RichardAM Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Ugh, that truck's awful, and the one-piece jet isn't much better. I'll be passing on this altogether. Thanks for the review. Quote
DarthPineapple Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Looks pretty cool, however the price seems too expensive IMO. Anyway it's a great set with great minifigures. The truck and wing are simple but effective. Still they both scream to add some mods here and there. Quote
daxflame680 Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Ha! If you've paid any real attention to what other people are saying, the ship is actually the most applauded and celebrated set in the line-up. And there's absolutely nothing <insert that tiresome argument> (as in overly simplified, bulky or childish) about the sets, you guys are just farming the word because the sets contain some elements you don't like. Some of the old sails had skulls in them as well, so don't get started on that! I think you misunderstood my comment? I meant that it really doesn't matter if Brickbeard's Bounty has those bigger pieces. Quote
Algernon Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 This is my favorite Indiana Jones set! I'll bet getting this one for sure, mostly for the parts. Quote
The Rancor Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 GAH! By the time I get ONE new set, all of them will have been found, customised and reviewed (again) Ah well. At least reading that pretty good review satisfies my lust for lego! Thanks. Quote
Laureano Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 congratulations for your new set Thanks for the review... This is a fiction aircraft from Lucas film creations, but with this aerodynamics it’s possible to fly, It is also a great design. Great set, Indiana Jones is always a got choise Quote
Hinckley Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for bringing us such a great review, daoudbazaar! It's much appreciated. This is an exciting set and I can't wait to get my hands on one. That truck is a little odd, though, isn't it? It's cool, but the front does seem like someone added some pieces together from a sorting bin and just stuck it on there. Unfortunate, but the plane itself is incredibly cool. I think you misunderstood my comment? I meant that it really doesn't matter if Brickbeard's Bounty has those bigger pieces. dax, this topic is about the Flying Wing, please take debates about the Pirates line elsewhere. Thank you. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Very cool except for the huge one piece wing. Quote
Lord Admiral Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for the review! I'm in agreement that the single wing piece is disappointing, to put it lightly. I'd much rather pay five dollars more for multiple-piece wings than this decal-laden single-piece wing. The best part about the multi-piece wing is that it wouldn't need decals, and you really could stage the fight from the movie on it, as opposed to being restricted to wherever there are studs. Of course, I'm heavily biased against decals, so take that comment with the appropriate grain of salt. The new printed clear pieces are nice, and I'm a huge fan of the canopy design opening like that. Though it makes me wonder whatever happened to the hinged canopy design on the older town vehicles...

Ras 74 Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Very nice review This is so one set to get. Which we got it here as well. Can you post a nice and big pic of the inventory side/s? Thanks in advance. -Ras- Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted December 1, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for bringing us this amazing review This is a must have. I just love the looks of this plane! Quote
KinGanon Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 WOW great review, but the truck does look a little funky Also Im not really digging the MASSIVE wing piece TLC came up with(although it cheaper that way) Quote
WookieeWarrior Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Nice to see the green can pretty much be avoided, other than the windsheilds, due to the wings having stickers. I can't wait to pick this one up. Quote
Clone Commander Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Neat I don't really like Indy but I might get this one. Quote
Numbuh23 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 The torso might be new. The pattern of the head has been seen in Spider-Man's Train Rescue an IJ Race for the Stolen Treasure, but this man is younger. His moustache is still brown.This is the head from the two sets you were talking about: This is the one that came from the flying wing: Quote
WhiteFang Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for this lovely review. I enjoyed viewing the Flying Wing very much. In fact, I think the design is done in a realistic manner, compared to the movie. I am very pleased with this set. Although some of us feel that the oil tanker is kind of ugly, but I think it's not bad in a way. At least, the color scheme looks compatible with the truck in earlier sets. Among the soldiers, the german torsos are still the nice looking. A great set, but a little costly though. Quote
welcomestranger Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I can see that new canopy making it's way to some fighter jet MOC's very soon! Also love the mechanic's torso! I can see him relaxing down on the beach... :) Quote
Wout Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Thank you for the nice review. The set looks good enough. Although I personally don't like the big wing, the green and dark green tones are very nice. A nice scene from Raiders of the lost ark. Quote
Legoking Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Wow, nice review. Now I really want this set. Quote
Bobskink Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Man, what a body The torso looks like a cool piece, but wasn't that german a litle fatter? He looks so homosexual. Quote
MrTools Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 it looks ok but it does not seem to be what i thought it would be . i was hoping for some moore details than this. but i do like the printed windows a lot along with the fighter minifig! but overall im notshure if this is the indy set for me... Quote
user Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 i know you probably wont read this but may i say this one of the best indy sets so far i love how they make it look camouflaged! Quote
NewRight Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Great to see a review of a set that isn't officially released and it is just a great review. Quote
JimBee Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks for the review! The figs are great, especially that German mechanic. They even changed the mustache and eyebrow color! The truck, however, is not that great. It looked a lot better in the prelim pics, but now the oil tank is a lot smaller and the front is so... plain. The Flying Wing is great though, even if it did use that ridiculous wing piece and stickers. 60 EUR, you say? Hm... if it was a bit cheaper, I'd have no hesitation in buying it... but I probably will anyways. Quote
