What’s your favorite 2023 Indiana Jones set?

[@BigMT9022]

Easy, Temple of the Golden Idol

[@BrickReporter]

The Escape from the Lost Tomb for sure

[@OPPENHElMER]

This one for sure! Pretty pricey but an amazing set depicting an amazing and iconic scene.

[@darthrevan4605]

The Temple of the golden idol

[@fritz404]

Fighter chase

[@maydayfigs]

Potentially one of the greatest sets of the decade. Absolutely love this one.

I'm a massive fan of this diorama, and I really hope Lego keeps up the standard with all future ones!

[@C_DODGER]

Hello there

[@lifeispuzzling]

I plan on picking it up first thing Saturday morning. Another diorama set I hope they release in the future is the Grail Temple with the three challenges from Last Crusade

[@Matteeeeeeee]

Did you see ashnflash's video? About the top 10 indy sets lego should make?

[@lifeispuzzling]

@@Matteeeeeeee I have not! I'll have to check that out

[@Captain__Penguin]

@@Matteeeeeeee yep I think it’s a good video

[@reeceparrish]

Worth every penny, hope we get more dioramas similar to this since it’s the best of play and display, along with accuracy

[@fritz404]

This set is so amazing, the functions with the rock and idol, the figs the build everything is just great. Wish the Star Wars 18+ displays were this good too!

[@Gzilla313]

The closest to this would be a diorama of the droid factory Anakin and Padme go through in Ep 2.

[@typo6616]

@@Gzilla313 They could've done an Endor one tbh, include the speeder chase scene, the bunker, and maybe the battle outside?

[@Gzilla313]

@@typo6616 that's not one continuous scene like the temple diorama. Better example would be the Bespin Duel going from the Carbonite Chamber to the hallway, to the catwalk.

[@apparentlyjeremy]

@@typo6616 lucky you

[@typo6616]

@@Gzilla313 insee what your saying. I just think endor would work cause although it’s not continuous, the scenes would still flow into each other and the backgrounds would be pretty much the same. The endor bunker could be a facade for the middle scene? Would need a decent number of figs tho like an MBS

[@nehemiahstoner7762]

Hey MandR just letting you know, you actually are able to use the whip on the play feature over the pit. You just wrap it around the piece up top and twist the knob.

[@alexboyajian2096]

I would've liked to see Jock and another warrior for $150. But still this is a banger. I fortunately have the old one so I can't wait to put these side by side.

[@catpro9139]

Its weird to see that 90s revolver mould still in use

[@crazydog1750]

3:40 Glad to see them getting some more use out of that new mould for the UCS AT-AT.

[@FunWithBricks1932]

Thank you for reviewing this set. I have a lot of respect for your knowledge of Lego and your opinions.

[@EJB9]

I really like this set, it’s really well done. My only (small) wish is that the boulder scene had a bit of a longer corridor to draw it out a little. Although, I guess compromises here give more room for details later on. But otherwise super awesome!

[@ssing7113]

That idol knob is tops! Brings the sandbag down. CLASSIC👍

[@scottdavis_34]

This set is nearly perfection. Definitely my fav of the three and a Day 1 purchase. Fortune and Glory

[@romanempire8139]

Man. I had the OG temple of doom set growing up as a kid. That looks INSANE

[@brotherfromanotherbrick]

I'm glad I waited to watch your review before watching others. Insanely high quality!

[@zacharystaats3602]

The plinth really makes this set stand out

[@ukyredpumas]

just got mine today , can't wait to start building it. thanks for the video!

[@kellybelcher2319]

Man this set is a beauty! I didn´t even know it had all of the play functions! Thank you for the review!

[@pres_4_ever]

This is awesome, I’m so glad I have Lego Indiana Jones sets in a time when I’m old enough to appreciate them. They should do a diorama of the grail temple from the last crusade!

[@SM1777Y]

Omg I used to have the original back in the day. This is a cool reimagining but the old one was definitely bigger and had a longer boulder track

[@lucyfox3080]

Picked all 3 sets up last week. Can't wait to get building them, gonna watch all the movies why I do it!

[@jbsargent1396]

This set is absolutely amazing despite its horrible flaw of having stickers for the quote tiles… I have held the opinion that cutting corners by adding stickers for the tiles instead of prints like the other dioramas have had in the past is a bad thing, and I have received a lot of hate for that opinion. I can’t believe how many people will just blindly defend LEGO even when they are wrong! I don’t think it’s right for a billion dollar company to raise prices and take away things such as prints and quality control that should be a given! LEGO just pulling their same old selfish crap. The set otherwise is fantastic though, can’t wait to pick it up! Hope they don’t use stickers for the new Star Wars dioramas!

[@stephanprommer347]

The Lego community and especially the US Lego community as some high amounts of fanboysm and copium that prevents any meaningful and justified critique of the Sets. Even on this channel I have rarely seen a review that isn't 9/10 or 10/10. The stickers are an absolute no-go and a slap in the face of any adult collectors especially with the price they are asking for this set. I myself have purged and sold all sticker sets out of my collection. That leaves me with the Star wars dioramas and mostly Cobi, MOCs and some sets from Chinese premium brands such as Pantasy. As you mentioned, I really hope that Lego doesn't pull the same shit on the new Star Wars dioramas which are laughable overpriced from what we have seen anyways. At least they won't be Lego exclusive so they will be heavily discounted day 1.

