Haha I’m a hardcore Star Wars fan and popped into the Lego store for Aug 1st, of course getting the at-te the minute it releases. I also got obi wans starfighter, but wanted to get to the £150 promo threshold. So I picked up this little set as my 1st Minecraft set in maybe 8 years. I LOVE IT. It’s such a cool set, I felt like a little kid again using all the play features. So yes you are right, this is PERFECT for starting out your collection!
Love this! It was a great day for Star Wars fans for sure, but it's so awesome you found some joy in the Minecraft line as well. I do need to pick up that Starfighter at some point.
Nice to see that copper ore finally made an entrance, alongside music discs, dripstone, and clay! Now all we need is an official jukebox build/print, to jam out to.
That's what I was saying, we have copper ore for the first time. Also great idea for a jukebox print. Can LEGO make the music discs that can be inserted in a jukebox. XD
This set looks really nice! I like LEGO’s version of the drip stone cave, and I really think it would be cool to see your take on it too! Great job on the review! :)
I've been playing a lot more of the recent versions of the game lately, and I do really enjoy stumbling upon a Dripstone Cave. I think it would be great fun to try and recreate in LEGO. I'd probably use medium nougat too, though I do understand why LEGO went with dark tan.
If you were looking for sets with cool play features from recent sets, I would check out the ruined portal set. It is a great display peices and play piece for its main function!
It makes me really happy they made another spawner build. You said this one was perfect for getting someone into LEGO Minecraft, and the zombie dungeon build got me into LEGO Minecraft. This videos are always so fun to watch, every time I check my notifications, I look for the Cheesey Studios logo. Right when I see it, I already know what I'll be watching on RUclips. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work!
That's so cool that the OG dungeon got you into the theme! That was a great starter set back in it's day. Hope this set can be the same for a new wave of fans! So glad you enjoy the videos ❤
With the falling dripstone thing, there is a less ugly version with gravel in the 2018 Zombie Cave set. I actually got the Zombie Cave set for $10 AUD (Around $6USD). Great review!
Very exited for this set and the new abandon village set and lego have out done themselves for the the last few waves compared to most of the sets before
Picked this set up early from my local LEGO store the other day along with the rest of the August wave, and was pleasantly surprised with the build. Feels like you're getting the same amount of physical volume and play value as 21186 The Ice Castle, but at $50 AUD instead of $80...
Ice Castle looks great, but it's quite bland. You get the flick-fire missiles I feel and that's about it. Though I do want those glazed terracotta tiles...
@@CheeseyStudios I'm actually building it as we speak! The glazed terracotta definitely seems to be the most interesting thing in the set, but the mobs are a welcome addition to my steadily growing army, and more medium/bright light blue is always nice to have. Very bland otherwise.
I love the quality of the videos. I like how you point every good parts of the sets insted of the bad ones. You, are one of the people who still put love in lego. The best youtube lego channel. Let's have a moment and respect his heart put in his videos.
It's a cool set, and it comes with rare colors at an affordable price! What more could you want? Oh, what's that? You want tons of skeletons? Well it comes with 3!!!! Best set for skeleton army building(I know army building is more star wars but like you need tons of zombies, skeletons, and creepers if you're making a minecraft lego moc)!
The thing that I love about lego sets is how clever the designers can be when designing functions . the more interesting it is, the more intrigued i am. But my favorite sets are sets that are small (like most minecraft sets) that have many functions.
Lego have out done it again! This set has a lot of mobs, play features and some absolutely fantastic techniques to create this Environment. I think the perfect price for this is $34.99 for as much as you get its a good deal! None the less great review as always.
Picked up both the new MC sets while on a trip and I am so excited to have them built and set up with the rest of my minecraft stuff. Excellent review as always, your passion for the theme is contagious and its always a treat watching your videos!
