January 30, 200817 yr Hopefully the tent won't be paper *wacko* That Race for the Stolen Treasure truck cover sure was a BIG mistake! Paper *wacko* , I thought it was cloth!
January 30, 200817 yr Hopefully the tent won't be paper *wacko* That Race for the Stolen Treasure truck cover sure was a BIG mistake! It looks like the same tent they had in some of the Adventurer's sets so my guess is its not changing from paper? What issue did you have with the truck cover? I kind of liked it. -Tohst
January 30, 200817 yr The new set is very cute and a bargain if it's $US10. Nice figs, weapons and the classic tent. Will sell like hotcakes and better than Motorcycle Chase in my opinion. I think there's some confusion with the Race for the Stolen Treasure truck cover. Some people here have reported its paper, other think it's cloth. I found mine to be a very stiff canvasy type of material - definitely not paper but not as soft as other fabric pieces like the flags on the Durmstrang ship, for example. It seemed even stiffer than the Vikings sail but a similar type of material - maybe that's just the size of the piece? I think it would have to be fairly stiff on the truck to stop it sagging where its unsupported by bricks at the end. Maybe there's a production difference between US and Europe sets? Does anyone know?
January 30, 200817 yr Thanks for the pic, Eothein *wub* This set comes with some great pieces like the great hairpieces, banana, return of the tent and golden katana *wub* I wish they would have made the cutlass pearl silver too though :-( The way they made the campfire is very clever, and I like the lamp and weapon holder too. Get about 5 of these sets and you'll have a great little Nazi/Soviet camp *wub* Thanks again *y*
January 30, 200817 yr Get about 5 of these sets and you'll have a great little Nazi/Soviet camp *wub* you can also use the tan soldiers as confederate soldiers to battle against your union soldiers should you own some western sets. ack...actually i was mistaken. confederates are grey i think. :-P
January 30, 200817 yr I imagine the tent is the same material as the tent that came in the Sphinx set, which, I believe, is the same material as on the truck. Steve
January 30, 200817 yr The new Jungle Duel set looks great! I'm definitely getting one when it arrives in stores. *y* The other sets look great too, escpecially that awesome Jungle Cutter! The Temple dosen't compare and the River chase set is pretty good. Edited January 30, 200817 yr by Canticleer blues
January 31, 200817 yr *wub* Thanks very much!! This set is just as good(if not better) than the Motorcycle chase!! - Indy! Yeah, more whips and bags! :-P - Mutt! Cool torso! love the 50s look 8-
January 31, 200817 yr Great to see the map again too Strange that the two sets it's been used in are when the map would be of Turkey and South America, but the map looks more like Egypt :-$
January 31, 200817 yr thanks Eothein, at first i wasnt gonna get this set my i *wub* all it's accesories *wub* and those new spiders! and the new hair mold *wub*
January 31, 200817 yr Wow that's a great new set, i love the new figs and i'm sooo happy we get new hair pieces *wub*
January 31, 200817 yr Thanks Eothein for telling us of the pictures. *sweet* The new pic looks good. Hopefully the tent won't be paper *wacko* That Race for the Stolen Treasure truck cover sure was a BIG mistake! Aside from the fact that it isn't paper, what did you expect and what would you prefer?
January 31, 200817 yr thanks Eothein, at first i wasnt gonna get this set my i *wub* all it's accesories *wub* and those new spiders! and the new hair mold *wub* Not spiders... Ants ;-) Yes thanks for the pic, great set great figs..
January 31, 200817 yr Wow thanks Eothine! So far Jungle Duel is going to be the #1 Bestseller for Indiana Jones Lego period. Lets face it no other set can compare for $10 2 new hair molds, a golden katana, aa tent, 2 chrome knives, a cutlass in bley and whopping 3 figs *wub* , not to mention the sweet picnic table, weapons rack, bannana, 2 ants and alittle camping light! This set has so many useful parts. Definitley bes IJ set yet for the money! (Just my 2 cents.) General Tarful Edited January 31, 200817 yr by GeneralTarful
February 1, 200817 yr Not spiders... Ants ;-) Yes thanks for the pic, great set great figs.. ohh 8-| kool sweet thanks for the info, either way i'm getting this set though ;-)
February 1, 200817 yr Wow, all these sets look great, the jungle duel set especially! My personal favorite is the river chase. It has a brick-built tree (finally! X-D ) a cool car, and some sweet figs! This line looks amazing! ;-)
February 1, 200817 yr As said before, Jungle Duel is pure win and so far, the only Indy set I fully intend to buy multiples of for parts. The rest of the sets are pretty good, for what they are. I don't think I'm going to care for this new movie nearly as much as the originals, but I am pretty fond of some of the parts we're getting. All those Soviets make me want to put together a MacGyver theme, since he was up against them half the time. Plus these sets have trucks for him to hot wire with a stick of gum, 3 safety pins, and a bottle of coke. ;-) Not so sure about the movie, but Indy 4 Sets On! *y*

February 2, 200817 yr I see a stunning resemblance! I like the new ants, my Leo Islanders are getting bored with only having sharks, monkeys, parrots, spiders, crocodiles and snakes to attack the pirates with! I also love the new soviet figs, TLC go for years without making 20th century military figs and then we get 2 sides in a space of a year!! *wub*
February 2, 200817 yr Thank you very much, Eothein! You know, at first, I could've sworn that Mutt's hair was Robin's, but just now I realize I'm wrong. But all the better; even more new hair pieces! :-P All these new hairpieces are just screaming for more town sets for me to drool at and wish I could get! :-P I wonder why there's a golden Samurai sword in the rack by the tent! Oh, and for those of you who think this doesen't look like a duel, I guess if you saw an angry Russian holding a cutlass threateningly and your son holding a knife equally threateningly you wouldn't think they were dueling. Btw, I take this duel is between Mutt and Irina? Because if not, Indy's whip won't save him here... 8-|
February 9, 200817 yr I absolutely love the first, second, and fourth sets, however I can't say that anything in the big set is really exciting. It doesn't even look like a building, just a jumble of bricks on a baseplate. :-/ I'll definitely be picking up the other three though! *wub*
February 9, 200817 yr I say! ) The lady in the set does seem quite attractive to me! ) *wub* What was her name again? Irina Spalco (Ирина Спалко) *sweet* Definitely, one of the best Lego-ladies, in my opinion! )
February 14, 200817 yr watch the first trailer for Indy 4: Indy 4 teaser on yahoo (spoilers! ... obviously...) you will see the amphibious car with Irina (but she is not in the set..?) and the strange temple from the lego sets...! :-)
