Description
About this set
The Nether Portal Ambush is a Minecraft scene set in the Crimson Forest. You build a Nether portal surrounded by lava, mushrooms and a brick-built tree, with Nether mobs like a ghast, hoglins and a magma cube. One minifigure is included for the showdown, so there’s plenty to set up and play out.
At 352 pieces and rated 8+, it’s a good fit for kids who love the Nether side of the game. It’s retired now, so new sealed boxes are getting harder to find.
Highlights
- 352 pieces in the box
- Comes with 1 minifigure
