My thoughts on 7327 Scorpion Pyramid

This set looks great. My second favourite set at the moment and from the looks of things this set has a lot going on. The Anubis Guards look great and a lot of people can't get enough of them. I think there cool minifigs but their are better ones out their. Jake Rains, he's in a lot of sets. Mac McCloud is quite rare but he can be found in a cheaper set. Another Flying Mummy which is great, the Flying Mummy's are my favourite Mummy's in this theme. Amset-Ra, the main villain of the theme and he's exclusive to this set. Another minifigure exclusive to this set is Prof. Archibald Hale who is great. He is my favourite explorer in this theme in my opinion. The Scorpion reminds me of the Deep Sea Striker from the Atlantis theme, I hope the head is printed. The car looks okay but I like the one from the Rise of the Sphinx better. The Pyramid seems to be built on top of a massive piece which I don't think is new but I might be wrong. I hope there's a lot going on inside but I'll just have to wait and see. I hope to get this set and give my final verdict in the review of it. Please tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme.

My thoughts on 7326 Rise of the Sphinx

This set looks cool. Some people have been complaining that its not accurate to the Sphinx but the part under the Sphinx is called the Temple of Anubis so it makes sense that the head was that of Anubis. Since that's the case it would have been better to include two Anubis Guards instead of two Mummy Warriors. Jake Raines is similar to the one scene in the Flying Mummy Attack except he doesn't have the helmet that he wore in that set. The car looks cool and quite well designed, I like that the engine is uncovered. The Sphinx looks quite good and seems to have a realistic amount of movement. The treasure this time is the Golden Sword which is placed inside the temple. I will do my final verdict when I get this set and review it. Please tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme.

My thoughts on 7325 Cursed Cobra Statue

This set look great. The best minifigure in this set is Helen Skvalling in my opinion. She is exclusive to this set and has a cool hair piece. Another Jake Raines and he's the same as the one in the Scarab Attack. The Snake Charmer Mummy looks cool. He seems to have printing on his headdress and I think the rest of him is the same as any other mummy. The car looks good but I think there are some better ones in other sets. The Cobra seems to have loads of ball joints everywhere which makes him a lot more snake like in appearance. The treasure in this set is the Golden Scarab Shield which is placed under the Cobra's head. I can't wait to get this set and do a final verdictPlease tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme.

My thoughts on 7307 Flying Mummy Attack

This set looks awesome. It is my favourite set at the moment and I don't think I'm going to change my mind about that. It includes a Jake Raines but this time he has aviator headgear and a different body print. The Flying Mummy's look amazing and the best part is that this set comes with two. The obelisk looks cool but I don't think those hieroglyphics are printed. The plane looks spectacular, the plane is the thing that really makes this set the best for me. Unfortunately, it looks like there will be more stickers on the plane but once there on there on and you don't normally have to worry about them. Please tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme. 

My thoughts on 7306 Golden Staff Gaurdians

This set looks quite good in terms of the minifigs. This is the only set that does not include Jake Raines which is good because you need a variety of characters. Instead of Jake Rains you have Mac McCloud who is the engineer of the team. The set also comes with two Mummy Warriors with some cool weapons and nice printing on them. The bike that Mac McCloud rides looks like a classic style bike with a nice colour scheme. The dark red is used on all the vehicles in this theme which is cool. Their is also a little temple wear the Golden Staff is kept. When I get this set I will review it and give you my final verdict on the set. Please tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme. 

My thoughts on 7305 Scarab Attack

This set looks quite good for its size. The Scarab looks well designed with what appears to be printing on its body. Jake Raines looks like a cool minifigure except he comes in almost every set which makes him kinda boring. I would have preferred to have Prof. Archibald Hale instead but I guess that gives me even more reason to get the Scorpion Pyramid. The treasure that everyone wants is the golden crystal in this set, its the same piece that was often seen in Power Miners except this time its in gold which I think is a new colour for that piece. The camp site doesn't look the best but I will have to wait until I get this set to make a final verdict. Please tell me what you think about this set and tell me if your going to get some of the sets in this theme.

My new Blog!

Hi,
Welcome to my blog about the new Lego Pharaoh's Quest theme. Ancient Egypt was always one of my favourite topics in history and I am happy to see some sets based of it in Lego. I also like the WW1 era of vehicles so with this theme I'm getting the best of both worlds. On this blog their will be reviews some of my own stories and much more. Please comment and follow,
matanui,
