Amazon Crossing (6490)

A true classic in my Lego collection, the original Amazon Crossing was one which when looking at the instructions I realized I could bring back to life in a detailed, yet classic form. Although originally titled "Amazon Crossing," Lego set 6490 never seemed to actually be set in the Amazon jungle which I why in my version of it, I gave it more of a desert theme. The desert is not easier task for a younger version of our old explorer, however. Between crocodiles, rushing rivers, and the blazing heat, our explorer and his trusty dog companion must stick close together if they want to find treasure. In fact, the bones of our old explorer can be found near the river itself. It's also a good thing that our explorer has his tough off-roader to help him travel over such a rough terrain and even broken bridges! On top of that our explorer has upgraded his treasure hunting technology. Now he has a metal detector to help him find treasure along with some of the classic items! Good luck explorer!
