Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by ZO6

Eleven years ago, I was not overly thrilled when I received 5956 Balloon Expedition - it seemed like a bit of a jumbled mess. Fast forward to the present and I could not be happier to be the owner of the set. Part of this happiness, I admit, comes from knowing the value of this rarity. The other part of this happiness comes from the complete package - this set is very unique and eye catching on display, but it's also a blast to play with. The set is a fantastic addition to the Adventurers theme, and to any LEGO collection.
