Wow, there is a LOT going on in this set. This definitely represents a temple complex rather than just a temple and the gold/turquoise colour theme works really well. Everything is sectional so you can construct your complex in any order you like simply by switching the hook and bar pieces around. Being able to connect each section is a bonus, just elevates it a little from having them stood alone on the table or shelf.
The set comes with 6 minifigures, evenly balanced between the "good guys":
Nrg Nya
Scuba Kai
Prince Benthomaar
and the "bad guys":
Prince Kalmaar
2 x Maaray Guards
The detailing and moulding for the minifigures is exceptional and they certainly have a lot of printing to enhance the moulds. This is particularly true with Nya and Prince Kalmaar. The only strange bit is the katana for Kai runs right through his scuba tank, at a glance you can fool yourself that it runs behind the tank but even a brief inspection shows that it runs right through the middle of it.
Threr are a couple of errors in the manuals but none of them effect the actual build. The purple coin appears as an inclusion for Bag 2 and Bag 9 - it is only in Bag 2. For the Nrg Nya figure it shows a neckerchief in the part list for the figure but this appears and disappears in the build instruction but does show it in place on the end image. Nothing major and certainly doesn't stop you building the set but worth a mention. Other than those little picky errors this is a really fun and simple build. The manuals (2 are included) take you through each section bit by bit and clearly show not only which bricks you need but how to combine them.
You make a large central temple, a dragon statue that is enormous, a jail cell, two separate temple buildings - one with an oyster and pearl, a reef with collapsing columns and a submarine. Definitely plenty to get to grips with I am sure you will agree. The stand out for me is the dragon statue but, then again, I am obsessed with the Ninjago theme dragons. Loads of details on the temple buildings really brings everything to life.
Well worth 5/5 just based on the sheer good looks of this set. As a playset there is so much a creative mind could achieve from these basic blocks.
