Jungle Exploration Site Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Most City sets have been increasing in value upwards of 6% per year but LEGO Jungle Exploration Site has consistently outperformed this by 46% with a typical yearly return of 11%. Looks like a pretty decent investment so far.”

True North Bricks
“The Jungle Exploration Site is a worthwhile set. You get lots of Minifigures, animals, and accessories. The builds are nice, and have fun play features. The downside to the set is the value. It is expensive both in terms of the cost of each brick, as well as in terms of the... More build-time. Waiting for this set to be on sale for at least 20% off would bring the per brick value and the build-time score up to 80%, which would bring the overall score up to 89%. So, my final verdict is that I do recommend this set, but make sure you get it on sale.”
The Brothers Brick
“At the end of the day, you really can't go terribly wrong with City subthemes, and this jungle line has even more promise than most. The Jungle Exploration Site has an interesting setting and fantastic minifigs and a plethora of vehicles. It's not challenging to build, but... More if you're a fan of bright light orange, there's plenty to be found here.”
