I rather like the minifig primarily because he’s perfect for use as the standard slob who does nothing but sits around the house watching TV & sipping beer :)

Gesundheit!

Seriously though, thanks for the clarification and parts references. I know there’s a name for the peaked hat I have in mind but couldn’t for the life of me think of that either.

   The altar/shrine is a very basic construction of maybe 25-30 pieces that features a standing staff. A small rod fitted behind the center of the staff can be ‘flicked’ to knock the staff out of place (ooh, I hope I can contain my excitement!).

LEGO’s “playability” in this feature fell pretty flat. When I tried to flick the staff over, the axle just lamely pushed it to the side without it being dislodged. I didn’t really mind though, as I wanted that forked staff to go with the serpent scepter that came with the Series #2 MF Pharaoh.

   This set came in at around $10.00 which is pretty reasonable (figuring the current minifig value at around $3.00 plus a motorcycle) and will make for a must-have purchase when they get discounted.

Absolutely! It’s a great selection of parts for the price.

At last an end to Johnny Thunder. But wait, Lego now makes Tommy guns!......

You know, it’s a darn shame that this didn’t get more comments. I’m sorry I missed it and only happened to stumble upon it almost three years after you posted!

A great scene--tons of detail and really nice staging.

Thanks for sharing!


Dave!
