About Jungle

Ruins in the rainforest

Jungle kept the Adventurers formula of explorers hunting for lost treasure but moved it into a rainforest setting. Overgrown temple ruins replace pyramids, and the expedition travels by river boat, hot-air balloon and seaplane. It is a compact wave, released in one year, which makes it a neat snapshot of the line between Desert and Dino Island. With only ten sets, it is also the smallest of the early Adventurers waves.

What the ten sets contain

Amazon Ancient Ruins (5986-1) is the largest model with 463 pieces, followed by River Expedition (5976-1) with 319 and Expedition Balloon (5956-1) with 175. Spider's Secret (5936-1) has 129 pieces and Pontoon Plane (5925-1) has 72. At the small end sit Jungle Surprise (1271-1) and Hidden Treasure (5905-1), both with 33 pieces, and Ruler of the Jungle (5906-1) with 23. Every set page lists the exact parts, which helps if you are sorting old bricks and want to know which jungle model they came from.