I personally don’t buy much anymore, but Lego mc is one of the greatest themes. One small fix for this set is if the covered up the exposed circle in the spawning corner with a green jumper to represent moss carpet, then that would make since
I really wanted to get this set, but I have been working on a GIGANTIC Lego Minecraft overworld and Lego table and I dont have any room for a cave. but I think once I have finished I will buy this set and then rebuild my zombie dungeon!
This set is pretty cool, it has a surprising number of play features for a relatively small set. Also, the second cave biome is called a dripstone cave.
“Why do I always blank, when I’m in the middle of the recording…” I hear you brother, lol. In anyways great video, did’ a good job with this review, glad you got it early!
This is a set I'm hyped for! We get dripstone and some more items from lush caves and the inclusion of 3 skeletons is perfect since I want to build up my mob army
It's nice to see a Minecraft set with so many non-TNT play features. I'm still annoyed about how lazy they can be. "Hey, can you think of a play feature for this set?" "Nope. How about you?" "Me neither, that's why I asked. I guess we'll just use TNT again." I mean, I get that some biomes/structures lack any real interactivity in-game, but they could at least TRY something other than TNT. Or just not have any play features. Not every set needs one.
@@CheeseyStudios @Cheesey Studios i have an idea on how you should do any ocean themed monuments is by making everything sort of underwater like making it have blue fog or like add water creatures (ex Fish pufferfish, Drowned zombies) Just a thought hope you enjoy the idea
Man this reminds of the zombie dungeon so much I mean I once had that set but out of nowhere when I finished it for some reason the pieces weren't put together and I was disappointed maybe ill get that skeleton dungeon set someday when it's out
Oooh that explains it! Huh I thought it wouldn't stay together because one of employees did bad packaging to the bags or boxes or the pieces at least well finally glad I now know why it was unstable
I really didn't think that LEGO will do so many play features in a Minecraft set. I love this set. Also you missed the copper ore. (The Nether Bastion VS The Skeleton Dungeon) Actually that kinda rhymed XD
I was lucky enough to get the zombie dungeon and while I was building my nether fortress I destroyed my set to repourpose the spawner as a blaze spawner, wish I waited now
Awesome! What if you incorporated the spawner into the Minecraft world? You could have an entrance be hidden in the world and practically have the same spawner design.
Just built this and omg, I love it. It's so compact and full of detail. I kinda want to make a video comparing this to the old one but I'm unsure how to approach it.

Yes good idea
sometimes it's a shame that Lego makes few mobs like a slime parrot wither boss
That's what I was saying, we have copper ore for the first time. Also great idea for a jukebox print. Can LEGO make the music discs that can be inserted in a jukebox. XD
@nathan marcus
they can’t, it would not work with bricks and if they do, fans would complain because it won’t be accurate
@@hyper_extra4849 oh ok, thanks
the fally downy one
The zombie dungeon set came out 8 YEARS ago??! Man I feel old, but this looks like a more-than-worthy successor to it!
I sometimes can't believe how long this theme's been going!
@@CheeseyStudios I personally think it’s over-hated, it has fantastic value for a branded set
This set looks really nice! I like LEGO’s version of the drip stone cave, and I really think it would be cool to see your take on it too! Great job on the review! :)
I like that you have a :) face at the end of your message
Gotta be something we can do with the unicorn horn piece
I wonder if the color could be something else. I think medium nougat would be closer but then it would be same as wood.
@@User-xp4kl Yeah, the color feels off, but I’m not sure what would work better.
I've been playing a lot more of the recent versions of the game lately, and I do really enjoy stumbling upon a Dripstone Cave. I think it would be great fun to try and recreate in LEGO. I'd probably use medium nougat too, though I do understand why LEGO went with dark tan.
Ah yes, my favorite Minecraft biomes. The fally-downy one and the ground fluff one.
both very biomey if you ask me
@@CheeseyStudios what about the snowey heighty one
That's a really cool set, and it feels so much like the zombie dungeon in a modern minecraft way!
It would be so cool if we got some more 'remakes' like this of the 2014-2015 sets!
If you were looking for sets with cool play features from recent sets, I would check out the ruined portal set. It is a great display peices and play piece for its main function!