[@luffyandgokuskits]

This is like the ultimate diorama set

[@Thornsnstuff]

I genuinely gagged when I saw the spider on indie’s face

[@flipperchunkstudio]

dang, this is such a cool set, the minifigures are great and the build is fantastic.

[@leg0liver194]

Very cool implementation of the cult movie scene. The sticker as badge is like a smudge on this artwork. 5 stars minus a spike ..

[@larshbn]

Haven't bought a lego sets in ages but i guess i have to grab all of these indiana jones was my favourite lego theme when i was a kid

[@themememeister2557]

This set is so cool

[@HushtheMag]

7:54 I love how you end the video with poor Indie getting rogered by the boulder...

[@grill.daddy_3433]

I personally think that they should’ve made the first section a bit longer. Not much space for the boulder to roll.

[@jackyharuhiko]

Got this set at a deep discount at about USD90. Now that’s a great value. I just built it and love this set so much. The play functions are ingenious.

[@_Marshall_88]

The original version was my first ever Lego set as a kid thank you for making this vid this was so awesome to see!

[@GrandAdmiralGonk]

My favorite face sticker is the Islanders mask, in the top left

[@matthalo89]

Got this one for my brother for Christmas. I know he’s going to love it.

[@anthonymanuel55000]

Was almost done but now I have to start over the last section because I realized I did something wrong 😭

[@ianpittman6544]

If they wanted to include the plane they would have needed to add an extra plinth

[@legomasterreviews9268]

Can’t wait to pick up this set, great review!

[@ColeWalker]

You should re-review all the old IJ sets

[@kevbrix9686]

I can't stop playing with the features of this et, soooo fun and phenomenal.

[@De-Bricked]

I really appreciate the price point of this set because it feels on par with other licensed sets that cost $200+. It's the perfect size and has so much playability to offer with those cool hidden Technic elements!!

[@meganandremmie33]

my jaw dropped at the boulder drop

[@pear_bear]

Yo that was pretty sus at the end of the video! Indy taking a clap from the back by a boulder 🪨

[@SaturnCanuck]

Looks great. I love the mini-Fig head design too. Too bad about the stickers

[@legocolemantrebor]

This gotta be the best set of the yesr

[@legocolemantrebor]

Dang I said this before I even saw the motor functions, that’s insane

[@rgirard717]

Meijer has all their legos for 20% off right now. Just picked this set up at my Meijer for $120. Can also order on their website.

This set is fucking Fantastic! I'm ordering this when my check gets here.

[@bradman4505]

Dude same

[@gogossake]

Im not an Indiana Jones fan but that set is so well made i would spent my money on it without a single regret

[@ryandozier8053]

Didn’t you just watch these movies for the first time only a few months ago? Oh how I’d love to forget these and relive the discovery.

[@shotgun-enjoyer]

That is crazy I still have the one they made before this of the same temple

[@Kory_does_tech_stuff]

Great video man

[@devonport1978]

Tampo printing (aka pad printing) can’t do gradient colours. It’s technically impossible. All other sets that include name plates with printed pieces feature solid colours so it makes sense that the red to yellow to white gradient on the Raiders design had to be a sticker. They couldn’t replicate it correctly with tampo printing. That to me explains the reason for the Raiders sticker and I’m ok with the sticker being used. The white text plate could/should 100% be printed but maybe LEGO decided two stickers was better than one sticker and one print. Who knows?

[@brickbybricktogether]

Yey!!! I have been highly anticipating this video! 🔥🙌🏻

[@Gzilla313]

After Lego released the Ferrari Daytona SP3 with a printed fact plate a lot of people assumed Star Wars UCS sets would start getting printed fact plates, but with the diorama sets getting sticker display tiles are we still sure the UCS X-Wing won't have stickered fact plate? Seems suspicious!

[@Mandoshawn]

Just got this one yesterday. I love this set. Can’t wait to build it.

[@jeremyramsey1746]

Just bought it from Meijer for 120.00 they have a big 20% off lego sale. Bought the Creator Expert Camero for 120.00 also!

[@steelcurtain187]

This is epic. Those twist knobs are super cool

[@bmcallister1974]

Just started building this tonight!

[@i.d.modisett9176]

if you're not giving it 100% attention it could get messed up, feel that!

[@Ryecrash617]

I had no intention of getting this set but now that I've seen your video, I might change my mind.

[@theamazingbrick7015]

The skeleton in this set looks more realistic then LEGO’s clone troopers

[@CanadaBricks]

I absolutely despise how they used stickers for the front tiles instead of prints. Looks like it was just for this set though, thankfully

[@kosinale]

just purchased and it's on its way to me. And yes, I hate stickers in Legos too!

[@ryanNreallife]

I'll use 'plith' for everything now.

