Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a licensed LEGO sub-theme that featured sets based on the Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer film 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time', which itself is based on the video game series of the same name by Ubisoft. There was only one wave of sets, all of which were released on April 26, 2010. In an unusual move, the first commercials for the theme were broadcasted on April 5, 2010, weeks before the sets were released. There were no further sets planned for the theme and it was discontinued in that same year of its release, similar to the The Lone Ranger theme. 
== Details ==
The sets of this theme were based on specific scenes in the movie, though considerable license was taken with accuracy. A design feature of the larger sets is a significant number of exposed studs on vertical surfaces, intended to allow players to replicate the athletic wall-running stunts characteristic of the movie and games. The sets are notable for introducing new LEGO animal figures, such as camels and ostriches. It includes one of the only horses with torso designs, in the Desert Attack set. They also feature new pieces and accessories for Minifigures, which use the flesh-colored faces common to licensed lines. Most sets contain many gold-colored pieces and elements in the Medium Nougat color, an off-brown shade that was introduced in the line and has been used in several other places since.