That's a great one for sure! And I love the purple sheep!!
Lego minecraft sets are amazing
They really are, especially this year's sets!
It makes me really happy they made another spawner build. You said this one was perfect for getting someone into LEGO Minecraft, and the zombie dungeon build got me into LEGO Minecraft.

Definitely picking up this set looks amazing, thanks for trying hard to make these AMAZING videos for us viewers. You have to be my favorite RUclipsr.
I love making these! So glad you enjoy the videos ❤
With the falling dripstone thing, there is a less ugly version with gravel in the 2018 Zombie Cave set. I actually got the Zombie Cave set for $10 AUD (Around $6USD). Great review!
Sweet deal!
I love this set! Can't wait to get my copy! Thank you Caleb, great review!
So glad you enjoyed! You're really gonna like this set
This set is great for parting out to make custom builds especially if you get multiple, the lush caves and dripstone pieces are very useful
It's a great parts pack for sure! Lots of useful stuff in here
I really love the way they did the azalea bushes they look AMAZING
Yeah, it's a pretty cool design!
I love watching your Lego Minecraft set reviews your so clear and I love the style.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoy these ❤
Good set especialy as starter set.
Love the spelunker fig!
The figure is really great! They do such a great job with these
Very exited for this set and the new abandon village set and lego have out done themselves for the the last few waves compared to most of the sets before
Indeed! The step up in quality has been fantastic
I’m new to Lego and Lego Minecraft and I’m gonna get this set! Love your professional reviews and Lego skills! This set looks great and is very fun!
That's awesome! You're in for a treat with this one. Happy building! And thank you for the kind words ❤
@@CheeseyStudios thanks! Appreciate your work goodbye for now! I can’t wait for new vids!

They packed so much into this!

Im unreasonably happy about sand blue clay
Ha! It's a pretty good fit for sure
It's a cool set, and it comes with rare colors at an affordable price! What more could you want? Oh, what's that? You want tons of skeletons? Well it comes with 3!!!!
Best set for skeleton army building(I know army building is more star wars but like you need tons of zombies, skeletons, and creepers if you're making a minecraft lego moc)!
Very true! It does feel like a Skeleton battle pack 😂
For a little set, there are so many play features. Nice looking set. Great job
The thing that I love about lego sets is how clever the designers can be when designing functions . the more interesting it is, the more intrigued i am. But my favorite sets are sets that are small (like most minecraft sets) that have many functions.
The designers are brilliant! The contraptions made this set so much fun
the lego zombie spawner set was my first lego set and is nice to see it revisited
Yeah! I hope they revisit a few more of the earlier sets too. We're definitely due for a Stronghold again!
Lego have out done it again! This set has a lot of mobs, play features and some absolutely fantastic techniques to create this Environment. I think the perfect price for this is $34.99 for as much as you get its a good deal! None the less great review as always.
Thank you! This has gotta be one of my top 10 Minecraft sets for sure
I haven’t bought ANY LEGO MC sets but I think I’m gonna pick this one up, it’s just so cool
Yeah, this is a great one to start with! Even if you part it out eventually, it has a bunch of great pieces for your collection
That’s a really cool set. The drip stone are really cool, and I like the drip leaves. Great review!
Thanks!
Really love both of the new lego minecraft sets getting them day one
They're both really solid sets!
That spawner skeleton looks like Mr. House going "mmm chip"
Oh wow this is super cool! Great Review!
Thank you!
I like the spawning mechanism, it's a lot smoother than the last one
Definitely! It just looks so clean too
LEGO finally made a set that is accurate to the game!
They did a really great job with this one
This feels like a better rehash of the original, and that it an enchanted iron helmet if i am not mistaken.
Picked up both the new MC sets while on a trip and I am so excited to have them built and set up with the rest of my minecraft stuff. Excellent review as always, your passion for the theme is contagious and its always a treat watching your videos!
Thank you ❤ Happy building!
