21130 The Nether Railway

 

Set Number: 21130
Theme: Minecraft
Minifigures: 2, Also Big Magma Cube and Small Magma Cube
Piece Count: 387
Price: USD $29.99

 

Hello Eurobricks. I purchased this set for the parts without intending to build it. I was pleased with the contents of the set and decided to take a moment to share a few photos with you.  As I am writing this the official parts list is not available from Lego, so I am hopeful that this quick look at the parts helps some of you decide whether or not you'd like to buy this set.

The set is made of components that are able to rearrange for several layout possibilities, which looks fun to play with. If I didn't need a lot of these parts for a current MOC I would have built and played with this set. 

 

 

The small Magma Cube is a standard Minecraft minifig head. 

 

Lots of useful dark red.

 

Curved tiles! And something new and interesting...

Plate 2x2 with 2 45º corners, one stud and 2/3 height tenon? Or Plate 2x2 pentagonal with one stud? I'm not sure what to call it but I look forward to using it.

And you get a very generous 24 of them.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

I take it this is the first set these parts showed up in. (I never seen them before.)

Yes.

This set is pretty awesome. After watching JANGBRiCKS' review I felt this might be the first Minecraft set I want.

I don't like Minecraft and have never played it, but I must say their sets' play features are superb.

I've gotten the several of the sets and I've really liked them. At first I wasn't planning on buying this set, but man once I saw that giant magma cube in action I knew I was sold. I'm even making plans to buy The Wither set just to connect them! The price seems good for what you get. Nice review, It was cool to see what all pieces there is in it!
