LEGO 21174 Minecraft The Modern Treehouse

Wer Minecraft Lego gut findet - kommt am Baumhaus nicht vorbei

My daughter loves lego and minecraft. Great set with lots of features.

Kinder haben viel Spaß mit dise Lego.

This is one of Lego’s more recent Minecraft releases. The build is two towers linked together around two trees. It is not that impressive looking and looks quite plain (even allowing for typical blockiness), with some technic bricks exposed which really don’t look Minecraft. The first room is accessed via a very short ladder- this is a bedroom with atorch. Only just higher and off to the side on the other tree is a bathroom. The next bedroom sits above a bit of canopy. Some of the ladders are more for detail rather than access as they don’t span the gaps fully. There are some sofa areas, some TNT, a library, a treasure set and then a roof canopy.Each room slides off the two tree trunks vertically. The canopy can be added without the rooms to make two plain rooms. Or the rooms can be added back in, at different heights and rotations. The roof comes off most rooms but they are fairly open so this isn’t really needed for access.The set also comes with 2 players with ocelot and panda skins, a zombie, a creeper (charged with trans blue colouring), a cat, two chickens (one wings down, one wings flapping) and an egg.Slightly disappointed by this set.

This set was seriously exciting, combining my love of both Minecraft and Lego! Obviously Lego is by far the best medium for making "real life" Minecraft models, and this didn't disappoint, even though initially I thought it was a bit of a plain build - it actually turned out to be one of the best sets I've put together recently.The construction is pretty modular, based around two really solid tree trunks, set in a mixed terrain footing. The trunks are seriously solid, making the finished model really sturdy. There are four main rooms or layers that can fit onto the tree trunks - and quite possibly the best bit is they can go on in any order facing in whatever direction you like. Might not sound like much, but gives loads of configuration options for the finished product so me and the kids have been setting it up in various way depending on how we fancy. There are two level tree tops to go on top of each of the main tree trunks.There are two main humans, one panda and one, I think, yellow bear as well as a creeper and a zombie. The set also comes loads of cool little extras like some chickens (damn near identical to the actual Minecraft ones), sword, pickaxe, cat, fish, some furniture and possibly best of all a TNT block and a reversible furnace/cooker! There are a load of other bits and bobs like vines and plants to scatter around. The one thing I really like about this model (and Minecraft as well I guess) is how you can use such simple blocks to make something so good - it really is made up of very basic Lego pieces, but works perfectly in this set.I'm genuinely really pleased with this set - it's not the cheapest, but it will take pride of place on a shelf and be regularly rearranged. I'm seriously tempted to get some more Lego Minecraft figures to go in it, as well as perhaps extending the building with another set. This was a properly fun build and an excellent finished model!