I love how you put the Minecraft music in the background
I gotchu homie - the Minecraft soundtrack slaps
Seeing these Minecraft sets are really cool! The Minecraft theme isn't really available in my country so I'm really inspired to make my own vignettes!
Aw, that's too bad you can't get these easily. But of course it's great you can always build your own!
Honestly, my favourite part is the disc! It looks awesome!
I am very excited to finally get one too! Wish my print wasn't so offset 😪
@@CheeseyStudios that's sad😥
Lushcave and dripstonecave in one set!! I love this set!
It's so good! I love that there's so much going on. It's a pretty good-looking Minecraft set!
I'll be picking this set up! I've been waiting for a spawner remake for a while
It was definitely about time! I love how tgey incorporated one of the oldest structures with some of the newest biomes
8 years? Damn, I remember getting the old one for my birthday. It’s wrecked now, maybe I’ll get this one for my Lego World
It's crazy to think the theme has been going this long 😂
@@CheeseyStudios yeah
I personally don’t buy much anymore, but Lego mc is one of the greatest themes. One small fix for this set is if the covered up the exposed circle in the spawning corner with a green jumper to represent moss carpet, then that would make since
LEGO has done such great work with this theme. So glad glad it's stuck around so long!
I do hope I can pick this one up. It reminds me so much of that 2014 one which was my first Minecraft set.
That's so cool! I do love the callback to the original set. Wouldn't mind a few more remakes of those earliest sets
That would be very cool to see!
Great review!! And I LOVE this set!!
Thank you! I really like this set too
Wow this set is amazing. Lego is definitely stepping up on their Lego Minecraft sets.
Indeed! I've been super impressed with the summer sets. Looking forward to what January brings!
It cant be, how can a set be so amazing wow
This one's the whole package in my opinion!
i like how positive you are in your reviews. a lot of other reviewers just focus on the bad and it's refreshing to hear your positive feedback :)
I just love LEGO sets, ha! I'm glad others enjoy the positivity too.
I would love to see you build your own version of the mob spawner like you did with the iron golem and add it to the minecraft world.
Good idea!
This wave was so good. Can't wait for the next one
The January wave is gonna be pretty big from what I hear. Super excited to see what it has in store for us!
I wonder if Lego will let players make custom Lego Minecraft skins based on their skins in-game. That would be super cool
I've always wondered that too. Might be a pain to moderate, but I feel it could be quite popular!
Looks super cool can’t wait to grab this one
You'll definitely enjoy it!
amazing review I can't wait to pick up the set for myself!
You'll definitely enjoy this one! Such a great parts pack
Amazing review as always, plus this set looks amazing! Also did anybody see that copper ore?!
Whoops, I meant to mention that, but to be totally honest, there's not too much to say. Looks just about right to me!
I love this sett it’s everything you are pointing out a solid minecraft one I’m thankful to see it
I'm so happy for that new mold for the chest
Me too! It's perfect
I really wanted to get this set, but I have been working on a GIGANTIC Lego Minecraft overworld and Lego table and I dont have any room for a cave. but I think once I have finished I will buy this set and then rebuild my zombie dungeon!
Sounds like a really cool project!
The design is so well done! And the drip leaves + drip stones were so interesting! I will definitely be picking this set up!! ❤️
It's a really good one - you'll definitely enjoy it!
I love getting here early! These videos are always worth getting there quickly! :D
Glad you got here, even with the unusual upload time, ha!
This set is pretty cool, it has a surprising number of play features for a relatively small set. Also, the second cave biome is called a dripstone cave.
Don't worry, it took me a bit, but I figured it out lol
“Why do I always blank, when I’m in the middle of the recording…” I hear you brother, lol. In anyways great video, did’ a good job with this review, glad you got it early!
What was it last time? Oh yeah! The Warped Forest I blanked on too.. Oh well lol
“Human nature” I guess lol
Always enjoy your videos and set comparisons even if I'm not much into the mine craft line
Glad you can still get something out of it! I know the theme was quite the acquired taste for me, so I do understand why people don't like it.
