aged 8 and over, promising real-world, brick-built adventures.”
Brickset
“This set seems to suggest that the Player's strategy is to ride a Strider into the fortress, loot the chest, fight the piglins, and blow open the walls to get to the gold - all potential ways to successfully complete the challenge. The treasure in the bastion is great -... More netherrite ingots, netherrite scraps, and gold blocks. There may also be a piece of bread, but the item is hard to identify.”
