Temple of the Crystal Skull Reviews
Brickset
“Just a fantastic play set. Fun to build and loads of traps that are a lot of fun to put together and have your mini-figures run around in. Overall design, the traps are collapsing stairs, skull drops, darts, swinging swords, retractable stairs w/hidden spike trap, spinning... More bridge for the crystal skull alien pilots w/hidden pit fall, etc., cool small half-track tank, 10 mini-figures, unique crystal skull lego heads (which you can see a brain inside), hidden rooms (one spins to reveal a crystal gem), tiki headed designed archway that stands alone or mounts onto the temple (has darts for eyes and extra darts as a head-dress), large base plate to build the temple on which makes it sturdy as well as easy to move and pick up.”

“I shouldn't have to sell this set - it should be able to sell itself! It reminds me of the big old Adventurers sets and the whiff of nostalgia is itself a powerful intoxicant. However, for the price Lego is selling it in Australia/ Europe/ Canada I couldn't recommend it as a... More must-buy for full price when the smaller sets in this series are themselves so good.”
