The mechanism in the idol room is truly remarkable! Three actions with the turn of a single knob; I love it!!

[@jardex2275]

It reminds me of the coaster set, which tied all the mechanisms to a single crank.

[@gamerwho5898]

I had no clue it did all of them with just the single knob until watching the review, really gotta hand it to the designers on this one

[@hamsterdini]

I really hope they make more adult sets like this that have great play features. Its really the best of both worlds.

[@pbsraptor]

I completely agree. I don’t play with my Lego sets in the same way I did as a kid but it just fills my heart with joy building well-designed and innovative play features.

[@jaxolotl4783]

I love how these reviews get more and more cinematic with every installment. So many Lego reviews are so bland and boring, but the camera angles, lighting, and creative shots keep your videos very fresh! Keep it up!!

[@banriswirl6414]

The play features on this set are really impressive. It's all so simple, but the effects end up getting very detailed.

[@notjannet]

That gear & racking feature making the boulder spin is pretty darn clever. They definitely got an impressive amount into this set.

[@daniel_lifts]

A masterpiece of a set. Building with Lego bricks is slowly just becoming a new form of art at this point

[@RoboDuckie8972]

I love diorama sets when it comes to displaying and building them it's always such a clean and nice looking build

[@willjohnsnow]

Love how you're making great use of the probe macro lens! I bet they never thought it would be used for lego reviews but it works perfectly! 🎉

[@MrStrzalkens]

The angled sections give this set some depth which looks really nice to me. And the playability for a diorama set is outstanding.

[@Tyrest]

I wish more sets had this kind of mechanism to them. The movement of the boulder is really cool!

[@JustinSBarrett]

I must admit, I was torn on whether or not I wanted to get this set, but your video sold me within the first few seconds, and it just got more interesting as it played out. Great review!

[@theredbrick8500]

I love how the set has a lot of diversity in its sections. Not only does this give the build distinct a feel with all the separate mechanisms and a (presumably) enjoyable building experience, but, as something I personally look for in a lego set, there’s a wide variety of interesting pieces as well.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Wow. One of the best Lego sets I've seen in a while, and you really did a great job showing off all its features. It's unbelievably reasonably priced too, which is also rare.

[@fstcvc]

Amazing editing on your reviews! Always giving a lot of info, details, and opinions on sets in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely gotta add this set to my collection!

[@tomahawker1]

Great review! I love how you showed the walkthrough of the set just like the scenes in the movie.

[@jchootie]

Honestly, I love how your reviews are always straight to the point and that your well lit studio setup really makes every little detail pop!

[@Megatron9000]

This set instantly got my attention. I grew up with the movies too and loved the way they brought the scene to life with Lego. Great work, designers! 👏👏👏

[@pylesofmedia]

Looks like a super fun set! I loved how you used the probe lens through those tight spaces

[@TheRealT0PAZ]

It’s cool how simply the play features are implemented into the overall design. I especially like the boulder on the gear rack mechanism!

[@isaacvail]

I'm seriously impressed with how much play functionality was put into this set after comparing to other dioramas- the bar has been set a little higher for future sets and I'm all here for it! The ability to tell a story with these sets is all the more enhanced with these features. Thanks for the review, I think I will pick this one up when I have a chance!

[@joshuamonson825]

The gearing and functionality of the boulder drop is really lovely! Such simple mechanisms, with such a good effect. Thank you for what you do Tiago, I always love the unique perspective and thorough analysis you bring to your reviews!

[@TheWakaMinecraft]

I love that they kept the in-out flow of the scene from the movie, especially the boulder mechanism!

[@luca13-13]

I love how much Tiago puts in the hard work and effort to make these videos

[@TheDizyking]

What a wonderful set! Love the mechanisms and how they tell the story of one the most iconic scenes in Indiana Jones!

[@connorbasham9860]

I feel like this set strikes a wonderful balance between the traditional system and technic. Hope this sets a precedent for future diorama and other sets, especially the extensive features. Lovely video as always Tiago. I really like that you followed the movie sequence in the review instead of covering all the features in each third and then moving on. Felt like I was watching the LEGO Indiana Jones!

[@eldrickdsouza6667]

The mechanisms are really cool and being an Indiana Jones and star wars fan all my life this really a must have!

[@caleballgaier]

I absolutely love the play features on this lego set. I don't think I've seen one with that many.

[@FlipnoFox]

As accurate as the new hair hat combo is, one of the great things about the old hat piece was that you could reenact all the classic moments where Indy almost loses his hat - for instance the door closing scene displayed in this set

[@loon4830]

He does not almost lose his hat when the door closes in this scene

[@Bruised-Reed]

Raiders = door closes on whip not hat, Temple of doom = door closes on hat.

