Take a Wild, Imaginative Ride With Indy and His Gang
Based on the film -- in which Indiana Jones seeks to recapture magical stones from an evil shaman and return them to the village that depends on them -- the Temple of Doom provides an action-packed, narrative setting to inspire imaginative play. In addition to the 37-inch mine track, this set includes a detailed recreation of the movie's skull altar, two mine carts, booby traps, and plenty of creepy-crawlies. The Temple of Doom comes complete with six mini figures: Indy, his lady-love Willie, his kid sidekick Short Round, the evil shaman Mola Ram, and two menacing temple guards. In addition, there are plenty of features to keep the set interesting. Just when it seems like Indy is doomed, you can set a trap to derail the temple guards from their evil mission -- position a road block, dump rubble, or let loose a snake. Building the Temple of Doom
With 652 pieces and a colorful instruction booklet, the Temple of Doom took our two adult testers approximately two hours to construct. The process was challenging, but not too difficult with colorful step-by-step illustrations showing the way. Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Encountering snares on their journey down the extra-long track, the runaway mine cars are a huge hit. Other favorite features are the temple's trap door, the boulder-rigged mine shaft, the chopping sword, and the glow-in-the-dark temple decorations. One of the best features of this set may be the collection of mini figures, each of which has unique features. Indy comes complete with a removable knapsack and hat, Mola Ram has his signature horned headgear, Willie has long, wavy blond hair, and Short Round is characteristically petite. With such a detailed cast of characters, it's enjoyable to stage battles between Indy's crew and the elusive enemies -- with clubs, swords, guns, and more. Our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set allowed them to reenact Indy's quest to capture the magical stones and end Mola Ram's evil influence. They also appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set entertaining whether or not your child has seen the classic 1984 Indiana Jones movie. What's in the Box

 The Best Lego Set |
| Review Date: January 31, 2010 |

This is the best lego set I have ever put together. The trapdoors work great and the mine carts run very well on the track. You have to put the minifigures in just the right spot in the carts though, but once you get them in the right spot you can race into action! There is definitely danger, action and thrills in the Temple of Doom! This set is very, very fun to play
P.S. If the trapdoors don't open the fist time, open and close them about 25 times then put a figure on it and pull the lever. The adventure begins!

| My 10-year-old son wanted this for Christmas. Amazon was the only place I could find it after Thanksgiving that didn't gauge the price. It was reasonably priced and shipped quickly. My son loves Legos and this was a great addition to his collection. The track is very sturdy. The only thing is that sometimes when you pull the levers, they stick. But we would recommend this product. He has fun with it. |
Just what my grandson wanted...

| The toy is great fun for my 5 year old grandson. It offers hours of fun. Being a Lego toy, it comes apart when you move it, but he loves it. |

| A massive Lego set. Extremely entertaining. It is based on the mine car scene from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." An amazing Lego-ized version of this part of the film. Contains lots of characters and goodies! One of the best Lego Indy sets. |

| True to Lego tradition, I was very pleased with the way this toy was enjoyed by my two boys. They were enthralled for several days in the lengthy assembly of this toy set. Once assembled the boys ripped it apart and used the legos to make a multitude of othe imaginative things. I do thing the set was a little pricy though. |

| Although a bit pricey worth every penny. I purchased it for my 6 year old Godson and he absolutely loved it. It kept his attention for hours and was simple enough for him to assemble . |

| Reviewer: JAR, Los Angeles, CA |
| This set is quite expensive, and really needs a 13-adult person to assemble it. My husband said it took like four hours to assemble it and be sure everything worked properly. Overall, a fun toy if you are an Indy fan, but very time consuming and challenging for a younger child to do by themself. |
Pleased

| I knew the toy would be great and my grandson would be pleased with it, what I really like is that Amazon had this in stock during the holidays when other big box stores were out of the product on line and in the stores. I count on Amazon to often have the hard to find items.... and I not often disappointed. |
