LEGO Indiana Jones 7199 The Temple of Doom

Product Information

Round up the Thuggee Acolyte and either the regular Thuggee or Pankot Assassin, since you'll need both spear and sword to beat this level. The entrance is the same as the 5th Story Level. Hop up onto the wooden platform near the collapsed bridge and follow the gold arrow to begin. Personally, I was delighted to learn that LEGO Indiana Jones would be returning when rumours began to circulate earlier this year. I enjoy the films and loved the original sets produced in 2008 and 2009. However, I was also surprised to hear that the new sets would include 77012 Fighter Plane Chase and 77014 The Temple of Doom. That’s nice. The older Indi sets came out in the depths of my dark ages, so it’s the one theme I mostly missed out on. Now use Willie to jump up into the empty slave cage, smash the tool canister there and get a blue cog. Carry this over to the right side of the cavern and place it on the broken engine. If you need a wrench, you'll find one in one of the boxes near the right wall. Repair the engine to obtain artifact piece #8.

It clearly would have been a PR eyesore in this form, capturing all of the problematic qualities of the film. I think 7199 is less bad in this regard and rereleasing it would probably be a better way to do a set for the film instead. Use a small-size character to go through the crawlspace at the top of the stairs to the right of the slave cage. In the alcove above (i.e., where the escaped slave child is standing next to the lever), you'll find artifact piece #7, along with a valuable purple stud. Personally, my family took me to see Temple of Doom, at the theater when I was 13-14ish years old. I loved the film then and I recently watched it about a month ago, enjoying it even more at age 52. This film has amazing set pieces / scenes that should be depicted in LEGO form. But like yours, which I respect, this is just my opinion. All in all, a promising start to the revival. Before this, LEGO Indiana Jones totaled 16 boxed retail sets across two years / four waves of releases, covering scenes from four films. These give us very little in the way of new scenes, but do at least give us a couple more official characters (one of them *sorely* missed from the previous run), as well as greater builds for some of the previous subject matter, and we all know that whether anything else from the previous movies is coming, we should be getting stuff from the new movie eventually. So… cool! Cool cool cool.

If the depiction of Kali is what cancelled this set, why not change the model by removing Kali? The Kali statue isn’t necessarily required given the set has multiple “scenes” of the tunnels all combined in one layout. 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. There's something wrong there. I wouldn't be surprised if that 40 is a typo and that set will end up costing a lot more.

Celebrate the legacy of Indiana Jones™ with this rewarding build as you create the iconic opening scene from the Raiders of the Lost Ark film.It is possible that the set has been merely delayed, but I think LEGO would emphasise that in the statement, if so." I am delighted to get Marion*, Sallah and Henry Jones Sr. in affordable sets, but I do regret that one Temple is prohibitively expensive, and the other is prohibitively gone.
