Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Tokmoc Temple of the Holy Grail

[@matti3658]

Michael knows his shit, if only everyone else would put this much effort and knowledge into their vids

[@cowpuddles4851]

Commies offed over 100 million innocent people. What’s with your thumbnail?

[@TroyPacelli]

Nice. Looking forward to the mine cart chase from Temple of Doom... :D

[@Noonereallylol]

It got cancelled unfortuately

[@Darthbauer951]

Not a Lego collector but will gladly watch Indy Last Crusade content from RB

[@VorpalDerringer]

The Hatay guard took his AK47 from the same place Indy got his RPG-2 from Raiders. Impressive result from Tokmoc, this really tops most of Legos efforts in the Indy space.

[@1978pq]

I just started collecting Lego. The first big set I bought was the Indiana Jones Temple of the Golden idol. I'm glad I got it for the collection.

[@basilkarlo1557]

Loving that hat Retro! Greetings from Los Cabos San Lucas

[@Stopmotionguy2049-cf2bp]

So cool! Really wish they’d make this the way they did with the Idol Temple

[@batangbatugan]

I love how Michael's adage still rings true: The fans are doing the best work! I'm really impressed with the mechanism of The Word of God, a series of axles to push the plates back up is ingenius.

[@bufordhighwater9872]

Tokmoc isn't a fan. It's a fairly large Chinese company that manufactures third-party "Lego" sets, using copies of actual Lego parts, sans Lego branding. It would be next-to-impossible for a fa to manufacture a set an 1/8th the size of this temple set.

[@EntretuGaming]

@@bufordhighwater9872 yeah but it was designed by a fan

[@MichaelJShaffer]

Fun set and very nicely improved by you. Very cool.

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

Very nice! It is impressive when a company puts a higher effort into their toy designs. It shows a love for the source material as well as a love of kids playtime. Great video review.

[@seereadnhear]

Thanks for an honest review.

[@raycerx87]

Love this video and sent it to my brother who is a huge Indy fan

[@kevinandreneemclendon3059]

Hi Michael very nice video on Indy. Like the changes you made as well.

[@Ksknight100]

NIce toy and some fun features. Your customs and accessory additions much it much much better though. Top video Michael, thank you.

[@MartinNOrtiz]

I seriously enjoy your analysis on every collection video. You’re dope, dude!

[@bashcrash9148]

I like it. But. I’m still grumpy we didn’t get the canceled Temple of Doom set from Lego.

[@AllBreaksLoose]

Here I am enjoying a drink and surprise! A new Lego video from RB! Yep...it's a great day! This is the first Lego style set I've seen with mechanical action features like these.

[@JJ-uy2sg]

Man, a drink and an RB video. Yup that's a good day. Enjoy.

[@cowpuddles4851]

Such an iconic moment from the trilogy. Just the theme music from Joseph (the knight) gives me chills.

[@WagesofCine]

Very cool set and great review!

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I really like this set. When you were going over the figs I thought “this rings bad for the set itself.” But I’m very impressed with what was done. Thanks for sharing.

[@Midnight_horrors885]

Been thinking about buying this glad a proper review is out

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This is a great alternative for any Indy enthusiast.

[@somarriba333]

This is awesome.

[@cypherian2]

This set does look amazing! Can't wait to see your improvements in a follow-up video. I was thinking back to your WELL OF SOULS built and wondering if this set could be made more epic.

[@sillypolplays]

That's really neat! I hope we could get a glimpse of all your Indy sets together!

[@christianbrix4311]

My favourite Indy movie. I know I'm in the minority but I love it

[@kba702]

A fun review of what looks like a decent effort at filling in a major gap in the official line. It really is puzzling how Lego never did this (or even just the Grail room at the end).

[@brycevo]

Kinda sad Lego Indiana Jones was cut super short

[@PurpleBox89]

fr though.... :(

[@impossiblepie]

Cool set, the break away floor with the letters is a great play feature.

[@jeremykerr3871]

Hasbro could learn a thing or two from Tokmoc on the proper use of cups in a playset. Great video, sir.

[@WolfStrife]

Very cool!

[@martinmalloy5997]

Great video, best one for a while.

[@retroblasting]

Whatever. I've been proud of all of the videos I've done this year and I put an equal amount of work into all of them. Very likely, you haven't even seen them and been letting KZbin do your surfing for you.

[@stikfajosh7357]

Fantastic!

[@jessecowled5764]

There shall be three challenges and the number of challenges shall be three

[@fp2002]

I have already started doing this customized set myself into a more of a Lego set style of a Lego Moc.

[@georgelea4297]

Looks like a good playset

[@hrtz8499]

Nice set! And good suggestions of how to make figures look better...If only someone would remake fight on a flying wing set!

[@LudwigPaiste28]

Hiya Mike! Hope all is well! Another great video, sir .

[@tgraz559]

Well I don't do Lego but still liked and thumbed up the review for your talent. Thank you.

