Johnny Thunder, Professor
Kilroy and Gabarro sail this fully
equipped river boat up the Amazon rivers. They are searching for ancient
temples hidden in the jungle. There are all sorts of animals in the jungle.
Señor
Palomar and Rudo Villano has already
found a mysterious cave. But they will not get away with the Sun Disc.
Achu
is looking after it and there is even a booby trap.
Appearance
The river boat looks quite natural even if it isn't very large. The
cave is made to look like a big mouth. Enter at your own risk!
Construction
The river boat has plenty of room for four of five minifigs. With two
of these sets you can even make a big boat. The top part of the boat is
easy to remove providing access to downstairs. The palm tree is of the
new type widely know as "Palm Tree Jr". When I first heard people flaming
it, I thought that it could not be that bad. But it really is!
Playability
Sail up the Amazon rivers and dock at the small pier. But the villains
is ready to make an ambush at the cave. Try to take the Ruby and two big
axes will hit you.
Availability
This has been available since 1999. In the US it has been reported
that recent sets have 6 Tan 1x2 45° slopes instead of Yellow ones.
These are used inside cave and at the booby trap. This gives a much nicer
look than the bright yellow slopes.