[@MartinBodin]

Impressive ornaments: I like how each idols are different. I wonder whether the mechanics could have used another color scheme to make it easier to blend into the theme (although it may have increased the price to actually hide it).

[@HenrikSrgard-zy6gm]

Thanks for the review! Was on the fence about this one, but now it's definetly on my wishlist😁

[@DavidFan793]

The play features on this set are insane!! Love the boulder mechanism especially! Thanks for the In depth as always!!

[@Didyus]

Wow this is such a good review! (I have definetely watched the whole video already)

[@lukedogwalker]

This set was clearly made with love, and a strong memory of those Sunday afternoon movies all of us pre-Nerflix generation kids grew up with! Love the clever mechanisms.

[@houdinijr.9638]

It’s so cool, I can’t stop rewatching it it’s so cool how far Lego has come especially when I wanted the first one as a kid. The mechanism is so cool and I don’t think any Lego set can beat that!

[@alessioulivi6734]

The amount of effort put into creating this set is tangible. Amazing

[@darkstar6957]

O mecanismo por trás da bola é super satisfatório. Mostrei o vídeo ao meu pai que ama Indiana Jones e ele ficou apaixonado com tanto detalhe e pormenor. Obg pelo vídeo.

[@joaogrilo4184]

Espetacular como sempre! Obrigado Tiago pelo teu trabalho =D

[@BHSmotorsports]

Always love the reviews and this one is no exception, especially showing the play features and how they work. Really cool.

[@jboveda]

I'm loving these reviews that are concise yet complete, and bonus offering a lego designer perspective

[@WiscomptonBoys]

The boulder spinning from the gear on the curved rack action is awesome! Clever set.

[@jdmousley2314]

i kinda like that you can see all of the technic building in the background. it kinda makes me feel like i'm looking at the other side of hollywood. like behind the scenes. great review!

[@timandjoshbricks6715]

Brilliant review! Made me really want it. Also, love those shots you made with the probe lens!!

[@FJSollX]

that spinning bolder is just so cool. Great review from you again!

[@lukecollinz2066]

This set looks really amazing a just a show piece but then with the functions it has, it puts it to another level.

[@akiathered]

Really impressed by the camera shots moving through the set. Great video.

[@brick.and.blocky]

This set really reminds me of being a kid and watching these movies in the cinema! Great review and shots as usual Tiago!

[@crazyhudson]

Thank you for the review, I’m glad you liked it, and gave a very detailed account of what to expect when building.

[@jamesbyrne2004]

I like the rolling boulder mechanism, very ingenious. Nothing really to fall off this set and makes resetting a breeze. I think this show piece set is really to allow people to interact with it rather than just look at it.

[@sebastianschmidt4493]

I love your videos so much, they are really well shot and edited. I also think you are one of the better lego reviewers.

[@MeYoutubes]

I really appreciate how concise and easy-to-follow your reviews are! Keep up the good work:)

[@W00dy_NL]

Tnx for the review, really brings back memories of watching the movies as a kid with my brothers. Considering to put it on my Lego wishlist now you showed all the cool functions😊

[@Blutzen]

This is such a cool set, and is exactly the kind of thing a parent could have on display and let their kids play with by turning cranks without worrying about the whole thing falling apart or important elements being lost

[@houdinijr.9638]

Thank you for showing us this set it’s so cool especially the last one with 3 things going on in the back bit one way to make it happen awesome!!

[@ALthefreshprince]

Loved the usage of the probe macros lens!! Really adds a nice sense of scale for the diorama from the mini-figure perspective!

[@BrianAchart]

Great review as always Tiago! Those probe lens shots are really nice, they really add to it!

[@NightDrawn]

Glad to see your stellar review for the set! Just got my copy today and it was a blast building! Now to rewatch the whole series!

[@lavedapeterlin3252]

Great review, I enjoy hearing you talk about the sets as both a designer and a LEGO enthusiast.

[@Turnip_aka_theweescotslad]

I grew up with theses movies and to see them now back in Lego really puts a smile on my face

[@aahventures]

Always such an in-depth review! I always watch your videos before deciding what to buy

[@capitainepotato4238]

Probably one of the best mechanism I've ever in an official lego set. It's so clever and I love it.

[@__maxmartinez__]

My earliest LEGO memories are with Indiana Jones LEGO sets. This is making me emotional, haha. Time flies.

[@bl4ckbird]

Great review as always. You're fair to the designers, critical where needs be, and you give great insights into the set as a building experience. Thanks!

