On Tuesday, we reviewed two<\/a> of the new Lego Prince of Persia sets for the upcoming film (in theatres next month). The second part of our Lego Prince of Persia reviews focuses on The Fight for the Dagger (#7571). As before, I\u2019ll keep the level of information on par with what you would see in a trailer. This set is at the $30 level and contains 258 pieces. I have to say, out of the three I\u2019ve purchased so far, I was most impressed with this one.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

First up, this set comes with four minifigures. You get the ever-present Dastan figure, this time with his shirt on. Next is Princess Tamina. She features new printing on her torso, a new head (with a happy face and an \u201cannoyed at Dastan\u201d look), then there\u2019s the brand new hair piece. I really like the braid in back with the shorter hair in front. It gives a cute look to the overall figure. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The merchant is an interesting addition to this set. Instead of a second bad guy, they went with an annoyed proprietor. He\u2019s only got the one face, so he\u2019s having a bad day at work no matter what happens. Last, there\u2019s Asoka, the villain for this set. There\u2019s not a lot new on this minifigure. He has a new face, but he\u2019s got the same torso as the merchant. It\u2019s disappointing, but it\u2019s not too big of a deal since his armor will keep it covered most of the time. What I was impressed with is the new Arabian Helmet piece. It reminds me of a similar fan-made piece that was made much earlier. (Check out Brickforge<\/a> to see what I mean.) <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

This set also marks the appearance of another first in the Lego animal family, the camel! The camel looks great and can be outfitted with a standard horse saddle so he doesn\u2019t look as weird when your Lego men ride him. I really like this sculpt, but I was disappointed that he doesn\u2019t have a single movie part. I was expecting him to be like the horse or cow and at least be able to move his head up and down. Sadly, this camel\u2019s going to die quickly unless he\u2019s handfed.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Another thing I was impressed with is how many accessories are in this set. The merchant is loaded with goodies to sell: two fish, three apples, six cherries, a chicken leg, and two knives. In addition to his stick, there are also three jewels, a spear, a whip, Dastan\u2019s twin swords, and the most important accessory, the Dagger of Time. The Dagger has its own unique mold and matches the movie.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Lastly, there\u2019s the play set itself. This set isn\u2019t very big, but it\u2019s packed with features. First off, I have to mention the special bricks with studs facing out that are placed around the set. These special bricks allow you to attach Dastan (or any minifigure) in various poses to mimic his unparalleled parkour ability. If you\u2019re familiar with any of the Prince of Persia games, or seen the movie trailers, you\u2019ll know what I mean. Nothing is really an obstacle to Dastan.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The set also has a piece of fabric stretched out as a canopy for the merchant. The fabric is only attached on one side, the other sits loosely on a pole, which lets a figure fall through the canopy to the ground below. (This is probably why the merchant has such an annoyed look on his face.) The canopy isn\u2019t the only way for Dastan to make his way to ground level though. The second level features a working trap door and a collapsing balcony (both are held in by removable rods). Like I said, for such a small set there are a lot of play possibilities.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

So far, this set is my favorite from the Prince of Persia line. If you only want one Prince of Persia set, I\u2019d recommend this one. It\u2019s only thirty and for that price you get plenty of features and accessories, two of the main characters in Dastan & Tamian, and the Dagger of Time. Three important elements to the film\u2019s story. And, most importantly, a Lego camel to add to the ever-growing zoo.<\/p>\n
