LEGO Minecraft The Panda Nursery (21158)

My son received this Minecraft LEGO set as a birthday gift, and now he is a huge fan of legos. This set is really cute, especially the little panda bears. There are a lot of little pieces but it is easy and fun to build! The directions that are included are easy for kids to follow, as they are pictures, showing you exactly how to build the set, piece by piece. I would recommend this product, my 8 year old son loves it!

A favorite Minecraft set

The pandas are a one of a kind, my son collects Minecraft legos and they make certain sets that they only put special animals in and this is one that in the future will be impossible to find. I ended up buying him several for the pandas alone. It worked out great for his Minecraft world he is buying. Unlike some of our other sets the pandas don't fall apart easily. The heads can easily be popped back on and the bamboo can fit in their hands. The pandas can be placed sitting or standing.

Great Minecraft set for our 8yo birthday boy

Our son really enjoyed building this set, and loves the little pandas and clever moving parts. Good value for a smaller Lego set. Myer delivery was swift as always.

Great Value, Excellent Mobs, Odd design decisions:

While reviewing this LEGO set I will go over the value, characters/buildable figures, playability, design, and overall opinion.Value: I believe the value is excellent and is on point with the part count. $20 for about 200 pieces is extremely reasonable and worth it.Characters/Buildable figures: I am a bit biased-sided on the fact that Steve and Alex are in way to many sets however I see Lego has indeed reviewed feedback in their past sets and are adding new custom skin minifigures so I'm happy Alex is in at least just one or two of this year's new Lego Minecraft sets! I find Alex's face print to feel a bit cheaper than in the past but nothing is to worry about Alex here. The ocelot uses studs for feet compared to flowered-studs which doesn't affect my feelings ... MoreWhile reviewing this LEGO set I will go over the value, characters/buildable figures, playability, design, and overall opinion.Value: I believe the value is excellent and is on point with the part count. $20 for about 200 pieces is extremely reasonable and worth it.Characters/Buildable figures: I am a bit biased-sided on the fact that Steve and Alex are in way to many sets however I see Lego has indeed reviewed feedback in their past sets and are adding new custom skin minifigures so I'm happy Alex is in at least just one or two of this year's new Lego Minecraft sets! I find Alex's face print to feel a bit cheaper than in the past but nothing is to worry about Alex here. The ocelot uses studs for feet compared to flowered-studs which doesn't affect my feelings for the model other than it is a very well made model. The pandas are made EXTREMELY well! They can articulate their heads up and down and can get much possibility out of them that represents what they do ingame including rolling around, sitting straight up and also munching on bamboo which is included in this set. While a fish is included in this set I can't exactly tell what type of fish it is, perhaps it is up to the imagination of the builder to decide that. I would prefer taking the ocelot out for a massable hostile mob but overall great figures!Playability: The playability here doesn't exactly consist of any play features or anything but it does require the imagination of the builder which is just what LEGO Minecraft is always excellent at providing. They include a fish to tame or feed the ocelot, bamboo for the Pandas, and easy to remove bamboo that can be used to feed the pandas. Once again something like a zombie would give the nursery potential danger to be aware of thus is why I would recommend a hostile mob for any set that could include one. There does also include a 2x4 jumper plate in which you could connect it to other sets, and with a $20 set like this it is perfect as an expansion to other LEGO Minecraft worlds.Design: Everything here so far has been splendid on what has been provided however something bugs me and that is the design. Don't get me wrong, it's very well done the way the bamboo is made as well as the new moldings for the panda heads. Those all definitely support the design. Something like the cake could've easily been 2 2x2s placed on top of each other like in The Village LEGO Minecraft set where a square cake IS included. Another design flaw I find questionable is how the dirt under the 4x10 plate leaves a bunch of empty space. Again with imagination builders can imagine that they can hide the fish inside that hidden area, however this designed almost play-feature isn't exactly shown on the box or anything. It doesn't ruin the build however I believe a couple bricks could've easily been there instead of 1x2 cheese slopes and a black plate. The small base area that stands above the nursery doesn't feel the most complete, rather feels fairly boring in comparison to other LEGO Minecraft builds, these pieces of player build structure should be easily reconfigurable into whatever you want just like in Minecraft and I feel it is a bit of a missed opportunity to see that. I feel the base could've easily been replaced with some tree or terrain. Overall while design is very questionable it doesn't ruin the build as a whole.Overall in my opinion I believe this set deserves a 4/5 stars. It has excellent minifigures (with the exception of Alex, but yet again Alex IS Alex), excellent value at $20, nice set to get some fairly uncommon-to-get mobs, and some odd, questionable design choices. I feel the base could be replaced with trees and some terrain to give this set more of a larger scope like the other $20 sets currently avaliable. If you are new to LEGO Minecraft this set is unfortunately not for you, it is a bit too pricey for something that won't full convince you to purchase more sets, fan of pandas? Great this set is for you! If you have been purchasing LEGO Minecraft sets for a long while, this set is great for you if you want some extra jungle land and pandas! As well as bamboo. This set offers some new for longtime fans and average enjoyment for newer fans of LEGO Minecraft.(4/5) Thank you and have a wonderful day! :D

Great imagination toy

Bought for my Granddon who’s five. He can build this himself and loves playing imaginary games, being a keeper and feeding the panda. He also included it in with his other Minecraft Lego. Can’t fault Lego brand. I used to play with it myself 60 years ago!! Even better choice now. I love it

It's a panda nursery.

Who doesn't want a lego Panda nursery? I thought that yellow guy was a red panda at first... but my kids say it's a yellow panda... sooooooo it is yellow; according to rando wordpress website (google this):"Yellow Red Panda:Ecology: The Yellow Red Panda is not a yellowish-red panda, it is a red panda that is yellow. It usualy is sleeping, eating, or relaxing. It is a very calm creature. It doesn’t do much. But it is probobly the most adorable thing on earth as well.Food: It usualy eats bamboo leaves, or berries.Habbitat: It lives in remote parts of China, Japan, and also resides very rare in Michigan and Yellowstone National Park.Status: Endangered!"I'll but it.

Love It!!

As a LEGO and Minecraft lover, this set is amazing, There is room for improvement. It would have been a really cool design for the pandas to have a stud for a tail. This would be super cute but also allow them to sit and stay in place. Some more of the clear water pieces would also be a nice addition.

Panda Minecraft Set

Cute set and easy to build! This was a birthday gift for my daughter who adores pandas and loves playing Minecraft. I'm just now noticing the cake! It's perfect! Legos have always been a fun way to pass the time at home.

Perfect Started LEGO Set

My 6 year old daughter is just getting into LEGOs and already enjoys playing Minecraft. This was the first LEGO set she has built by herself and constantly plays with it, building new structures from the included pieces. I would highly recommend for someone looking to get their kid involved with simple and fun LEGO builds.
