LEGO Avatar Air Temple Explore the storyline of the hit Nickelodeon cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. Kids can help Aang and Sokka repel attacks on the Air Temple by warriors of the Fire Nation. The Lego Avatar Air temple comes with 400 pieces and a full-color, illustrated instruction booklet that diagrams model construction in 42 steps. The finished model features a trap door, a working seesaw-like catapult that flips figures or blocks outward in the temple’s defense. The front gate is made up mostly of round, single-stub pieces that simulate wood logs. A locking mechanism built into the gates keep the temple secure from invading Fire Nation soldiers. Fire Nation is equipped with a convertible canon/tank capable of shooting little red disks about five feet in distance. Inside the box you’ll find seven parts bags, two temple side pieces, plastic hang glider wings, seven decals, and a base plate to serve as the temple’s foundation. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. –Porter B. Hall
Customer Review: Great Gift for Avatar Enthusiast
My husband and I bought this as a Christmas gift for our son, who is a big fan of Avatar, despite many reviews indicating that it was difficult to put together. My 9 year old son put it together all on his own – it did take him a while, but by following the instructions he was able to do it. It gave him a great sense of accomplishment, and kept him busy for a couple of days over the Christmas break – at least it was time spent on quality play instead of at the computer or in front of the TV. The only disappointment was that the set did not include one of the main female characters, Katara. In any case, I would highly recommend this for any Avatar fans.
Customer Review: Fun for an avatar fan!
The Air temple is a great Lego set with lots of potential for play beyond just assembly. No misrepresentation on Lego’s part as the product description is accuurate, but be aware that a young Avatar fan may be disappointed that there’s no Katara minifig in this set. She’s a major character in the series so this is a great source of distress for my son.
