Scouty Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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! Quote
Tohst Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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 Quote
Svelte Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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? Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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* Quote
natelite Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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 Quote
Athos Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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 Quote
Canticleer blues Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) 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.

Piranha Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 *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- Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 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 :-$ Quote

Siegfried Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 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?

Tarfful Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by GeneralTarful Quote
hollisbrick Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 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 ;-) Quote
General Zen Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 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! ;-) Quote
Shadows Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 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* Quote

Lord Of Pies Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 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* Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 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-| Quote
lego.ryan Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 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* Quote
The Penguin Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 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! ) Quote
Zzz Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 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...! :-) Quote
