LEGO 5988 Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins

Released 1998 · 720 pieces · 10 minifigures · Adventurers · Desert

LEGO Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins (5988) was released in 1998 in the Adventurers · Desert line, with 720 pieces and 10 minifigures. That makes it the 2nd largest of the 76 Adventurers sets in the catalog. It was one of 21 Adventurers sets released that year (see them all). Released in 1998, 28 years ago, well past the two-to-three-year run most LEGO sets get, so it is almost certainly out of production.
