Description

A temple built around the story

Legends of Chima follows animal tribes competing for CHI, a glowing orange energy drawn from Mount Cavora. The temple is both the Lions' stronghold and the flashpoint of their rivalry with the Crocodile tribe, and the set mirrors that plot directly: an internal mechanism distributes CHI orbs the way the tribes fight over them on screen. Fans of the animated series will spot familiar landmarks in the model, from the central statue to the folding gate, making this less a generic building and more a scene lifted from the show.

What's actually in the box

At 1,259 pieces, this is one of the larger sets from its launch year, and the 294 unique parts give the build noticeably more variety than a typical repetitive set. The multi-level temple includes moving features such as a folding bridge and a launcher for the CHI orbs, so the finished model still has a role once building is done. Seven minifigures, four Lions and three Crocodiles, are spread across the structure's different levels, giving each tier of the temple its own small scene rather than a single static display.

Reading the colour mix

Dark bluish grey and light bluish grey form the bulk of the stonework, while bright light orange marks out the CHI energy and decorative trim throughout the model. Trans-light blue pieces add translucent accents at windows and water features, breaking up the otherwise stone-heavy palette. This combination recurs across several early Chima sets, so pieces from the Lion CHI Temple tend to blend well if you're building a larger scene alongside other sets from the same wave.

Parts worth keeping for other builds

With 294 distinct parts, this set is a useful source of specialised pieces, arches, decorated tiles and the CHI orb elements, for anyone building their own creations later. The parts list on this page makes it straightforward to check exactly what's inside before buying replacements for a damaged or incomplete set, rather than tracking down the whole box again. For collectors following the Chima storyline, the temple also works as the anchor piece for a wider diorama built up from the tribe sets around it.
