Climb the stairs and fight a few more Thuggees near the cage where the village children are being held. LEGO Indiana Jones The Temple of Doom (7199) is a challenging set to assemble, and it really needs a 13-adult person to assemble it. It takes four hours to assemble it and be sure everything works properly. Overall, it’s a fun toy if you are an Indy fan, but it’s very time-consuming and challenging for a younger child to do by themselves. The set is also quite expensive, but it’s worth the investment if you’re looking for a unique and fun LEGO set. Availability The dinner scene, where non-Thuggee Indians are shown enjoying disgusting "food" consisting of bugs, live eels, and, of course, chilled monkey brains. Easily the segment of the film that has aged the worse, IMO. Honestly, I am surprised by many of the comments that I just read above. Chill out! All of these CRT buzzwords like cultural appropriation, colonization, values, etc, etc… Stop being a woke snowflake. These are toys (made for kids, mostly bought and built by adults), based on mostly adult film properties, marketed to children. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this Temple of Doom set, nor the Indy theme, itself. This is a fictional work, based on a beloved IP. To say that Indy sets are somehow insensitive or inappropriate, is both hypocritical and pure hyperbole. If you don’t like it, vote with your wallet, don’t buy it! LucasFilm spiking the set because they no longer feel ToD is the best representation of their values, OR Lego spiking the set because of the Kali statue feel like the most likely reasons to me.

That said, a few copies of 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey did manage to escape factories and end up at retail in 2020, and are now highly prized among collectors. If any samples of 77014 The Temple of Doom find their way into the wild, they’ll likely be even more valuable given the licence attached to them – and what would be their incredibly exclusive minifigures. I know, we don't get ALL of this from the first movie, but his characters motivations gets a little more revealed in Temple and Crusade. Watch out as the plane fires its stud shooters before landing and chasing Indy through a tunnel where its wings come off. You need to help Indy and Henry escape! 77013 Escape from the Lost Tomb – 600 pieces Honestly, I am surprised by many of the comments that I just read above. Chill out! All of these CRT buzzwords like cultural appropriation, colonization, values, etc, etc… Let’s avoid being woke snowflakes. Not likely anyone will melt if this set is re-released.All in all, a promising start to the revival. Before this, LEGO Indiana Jones totaled 16 boxed retail sets across two years / four waves of releases, covering scenes from four films. These give us very little in the way of new scenes, but do at least give us a couple more official characters (one of them *sorely* missed from the previous run), as well as greater builds for some of the previous subject matter, and we all know that whether anything else from the previous movies is coming, we should be getting stuff from the new movie eventually. So… cool! Cool cool cool. A new Temple of Doom set was expected to be released with the revival of the theme in 2023, but it has now been cancelled, its ultimate fate still unknown. Throughout 2022, the LEGO Group worked closely with Lucasfilm to optimize our planned product line up for the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones product launches in April 2023. The Thuggee cult could *almost* be excused because they're clearly evil religious extremists, but other elements in the film compound the problem.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has also been criticised for its portrayal of Indian culture since the film was released. Inspired by television serials of the early twentieth century, the film presents a rather negative caricature of India and one LEGO might choose to avoid altogether. Smash the tool barrel just to the left of the wooden door to get the wrench inside. Use it to repair the engine that runs the lift. Now break the other barrel under the ledge with the slave cage to get a shovel. Use it to dig in the sparkling area on the right to unearth a golden key. Use this in the mechanism under the ledge to raise a whip platform. Escape from the Lost Tomb building set provides hours of thrilling adventure with this detailed playset inspired by the Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark film. Help Indy search for the Ark of the Covenant in the snake infested Well of Souls and escape by climbing the massive Anubis statue and finding the hidden passage. With 600 LEGO pieces, this interactive playset will provide endless hours of fun for children and parents together.I've long recognised the issues with Temple of Doom. Even if we accept that the villains aren't supposed to be representative of Indians, and are merely an absurd cult, one can't escape the 'white saviour' narrative, whereby those Indian characters who *aren't* villainous are otherwise helpless and need rescuing by a white man (although, I disagree about the 'pigeon English' complaint; I suspect the American/English characters would sound just as bad, if not worse, were they to attempt Hindi, Pumjabi, Catonese or Mandarin etc. and it stands to reason that Chatter Lal speaks good English, since he was educated in the UK). The Kali possibility also makes sense to me as it's not just a depiction of a deity, but a rather distorted and evil depiction of said deity.
