I’ve always felt that the Lego Minecraft team has been pretty receptive to feedback over the years and let’s be honest there was no way the designers were going to miss the outcry against their hoglin and here in 2024 we’re getting Lego’s response to that outcry so is the new hogland included in the Nether Portal Ambush set an improvement on the old one it most definitely is so hey let’s take a closer look This set was sent to me early by the LEGO Group to review but you can pick yours up starting on January 1st I’ve always really enjoyed the official Lego Minecraft nether based sets the last one that we got would have been the nether Bastion which is probably one of my All-time favorite sets from the theme the location is just always so interesting and there’s always some really great brick build mobs and that’s definitely what we get here and there’s no point dancing around it any longer let’s take a look look at that hogland comparing the original from a few years Ago the two hoglands are basically completely different bobs for this new version Lego has gone all out recoloring multiple Parts into the nougat color that’s nougat mind you not medium nougat to make this thing as perfect as possible and I do pretty much believe this is the perfect rendition of this Mob it retains that delightful head bobbing feature and we get this great printed 2×3 nougat tile it captures so much more detail than that original 1X two printed brick and of course it’s just the right color this time around yeah this thing is absolutely brilliant and I think it’s why I and probably Plenty of you are very very excited about this set to relase in January but it’s not the only mob included here we also get two magma cubes which is fantastic as I feel we haven’t seen them in a set in a while and then we also get The ghast now from what I can tell this Gast is is pretty similar to the one included in 2018s nether portal set but hey don’t fix what ain’t broken this gas uses a lot of the sets pieces no doubt about it but it uses them to great Effect to capture that detailing in the face and of course there’s a function here too just like that 2018 model it can shoot Fire charges unfortunately the mechanism to do that is a bit unsightly there’s this huge Technic axle sticking out the back but the the thing can fire Quite a ways with some Force where’d that go with such Force actually that the whole intent of the set is that you can recreate one of your worst Minecraft nightmares the gas extinguishes the nether portal behind you yes that feature does hit a bit close to home let’s hope the player Included in this set has some flint and steel on him heaven knows I never do the Box describes the player as an Orc Warrior interestingly enough this is actually got to be one of my favorite skins lots of great detail lots of contrast in here too looks fantastic He’s equipped in the set with an enchanted bow and a diamond pickaxe he looks appropriately Fierce for this tough environment as for the rest of the build I mean I’m always down for a Terrain based build so that’s really nice to see here I like the framing That’s done around the nether portal of course this set will be able to attach to the Armory which Lego will not ship out of the warehouse for some reason so you’re going to have to wait till I review that set to see them combined together but on its own it looks great It’s worth noting too that the set does look nice around the back which is always a plus simple as the designs are I like the trees and I think it’s all composed very nicely we get a bit of Basalt Delta over here and then of course the Crimson Forest over here like Many Lego Minecraft sets it’s pretty simple and what you see is what you get at $38 definitely feeling a bit on the Steep side since this set does have a lot more small pieces compared to some other Lego Minecraft sets I don’t think you’ll regret picking this one up at Full price but I also don’t think you’ll regret waiting for that sweet sweet discount somewhere either regardless it’s one of the best sets of the wave and I’m happy very happy it exists and sincerely to whoever made this thank you this looks awesome this is going to make A lot of people happy and oh it’s it’s still just so much fun to play with anyway I’m curious to hear what you think about this set do let me know and have yourself great life I’ll see you Later Video Information
