“The LEGO Minecraft Nether Portal Ambush (2024) set brings a vibrant, organic design to the Nether landscape with 352 pieces, a player minifigure, and some well-crafted mobs like a Hoglin and a Ghast that even has a launching fireball feature.”
Brick Fanatics
“The Nether Portal Ambush is another huge win for LEGO Minecraft in 2024, fixing one of the theme’s biggest errors in a previous set but going one step further and adding a fun and easy-to-use function to the Hoglin. The Ghast could easily be a set on its own, but its... More compatibility with the main model shows just how much thought the design team put into this package.”
