First of all I would like to say that I own every Indiana Jones set and this is by far the best. It has many booby traps, mini figures and and it is EXTREMELY big!
As this is a big set, it needs a long review to cover everything.
OK here it is...The longest review ever written...
Mini figures
-Indiana Jones - Just the same as in all the other sets.
-Mutt Williams - Quite rare, He has a cool outfit.
-Irina Spalko - Quite rare, I own 3 though, just the same as in other sets.
-Russian guard - OK, The same as in other sets, not an original face.
-Conquistador skeleton - I love this figure, just a skeleton with pearl silver armour and a black hat on.
-Ugha warrior with hair - Cool rare and exclusive figure, a must have.
-Ugha warrior without hair - Same as the other warrior, just without hair. He has a nice little tattoo on the back of his head.
-Crystal skeletons (x3) - Really cool and rare. The crystal skulls have a blue brain inside. However, the body is white, not transparent like it should be.
Traps
-Flick fire missiles that shoot from the eyes of the entrance.
-Cog behind the waterfall that shoots darts, the coolest trap.
-A spiral staircase that disappears in to a wall.
-Obelisk which if you lift up,makes some sharp blades appear.
-Throne room spins, making the victim fall down a bottomless pit.
-Dragon heads that drop skulls. There are 2.
-A staircase that gives way.
Russian vehicle
This is some sort of tank/jeep which isn't very well made. It looks like it was just thrown in as an afterthought.

I said it would be a long review.
I recommend this set to Indiana Jones fans, but get it soon because they will stop doing this set and replace it with the new ones.
I hope this review helped.
