One of the presents that Oscar received for his recent 9th birthday was the Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb LEGO set. Thanks to Auntie Emer, this was perfect as it combined his love of LEGO and the hype of the moment that is Indiana Jones. I love LEGO Indy.

As soon as the after party hype died down, oh yes siree, these 9 year olds sure can party, he set about building the Lost Tomb. By no means is this the most complicated or intricate LEGO set, but he really enjoyed putting it together. It was built in a relatively short time and without any assistance or queries to myself or Conor.

Voilà:

The main attraction of it for him is the fact that there are inbuilt booby traps: the Anubis statues topple, the back walls fall, the snakes land on Indy:

and all can be corrected and repeated ad nauseum. Perfect.

He loves it. Thanks again Emer.
