“The balloon is a grey dirigible with eyes and a mouth featuring sharp teeth printed on. Adventurers is stylized and written across the side. Lastly, the LEGO logo is printed on the top tail-fin. The balloon is able to have the front part removed to place pieces inside.”

“I could not be happier to be the owner of the set. Part of this happiness, I admit, comes from knowing the value of this rarity. The other part of this happiness comes from the complete package - this set is very unique and eye catching on display, but it's also a blast to... More play with. The set is a fantastic addition to the Adventurers theme, and to any LEGO collection.”

“This is the only time Lego has made a dirigible so it is definitely unique for that reason alone. But it was executed in great fashion as well, back in the day it was a hype between all the kids I knew and I was really proud I got one back then and still managed to found it... More in quite good condition after all these years!”
