    8 year old me was extremely excited when I first saw Lego Minecraft in Walmart’s Lego section back in 2014! 10 years later I can’t believe it’s still going strong, and it’s one of my favorite Lego themes

    Lego Minecraft is a theme very near and dear to my heart. I remember as a kid splitting my allowance with my brothers to buy the first skin pack set. We had hours of fun with those 4 minifigures, and when we slowly got more sets and more player skins, it started to feel like an in house original theme like Ninjago rather than a licensed theme. I’ll always have a soft spot for this theme, can’t wait to see what it’s got in store for the future

    Yet another look into a theme I completely missed, although this one is clearly in production to this day. I've been playing minecraft on and off when it was still in early beta and the Lego minecraft does indeed convey this 'early style' minecraft very well. I can imagine the blocky layer style of building being extremely fun for a minecraft enhusiast. This is also the first time I got to see the Minecraft custom moc buildings. This smooth blocky style might be a bit over the top, but it does look even better, the colors and layers just pop a lot more. Thanks again for taking us along a journey into Lego history, which is insanely valuable to someone that has only somewhat recently rediscovered Lego as a hobby.

    I love having the Minecraft theme around. I haven't collected a ton of it, but I've bought some small sets, polybags, and magazines over the years and gathered some players and what I consider the classic Minecraft monsters (Skeleton, Creeper, Zombie, Spider, Enderman, Slime). It's such a delight having those guys sitting in a little display in Lego form! Really liked seeing the sets reimagined in your style too! A nice tribute to the theme's beginning, and cool to have the direct comparison to the simpler but effective style of the official sets.

    Having something physical on a display that you can touch, like the collection of minecraft figures, has a ton of value. While it doesn't offer the play features of the game, having it around in physical form does something a virtual game can never do.

    I remember buying the first lego sets for Minecraft and enjoying them so much, they had such a charm. I believe I got the Jungle one (which was one of the earlier sets?) for my birthday as a kiddo, and of course I collected some of the other ones, the farm, the little starter house, etc. Loved it. I've also recently acquired a bunch more of the old ones including the end set! anyway yaps aside, this theme is great, especially collecting the figs and special prints.

    The Ninjago dragons 70653 Firstbourne and 71754 Water Dragon both have a gravity-powered flapping feature. I personally love the Water Dragon's function, the wings ripple like that of a manta ray or sting ray. Similar in function is 71766 Lloyd's Legendary Dragon, which has a lever that moves the wings forward and backish, it's not a straight flap but it gets the job done (I don't own it so can't speak to it like I can the Water Dragon). On a related note, 71721 Skull Sorcerer's Dragon doesn't flap, but it has a button in the same place as Firstbourne's wing-flapper that opens its ribcage to drop a boulder, just like the Makuta Phantoka, which I think is another top-tier play feature. Love your videos, keep up the phenomenal work!

    I didn’t appreciate Lego Minecraft when it first came out; I didn’t like that Steve having a standard minifig body limited game accuracy, while the block head meant he didn’t look good next to normal minifigures. That changed in 2020, because I got into building pirate ships and castles and needed gray and brown bricks. I’ve never been comfortable with bricklink’s interface and it feels like too much work to find a good deal, and you may pay a fortune in shipping by the end of it. I wasn’t really using Lego’s pick a brick service at the time(that’s changed in a big way though. I use PAB online all the time now) so I needed a way to get brown and gray bricks. The Minecraft sets offered the best deal of any on shelves for getting what I wanted, but I soon came to appreciate the figures! Now, I feel it’s maybe the best value for money theme that Lego offers, and I love that the sets come with play features but are obviously meant to be rebuilt, added to, and just inspire creativity as a jumping off point.

    Since LEGO did send me the bricks through LAN, I'm honestly not completely sure of the cost breakdown. xD It was $500ish worth of bricks, but I didn't use all of the pieces for the builds, probably about 80%. I'd say on average though it does about quadruple the parts usage

    18:34 To answer both your questions: 1. Yes, I also remember Imaginext. It and Geotrax was my Lego before Lego. 2. There are actually 3, technically 4, that have a flapping wing feature: It's 4 if you count the upcoming Monkie Kid "Nine-Headed Beast". It's more of a bird than a dragon, but it does have a flapping function. Then there's the 2022 Lloyd's Legendary Dragon, which actually has them flap forward and back. It's somewhat simplistic, but very effective Then the 2021 Water Dragon which has an incredibly unique, but equally awesome flapping function. And finally there's the first to really do this (that's not the MC one): the 2018 Firstbourne. Not only does it have a flapping function, but it also has foldable wings not too dissimilar to the Imaginext dragon. (Infact, a lot of modern Ninjago Dragons have folding functions.) There's also the two original Ultra Dragons (Golden one doesn't), which are kinda half flap/fold and flying/landing, it's hard to describe. But you are able to make them flap on the 2019 version, not sure about the 2012 one tho. There's also a chance an Elves one might have one; non seemed to have one from my skimming, but I also don't know much about Elves.

    man, for some reason I forgot how nostalgic I am towards these sets... the first few LEGO MC waves were actually something I completely obsessed over. Anyone else remember those hours you spent simply looking at the small images in the iconic square catalog? The Minecraft pages were definitely some of the most appealing ones to me then. Maybe because during that time I played a ton of Minecraft Pocket Edition too (Gosh, Samsung still made tablets then...). Don't know if LEGO fueled my MC obsession or the other way around... Anyways, I fondly remember really wanting the desert fortress and the Jungle Treehouse (along with many others, but mainly those 2). And I also had the Crafting Box! I spent so many hours making my own combinations between the modules and when that got boring I started to build my own things with all the pieces like the inspirational models encouraged. I feel like the crafting boxes did get worse over time, there's less customization in each new one they make. Or maybe the original just can't be topped. Or both. Oh crap, now I'm rambling too.
