LEGO Prince of Persia The Ostrich Race (7570)

LEGO Prince of Persia The Ostrich Race (7570) Review



I never expected LEGO to have ostriches, so this set is a nice addition to my collection. The building technique for the opening gates is simple yet really clever. However, it would have been better had each gate been longer (each gate is 1x6 long, but would have been better with 1x8 plates), because its hinge takes up too much space. $[...] is a bit too expensive, but get this set before it becomes more expensive when it's retired.



LEGO Prince of Persia The Ostrich Race (7570) Feature


  • Set includes 3 minifigures: Dastan, Sheik Amar and an Ostrich jockey
  • Lever opens start gates simultaneously
  • Viewing tower to follow the ostrich race
  • A weapon rack with spears, 2 ostriches and scorpion included
  • 169 pieces

Suddenly, with the flick of a lever, a high-speed, out-of-control ostrich race begins! As the kingdom’s outlaws gamble on the winner, can Dastan use the chaos and the very large, very fast riding birds to escape from the illusive Sheik? Set includes 3 minifigures and the first-ever LEGO ostriches Recommended Ages: 6 years & up

I bought this set mainly for the minifigs. Not a big fan of the vehicle, but no regrets either. Overall, a nice addition to my LEGO collection.

LEGO Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo (7195)

LEGO Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo (7195) Review



This scene in the movie, by far in my opinion, is one of the funniest moments in movie history. Honestly. What was just a silly thing Harrison did on the set because he wasn't feeling well, turned out to be many people's favorite scene in the film. Funny stuff! I'm so glad that they came out with a Lego set depicting this scene. It has so many details, including apples to sell in the marketplace, and the always coveted knife that the "bad guy" wanted to use to harm Indy. Of course, the whip is there and this set has 4 figures which is a bit unusual in this price range. It goes together pretty quickly and is quite fun when put with the other "Raiders" sets, especially the temple escape. It's quite loved in this house, super cute, tons of play time hands down. Highly, highly recommend!



LEGO Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo (7195) Feature


  • Loads of accessories including a sword, club, frying pan, green apples, golden dish, barrel and weapons
  • Market stall measures 2 inches (5.1cm) L x 1.25 inches (3.2cm) W x 2.5 inches (6.4cm) H
  • Wagon measures 3.5 inches (8.9cm) long
  • Includes 4 minifigures (Indiana Jones, Marion Ravenwood, Cairo Swordsman and Cairo Warrior)
  • Contains 79 pieces

Includes Indiana Jones, Marion Ravenwood, Cairo Swordsman and Cairo Warrior figures. 79 pieces. Ages 6-12.

Legos Rock - Dianne Estabrook - Vero Beach, FL
My son is really into Legos of any type. He asked for this kit specifically. He or I were not disappointed. The pieces fit beautifully and are interchangable with other kits. A must for all future engineers!

Had to have it - undertheshrine - Albany, CA USA
I'm usually not into the Indiana Jones series of Lego but when I saw this one, I had to have it. It's a classic movie scene that is known by everyone and personally one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.

I expect more from Lego - Farrar M. Williams - Washington, DC United States
This Lego set frustrated my kids and I can see why. One of the pieces isn't the size depicted and therefore doesn't fit properly, though you can put the whole thing together by positioning it slightly differently. In the many Lego set constructions I've overseen in the last couple years, I've never had that happen! Also, I know Lego sets can fall apart when played with, but in most kits, most of the pieces are held in place in multiple points, making it a little harder. Not so with this one - the pieces kept falling apart as the kids put it together. They got it together, but my son just said disappointedly, "I think it's too fragile to play with." My kids are excited about the Atlantis line, so I'm hoping that the others are at least a little better designed.

Collect them all - M&M Catboy - Chicago, Illinois, USA
This is the first set in my LEGO Atlantis collection. Not disappointed. Cool pieces. Not too expensive at $[...].

LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837)

LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Review



My 6-year old son got this in his Easter Basket this year. He loves this game, and anything Lego. The game is basically like tic-tac-toe, but it is with four pieces in a row. He seemed to quickly understand the game rules and the concept of the joker/wild skeletons and the scary spider. The box is extra sturdy so it can take extra wear with travel. My son takes it with him everywhere and loves to play with anyone, or by himself - rolling the die for two different characters. He's now starting to redesign the game board and pieces to his own liking and creativity. Definitely recommend.



LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Feature


  • 1 buildable LEGO® Dice
  • 1 rule booklet
  • Building instructions
  • 2 to 4 players
  • 142 pieces



LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Overview


Night has fallen in the graveyard and the monsters have come out to play with their skeletons. The first to get four of their monsters in a row wins. But watch out for the scary spider! Includes 1 buildable LEGO dice, 142 LEGO bricks, building instructions, and rule booklet.

All Connect 4 Fun in LEGO Madness - Connie L. Roberts - Sierra Vista, AZ
We are a LEGO household with two LEGO masters in this house, ages 11 and 12. When I saw this game, I thought what a great concept! Not only do you get to play a cool game, you get to make the game board!

The kids absolutely loved it! The die--you even build that!--was a fun addition to this game. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys LEGOS. We're going to be getting the other games this year, too.


Pretty cool - Jonathan M. sauls -
This is an ok game....very fun to build...the game seems a little difficult for younger children to play but I would recommend it to all who love legs....
