[@joejunjulas7917]

I think the original is good for playing with as it has a lot of play features. The new one is more as a display piece and was made for us fans who grew up with the original set . I love them both ! One of the best lego sets created

[@jacseptionyt]

Oh you dont say

Honestly love this new wave, but really mad about temple of doom on the year short round gets an oscar.

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

We still have the rest of the year for other sets

[@Moonwatcher2]

​@@ErenTheWarcriminal im counting on you dooku

[@icemav5740]

All I wanted the Temple of Doom set for was Short Round, I really hope they release him in a later set

[@rustroomofdoom]

:( it’s sad that it seems this theme revival is already dead. And I don’t think it’s because of lack of success!

[@redwhiteandvibranium120]

To me, when comparing modern Lego to 2000s Lego, I think it's often a case of less is more. I didn't grow up with Lego aside from some of the early SpongeBob sets but like there's just a certain charm Lego sets had then. The simplicity of it worked to its advantage. I'd say both new and old have they're own sets of pros and cons so its really just down to personal preference. Just whatever you are looking for in a Lego set. I think older sets are better as toys and new sets are better for collectors who want these as display pieces. If the old set was being re-released alongside this for $60/$82 I would be more than happy just getting that one. Its just fun and charming as well as affordable. Its even bigger...sure it's less dense but yeah, just down to what you're looking for in a Lego set.

[@brandonhicks9926]

For me it really depends on what the theme is and how much I enjoy the original piece of media

[@zibberebbiz]

Right!! The new sets look cool on a shelf, but I never ever touch them again after I finish building them, they're not actually really toys anymore.

[@brettfrasco]

Can’t wait to see someone combine both of these, balancing the displayability and playability

[@stroyosh4670]

I hope they make a set down the line thats like a 10-20 dollar set for the air pirates plane, i think it would be pretty cool to see an update!

[@bungobaggins01]

That'd be cool, could get the UBF-2 seaplane, a vine for Indy to swing on, a new Jock minifig, his pet snake Reggie, and more Hovitos warriors. Although unfortunately the Indy fig would include that cobweb print again

[@stroyosh4670]

@@bungobaggins01 i dont think they’d include the cobweb print or a side built as that would probably bump it up to 30 bucks

[@brandonhicks9926]

I think the plane would probably be a $30 set by today’s standards but would be nice

[@owens.studios]

Raiders is my favorite movie of all time. Can't wait to pick this up. I have the original and this one looks like a decent remake, and works well as a diorama. Can't wait to display it

[@badassdanthepowerman6438]

I like the layout of the original set so much more than the new one, watched the scene the other day and the original seems a lot more accurate. I love the details of the new one though, a combination of the two would be ideal to me.

[@brandonhicks9926]

My thoughts too. But since I don’t have $800 to spend on the original set, the new $150 one will work just fine

[@petesbricks]

7:03 "Not that there's anything wrong with that"- Seinfeld? 😂

[@gtortillaz21]

Wow that's an improvement, the old one is rough but nostalgic

[@toinp1184]

i wish the new set was cheaper had more room where the boulder have the reaching into the light play feature and have jock and the hovitos warrior

[@mulder19x95]

I think the main difference between the two is one is meant to display and one is meant to play. The 2008 version was definitely meant as a play set which is why I think they included the plane so kids and adults can pretend to fly away. The 2023 set is more akin to strictly adult collectors who want to display it. In fact the 2023 set even specifically says 18+ on the set.

[@christofferrmer4036]

One of my truly favorites sets of all time, i freaking love Indiana Jones and the new set looks amazing. My favorite part is most likely the stone, i think it is a great way the made it in the new set

[@joevictor53]

It's sad that Lego was able to printing on dark colours better 15 years ago than they are now. The skin looks so much better there. I think when I get these sets, I might swap out the torsos to the old ones. Also the new Indy just has this baby face that doesn't look as good IMO. I wish someone would put the new hat+hair combo on the old head because I want to see how that looks

[@bigt7706]

Same i was crossing my fingers that he'd switch the hats

[@Moonwatcher2]

i think the old headpiece is outdated as heck.

