Review: 7622 Indiana Jones - Race For the Stolen Treasure

[alex54]

What an amazing set! I really like it! Everything looks great!

The vehicles are so nice, and this gold chest *wub*

The more I look those Indy pics, the more I like those sets...

I will resist to buy this line, I will resist, I will... not.

Oh well, I'm too weak! :-D

[phoinix]

well as everyone said this is a well designed set

great vehicles great design

the only down side...and its a big one for me

is that lego has gone too far with guns and violence :-/

i never thought i would see the day lego makes an army truck! >:-(

i just cant beilive they went through with it..

its too much guys

well the famous "non violence" policy seems like a big big joke right now.

[THE-FORCE]

Dr.Sinister, may I have a pic of all the guns in the set?

TLC might as well make a WWII theme or some other army theme since they've done this.I realy like this set will probable buy at least 2 so i can have some army figs.

[General Veers]

Beautiful. simply beautiful *wub*

[RememberTheLittleGuy]

Well, I don't have a picture, but there are two pistols and a rifle

That looks awesome, thanks for the pics, a definent buy for me. Love the trucks, they look so real but keep the lego-ness.

[Asuka]

Thank you for that very good review, Doctor Sinister! *y*

A great set with a wonderful vehicle design.... silver 1x1 round plates, pretty weird but lovely.

And a golden treasure chest.... now that

[gylman]

As I had suspected from the previously published pics, this one is easily the best of the 4 sets.

Thank you very much Doc Sinister for the great review.

[mutley777]

A great review Doctor Sinister. What a beautifull set *wub* ! Both the truck and the jeep are like stunning MOCs somebody worked for hours on. The whole indy line is looking very good!

[Zzz]

*wub* wow......

sweet set... everything looks so cool!

thanks a lot for this review! It might be your first, Dr.S., but it is very well done! good work!

flexible whip on!

:-)

[Naith]

just a quick question is that a black lightsaber as part of the gun on the car?

thanks

Yes.

[ZeekyBoogeyDoog]

Thanks for this review, Doctor Sinister! You did a great job, don't worry about it being your first review *y*

This one is my favorite out of the Indiana Jones line.

Awesome set!

I really want it. The truck has a great design, and although I was first skeptical about the Nazi attack car, I love it now! Looks like a nicley designed set! I should try to make the scene from the first movie, when I get this.

I love the design of that car...and at US $20.99, it's a nicely priced army builder.

Of course, it'll be a Nazi army that I'm building, which is...disturbing, but I'll TAKE IT!

I'll melt all their faces with the Ark of the Covenant anyway...

[TheFrisian]

Great review Doc! I'm sure tempted to get one of these, but I probably won't have the money after buying some of the 2008 Castle sets. :-D

Actually it's US $30.99 in TRU ($29.99 elsewhere). Still a great set, though.

A very minor point -- The only thing I was disappointed in was that there's only one set of coins. The box shows more than four coins, but oh well. (I really like the coins, BTW :-) )

I understand where you're coming from, and I sort of agree with you, but I don't think it's quite fair to say this is an "army truck set." This is a set that depicts one of the most iconic scenes from one of the most popular movies ever. Yes, it's a scene that just happens to have an army truck in it, but that's not the point of the set, in the same way that, say, the Best Lock sets were designed primarily as miliary vehicles. I know, it's just semantics, but I think there's a difference.

Besides, in the last 20 years, TLC has made sets with: swords, spears, halberds, sabers, flintlocks, muskets, scimitars, laser blasters, bows, crossbows, catapults, pistols, rifles, battle axes, flails, scythes, cannons, clubs, and knives. Does this Indiana Jones set cross some invisible line that they didn't cross years ago?? The TLC "non violence" policy has ALWAYS been a big joke. Violence and conflict have been at the heart of Lego theme design for decades now.

Anyway ... looks like a fun set, thanks for the pictures!

So many Lego weapons! Must hide from evil! :-P

Thanks for the list, didn't t know there were SO MANY! Now that I think about it, I have almost one of every sort (except for a catapult which I don't know how because lego throws one in in practically every set :-| , though I should get the sail barge for the Bobapult X-D ) Now, I shall use these weapons to take over the world! Mwhahahah!!!! But TLC has't made the 2 ultimate weapons, the SPORK and the MUFFIN (or M00FIN, whicchever way is fine *skull* ) When lego makes molds for these two, then we can say they've gone wrong ;-)

[casewindu]

What an amazingly beautiful set thank you so much Dr S for reviewing it! It has to be the nicest set i've seen in a long long time and I'll buy it the moment I see it in the shops!

I like the way all of the soldiers have different fleshy heads ulinke in most of the SW sets where all the fleshies are just smileys! :-D *y*

Once again thank you Dr S

[Naith]

i finally got this set yesterday in the mail and its just as good as i imagined its excellent the minifigs are great like people have said the box shows 2 soliders and 1 indy but there is 3 and 1 which is odd not to put the extra on the side of the box, but oh well im very impressed with this set i love it :-D
