The box includes an instruction booklet, a small sticker sheet and three unnumbered baggies of bricks. The three minifigs include two Flying Mummies and a new version of lead hero, Jack Rainer. You also get a bi-plane and an obelisk monument to hold this set’s priceless artifact: The Soul Gem! This set had me pretty excited to get going and I have to say the build was pretty satisfying. But first things first… to the minifigs!

The Flying Mummies are basically the same minifigs as the Mummy Warriors that we saw in the last set, with some new accoutrement to make them stand out. Namely, they get new, swankier headdresses that look like bird heads. They also get plastic wings that clip in between their head and torso. The wings look really coo and have a surprisingly long wingspan, but if you would just rather beef up your ground armies, you can leave them out and use these as regular Mummies. They each also come with a spear. The Jack Raines figure is in his aviators outfit, which includes a smartly painted flight jacket and the same helmet and goggles that came with Mac McCloud in the last set.

My first impression of the biplane was that it was smaller than I thought it would be, but in retrospect, I think my expectations were a little high, since this is just a twenty dollar set. It’s actually perfectly scaled to fit the minifig and it was lots of fun to build. It features twin machineguns,which are cleverly modified from regular hand-held machine gun pieces. There’s also a large grappling arm that swings down from the bottom to scoop up the Soul Gem right off the top of the obelisk. Naturally the propeller turns as well. I love pretty much everything about this little plane.

The obelisk is just a more elaborate structure to hold the artifact, just like the little altar in the last set, only it’s pretty tall and it has some stickers to improve it’s overall look. There’s not a lot to building this thing, but it does look impressive and it fits the theme really well. The Soul Gem just sits on the top, so that you can scoop it up with the bi-plane’s grappler arm, which works with varying degrees of success, depending on how good your imagination is.

This is the set I wanted to get right off the bat, before I decided to confine myself to going for the smaller sets first. Between the obelisk and the biplane and the Flying-freaking-Mummies, this set looked like fun and it sure was that. Sure it costs twice as much as the last set and isn’t really twice as big, the build is definitely substantial enough and the end result definitely seems like a decent value for the money. So far, this one is definitely my favorite in the series. Can the next set in the line, the Cursed Cobra Statue, beat it? We’ll find out tomorrow.
