Incredible Set
This set is incredibly built, from the building itself to the market stand to the cart, and even to the camel. There is a good selection of minifigures, a good array of gold elements, and fantastic arch pieces. The accessories (the dagger, jewels, fruit, whip, etc.) are a nice addition to anyone who loves those type of pieces. As for the price, I bought this and the Desert Attack set for $20, so in that scenario it was a good deal. If I had to, I could comfortably pay the $30 that it originally went for. Overall, great set. Buy it if you can!

Great addition to any middle eastern theme sets!
First of all, I havn't even seen this film. (I wanted the set because it looked so cool and is cool)
I love this set, so much to do, so many cool pieces (Especially the gold).
A bit of a down that the trap door don't work so well but oh well it's still a must have.
This goes very well with the Indiana Jones Theme too (Like the chase scene with the swordsman in the first film)
Pros:
- Gold Pieces
- Cammel with jewels and cherry's
- The building
- Cart
Cons:
- Trapdoor dosn't work well
- No sand base (Even if there was a little)
Being honest the figures weren't really a big deal to me (Apart from the guy in gold armour) I just loved the set.
Even if you haven't seen the film, this is still a must have.
I would try to get the set though on ebay (Argos' ebay account because they have it brand new for £14.99 + £1.99 postage)
I would pay up to £25.99 on this set.

Small but awesome
Overall: I really love this set. It is loads of fun. It looks good from every angle.
Build: Too quick, but very easy. Lots of little builds to do.
Parts: LOVE the camel. Also love the great range and number of accessories like the fruits, meats, and jewels. Also that gold dome is as cool as everyone says it is. It is very striking.
Playability: The traps work great for me. Collapsing balcony is my personal favorite. Plus all the little stuff down in the market makes for interesting battles.
Value: Maybe a little steep on price, but it has so much fun for what you get. They've been on sale everywhere lately so go grab one.5 out of 6 people thought this review was helpful.
My second and better prince of persia set.
- This is an awesome set.If you have $30.00 you want to spend buy it!
Pros
Minifigs (Prince Dastan,Princess Tamina,Asoka [he's the guy in golden armor with
the dagger of time],and Market stall owner,
Rare pieces such as apples (3),Cherries (4 [five if you count the extra]),Fish (2),
White cape (1),Golden armor (1),Dagger of time (1),and Small dagger (2),
A lot of functions such as trapdoor,and Falling balcony
Cons
Dastan's swords and stall owner"s small daggers get nicks and scrapes in them
when held by minifgs,
Not very big,
The trapdoor will not always fall when you pull the lever,
Asoka will not fit beneath the dome standing up,
Cape and stall hood fray after much use,
You need to build it on a table to keep everything up
Overall a 5/5

Just blew my B-day/Grad money! :p
Fight For the Dagger-
-is a great set. I also own Battle of Alamut and the Ostrich Race set (which I haven't opened), and this one seems to fit in well. I bought this mostly for the minifigs: another Dastan can't really hurt, Tamina has a great new hairpiece and another decent peach girl face, Asoka has a nice new (to me, at least) face, the new golden armor, and last: the Alamut Merchant. This guy unfortunately has the same face as one of the figs from Alamut, but his headgear makes up for that. It really goes well with Tamina's cape.
Thus, I'd rate the minifigs: 5/5 (You are getting two of the same shirt from Asoka and the Merchant: the one from the ostrich race, but it's a great one for making random Persian Minifigs.)
Now the accessories. The weapons are nice, but when you already own two daggers of time, plenty of silver spears, and six torches, they become a shadow. The really nice parts are the food and the whip. Having Three apples (no biggie, I already own four-ish), SIX red cherries (I had just gotten two from Pick-a-Brick.. lucky me.), and two fish (YEY! My first ones!). The whip is also nice, and you could use it when Indy's grabbing something with his whip! (I own about eight Indy sets... and thus eight Indy whips.)
Accessories: 4.5/5
The Build/Pieces: This build is relatively simple, but I like it. The two traps right next to each other is nice, but almost a bit too much. The pieces, though: the pieces are great. Lots of Dark Tan and the new color, and the Camel, though great, is Dark Tan, which makes it awesome. :)
Pieces: 5/5 (For the Camel!!)
Playability: Fine... the trap door usually works and the balcony will always fall. The only problem is that they need a bush on the end of the pin to keep the trap door level. But really nothing amazing
Playability: 4.5/5
And the Price: Decent for the 'fig amount and the Camel and the pieces, but Lego rarely has great prices.
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4.5/55 out of 5 people thought this review was helpful.
