About this deal

I think it most likely has to do with a play feature then anything. While the set is geared to collector nostalgia, it's sold starting at a certain age group. With just 4 sets, something was incomplete with this one. The rest seem more fleshed out. It doesn't look like it fits at all and feels incomplete. Perhaps the least-loved Indiana Jones movie is best experienced through the medium of Lego? Until 2023, this was the largest Indiana Jones set at 929 pieces, and it has a bit of everything: a vehicle the Russians can ride in on, a series of secret rooms, delightful Lego skeletons in the classic style, the works. What Fright Knights reference did you see? The Well of Souls set has a Bionicle Kaukau mask and an Exo-Force drone head on the right, “these two droids” on the left pillar, and what kinda looks like a Crystal Skull above where the Ark sits. Additionally, the Golden Idol set appears to have King Kahuka’s mask in the upper left of the Golden Idol chamber. I’m not seeing anything else out of the ordinary. I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then. Use the conveyor to move the parcel across the lava. Then bring it across the small ledges above the lava pool on the right using Indy's whip, the same way you carried the machine part. Carry the parcel onto to the lift and ride to the ledge above. Here you'll find the mailbox to send the parcel home.

Smash the tool barrel just to the left of the wooden door to get the wrench inside. Use it to repair the engine that runs the lift. Now break the other barrel under the ledge with the slave cage to get a shovel. Use it to dig in the sparkling area on the right to unearth a golden key. Use this in the mechanism under the ledge to raise a whip platform. Throughout 2022, the LEGO Group worked closely with Lucasfilm to optimise our planned product line up for the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones product launches in April 2023.LucasFilm spiking the set because they no longer feel ToD is the best representation of their values, OR Lego spiking the set because of the Kali statue feel like the most likely reasons to me. The depiction of Kali, a real-world Hindu deity, is potentially problematic given LEGO's general avoidance of religious symbols and subjects. However, some might reasonably point out that the Monkie Kid and Chinese Traditional Festival sets already include LEGO depictions of Chinese deities. Moreover, 77013 Escape from the Lost Tomb contains the Ark of the Covenant, which is considered to be a real-world Judeo-Christian artefact. The LEGO Indiana Jones sets has a release date of 1 April 2022 globally, and will be available from LEGO.com, LEGO Stores and most major retailers. There you go. AFAICT, it's one of the Churches in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, though. (Most people don't get that there's more than one Catholic Church.)"

Images of the sets subsequently leaked and the new range has now been officially announced, with one significant omission, as 77014 The Temple of Doom has seemingly been cancelled. While LEGO product cancellations are relatively common, this example is unusual because this set was exhibited at Nuremberg Toy Fair and images have leaked online. Here’s more photos from the 2023 LEGO Indiana Jones release! 77012 Fighter Plane Chase – 387 pieces Excited for the idol temple as I always wanted the old one. The plane set is cool as well. It was weird to rewatch the Last Crusade at the weekend and realise (due to that set) that Indy wears a tie for a significant chunk of that movie. Weird choice cos he's not a tie type of dude. Detailed Instructions that have been professionally designed in high resolution PDF file format which is the same as you would receive with any official LEGO model. FREE PLAY: While standing on the small platform above the lava, switch to a small-sized character and wriggle through the crawlspace to emerge on a higher ledge, where you'll find artifact piece #1. From here, you can jump directly down into the next part of the tunnel, skipping the handrail above the lava pool.It's been 14 years since Lego last released a wave of sets based on the Indiana Jones franchise. But with a new movie imminent – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny– Lego has revitalized the IP, releasing three new sets based on the famous fictional archeologist. Enjoy hours of thrilling adventures with this detailed playset inspired by the Indiana Jones™ Raiders of the Lost Ark film. Indy has fallen into the snake-infested Well of Souls while looking for The Ark of the Covenant.

To be honest I’m not surprised it was cancelled. The film is exciting but even as a child I remember it being the “nastiest” of the films, for all sorts of reasons. Love that they’re going for updates and a refresh instead of a straight up remake. Some of the newer play features are super fun.After an early look this week, LEGO have finally unveiled the entire 2023 LEGO Indiana Jones range featuring sets and iconic scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade.
