The LEGO Prince of Persia theme was a short-lived, discontinued product line released in April 2010 that was based on the 2010 film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The theme was developed in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products and Ubisoft.
Overview
The theme focused on the film's storyline, featuring Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina battling against the villain Nizam and his Hassansin followers to prevent the powerful Sands of Time from being unleashed. The sets were known for including elements that mirrored the parkour and trap-filled nature of the video games and film, such as columns for jumping and secret passages. The line was discontinued by the end of 2011.
Construction Sets
A total of six main sets and one promotional polybag were released in a single wave in 2010.
