LEGO Indiana Jones 7199 The Temple of Doom

Product Information

Generalized misunderstanding and inaccurate depictions of the goddess Kali as some sort of demonic figure." This isn’t the first time a LEGO set has been cancelled at the last minute. In 2020, the LEGO Group halted the release of 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey just before it hit shelves, citing its policy not to manufacture military vehicles. The explanation for 77014 The Temple of Doom’s cancellation is much vaguer by contrast, leaving the door open to debate and speculation around exactly why the 801-piece set has faced the chop.

That’s nice. The older Indi sets came out in the depths of my dark ages, so it’s the one theme I mostly missed out on. FREE PLAY: If you didn't bring a shovel from the slave cage area, don't worry. You can use a character with the excavation ability to dig up the skulls and get artifact piece #9 when you replay the level later. FREE PLAY: In the same section of tunnel where the Thuggees slide down from above, toggle to a Thuggee character and use the statue to open a vent in the floor. Step into the updraft to snag artifact piece #2. Naturally more Thuggees come running to see what's happened. As you fight them, one of the freed slaves goes through the crawlspace at the top of the steps on the right and pulls the lever there to raise the 2 square platforms below. You'll use these to reach the exit soon, but there's more to do here first.Excited for the idol temple as I always wanted the old one. The plane set is cool as well. It was weird to rewatch the Last Crusade at the weekend and realise (due to that set) that Indy wears a tie for a significant chunk of that movie. Weird choice cos he's not a tie type of dude. If it was at the Nürnberg Toy Fair, maybe they used the displayed set to monitor the opinion of the visitors, and decide whether or not to produce it? Personally, I was delighted to learn that LEGO Indiana Jones would be returning when rumours began to circulate earlier this year. I enjoy the films and loved the original sets produced in 2008 and 2009. However, I was also surprised to hear that the new sets would include 77012 Fighter Plane Chase and 77014 The Temple of Doom. Get ready to recreate an exciting scene from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film. Indiana Jones™ and his father Professor Henry Jones Sr.™ have commandeered a vintage convertible car and are being chased by a fighter plane in the air.

In fact, nearly ALL Asian men shown in the film are villains. The only ones who are not are women, children, the elderly guru, or the Indian soldiers who are part of the colonial army. Always sorry to hear about these late-in-the game cancellations. And the reasons behind them not to mention all the other non-stated reasons. LEGO’s new Modular Natural History Museum (10326) will be available in December instead of January 2024! Funny that this announcement should arrive the morning after Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan had a heartwarming TOD reunion at the Oscars. So…77014 has definitely been cancelled? Is there official information beyond what’s in the press release excerpt shown here? That wording is exceedingly vague, and doesn’t even indicate that there was ever a Temple of Doom set in the works to begin with, let alone what its exact fate is. Could it be getting delayed or redesigned, or is it definitely out? It’d certainly be understandable - as dearly as I love this franchise, it’s undeniably full of problematic elements, and probably nowhere more so than throughout that entire particular adventure - but it’d be good to at least have some more concrete info.I’m not saying much new, but I’m very upset about the Temple of Doom. LEGO’s current lineup covers 2/5 movies, with no rumors to indicate there will be sets for Dial of Destiny upon release in the next 3 months. LEGO Indiana Jones The Temple of Doom (7199) is an exciting toy set that is perfect for children who love adventure and building things. In this review, I will be sharing my personal experience with this product and providing my overall thoughts on it. FREE PLAY: While standing on the small platform above the lava, switch to a small-sized character and wriggle through the crawlspace to emerge on a higher ledge, where you'll find artifact piece #1. From here, you can jump directly down into the next part of the tunnel, skipping the handrail above the lava pool.

Why did it have to be snakes? Finishing off our list with the final Lego Indiana Jones set you can currently buy first-hand, Escape from the Lost Tomb is perhaps the best-looking Indiana Jones set of them all. It features two epic Anubis statues, one of which can be toppled to collapse a wall, freeing Indiana Jones and Marion. There’s also a Mummy minifigure, who didn’t feature as a character in the film, but definitely will in any child’s usage of this set. Escape From the Lost Tomb offers excellent value: it's one of the best Lego playsets we've seen in recent years. It looks great on display, too. It's been 14 years since Lego last released a wave of sets based on the Indiana Jones franchise. But with a new movie imminent – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny– Lego has revitalized the IP, releasing three new sets based on the famous fictional archeologist. However, some might reasonably point out that the Monkie Kid and Chinese Traditional Festival sets already include LEGO depictions of Chinese deities."Personally, my family took me to see Temple of Doom, at the theater when I was 13-14ish years old. I loved the film then and I recently watched it about a month ago, enjoying it even more at age 52. This film has amazing set pieces / scenes that should be depicted in LEGO form. But like yours, which I respect, this is just my opinion. 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. The British colonial army being portrayed in a heroic fashion, arriving at the last minute to help dispatch the Thuggee.