[@wesleyhendricks2486]

Nice video. Please add an update video when you get the correct pieces chanced out. It's really helpful for those who want to follow suit.

[@chriscummings4206]

I'm not just here for the LEGO, I'm here for Michael's command of the English language.

[@MayumiTakezoC-chan9377]

yah! made me and my husband’s day

[@mikelillyart]

Thx for this video and your previous Crusade Tank vid. Great stuff. I'm doing this now. As a big Indy Lego collector I'm filling in the gaps (Map Room from Raiders -got a custom Indy figure with Staff of Ra printed element and Rope Bridge from Doom using a Lego Ninjago Master Falls bridge as the sketch model to moc and mod). Just completed the Hatay tank using a knock off brand (not the TMS one) but another unknown brand and moded almost the whole thing. Cobbled together 8 figures even 3 grail guardians with rifles. I bought the Grail one you've reviewed here but haven't built it yet. Still for Crusade I'm planning on the opening scene train with the magic caboose, snake car, and lion car (this will take long to put together properly). Working on Dial of Destiny moc's right now (first off building right now the chase with Nazi staff car and two motorcycles with side cars). Lego did none as you know, which is what I thought was their marketing plan. Having those initial redo 'nostalgia' kits, then do a full line for Dial. On a side note, what I know having done a marketing thing in person with Lego reps in NYC, is that they set a price point before they build. About 99% of what they do is this way. There is always designers doing sketch models on their own and some do make it through. But building to a price point is set from the beginning on any project. So they set that $150 Temple set which is why it's the best one, most pieces, biggest budget for that line. Then two $35 to $40 sets and the $80 - $100 kit was the Temple of Doom redo. Lego was a coward to pull that set. Even the actor who played Mola Ram loved the role and was proud of the movie. So I don't know what pressure Lego got and from whom. So why they didn't do others you suggested is that they used up their larger budget on the $150 Temple of the Golden Idol. Still don't know why they didn't do at least a couple of Dial of Destiny sets. Easily a small Tuk-tuk chase, finding Archimedes Tomb would've had some fun play features (but might reveal too much from the movie?), and even the under water scene finding the Grafikos and eels - another with some fun play features Lego could've done. Planning on moc'ing those too. Cheers for your Indy vids...:)

[@scubapete9500]

So cool they did it in the style of the Raiders set! Cool that you actually took off the globe because in real life it’s only about half there.(We were there in 2019 and the guide was saying that it was shot at by the bedouins for ages due to the belief of it being filled with gold coins.💥🤩)Would be amazing if Tocmoc did a bunch of Temple of Doom sets just to rub it in LEGO’s eye.

[@coxystoycantina]

I think that set is awesome Michael, im not much of a Lego/brick world guy, but i am a big Indy fan and i love what i see. Thanks for this video. Still waiting patiently for your amazing seal of approval review for the Adventure Series line 😂

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Very interesting.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Looks interesting.

[@Steven_Andreyechen]

I would have suggested a General Veers head for the Donovan figure but looking at all the versions there’s only one that modern one doesn’t have the headset printed on, and quite frankly it’s not the strongest resemblance anyway. Something like cheap like Part 3626cpb2156 might work but it’s a tad generic

[@AkiraLionPilot]

Wow even the 2008 Henry Jones minifig was more accurate than this set’s Henry Jones

[@zachlennon2948]

As always, the fans are doing the best work.

[@ron5545]

"...from each of the _four_ Indiana Jones films." This is just one of the reasons why we love you, Michael.

[@cowpuddles4851]

Still really just three

[@ericchung3177]

Considering the Grail Knight in the film has a small goatee rather than a long wispy wizardbeard like the figure, I'm sure you could find more helmet options for the guy without working around the gandalf beard.

[@TimHayes]

Excellent video Michael!

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

The spider is a child of shelob, they live a long time.

[@candyjams8416]

Maybe cross of coronado ship set

[@jonathannichols4770]

May I suggest the Lego farmers hat for Dr Henery Jones Sr. While it's not the right color I feel it captures the look of the actual hat in the film way better than the helmet.

[@derekmcmanus8615]

I have very fond memories of playing with Lego as a child 40 years ago...to be honest I have several Lego kits stuffed in the wardrobe in my hobby room

[@EntretuGaming]

go get them 😈

[@legothoron1]

i would replace the knight's head with Ben Kenobi's and leave out the long beard, not sure what to do for Donovan though

[@Sano1970]

❤️❤️❤️ Another great video about another great product!

[@Chronically0nline]

The man himself!

[@MrDrokkul]

Why would they not mold the soldier's arms in the same color as the torso and legs and just print the black stripes on that?!? The choice to print sleeves on flesh colored arms is just baffling. Great Video!

