Adventurers: Oasis Ambush

I had set 5938 as a kid and absolutely loved it! Johnny Thunder is my favorite original LEGO character, and I’ve always felt that this set was the perfect entry point for the Adventurers theme. I actually used four pieces from my original childhood set in this build (the plaque, the map, the headdress, and the scorpion).

When reimagining this as a modern set, I tried to focus on function and playability. The original set had a function where a spear could be pulled forward to open the monument. For my version of the set, I updated this function to be a staff that is able to placed in three different pedestals, each marked by a different colored jewel. The original Adventurers map has a red jewel on it, and in this set the monument will only open when the staff is placed on the pedestal marked by the red jewel.

I tried to reimagine and modernize the build and characters, including the gold hidden within the statue. I had a lot of fun putting this one together, thanks for checking it out!
