fff Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Nice Review Set not perfect but awesome When is it out? Quote
Sirens-of-Titan Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Great review! The Anubis guardians are gonna be a hot item on bricklink I can see these going for 12$ each The figures are fantastic and the design is good, but I feel that base takes up over half of the build therefore, only the top of the pyramid is a structure the rest might as well be a platform, its clever and saves on parts but for 100$, I'm a little disappointed with it Quote
jazzbricks Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 want this set so bad but not in uk till jan Quote
buddy Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Great review, Hinckley! I really like this set, though I doubt I will be getting it, because I'm more of a City collector. Very well done on the review. Nice Review Set not perfect but awesome When is it out? I think it is officially released in January 2011. ~buddy~ Edited November 22, 2010 by buddy Quote
Dr. Marc Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Wow. Awesome review. This set looks very nice. I love the dark red colour on the truck. Also, the new molds look pretty, and useful! I will definitely consider getting this set. Thanks again for the review! Quote
Hinckley Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 Some requested pics (which have been added to the review as well) The new sword piece (I know somebody said the name somewhere but I can't seem to find it ): Side shots: I also added a poll for this set too, so if you haven't already voted on it, please do so. Thanks Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 The new sword piece (I know somebody said the name somewhere but I can't seem to find it ): It is called Khopesh. Quote
Nikola Bathory Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) It is called Khopesh. khopesh or khepesh. The set is great, only the stickers are a bad idea, it wasn't like that in the 80's, we had printed parts then! Anyway, this set is great and I can't wait to have it! The review is very good apart from one major mistake. Hinckley, you don't know what a minaret and an obelisk is! No offence, but please edit your review and correct this! edit: now I see that it was edited. Edited November 23, 2010 by Nikola Bathory Quote

No offence, but please edit your review and correct this! We had already addressed this. And forgive me, oh wise one, I had just spent four months in Malaysia. Quote
Ogre Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Great review...as usual. LOL Love the parts...not so sure about the set as a whole...though I DO love the scorpion (but, then again, I have a thing for scorpions, so...). Can't help but drool over those Anubis warrior figs though. OMG, they rock!!!!!! I'd love to have an army of those...even if it's just a couple of squads. Maybe LEGO will release a second wave of PQ and we'll get some Anubis warriors in a battle pack. *fingers crossed* Quote
Big Cam Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Man TLG really stepped it up with this theme, so many cool new molds. This ones seems a bit expensive for what you get, but that is more and more LEGO's style. Awesome review, its like I own it too. Quote
indyman09 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Whaat. Super review! You've showed every awesome feature in this set. A bit sad that it's so expensive. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Love the new pics. I really like that the scorpion looks very integrated into the architecture of the pyramid design and colour-wise. I think they have taken on board the lessons learned from the Atlantis guardians. Quote
Leo-J Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 The Anubis fig and death mask piece kick big behind! Quote
SpaceNinjaDino Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 This is probably the closest Stargate (movie) set we'll see (tossing the insect aside for Clash of the Titans). I enjoy the unprinted base plate so I could have a tan moon base, tan raised castle, etc. Mechanical sliding doors is something I always fascinate over. The tan and blue parts really make me love the set. I ordered two from TRU last night. Quote
Isaac5 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Great! now I need to save up for this! that means that I can't buy any LEGO for several months! Quote
gus Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Great! now I need to save up for this! that means that I can't buy any LEGO for several months! It'll be well worth it when you do, I picked up this set a week ago, it's really a fantastic set. Good luck on your mission! Quote
Santhor Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks for the great review! The only thing to make PQ better, in my opinion, is to have a new Kilroy (I think that's his name)-character. While the mummies are certainly worthy adversaries, a bad guy wanting the treasure for himself would be great. Especially if he had henchmen. -Santhor Quote
ziljin Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Originally I was not interested in this theme because I thought it was just treasure hunters vs treasure hunters. But there are mummy warriors? Awesome. I must get this set and other sets in PQ theme. Quote
tattie bogle Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 really looking forward to this seen it on ebay but i feel its too much to pay for postage when i this availiable in the uk. Quote
nicoga3000 Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 So I bought this sort of on impulse last night, and wow. I've already had a thing for the Egyptian themed "stuff", so this fits my style. After getting the set put together, I was excited to put it on my display shelf as a boxed set I will probably NOT be taking apart for pieces. :). Oh, and the Anubis minifigs are my favorite thus far. 100% worth the cash on this one. Quote
Santhor Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for the great review. I kind of wish that on the half-track it would have a 1x2 1-hollow stud plate (forgot the specific name) instead of having the turret/machine gun to the left side. Also, I note that it has a dark bley Exo-Force robot claw, instead of an increasingly common black one. IMO, it kind of breaks up the "flow" of colors on it. By the way, I need an army of the Anubi (plural for Anubis?) now too! -Santhor Quote
Athos Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I got this set for Xmas. Finally put it together. I really liked the set. Though there are some parts that don't feel complete. Like the open pit on the bottom right. A 6x6 plate would have made this a lot better. And the snake pit thing also seems like an after thought. I wish the stickers were printed too. But even with all that, I still like the set. The figures are really nice, particularly the Anubites. Steve Quote
Fires-storm Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Ok, wow! Thank you for this excellent review, the thing that stands out the most for me in this set is (of course) The Jackals! I think that after seeing this I may well have to go out and grab one.....two....three.....*smacks self* Yes, one! Thanks for the review mate! Edited January 19, 2011 by Fires-storm Quote