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

I’m a 2002 kid and I remember the first Lego sets I ever had were the Indiana jones sets and looking at the older ones brings so much nostalgia for me

[@JuliaJuanaRodriguez]

Honestly comparing the old Indiana Jones sets with the new ones, I think the new ones are such good value, when it comes to price and pieces, especially if you look at the inflations the new sets are much better value for your money. And in almost all parts a clear improvement

[@dragonfeet9832]

I was definitely expecting thus great video. You're honestly the biggest Indy fan i've ever seen

[@georgepasymowski2508]

The 2008 set to me is better. More play options. Plus for 150 dollars most of the piece count is in the base and technic pieces...plus it's way smaller. Lego could have made this a Super set with more figures and included some spears like in the original set. I don't think I will be picking this one up. I have both the ghostbusters firehouse and the daily bugle. This set looks nicer but that's about it. And no way dies it compare with those 2 sets.

[@dojoworks7704]

The difference between these sets is that one is a playset and the other is more of a shelf display and tribute. Different target markets for each.

[@PedroSavioo]

The oldest one looks more like a toy, while the newest one is clearly for show. Its a beautiful set, i dont own the first ( i didnt even know it existed), but i want to buy the second because its a display set... and thats what im going for with lego... i dont have a place to play with them.. i prefer them exposed just like we expose art or other nice objects. I think thats why i love those +18 sets.

[@brickhead125]

I have to mention that I had this set as an 8 year old and I always thought you released the boulder by twisting the leaf piece holding it in place. I can't believe I'm just now finding out the door is meant to knock it down, now I'm so sad this set is lost to the bin.

[@icemav5740]

It’s never too late to rebuild. A few months ago I took it upon myself to rebuild my 2012 Batcave even though it’s been dismantled in my huge Lego box for close to ten years. It took me days but I completed it and it was incredible to see it fully built again

[@brickhead125]

@@icemav5740 I would really like to take the time to rebuild it. The only problem is that I've used those pieces in so many of my own builds over the years that it would hurt even more to destroy my own childhood builds. I made a really cool Star Wars base using the big grey plates in this set and I don't think I could part with it now lol

[@GregOrCreg]

Brilliant review. So well structured and thorough. Thanks.

[@braydenvillarin6084]

*What if it would be more interesting that if you combine both pieces from the 2008 and 2023 Indy Sets, it’ll form into one big display…* (Just saying)

Once I get the new one, I’m thinking about doing just that!

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Fantastic comparison! Very helpful - thank you.

[@BonkyBoko9]

I’m glad to see the theme is returning, but nothing can really beat the charm of the originals. I am also disappointed in the box art, you pay $150 for it and it’s just a black box 😢

[@joevictor53]

They need to get rid of the dull boring black boxes for a lot of sets. It's fine for stuff like Lego Art, the helmets, UCS sets. But other things like Lego Ideas, the Icons vehicles, Fairground Collection looked so much better with actual effort put in and boxart making the set look nice

[@Moonwatcher2]

​@@joevictor53 box art in big boxes just looks nostalgic in general

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Are you buying it for the box? After you build the set you’re going to put the box in a closet. Who cares what the box looks like.

[@BonkyBoko9]

@@VAULT-TEC_INC. it matters because it’s trying to appeal to people, the other sets have cool backgrounds, and this one just has a black one. I mean if it’s gonna be an expensive set and they are trying to appeal to people, why make the background just black?

[@SourChicken1856]

​@@BonkyBoko9 Because it's a fucking box mate, that's why

[@anthonywill3858]

I like the original set better, the new one does look very good though.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

I’d love someone to combine the best of both. The size and play features of the original and the detail of the new set mix into one

[@C.A.Nanney]

I love the new LEGO Indiana Jones minifigure update. It’s like they really portrayed it from Harrison Ford a lot more ever since the Han Solo minifigure updates in the LEGO Star Wars sets.

