REVIEW: Indiana Jones 7199 The Temple of Doom

[Such]

Just a great review. Really enjoyed reading it even though I had already built and bought the set.

I have to say this set probably depicts my favourite scene from all three (not a mistake) Indy movies, and I was really excited to buy it. I had such a fun time putting it all together and i think the size of the whole set really makes it something to behold at the end of making it. I feel like your criticisms of the set are all pretty valid. I really would have loved to have the mine cart chase and temple put into separate sets because there is a lot of lego action potential unfulfilled. I think probably my biggest suggestion to lego wouldve been to design a fork section of track and two parallel tracksfor a short section so we could have recreated dangling Short Round between two carts. I also feel to have Willie in the set but not include the sacrificial cage was disappointing. The mechanism from the film and the cage dangling would've been a perfect addition considering the height of the temple piece. I think there should have also been a conveyor belt where Indy has his fight with the foreman so we can re-enact his crushing victory (terrible pun i know).

I also feel like a little maharajah figure would not have gone amiss here. Even though I hate that kid.

I'm so glad Lego chose to make this into a set but also dream of what could have been.
