What the point of this review is, is a good question. The set came out nearly eight years ago and can only be found on eBay and sites of it's kind. Still, I want to share my thoughts on this set, because it was one of my favourites out of all the Orient Expedition sets, back in the day.
I got this set at the time of it's release, back then, my interest in Lego was mainly playing with them, now I just display them in a room in my basement. When I'm now writing this the set is in pieces, I've tried to re-construct it, but it's a work in progress. However, I don't need to have the set in front of me to review it, it wasn't a very large set. It consisted only of these elements: A small shrine of sorts, with a drawer you could open to reveal an emerald. When you opening the drawer, a small mechanism would pull the door open, and the yeti would be revealed. The yeti had the same type of body as the other monsters in Orient Expedition, Tygurah and Jun-Chi, one leg-brick, and two arms, moving independently of each other. This body you would have to build up, over this you would put the yeti's "skin", a big piece, kind of like the classic ghost brick. It's hard to describe the looks of it, but you can see it in the picture above.
The set was not very big and you wouldn't think there to be a lot of playability, well, there was. I think it was mainly because the yeti was a great figure, the trap within the shrine was a very amusing feature and I could play this over and over again. It worked great as a stand-alone set, but that didn't mean you couldn't put it into the big picture, combining it with 7417 Temple of Mount Everest or 7415 Aero Nomade. The yeti would work as a main antagonist along with Lord Sinister in the Himalayas, I also remember using it as the wampa from The Empire Strikes Back, all in all, a set that was great because of it's simplicity and great figures.

This set has all the intricate design elements and lavish beauty of a much larger set, all shrunk down onto a little 8 by 16 stud baseplate. It makes for a great, well structured and portable playset that is full of creative fun.

The minifigs are excellent. Pippin Reed in this outfit is my favourite "human" minifig that I have. I adore her hat and her face is really pretty. And the yeti is just supurb (even though he is not strictly a minifig I really think he should be cos he's cool.)

This small set is lovely to build and looks really wonderful. I love the small aqua icicles they really add an aesthetic beauty to the overall composition of the set.

It has an open the draw with the jewel in it and the Yeti's cave door opens system that works really well. Pippin has a sweet little camera, a fab hat and I cannot stress enough that the yeti is just cool!

I used to have this set when I was younger, but it's gone now. And I mean GONE. Kaputski. Fin. I'll never find it again.:( I got this set the same Christmas that my brothers got Tygurah's Roar and The Passage of Jun-chi. I had so much fun having Pippin discover the jewels, only to pull them out and activate the secret door, revealing the Yeti. He would try to get her with those two clubs on the wall, but she was too smart for him every time and it turned out to be a robot made by Sam Sinister. (Look, I was 6, alright?) This set came with many good pieces including the clubs, the camera, Pippin's hat, the flags, the transluscent blue sticks that acted as icicles, and the jewels. Too bad I got rid of it, I just wasn't in my right mind that day is all. That's also when I got rid of all my Harry Potter sets. Oh well, I'll just have to scour ebay, bricklink, and local garage sales until I find this again.

This set is affordable and alot of fun for the money. The Yeti is unique, I have never seen it or anything quite like it in any other LEGO set. I like the special way the door opens to reveal the Yeti. The mini figure is good and she is a girl ! The hat is wierd but fitting considering where the scene should take place. Overall a great set, if you are into the Adventure series like myself it is a must have for your collection.

I really like this set i have all the everest OE sets and this is one of my favorites. i has got some good pieces and is over all a good set (to the first guy who reviewed this set, that thing is not a lamp, it is a special statue sort of thing that Tibetens put over things called Chortens)
