“The Oasis Ambush is mainly a small statue of the Egyptian god, Anubis, and a palm tree. The statue lays on a platform that can be lifted by pulling the spear down, to reveal treasure. Below the Statue are hieroglyphics. A black scorpion can also be found with gold coins... More under the statue.”

“Oasis Ambush is one of the best small sets within the Desert Adventurers theme. With three figs, one palm tree, and a tomb with trap and chest, this set has a great value. I always liked the Anubis statue on the top of the tomb, a simple, yet very effective design for a... More hidden chest.”
