The Crafting Box 4.0 Reviews
BrickEconomy Member Review
“The set’s standout feature is its array of bright colors, such as magenta, dark orange, and turquoise, which adds a fresh and playful look. While the set offers plenty of potential for building and customization, the lack of traditional brown bricks limits terrain building options. The TNT function with hidden emerald ore is a clever twist on the play feature, adding an element of surprise.”

“The Minecraft Crafting Box is a vibrant and versatile set that offers plenty of value for Minecraft fans, despite a few drawbacks. With 654 pieces, the set features two main build options, including a colorful "cat house" and a variety of mobs, such as Steve, Alex, a cyan sheep (a new addition!), a creeper, a zombie with an iron helmet, and two cat variants. The interior of the cat house is filled with fun details like an armor stand with diamond gear, an Anvil, a crafting table, and even a birch door.”
