“The Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins is made up of four separate entities. These are two baseplates, a balloon, and a truck. Lord Sinister's truck has six wheels. The balloon is very similar to the balloon in a different set. It is built around an octagonal base, with red diagonal... More parts forming walls in it.”

“This is a great set, with great parts, great vehicles, great figures, an excellent theme for playing with and a fun build. Some points of criticism are needed, though. The courtyard area is structurally a little sparse compared to the front, and construction design is... More lacking somewhat in the whole building. This set is mostly facade and little else.”

Help Johnny Thunder explore the tan brick temple, but look out for trap doors. Avoid the Mummy Pharaoh and his skeleton henchmen, or lead Baron von Barron into a trap. Perhaps you can make a daring escape with the hot air balloon. It's up to you, but the choices are limited only by your imagination.This is why this Lego brick set is ideal for children ages 5 and up. The Lego brick set is great for sticklers for instructions as well as those looking to create.
