9462 - The Mummy
Year: 2012
Pieces: 90
Retail Price: 11.99 (paid 5.99 on clearance)
Theme: Monster Fighters
This is another small and easy set. There were two distinct subsets on this model, one was the helicopter and one was the chariot.
The helicopter is an easy build but lacks... well, everything. The helicopter itself doesn't even have any weapons, only the lady fighting wields a crossbow. Obviously this is fantasy, but I don't think any sane monster fighter would ever be seen flying in this as they'd be eaten alive. I mean, if you were fighting zombies, would you choose this flimsy thing?
The second subset is the chariot for the mummy. It's a pretty decent chariot in all honesty. I mean, chariots were built lightweight so that they could go fast, so you can't expect much for it. Using some of the LEGO legion models along with the chariot (with minor modifications) could make a somewhat realistic diorama.
The set ends with the chariot and helicopter. The female minifigure isn't anything special and the mummy has been use din multiple sets, but mummies and mummies and are always cool. The mummy also glows in the dark.
The set stays together fairly well, although the helicopter is flimsy. A hard landing while playing will break parts off, although since its about 10 pieces of build, its not too hard to put back together again when it does.

A helicopter? That's ridiculous! How can you fly a helicopter and shoot a cross bow at the same time? Haha - pffft! The skelly horse with flame is AWESOME! I like like like the Glow in the Dark features!