[@Flor-ian]

I had the Raiders set from 14 years back as a kid, this is a very nice update to the design with some fantastic technical elements to it, I'll be grabbing this and the space set!

[@BrickHQ]

The intro, the breakdown of the functions, and showing the story with all the details came together as an amazing review, awesome job! Excited for the giveaway

[@LeoPanthera]

Man, loving all the mechanisms in these sets. Really showcases the clever work the designers do for just "toys" and it's really cool.

[@mcgigglepantscreations730]

I love your reviews. You have thoughts that others might not consider. I’ve been watching for a little while and have enjoyed your tutorials, which I know you don’t do anymore, as well as your Tuesday Talks. Looking forward to what you do next!

[@totallynotaj7918]

Great video going over all the features! One of the best sets I’ve seen!

[@Yuregenu]

I knew about the boulder and the door being able to move, but the whip crossing and (remarkably) the temple falling apart were a surprise! Wonderful set, definitely on my wishlist.

[@vikingsoup7531]

This set is so cool! Love the new camera you got to shoot Lego getting the cool shots in the review

[@jacobgatland632]

Great as always! Thank you for the well detailed yet concise review.

[@longpenguinboi5824]

i love how smooth the rolling boulder is!

[@skywardsights_]

that boulder is just mesmerizing, i would totally be playing with it all day if i had this set

[@colehall2209]

Got to play with this set today. Its a pretty neat set. The knobs feel and work great. Shows the whole beginning of the movie in one set

[@Campake]

Haven't watched you for a bit, but just want to say - great work with some of the shots such as the spin around a certain section of the build, great work!

[@nadais4736]

Amazing review as always. Macro shots are perfect and the refereces added too

[@jeffdodd2430]

Didn't know about all the play features on this set, thanks for sharing them with us.

[@LordMalhuse]

When i saw the Ball mechanism on the Emasaurus video mi mind got blowned away !!!!! I was like 5 minutes figuring out the mechanism

[@RavixFourhorn]

That little mini camera you got was really cool to see on this set! Felt like I was running through the temple!

[@nickroth6633]

I remember loving the classic version of this set, especially the upside down dinos as faces. I absolutely love the various idol faces on this one too. Thanks for the awesome review as always, Tiago!

[@Alex-Basurto-7]

Wow! You made me consider getting this one! I loved the rolling ball mechanism

[@jwbowl1]

Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie. I saw it in the theater when I was 9 and I really didn't want to go then, but I was blown away. I'm very happy to see that Lego has made new sets in this theme and I will definitely get this diorama.

[@Rickcarleson2152]

Agreed! Good Lego sets don't need to be expensive, the raiders of the lost ark is just another case in point. Love your vids!

[@a.c9130]

Ingenious mechanisms throughout

[@brickfairie]

Always a good review! The functions of this set are great. Thanks for what you do!

[@nightshift70]

Great video! I was on the fence about whether I was interested in this set but I’ve decided to add it to my list 😊 Thanks for the tour

[@FeralyFighter]

Thanks for doing this review, there is much more to this set than I originally thought.

[@nameless4012]

Always love the reviews, even if i had already seen 3 other reviews for this set, I still enjoyed hearing your point of view!

[@Booza23]

Excellent camera work once again! Your videos keep getting better!

[@D3ADP00LWAD3]

I had the original version of this set growing up so I really look forward to experiencing this updated version

[@BrunoPoloni]

I absolutely love the mechanisms in this set! I’m not even a huge Indiana Jones fan, but the building techniques are amazing and the price seems fair

[@TheRealBQ]

Always enjoy your detailed reviews

[@bobgreen1342]

The play features in this set are to die for! I love Indiana jones and seeing this brings back memories. I am totally getting this set for Easter!

[@genarolozano9088]

Great looking set and fun review. I really liked the colors on the stone head

[@Larkinfon]

The original version of this set was the first LEGO set I ever had. I still remember the rolling ball play feature and the big solid piece base it was built on. Amazing to see it reborn!

[@davidioanhedges]

I love that they spin the rolling rock, rather than just letting it roll, so that it looks so much better, and can be easily reset

[@austinwhipple7183]

Great review as always! glad I always watch until the last second of a video!

[@derrick6860]

I love the new colors and mix of foliage in the set! The details are amazing

[@theodorechatzopoulos1860]

Great review once again Tiago! Thank you very much for all the Lego specific comments and all the story involved in the set! :)

[@ericvanderaa]

I grew up with these movies in the theatre and have rewatched them Many times with my kids.
