This is the first LEGO® set which comes with a blimp. The whole balloon is a big piece and it's so big that you can store your pieces in it if you want. The only problem is that this balloon has lot's of stickers but these make the set looking cool. The huge brick is attached to some LEGO® Technic pieces and on the back of the blimp you can see a propeller on each side which sviwels full 360°. Behind the propellers you can also find an engine which does sviwel. On the front is a movable windscreen and on the side is a microscope. This blimp also has an anchor which is attached to a chain.
 
We also get a tomb in this set with a web which sviwels and a golden plate which is attached to a rock. You're able to slide this rock out of the tomb as well. I also can't complain about the number of minifigs we get in this set. This set also includes Johnny Thunder who is in lot's of LEGO® Adventurers sets. But I'm really happy to have this set. I'm sure that this is a great must have set. It's an easy and fun build and the whole blimp is very sturdy as well.
 
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