[@Maniac4Bricks]

I never owned the original so the only bias I have is seeing it in the catalogs. That said, I like the expense of the original but the 2023 version improves on almost every other way. If I bought the new version it would be nice to touch up the opening with the ball run, but I'm impressed by all the Technic functions from start to finish, aside from the rope swing. Thank you for the comparison!

[@brandonhicks9926]

I think I would try to find a way to add just an extra inch or 2 on the new set for sure

[@Moonwatcher2]

​@@brandonhicks9926 easy as theres technic holes so you can add more fun stuff.

Loved the 2008 temple escape set as a kid. Will definitely pick this one up

[@charchar2267]

The old one looks better to play with for kids because it's larger and easy to move the figures around but the new one is a better display model, as its ment to be. But I'd prefer the old one because its actually got places to put the figures and is longer. Which is more accurate.

[@mitchellemerson6916]

The old set is one of the few sets I played with a ton. It was perfect for replaying over and over again. Normally I’d get bored of a set and quickly break it down. This one lasted quite awhile.

[@tylertheturtle1733]

[@caesar7734]

What is better about the old one are the spears, the plane and the longer distance for the boulder to roll. Everything else is done better on the new one.

[@jasonschlierman412]

On the point of which one is better, apples and oranges. Depends on what you are looking for, they both have different strengths. What I’m interested in doing that said is finding a way to combine both! 😀

[@wowsuchname1939]

Adding something as simple as jocks seaplane, maybe with a river diorama, would’ve elevated this set so much.

[@GirthyBanana69]

Great video

[@geekstrong1]

Great comparison 💪🤓

[@MisterBrickJunior]

So amazing sets

[@mathijnd]

I like the old one more. The new one seems to small and crowded. The rooms need to space to breath

[@mr_chicke]

Tip: if that ONE little green piece at the bottom of the idol technic things is backwards, the whole sequence is backwards. I learned from personal experience.

[@myeviltwinbrother]

Hey, fantastic review. It my greatest LEGO related regret never buying this way back then... BTW, just heads up, your title and description references set 7632... It should be 7623. More people will find your video if you update it. Keep up your good work.

[@PKIllinoisFIN]

Hi, what if you mix the indy versions? 1. original legs 2. new shirt 3. original face 4. new hat 5. bag

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

I think those those larger plastic pieces are actually more expensive to produce so it’s probably close to a wash when it comes to price.

[@Mr_Matty007]

You should upgrade the new Indiana Jones minifigures

[@sssprejer2831]

Could you swap some of the hats or faces with the new minifigures. I'd really love to see how they look with combined pieces. Otherwise very cool video, you seem really passionate about the sets and thats great! Keep it up!

[@noelio67]

Got the 3 new Indy sets today.....Love them ❤....Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘

[@TheLegoLinkYT]

I wish the new set included jock but it's still amazing. The original is cool as well

[@Timbermannetje]

The old one looks unfinished.. The new one is amazing!

[@AwsomeRod]

I really like both of them. But definitely do like the Ghostbusters firehouse. Still trying to find it to add to my collection though.

[@charchar2267]

I think we should of had 1 of the indy figures from the 3 sets to come with a hat with no hair because his hat always falls off in the films and we could of also had an updated hair piece with no hat attached. Instead of having all 3 new figs having the same hat/hair piece.

[@Joeclone2001]

I put the old head on the new Torso I couldn’t get used to the new face print lmaoo

[@deadbygaylight]

im so confused by satipo's hairpiece,it almost looks exactly like ron weasley's original hairpiece. can somebody confirm? it looks quite different in some spots

[@JillMcDonald]

The 2023 set is my favorite Lego set of all time and the minifigures are more detailed than the older ones🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@apache_pilot365]

I think if they did a set to go with this with another warrior, Jock and his plane, and indie all in a set, maybe called “Jungle Escape”

[@GnomesForever1]

17:17 They ar both like reeaaaly great

[@DCT-tt8ib]

I’m a bit biased towards the original due to the fact it’s one of, if not my most wanted set of all time (That and I like how it has Jock’s plane and the dart trap is less of an afterthought). But I will not lie, the 2023 version is a beyond worthy successor.

