Treasure X Island Skull Temple Mega Playset

With its long and varied run, the Moose Toys Treasure X puzzle-toy series has produced several higher-end “Mega” variants across its different themes; Robots, Monsters, Aliens, Sunken Gold, and Islands, pick your poison. Among them, the one that stands out the most to me is Treasure X Island: The Skull Shrine.

Sold at $40 USD SRP, the Skull Shrine is arguably the most elaborate playset Moose Toys has released for the Treasure X Island lineup. Featuring over 40 puzzle steps, the playset delivers a surprisingly rich treasure-hunting experience reminiscent of Indiana Jones adventures, complete with traps, reveals, and layered exploration. As someone who grew up exposed to tons of playset toys, especially Micro Machine. this kind of interactive diorama hits all the right nostalgic notes.

Given the choice among all Treasure X Mega sets, I would pick the Treasure X Island Mega Playset any day. Treasure X Robot has its appeal, especially with cheaper secondhand options floating around, but its gimmicks don’t quite land the same way for adult collectors. The Skull Shrine, on the other hand, feels like a full, satisfying play experience with strong display value.
