Lego Indiana Jones: 7628 Peril in Peru

Here is my 3rd installment in my Old Set Review series. Peril in Peru was released in 2008 as part of the Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (KotCS) theme. It includes 625 pieces, its suggested retail was $49.99, and was available at Lego.com for just over a year (Summer 2008 - Summer 2009) as a limited edition set. The Panagra Airways plane overall is very nice (it even represents a real Panagra plane), the design is nice, a few rare/uncommon pieces, and an overall nice durability. However, the stickers for the windows on the side don't appear yellow, it's more of a yellow green (when you rub the sticker down so it stays). The cargo and passenger areas are also somewhat cramped, fitting only minifigures with hats/hair when they're sitting down, there aren't seats either. The airport tractor is nice too with plenty of detail. The Russian car is nice too. Now for the minifigures: Indiana Jones:... Well, ok this is getting kind of generic, same hat, same head, same torso, same legs, and, you guessed it, same messenger bag. Irina Spalko: nice hair exclusive to Irina, nice head that doesn't look quite like Spalko, great torso for MOCs, light gray legs are plain but ok. Mutt Williams: some nice hair, nice Mutt Williams head, great torso, and some uncommon dark blue legs. One of two of the exact same two Russian guards included in KotCS sets. Colonel Dovchenko: nice hat, Colonel face!, great torso for war characters, and some tan legs, I also want to mention the gun, it's exclusive to Dovchenko and 7626 Jungle Cutter and is really, really great. Pilot: nice white hat, great tuxedo like torso, and some more uncommon dark blue legs. This set is really nice, and makes a great addition to any minifigure scale plane collection, given the fact that it's based on a real kind of plane. This is the Lego Spy, out.