[@n.pags.99]

I’m seriously thinking picking this up. I’m not a die hard Indiana Jones fan but back in 2008 I bought those OG sets but never got the temple set which I kind of which I did plus it looks like a solid build. That plus the opening in this movie is always neat.

[@beetlejace2917]

Thank you I was thinking of getting this set and now defianetley getting it, another great review

[@yarnwomen3956]

The difference on the boulder in the set it’s lego but the original is round sphere plastic

[@eddiecruz8088]

Only complaint is the stickers for plaque

[@iptluhnar4742]

mandrproductions has made the sin of placing indiana jones satchel on the right side 🤯 haha good review either way, love the set

[@BrownSquid]

Ask MandR: The Young Jedi Adventures kids series just released a new set (75358)! What do you think about it? I personally don’t find it all that bad, but the new Yoda head is a little weird.

[@joedewitwomey9627]

It’s awful

[@ZealousIdeal2000]

I used your affiliate link because it was the only way I was able to see the listing

[@MandRproductions]

W lol thanks!

[@RyanConnollyArt]

If this set had all printed pieces, it would be a 10/10

[@559rideordie]

They should’ve added in the 3cpo r2d2 Easter egg like the movie

[@hyperspacecase1287]

Do you think Lego cancelled the Temple of Doom set to make a display diorama set like this? Imagine a temple set with the booby trap room, a ritual chamber with a cage that lowers down, and a mine cart chase. Then for the last crusade you do the same with the 3 trials before the grail.

[@mathra2523]

Best review I’ve seen of this set.

[@prebenandrejensen6172]

Why not include the other whip, the flexible one… to use in the entrance above the black pit.

[@hitoka3180]

the speeder bikes are obviously brown, only the lightning might make it look dark tan on a fraction of the frames, im disappointed because otherwise it's design i beautiful :(

[@Fuzztooth]

In ok with no pit sticker. It would probably look cartoony.

[@williamworrall8065]

Great review! I will definitely be picking this up.

[@johnaplin9848]

This one is just the best by far just like the lego up house and Rivendell hopefully I’ll be able to get the up house soon and then I’m going after the golden idol temple and Rivendell

[@Lewsand8134]

Satipo looks a bit older lol

[@harrisongwin6859]

Im mind blown, this is so sick

[@Ghosthunter...]

I was literiley building this set while watching the video

[@kylerdarlington1543]

A very fair price. I don’t know why lego overpriced the new Star Wars dioramas

[@thomasanderson5929]

I'd rather have Lego make the three challenges from The Last Crusade; The Pendulum, The Cobbles and The Invisible Bridge followed by the Knight of the Holy Grail with the Chalice that features Donovan, Elsa and the Knight.

[@Zunidrap]

Only the best is good enough. No print, no buy.

[@ActuallyLucasXD]

Definitely picking this one up

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

What an unit.

[@ironscatman]

4:59 if that isn't a UHF reference, I don't know what it could be.

[@davemustaine9687]

The rock falling is so satisfying

[@___David__]

I really like these dioramas. And I'm definitely getting it. But the stickers really f*cking annoy me. Seems to be just lazy cost-cutting and nothing else. At this price point, I'd rather pay an extra 10€ and have all the pieces printed. The mechanics on this one are really clever, though. I wonder how easy it would be to automate this. But I'll leave that to people who know more about animatronics than me.

[@davidboyd4026]

Very cool

[@LegitBabySnuts]

Quite honestly since I never learned a new word watching over 200 reviews on Ryan's channel I never heard the word "plinth" before. So I'm getting this and instead of saying "And there are knobs on the three bases" I'll say "there are knobs on the plinths"

[@Perplex_Pictures]

Hey MandR? Not related to indiana jones, but in the next question answer episode, please tell us when you think the next prequel Star Wars set will come...

[@crazydog1750]

I hope the plinths on the Star Wars sets end up being printed and not stickered on the quote tile. There are plinthty of ways LEGO could improve on their quality in that aspect. Still, I enjoy the plinthorea of detail on this set, it's very plinthtiful and I like learning new words as well.

[@chelbel0624]

You should have said “a hundred and fifty buuucksss” like the shoe guy from tik tok😂

[@jaymontana892]

As an owner of the 2008 version of this set, I prefer that one. (And not just due to nostalgia, though it certainly helps.) I prefer the purely playset feel as opposed to the diorama-playset hybrid style of this new one. The absence of the plane (and Jock) in the 2023 model takes points away from it, as it was one of the more engaging elements of the 2008 model in my opinion. The 2008 model also features spears to actually launch at Indy, swinging blades that represent Satipo's not-so-kid-friendly death, an extra skeleton, a boulder that has a shape accurate to the film, plus an aesthetic that, while using less pieces overall, has a color scheme that I feel much better captures the film. The 2023 model isn't bad, but I'd rather have the original. Just my opinion.

[@MrMosebysLobby]

I just noticed its not old indys figuere. Guess i gotta buy it separate lmao

[@stopwatchandroll]

Can’t wait to get them!
