legone Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I wouldn't visit a russian site if I were you, your computer probably has a backdoor or trojan on it now. While this is true with a lot of .ru sites, I'm pretty sure your computer (and mine) here in the US already have dozens of backdoors installed right from the factory, or even before that (at the computer chip factories), courtesy of the NSA, FBI, CIA, and China's equivalents, 3 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 They look alright. I don't like Minecraft but I sure hope that they retire the original set. I have a lot of them. So easy to store and nice price. Its a 100$ set easy when it retires IMO. Quote

Have 4 of each. They take up so little room. I might get 2-4 more of each. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 A couple of set build videos I literally stumbled across by accident. They're not Jangbricks or Ufema quality but better than nothing. Quote
DadsAFOL Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 So are these a candidate for the QFLL crowd this Christmas? I imagine that Mexico has been spinning these off the line by the thousands to feed the holiday rush. The sets seem very meh to me. What is the consumer sentiment? Anyone here a member of Minecraft community hearing any buzz about these on other boards? They are too big to display on a shelf. I can't see holding any for long term appreciation. I actually think that the original 4 CUUSOO sets will do better with this new mini fig-scale range out. I think Minecraft superfans will buy one or two of the big ones, play with them a little bit, then decide they want the mini versions to decorate their desk/office/etc. Quote
DadsAFOL Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 When do the full size sets come out? November 1st Quote
mscheaf Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I will probably get a few just in case. But I would not get a bunch just in case they are overproduced. Remember what the mini sets have done at xmas but then also remember that Lego remembers this too and may produce more. What is more powerful? Lego's manufacturing capabilities or the inventory destroying power of the horde? Quote

TheOrcKing Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Here is a New Elementary review for the smallest of the upcoming Minecraft sets, 21113 The Cave. Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Here is a review of them all. Nice video. 2 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Here is a review of them all. Nice video.Cool. That video was cool, those sets were cool, everything was cool. On a more serious note, I totally dug the Crafting Box set soon as I saw the Mooshroom. It includes a nice handful of stuff plus a skeleton which is one character from the line I do like. The First Night offers a great amount to play & build with and The Ender Dragon is going to be a massive hit. Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 With these only available online until 2015. It's screaming Xmas flip 2 Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Just looking around this morning and found on LEGO Minecraft's Facebook page that these will be released online only in US on November 15th. Prices range from 19.99 to 109.99. Quote
Dbroncoboy Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 How do you guys think this impacts the older minecraft sets? Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 How do you guys think this impacts the older minecraft sets?I honestly don't think it will affect them because they are 2 totally different concepts. Christmas sales won't be as high since there are all of these new ones now. I think these sets bring in a lot more people into the market because Micro World's werent that awesome. IMO Quote
mscheaf Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 How do you guys think this impacts the older minecraft sets? Hopefully it speeds up their EOL Quote
Veegs Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 That video definitely encouraged me to think about grabbing a few of these just in case they quickly go OOS. I think the farm/first night are must haves for playability, but for coolness (yes, everything in that video was COOL!) the Ender Dragon does it for me. Even though it isn't the largest set in the line, I think it will do well. The Mine, while bigger, has a lot of similar elements to the smaller sets, and the diamond get-up for Steve looks like it only comes in the Ender Dragon set. Quote
brickolodon Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 i can see new Minecraft sets on S&****, 15 November.... Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 The Ender Dragon isn't on there. Crafting box is the most interesting to me. These will definitely be a hot gift. Quote

LegoManiacc Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Unless TLG has a neverending supply of these, this will be a great Xmas flip imo...kids are going to love them. Edited November 2, 2014 by LegoManiacc Quote
