LEGO 60157 - City Jungle Starter Set

The 3-figure starter sets are just great, and this is one of my favourites. There’s just so much to do with all the stuff that’s included! Obviously, this goes well with the other jungle themed sets, but it’s absolutely fine on its own, too! With plenty of hazardous wildlife and interesting accessories (camera, machete, magnifying glass, snake catcher) to play around with, there are dozens of scenarios to play out as the jungle explorers search for the lost treasure of gold coins. The scientist figure has two expressions, and the scared expression is just great seen through the magnifying glass (which actually does magnify a little bit!). You can have him freaking out over everything they discover!Both of the builds – the boat and the tree – are very simple and go ... MoreThe 3-figure starter sets are just great, and this is one of my favourites.

You can have him freaking out over everything they discover!Both of the builds – the boat and the tree – are very simple and go together quickly and easily. I like the colours and the smooth design of the boat, as well as the fact that it’s able to carry all 3 minifigs along with some cargo despite its small size. The tree is a nicely asymmetrical, organic build that uses several different foliage pieces and even manages to include a little nook for hidden treasure (or a frog’s hidey hole if you prefer!).

Very good starter set. Came with 3 minifigures, an alligator, a snake, frog, boat, gold coins and a jungle "tree". Excellent value and our son loves it!

Found this one on discount in my local K-market in January (just 8 €) and couldn't resist it.The minifigures and the animals are all very well executed pieces of art. My son, who tends to play "police and thieves" with all his sets, thankfully gave it up for this one, and we played a game of exploration and adventure.The hovercraft (right?) is well made and the son liked that there is room for all the minifigs onboard. The wooden box is really good for storing the items.
