Steve's Desert Expedition Reviews
“The LEGO set 21251 Steve's Desert Expedition brings a slice of the Minecraft desert biome into the hands of enthusiasts, offering a modest assembly experience with its 75 pieces. Highlighted by the inclusion of a Steve minifigure, a novel baby camel piece, and a menacing flying Phantom, this set marks a welcome retreat from the prior year's price hike, settling at an accessible $9.99 USD. Noteworthy is the absence of stickers, as all decorative elements come printed, ensuring durability and ease of assembly. The set's design leans heavily on... More plates and modified plates, complemented by a few bricks, with the baby camel's head and Steve's updated, more expressive face adding character to the ensemble.”
