These Minecraft LEGO Sets Are Awesome — If You're Not A Square

They do provide some, but with these options he’s more comfortable with being creative.”

This Minecraft LEGO set is ideal for players who are a fan of Creeper. With 834 pieces, three mini-figures, and three explosive functions, your hands-on tike is sure to love this set. It also comes with The Creeper Mine, which features the Creeper statue, rail track, minecart, and sleep shelter.  “My eight-year-old son who loves Minecraft LEGO sets asked for this set for his birthday and he’s happy with everything,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “What does he like most? According to my son, this is the big scenery set and there are many traps. Regarding building process, he didn’t have any problem in building it by himself. He enjoys building and playing for hours and hours.”

This augmented reality set is unique in that it’s all about living life on the sea. It includes 310 pieces in addition to four mini-figures, including Jack Davids and Parker L. Jackson, Captain Jones, and Jones Jr., plus Spencer (the ghost dog) and an albino alligator. (Tbh, this sounds pretty awesome and I’m allegedly an adult.)  “My five-year-old loves the whole ‘scary’ and interactive part, and couldn’t wait to put it together,” writes one Amazon reviewer. “My wife and I play with our phones while my daughter plays with us. The interactive part works really great and is definitely bringing LEGO to the next level. It’s fun to capture the ghosts, finish tasks, etc. I hope Lego will not drop the line and keep investing in it.” Note: This set requires a tablet or mobile device to get the full interactive play experience.

Definitely a must-have for kids that love to build LEGO sets.”
