You get a decent selection of minifigs, Dastan especially stands out with his ripped chest and dual sword sling. I’m not sure if it’s because the colour scheme is drab as hell or if there were too many brown fences to build.īut for RM55, I can’t really complain.
The ostrich pen is finally done! Here we see the two birds raring to be unleashed!Īnd here we have the end product! All in all, it was a pretty simple build, although it got extremely dull and repetitive at times. I didn’t quite like this part of the build. According to Sze Gion, these are pretty rare. Here we add the fencing which is held together by ‘droid hands’ in tan. Simple, easy enough for children to understand and most importantly, it gets the job done! Accomplished by smooth tiles and the use of droid hands with those spinny black tiles. Here we see the base beginning to take shape as well as the mechanism to open and close the gates for the ostriches to run free. Here we have the base of the main set piece. We have a scorpion and a poisonous (I’m assuming red means DANGER!) snake lurking below. There’s no way to get down from the roof… and it’s pretty obvious why no one would want to get down to the ground. A perch for Turban guy(man, I really love his Turban) to watch the ostrich races. We get two nice silvery spears and an axe as well as some nice shrubery.Īnother simple structure. Here we have a decently sized weapon rack that the ostriches are checking out. They look really neat and I remember a few years ago when they were first revealed, it got everyone excited! I like the fact that there are 2×2 studs on their backs, which obviously begs for them to be fitted with lasers or rocket launchers. Poor henchman #1 only has one facial expression.Īnd here are the stars of the set, the ostriches themselves! Their entire body and legs are made of regular Lego plastic, but their heads are rubbery.
Turban guy and Dastan have reversible heads, Turban guy looks distressed in one and Dastan looks a little constipated in his. On the right we have turban guy and on the left, we have random henchman #1. As you can see, we get a pretty neat topless male torso which is conveniently missing Jake’s fur that was very evident in the movie. Here we have Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan, the shirtless himself. Going to treat this build as if it were any other Lego set. I’m not a Prince of Persia fan… so I’m not going to get into details with the character names and what not. Here’s a snapshot of the box and the two Ostriches that got loose. Since I had vouchers, I figured, “Eh, why not?” and with Sze Gion’s egging, I went for it, since it you know. Me, Joel, Ben and later Sze Gion decided to head to Bangsar to check out the Lego exhibition there (finally) and I noticed that they had Prince of Persia’s The Ostrich Race super reduced at RM55. So, it was a very good day today! In addition to my Secret Santa Loot, my incredibly rad employers, Text 100 saw fit to gift me with some Toys ‘R’ Us vouchers, because of my good behaviour or something.
