5956 Expedition Balloon is a 1999 Adventurers Jungle set. It contains 170 pieces, including four minifigures.

Description[edit | edit source]

The balloon is a grey dirigible with eyes and a mouth featuring sharp teeth printed on. Adventurers is stylized and written across the side. Lastly, the LEGO logo is printed on the top tail-fin. The balloon is able to have the front part removed to place pieces inside.

A black hull is attached to the balloon with wheels pinned unto it. A windshield is in the front and a chain supporting an anchor. In the back is a cabin and a propeller connected to an engine behind that.

A small shrine is also included. It features the Sun Disc on rails which allows it to be removed. The shrine is coloured with grey, red, yellow, and blue and has a skull on the top.

Background[edit | edit source]

The balloon appears in LEGO Racers on the Jungle track. Johnny Thunder and Dr. Kilroy make cameos, both appearing in it.

The balloon reappears in LEGO Racers 2 where it is more prominently featured. It appears in Brickton and is used by the player to go to and from Dino Island.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The balloon pieces are exclusive to this set.
  • This is one of the few sets to have a LEGO piece longer than the box.
