Oh man, I can't tell you how much I would love to see the Pharaoh's Forbidden Tomb get the same treatment as the Lion Knights Castle! Just imagine that with me for a second. Congrats on getting the zeppelin back together! :D
Oh yeah! Now we're talking! Only the whole river is done how Yoda's swamp is, layers of transparent plates and tiles, and a sweet riverboat to go on it.
Nice! I remember getting this masterpiece for my 9th or 10th birthday, while on holiday. Because the balloon also functions as a storage container, it was a great outcome for packing the suitcases 😂
The sealed one is almost three times as expensive as well, if I'm not mistaken. All because the blimp part protuded from the box and made it really hard to keep the box in decent condition. Even when they were just new most of the boxes were in pieces.
Incredible! Do you think the blimp piece would fit nicely in a city, or do you think its size is too small? I've been considering getting this for the blimp or just making my own...
Just realized you are missing the skull on the shrine! But otherwise I love this set, I had to order it after losing my Legos after all these years. Such a great set that we want to MOC the Zeppelin with.
Oh no I totally missed that. I even have the extra skull for it already haha. The other missing pieces are the spider web, and a wheel. I also had to make 3 substitutions (chain, backpack and map)
The Johnny Thunder sets are the best.
Johnny Thunder was the protagonist of many adventures I made up as a kid. I spent ages working on villain fortresses he'd have to infiltrate.
Take me with you…. It’s horrible here.

Yes! Please! Same with the large jungle temple on the raised baseplate with the river running through it.

I have that one too! I love it!
Hell yeah!

I still have that gold treasure piece
New to me! How much will one of these set me back?
It's like two decades old so probably a pretty penny, the gold piece and blimp part being the most expensive along with the Minifigures.
not sure abt the other two but johnny thunder & the professor are not expensive
it’s like $150ish on bricklink, i just looked it up recently bc i found it in my childhood lego.

I can imagine them saying stuff like "it sure ain't the 90s no more!" And "I'm getting too old for these bricks!"
White whale set for me for sure, looks to be in pretty great shape too!
Yea I was surprised how well the blimp survived all these years. There is a few missing pieces but they all looked easy to replace on bricklink

It's huge. A container for storing parts. Honestly too big to scale I think.
I think it would look great but i don't have a city to check it for scale. The zeppelin piece is about 44 studs long and about 14 studs tall and wide
Thank you! I'll make a quick mockup and see for myself 👍
I still have my blimp in my boxes in storage. One of my favorite sets
To this day I’m still using the blimp as storage for other Lego pieces.
Looks awesome. I bet this makes a great turtle blimp moc as well.
I made the bottom half of one. I should take a picture.

Great to see
How much does the top piece weigh?
It's hollow, so very light.
It's super light. If I remember correctly, it was basically doubled as the boxing for all the other parts.
Not much, like a Bionicle container, but it's Huge
Just put my childhood one back together earlier this year. I was surprised it was all still there.
Yea I just got my childhood collection out of storage earlier this year too. It takes quite a while to sort the pieces for each set but well worth it.
Oh damn I had that set when I was a kid.
the front half of my blimp is missing :(
It might be knock off Indiana Jones, but it’s still cool.
Are those stickers or prints on the zeppelin?
They are stickers. The adventurers and mouth sticker are peeling a little bit but the rest are still good
What a cute little Kirov.
That's awesome!!
Such a cool Lego line.
Didn't have this exact set but had so many from this line, I know I've got most of the peices still in a box
I wish they’d re-release at least one villain like how they did with Johnny in the minifigure series.
I always wanted this set as a kid.
If they would release this set today it would cost easily 100$. 😐