[@NaiveSteve]

In regards to the floor blade, the clue that alerted indy was to "kneel before god" if a non Christian (specifically Muslim) were to figure this out they would have bowed and their head would be lobbed off by the floor blade. Indy could have thought of something like that and rolled in response. That's always been my rationale of the scene anyway

[@toarisebell]

Hope lego sees that they're leaving money on the table not making stuff like this

[@Nio744]

I always felt lego never made one because of the religious subject. Which is kind of wierd considering they felt it was okay to make the ark of the covenant

[@EntretuGaming]

Remember when he said he was only going to collect sets based on raiders ? That didnt go well

[@retroblasting]

We're all just doing our best out here, Master Chief.

[@PlainKen]

So after the Indy Lego stuff might we see some Star Wars Lego stuff, or is that a "brick" to much?

[@retroblasting]

My Lego ambitions must remain in a "lane." Like I said in a previous video, I have no interest in Star Wars Lego beyond admiration at a distance because I have all of the Star Wars action figure material I could ever want. I don't need a Lego repeat of those items.

[@GeohToy]

Just for clarification: I don't believe TokMoc designed this. Its very common practice that these designs are taken from Re-Brickable and other lego fan sites and are simply released without the original creators consent.

[@retroblasting]

I searched Rebrickable beforehand and didn't see anything like this. Show me the evidence. I'll accept it if you find it. But speculation without proof is only intended to sow doubt and cause trouble. The toy culture is too prone to this sh*t. Don't do it.

[@Aravix]

​@@retroblasting I'm actually going to be building this soon so thanks for making this detailed video! I've built a few things from Tokmoc and I love their stuff, my most recent was a General Grievous head. I was googling around after I finished and looked up "Tokmoc General Grievous" which pulled up various Tiktok videos, etc, but this also lead me to find "moc 79164". I'm still extremely new to Lego/BrickBuilding but I seen this comment and thought maybe you would find it interesting.

[@AL-ws5yi]

I’m glad I gave away most of my kid’s Lego sets otherwise it would have burnt in the fire.

[@MayumiTakezoC-chan9377]

13:12 this always bugged me but how did Elsa and Donovan get across? they were less than respectable. I can see both of them falling off

[@retroblasting]

He tossed sand across it after he got to the other side. They could see it immediately. More perplexing is how they both knew to step on the Iehova letters and not fall through the floor.

[@MayumiTakezoC-chan9377]

@@retroblasting exactly a big plot hole like the whole of disneys acolyte!

[@indyclonejr]

The second blade coming up for the first challenge actually makes does sense. I heard it from someone on TikTok & I'll try to explain it the best I can. So for Christianity you basically would kneel before God, but other religions might not kneel before their gods, they might bow. So if you were in the first crusade & set these traps up & would want someone who has true faith in Christianity that second blade makes a lil sense, so if someone who wasn't that went in & bowed instead of kneeling would still get their head chopped off. It's plausible now but wow Indy really knew that was gonna happen? Suspension of disbelief, gotta remind myself.

[@AVeg-f2k]

Figure LEGO doesn’t want to touch Grail Temple because of the religious connotations that some people may find offensive. Remember when LEGO Star Wars set 9516 Jabba’s Palace came out and there was controversy on how the big round building was “offensive” to muslims, if I remember right. That’s why the palace set based on Book of Boba Fett didn’t have the top part of the big round building, so the build itself doesn’t look complete.

[@retroblasting]

But.... they did the ARK OF THE COVENANT

[@BLUEWOLFJAPAN]

Bootleg Lego is a mixed bag. You can get something cool or get something bad.

[@retroblasting]

Pretty sure that's what I said.

[@captainawesomeness1307]

It’s simple… they omitted it because it’s Christian in its concept… no way around it. Can’t have a Grail without acknowledging Christ. Lego doesn’t believe..

[@timothyward8695]

Does the Bible talk about the Holy Grail?

[@Chronically0nline]

Yet there’s Christmas themed sets almost every year…. I get it, this sounded smarter in your head.

[@captainawesomeness1307]

@@Chronically0nline show me a Lego Nativity set. Santa and snowmen aren’t the same as a Holy Grail. There’s clearly a difference between something religious and something corporate in execution for products. There is certain symbolism companies shy from. Sometimes it’s a cross, sometimes it’s a swastika. Can’t make waves either way.

[@captainawesomeness1307]

@@timothyward8695 Matthew 26:27-29 makes reference to Jesus using a cup at the Last Supper. As far as it being called “The Holy Grail” in scripture, no. But that is what is referred to in the movie as “The Holy Grail” and is commonly referenced as such from early Arthurian legends.

[@sebastianlaquerre2334]

There’s a Taj Mahal and that’s a religious temple. I think it wouldn’t have gone against their values had they released a set.

[@therealthirst8099]

I'd be weary of these companies releasing these custom sets using knock-off Lego pieces. There's a decent chance that this is simply a MOC lifted from the original creator without their permission, given no credit and given no cut from the sales of the sets. This thing is commonplace in the KO Lego Star Wars sphere. When possible, always buy the instructions from the designers and use real Lego pieces. You'll be supporting them directly, and guaranteeing that your build will last.

[@retroblasting]

You're making a lot of assumptions, Chicken Little.
