[@MandRproductions]

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

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

[@StormX6]

This set is a true testament to what Lego’s potential can be, a great model building system that can provide the most detailed displays and functional play experiences. It’s truly a masterpiece

[@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

[@ChuckD008]

Honestly each of the 3 scene-dioramas could easily be priced as individual $50 sets. Its such a dense set with great play mechanics. 100% worth the price

[@SMCwasTaken]

I hope they won't retire it

[@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.

[@ssing7113]

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

[@ukyredpumas]

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

[@catpro9139]

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

[@brotherfromanotherbrick]

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

[@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!

[@crazydog1750]

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

[@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.

[@romanempire8139]

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

[@_trashvis_]

this was awesome. definitely the best diorama set. so many different play features as well! it was beautifully designed and the light brick was a nice touch. wish they would incorporate it more. sets like this really benefit from the light and add more atmosphere as a display.

[@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!

[@musicaluprising924]

Dude, I was already interested in this set from looking at it on Lego’s website, but your review has definitely made me want to buy it! I may buy this when I’m done my first year of university.

[@kellybelcher2319]

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

[@mitchslego6601]

I think you have really grow as a person, KZbinr, and reviewer over the past few years. I used to be a bit of a hater because I really believe you were much too negative about Lego. That’s not to say you were not right in what you were saying, just how you were saying. I think recently you have landed in a place where you state the criticism without over doing it. All this to say, you have a renewed my faith in your great channel. Congrats on the house :)

[@scottdavis_34]

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

[@HushtheMag]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Bruhmomento463]

Man I hope Lego makes more, big Indy fan and just started getting into Lego as a adult and Lego Indiana jones was my childhood.

[@aidianajones]

I really wish Star Wars Dioramas had such intricate features. I haven't seen such interesting mechanisms in a LEGO set for so long.

[@zacharystaats3602]

The plinth really makes this set stand out

[@_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!

[@miqvPL]

at first I was thinking "why a diorama, why not a playset so it has more space" but then we got to the last section and I'm bought, it looks beautiful and it's probably the most complex mechanism I've seen in lego system since that V19 torrent wings. Flaws you mentioned dont stop me from giving it full 10/10 score

[@StrikerFX47]

This is my probably one of my favorite scenes out of all the movies. I have always wanted a set of this scene. This might have to be one I get.

[@Therenegaderoses]

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

[@luffyandgokuskits]

This is like the ultimate diorama set

[@matthalo89]

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

[@kevbrix9686]

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

[@Kory_does_tech_stuff]

Great video man

[@flipperchunkstudio]

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

[@steelcurtain187]

This is epic. Those twist knobs are super cool

[@beetlejace2917]

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

[@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

[@Mandoshawn]

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

[@themememeister2557]

This set is so cool

[@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 ..

[@AG-OldmanBrick]

I definitely am going to pick this one up, the stickers for the plaque are disappointing but still a must buy. I would have liked to see one more Hovito tribesman included. All three of the Indy sets are must haves for me.

[@legomasterreviews9268]

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

[@vampiresquid74]

woah I wasn't aware of the boulder mechanism. that's awesome

[@anthonymanuel55000]

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

[@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.

[@brickbybricktogether]

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

[@ilyavekselman9341]

Indiana Jones sets are sooooo good! I really want one of them!!!

[@meganandremmie33]

my jaw dropped at the boulder drop

[@jawajuice31]

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

[@warhammer1995]

So easy to get the skin tone matched. Just need the Pantone booklet for the ink used. Hold the skin colored cards up against the minifigure head until you find the match. Then a base color of white printed where the skin will be on the torso, to help keep the opacity of the the skin colored ink being printed over it. Can't print light colors over dark ones, it's really the basics of color and design. Worked at a bmx company that is much smaller than lego. We took the time to match the red rubber tires with the color red we'd be using for the bikes decals. A process lego should take when working with two different materials and color matching.

[@mrbushwookie6051]

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

[@bradman4505]

Dude same

[@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.

[@MB-be1ew]

If a Lego set has a very detailed set and multiple play features with references in it, the new movie is going to rock.

[@SaturnCanuck]

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

[@kosinale]

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

[@rivergrapentin3244]

Great review. Have you considered doing one of Rivendell

[@ColeWalker]

You should re-review all the old IJ sets

[@ThatBoeing747Guy]

Amazing set! Amazing video!

[@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!!

[@mathra2523]

Best review I’ve seen of this set.

[@Ryecrash617]

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

[@frogonket]

I just got the ucs at at I've been saving since it was released

[@williamworrall8065]

Great review! I will definitely be picking this up.

[@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.

[@bmcallister1974]

Just started building this tonight!

[@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

[@shotgun-enjoyer]

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

[@nicholaselsass1186]

In regards to the pit, it might just be the camera and lighting but to me the black makes a reflection of the wall and it looks like an actual hole. A sticker would’ve been nice but at first glance in the video it looked legit.

[@psychopony666]

It would be cool if there was a Johnny Thunder set like this going over all the adventures.

[@pear_bear]

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

[@ianpittman6544]

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

[@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

[@Notmyusernane]

Bro thank you for the review, now I know if I want to buy it

[@ActuallyLucasXD]

Definitely picking this one up

[@Lewsand8134]

Satipo looks a bit older lol

[@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.

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

What an unit.

[@tylergomes6849]

That is a cool set. I'm so happy they brought Indiana Jones back. The only thing I wish is they didn't use stickers and used printed pieces.

[@arghjayem]

01:50 Stickers, plus yet again a lack of leg printing on the figs. I can see TLG’s thinking “ we have to do leg printing on the Hovitos minifigure, because well he’d be naked otherwise. And obviously we have to do it on Indy, he’s the main man! As for the other 2? Just give them any old unprinted legs!” Bare minimum springs to mind rather than premium set!

[@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.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Thank mate. I managed to preorder these 3 Indy sets in Australia from Lego. I didn’t realise I had over $100 worth of VIP points as well so it worked out well plus got 3 free bonus gifts including an Easter Bunny in a basket lol.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Why is the big Indy set so cheap compared to Rivendell or is that just to do with licensing cost differences? . Or more to do with certain parts used?

[@Captain-Bricks]

I’ve been waiting for this review

[@prebenandrejensen6172]

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

[@iptluhnar4742]

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

[@stopwatchandroll]

Can’t wait to get them!

[@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

[@mrwitcher8324]

@MandRproductions I’m actually kind of glad they made the plaque a sticker because I’m just not going to use it! I just want black there anyways.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I think Ryan says Lego’s Only The Best quote more than they do

[@RyanConnollyArt]

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

[@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!

[@My_Legs_Hurt]

I'm sad Lego cancelled this theme. The sets were well made and reasonably priced. First time in forever I bought every set in a Lego series.

[@harrisongwin6859]

Im mind blown, this is so sick

[@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!

[@runeberntzen3890]

Something is wrong with my mechanism. When I turn the nob then the place where the golden idol is turns up and the face above falls down😢 The thing that the golden idol is standing on is supposed to go down and the face above falls. But it doesn’t do that i need help😢

[@Mr21scott]

On mine, it is VERY difficult to turn the knob to the right, as if you're going to break it. Yet mine looks just like this and like the instructions say it's supposed to be. I wonder if some sets just aren't made right.