@@CheeseyStudios not as much don't like just have to.limit and most other themes I can fit into a city someway eventually
Nice to see that you managed to pick this up early! Although I thought you said that the pillager outpost build would come out on July 31st?
This weekend is gonna be crazy, that's all I'll say 👀
@@CheeseyStudios 🥳
This is a set I'm hyped for! We get dripstone and some more items from lush caves and the inclusion of 3 skeletons is perfect since I want to build up my mob army
It's such a good set! Great army builder for sure
I will get it myself so thanks for the review
No problem! I think you'll really enjoy this one
I really like the sets design and u reviewed it super good well done brother
Thank you!
@@CheeseyStudios no problem man keep up the great work
Had the old set and I have to say I really want to build it again :D
I think I might have to rebuild mine too! I want to see how they compare

We just bought this set and waiting for it to arrive! We like your review.
You're in for a treat! This is such an amazing set. ❤️
Nice video, always great to take a sort break and watch one of your review videos :)
Thank you! Glad to hear you like them :D
I thought this was a moc build at first for the series! Looks nice for the set!
Keep up the good work with your amazing videos!
Thank you so much!
Nice set. Currently only building Star Wars and Castle, but I'm thinking more and more about Minecraft mocs 😄
Do ittttt :D :D
Idk why I laugh so hard when I saw the mini skeleton
He's a funky lookin' dude xD
The Zombie Dungeon was released eight years ago? Dang, I'm old
I feel the same lol
Looks amazing!
I know, right? I was so impressed with this set!
Cool set because it is and caves and cliffs thememaybe it can be attached in other set lol
Definitely getting this one
Yes! It's such a good kit
The turntable wall is very cool
Right? This set is so fun!
amazing as always
Thank you!
Now we can build a skeleton army!
Gotta love this skeleton battle pack, ha!
Yes I will be picking this lovely set up it looks amazing
Awesome! You won't regret it
Man this reminds of the zombie dungeon so much I mean I once had that set but out of nowhere when I finished it for some reason the pieces weren't put together and I was disappointed maybe ill get that skeleton dungeon set someday when it's out

Oooh that explains it! Huh I thought it wouldn't stay together because one of employees did bad packaging to the bags or boxes or the pieces at least well finally glad I now know why it was unstable
You should do a little bit of a dripstone cave with the deep dark. Oh, and what cha know about rollin down in the deep(dark)
I do need to get to a Dripstone Cave eventually for my custom stuff!
A snowy peaks set would be nice
That would be really cool! More goats!
I really didn't think that LEGO will do so many play features in a Minecraft set. I love this set. Also you missed the copper ore.
(The Nether Bastion VS The Skeleton Dungeon)
Actually that kinda rhymed XD
Yeah, I totally forgot to mention the ore, but there isn't too much to say about it to be completely honest 😂
Omg I love it and can you review the second new sets pls
Yeah! I'll probably release it Monday
I was lucky enough to get the zombie dungeon and while I was building my nether fortress I destroyed my set to repourpose the spawner as a blaze spawner, wish I waited now
The beauty of LEGO is that you can always build it back! :D
Love the video, keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
2:10
Funfact that skin was actually designed by the youtuber Snifferish for LEGO con.
I cant wait to Pick this set up its Just awesome 😄.
Yo what? That's awesome!
Awesome! What if you incorporated the spawner into the Minecraft world? You could have an entrance be hidden in the world and practically have the same spawner design.
That would be really cool!
This set is 🔥
Right?! This is peak LEGO Minecraft
@@CheeseyStudios fr I might buy
I am indeed picking up this set next week
Hype!
I was going to get it tomorrow but it's out of stock :(
What a beautiful set! Im gonna buy it tomorrow and review it too!
Awesome!
Just built this and omg, I love it. It's so compact and full of detail. I kinda want to make a video comparing this to the old one but I'm unsure how to approach it.
Yeah, they are pretty different sets! I do love this new one too though
