Hi there!
Last week, the 50th issue of LEGO Minecraft Magazinewas released, and this time it comes with a really great bonus. To celebrate this anniversary issue, it includes an Enderman tin can.
We’re already familiar with these metal tins from past LEGO Star Wars and LEGO NINJAGO sets. Now, Minecraft has finally gotten its first edition featuring one of these tins.
Let’s take a closer look at them.
Let’s get started.
This issue costs €6.99 and includes the Enderman metal tin and a small LEGO bonus. The bonus set consists of an Enderman, an adventurer with a Netherite sword and a diamond helmet, and a small Endermite.
Let’s take a look at the metal can first.
Like the previous cans, it’s made of sturdy sheet metal and looks truly high-quality. In fact, the back of it even feels a bit more premium than the previous versions from other magazine series.
As usual, the back features the legal notices and license information. The front is designed entirely in the shape of an Enderman and, in my opinion, looks really great. It really stands out, especially as a small decorative item on a shelf.
The included LEGO bonus is also quite impressive.
You can craft an Enderman—a little adventurer with a Netherite sword and a diamond helmet—and an Endermite to match the can. The character’s skin looks great, and you can always use an extra Enderman in Minecraft anyway.
When you also consider that for just €6.99 you get two figures, an Endermite, and this really beautiful metal tin, I think you’re getting an excellent overall package here.
Of course, we’ll also take a quick look at the magazine itself.
As always, I’ll skip the comics and puzzles and go straight to the two posters instead.
The first poster is titled “Short Fuse” and shows a whole group of Creepers along with TNT.
The second poster features the words “Just Be Happy” and shows a player alongside two Happy Ghasts.
Both posters are well-designed and fit the Minecraft theme nicely.
Of course, the last page once again features a preview of the next issue. There, we’ll find a Magma Cube as a bonus.
This bonus looks pretty good, too, but for me personally, it doesn’t quite measure up to the anniversary issue.
My Conclusion
I’m really pleasantly surprised.
For €6.99, you get a high-quality metal tin, an Enderman, an adventurer, an Endermite, and, of course, the entire magazine. In my opinion, the value for the price is absolutely right here.
The tin is perfect for small items or simply as a decorative piece on a shelf, and it really sets this issue apart from the regular Minecraft magazines.
I would even recommend that anyone—even those who aren’t the biggest Minecraft fans—take a look at this edition. Precisely because metal cans like this haven’t been released very often, I can easily imagine that this anniversary edition will become appealing to collectors over time and could see its value rise.
Now I’m curious to hear what you think.
Have you already picked up the anniversary edition, and what do you think of the Enderman tin can? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
