LEGO Jungle: Hidden Treasure (1999)

The LEGO 5905 set, titled “Hidden Treasure”, is part of the Adventurers theme, specifically the Egypt sub-theme, which was first introduced in 1998. Designed to inspire imaginative play based on exploration and adventure, this set features a small, ancient Egyptian-themed build that captures the spirit of archaeological digs and treasure hunts prevalent in adventure stories.

With 22 pieces, the set is centered around the main character, Johnny Thunder (in some regions known as Sam Grant), who is the intrepid Australian adventurer and the primary protagonist of the LEGO Adventurers series. Alongside him, the set includes various accessories that are pivotal for any treasure hunting expedition – such as a shovel for digging, a backpack for carrying essentials, and, most importantly, the hidden treasure itself, represented by a small, golden artifact.

Despite its small size, the LEGO 5905 Hidden Treasure set is beloved by fans for its ability to evoke grand adventures from a simple setup. Its a testament to the creativity and storytelling that LEGO sets can inspire, making it a memorable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of the Adventurers series.