[@paulmanta]

I have just bought a second temple set to add more room to play, I love the new set but it is too cramped and needs to be around a third as long as it is. I'm adding a blow dart room and making the ball run longer, i am also adding a better outside area by the entrance, once the tribe figures are on bricklink I am going to add a few more to surround Indy as per the movie. I also want the Plane, and pilot too. All the best elements of the early set with the newer ideas of the later one.

[@satansshadow218]

I prefer the older indy design. It had a more mature look to it. The new design, while good, makes him look very young, and the printing looks more cartoon-y. Belloq's printing is a vast improvement, although I'm not sure how I feel about the sweat printing. While accurate and immersive, it limits playability. Also, if you want to buy the figure for a custom character, it's also limited. Same with satipo.

[@Ravenwood1936]

I never had the 2008 set but I would say the 2008 said it's a lot better with play feature-wise and for the nostalgia

[@devin_leary]

I had the 2008 one growing up

[@mikeslovak5589]

Here is how i view it. The original lego set was designed as a play set and can be used as such because the people buyingor recieving lego at the time were usually parents who liked indiana jones and had kids or kids who just liked the movies (me). The new lego set is a diorama. Now that all those kids have grown up. They also remember that lego set but unlike at the tine of the originals release we are all adults now. Most people dont play with lego like its supposed to and indtead display it. So it makes sense for it to be more static over moveable.

[@SiriusxStar]

The old Belloq,s face is the same one used for Draco Malloy in set 5378 Hogwarts castle

[@speeddemon5359]

Happy the theme is coming back. But I wish this set came with the plane tho.

[@EzioAuditoredaFirenze]

The "dedicated spots" for the two mini figures in the new ones have so little space, that they're standing only halfway on the set!

[@FizzyMcPhysics]

I really prefer the print on the old Indie torso and legs. The shirt and jacket look more rumpled, it's easier for the eye to pick out the details too. On the legs, the old belt has much finer detail, with great belt loops and touches of gold on the pistol holster and belt end. The head and hat are much better on the new one, though, for sure. So I ve put the head and hat on an old figure. I don't miss the back detail at all.

[@neonreuben5031]

the temple escape set came out literally the day after I was born lmao

[@1977Eelco]

I think the 2023 version is great! Would have been even better if they also included an updated plane :)

[@dycast8561]

The old one looks more fun and makes better use of less pieces. New one I admire the detail they put into it but not big on it leaning more into the display aesthetic

[@thebrickmaster4549]

I would definitely have to go with the new one’ I used to have the old one back in the day and back then for me it was considered a really good set and still is’ I’m picking up the newer version next week and I have to say it definitely looks better with more colours of green foliage wile the old one just had one plain colour of green for the whole thing’ and another problem with the old one was that I could never get the image out of my head that the two long tubes used for the bolder looked a lot like train tracks in some sort of way’ and that sadly kinda pulled the whole feeling of it being a temple away from it.

[@btmanimations7079]

Temple of Doom better come out, Short Round just won an Oscar!!

[@MuensterQ]

isnt the new satipo hairpiece the same one they gave doc oc in the spiderman 2 sets, just in a different color? That's hilarious, considering these sets are almost 20 years apart!!

[@colly407]

Its surprising that they had us MAKE the giant rockball instead of just giving us another rock ball piece but who knows maybe someone simply Misplaced the ball mold piece in a drawer somewhere lol

[@kratos823]

OG Indy minifigure is better

[@jkirl]

the new hat hair combo looks more like garth ( the guy that gave young indy his hat ) than indy himself.

[@amonacelliruiz]

Hey my man I have a question we all know these are like some kind of remakes from the old Lego sets and well we hope the temple of the doom comes out, so do you think that there will be Indy sets from the new movie?

[@trentinocerra3346]

Hi hate to say it but the prior release was so much better than this one. I can attest I had the kingdom of the crystal skull set and it used similar plate pieces as well as a large raised baseplate. Not only that but said thick plates were used in the set shown here and it was one set that I wish I had when I was young But I am so glad that they brought this theme back !

New set looks great, but I prefer the length of the old one
