LEGO Indiana Jones 7199 The Temple of Doom

Product Information

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. Move to the tunnel opening above the lava pool. Jump to grab the dangling rope and then jump from there to the small platform ahead. 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.

I'm really curious what Lego will do if China invade Taiwan... This would be a real test for them. " There's something wrong there. I wouldn't be surprised if that 40 is a typo and that set will end up costing a lot more. The British colonial army being portrayed in a heroic fashion, arriving at the last minute to help dispatch the Thuggee. That is the most nondescript answer they could have given, "consolidating the launch". It's obviously not true either, considering that the set had already started to go into production when they canceled it. Given the apparent lateness of this cancellation, one wonders whether a few sets might escape into stores.They probably aim at an expansion of the market in India. Thus, when in doubt, we avoid controversies and failed sales agreements. I'm incredibly disappointed that this set won't see the light of day. Fortunately, I own the previous incarnation of Temple of Doom but was really looking forward to this one (and those updated minifigs!). Hopefully they make some after the fact. LEGO sets based on movies are usually better after the movie has come out anyway, as most sets that coincide with a movie release end up being based off limited concept art so designs or content is slightly inaccurate or just laughably wrong (looking at you 76008 Iron Man 3: Mandarin Showdown) Here’s more photos from the 2023 LEGO Indiana Jones release! 77012 Fighter Plane Chase – 387 pieces

I think something worth noting about Indy is that, while he is a bit of a scoundrel, you can count on him to be heroic.Curious how it got that far into the production cycle before someone found a reason or two to not release it further.

Use a small-size character to go through the crawlspace at the top of the stairs to the right of the slave cage. In the alcove above (i.e., where the escaped slave child is standing next to the lever), you'll find artifact piece #7, along with a valuable purple stud.While I appreciate having access to the “real” Lucasfilm Indiana Jones, it does come with significant disadvantages. One, you’re tied to the scripts and can only represent events of the films. Two, there are events or details that have to be glossed over or avoided altogether.

Anything’s possible, but I think that particular possibility is less likely than most of the others. I'm wondering why Lego even bothered to make a statement about the Temple of Doom set at all. Furthermore the wording in the statement is vague, is it cancelled for good or delayed..? ToD has *never* received a lot of merchandise because of its content matter - the very last wave of Hasbro action figures released in the revival line for CRYSTAL SKULL were all ToD based and were VERY hard to find - so it's possible LucasFilm has reached the point where they just want to sweep it under the rug. 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. It’s a bit of an ambiguous statement, and all it says that it’s NOT part of the April 2023 release, so who knows if its truly cancelled, or its been delayed.They try and sweep things under the rug and hope everyone forgets the issue, with hopes of protecting their brand image. Generalized misunderstanding and inaccurate depictions of the goddess Kali as some sort of demonic figure." On the other hand, the entire Indiana Jones series has received some criticism for its arguable glorification of colonialist archaeology. The idol featured in 77015 Temple of the Golden Idol, for instance, is clearly something the Hovitos tribe considers sacred, but Indiana Jones is portrayed heroically for stealing it."
