My first house!
" I'll admit it, I have never bought a LEGO house, and for a first one, this set i great!
What's in the box:
This set includes three (3) bags, Steve, creeper, and pig.
The pig is exclusive to the set, as the sheep and cow are to 'The farm'.

'The first night' is a fairly small set, but a lot of it is compact.
But, to make up for the lacking scale, the green house-ish roof can be removed and connected to expand the area. The house also spits open in the middle, thanks to two (2) elbow joints. The interior of the house has a table, chest with bread, a bed, crafting table, item frame, torch, and flower pot.
The pig pen is a cool addition to the set, and the fence looks great. "

Mine time!
" I was incredibly impressed when the first images of the LEGO Minecraft sets surfaced. And when I saw 'The mine', it was automatically on my Christmas list.
The build: 'The mine' includes six (6) bags, Steve, zombie, creeper, skeleton, and spider. This set includes six (6) modular sections, which can be rearranged and swapped out. The bottom sections have rails, the middle parts are connected by a bridge, and while the left side has a hallway with cobweb and a waterfall, the right has a hallway, a latter and the start of the rail system. Finally, the top two layers are also connected by a bridge.
The left side has ore and TNT. The right side has a latter, and a chest with bread. The top surfaces also have a ground level, each with a tree.

The minifigures: 'The mine' includes three minifigures, if you don't count the brick built spider and creeper. All figures look great, and the printing replicates the real deal. The spider has eight (8) legs, and each is articulated. Steve, the zombie and skeleton have the same head, a new mold, and as of now, exclusive to the Minecraft line.
The creeper isn't poseable, albeit the head does move.
The skeleton can be placed on the spider, forming a spider jokey.
Over all, this set is a breath-taker! "

It's mining time!
" This set is a great one, and perfectly represents minecraft.
The micro world includes two 'micro mobs', and both the creeper and Steve have excellent printing.
Many one-by-one SNOTs (studs not on top) are used, most of them green and tan. My only complaint is that the gold and diamonds in the set don't look like them. The diamonds are made of two cheese wedges on top of a clear two-by-one, and at first I thought it to be diamonds.
Gold is a two-by-one (SNOT) golden ingot stacked upon a black two-by-one. I think that LEGO could have made these more recognizable.
The caves are great, and they include lava, water, diamonds, gold, and many other cool aspects make it truly awesome.
Overall, the forest micro world is great, and something all Minecraft and LEGO fans alike will love. 8.75/10 "
