I love how these reviews get more and more cinematic with every installment. So many Lego reviews are so bland and boring, but the camera angles, lighting, and creative shots keep your videos very fresh! Keep it up!!
I completely agree. I don’t play with my Lego sets in the same way I did as a kid but it just fills my heart with joy building well-designed and innovative play features.
I love how the set has a lot of diversity in its sections. Not only does this give the build distinct a feel with all the separate mechanisms and a (presumably) enjoyable building experience, but, as something I personally look for in a lego set, there’s a wide variety of interesting pieces as well.
I must admit, I was torn on whether or not I wanted to get this set, but your video sold me within the first few seconds, and it just got more interesting as it played out. Great review!
Wow. One of the best Lego sets I've seen in a while, and you really did a great job showing off all its features. It's unbelievably reasonably priced too, which is also rare.
I'm seriously impressed with how much play functionality was put into this set after comparing to other dioramas- the bar has been set a little higher for future sets and I'm all here for it! The ability to tell a story with these sets is all the more enhanced with these features. Thanks for the review, I think I will pick this one up when I have a chance!
This set instantly got my attention. I grew up with the movies too and loved the way they brought the scene to life with Lego. Great work, designers! 👏👏👏
The gearing and functionality of the boulder drop is really lovely! Such simple mechanisms, with such a good effect. Thank you for what you do Tiago, I always love the unique perspective and thorough analysis you bring to your reviews!
Man I love Indiana Jones, I have a couple of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sets (the Jungle Cutter and Temple of the Crystal Skull) and have always wanted to expand my collection, although I have no space for more!
I feel like this set strikes a wonderful balance between the traditional system and technic. Hope this sets a precedent for future diorama and other sets, especially the extensive features. Lovely video as always Tiago. I really like that you followed the movie sequence in the review instead of covering all the features in each third and then moving on. Felt like I was watching the LEGO Indiana Jones!
Amazing editing on your reviews! Always giving a lot of info, details, and opinions on sets in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely gotta add this set to my collection!
As accurate as the new hair hat combo is, one of the great things about the old hat piece was that you could reenact all the classic moments where Indy almost loses his hat - for instance the door closing scene displayed in this set
Impressive ornaments: I like how each idols are different. I wonder whether the mechanics could have used another color scheme to make it easier to blend into the theme (although it may have increased the price to actually hide it).
This set was clearly made with love, and a strong memory of those Sunday afternoon movies all of us pre-Nerflix generation kids grew up with! Love the clever mechanisms.
O mecanismo por trás da bola é super satisfatório. Mostrei o vídeo ao meu pai que ama Indiana Jones e ele ficou apaixonado com tanto detalhe e pormenor. Obg pelo vídeo.
It’s so cool, I can’t stop rewatching it it’s so cool how far Lego has come especially when I wanted the first one as a kid. The mechanism is so cool and I don’t think any Lego set can beat that!
I like the rolling boulder mechanism, very ingenious. Nothing really to fall off this set and makes resetting a breeze. I think this show piece set is really to allow people to interact with it rather than just look at it.
This is such a cool set, and is exactly the kind of thing a parent could have on display and let their kids play with by turning cranks without worrying about the whole thing falling apart or important elements being lost
i kinda like that you can see all of the technic building in the background. it kinda makes me feel like i'm looking at the other side of hollywood. like behind the scenes. great review!
Love it , such good value compared to say the new star wars throne room diorama lol which I also love but the price difference between the two sets compared to what you get is insane.
Great review as always. You're fair to the designers, critical where needs be, and you give great insights into the set as a building experience. Thanks!
The original version of this set was the first LEGO set I ever had. I still remember the rolling ball play feature and the big solid piece base it was built on. Amazing to see it reborn!
I had the Raiders set from 14 years back as a kid, this is a very nice update to the design with some fantastic technical elements to it, I'll be grabbing this and the space set!
I knew about the boulder and the door being able to move, but the whip crossing and (remarkably) the temple falling apart were a surprise! Wonderful set, definitely on my wishlist.
i repalced the two tan technic pins in the idol lowering mechanism and the lowering wall mechinism with blue pins to make it slower and hold in place, makes it even more realistic.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie. I saw it in the theater when I was 9 and I really didn't want to go then, but I was blown away. I'm very happy to see that Lego has made new sets in this theme and I will definitely get this diorama.
The intro, the breakdown of the functions, and showing the story with all the details came together as an amazing review, awesome job! Excited for the giveaway
This set is awesome with pretty nice detail for the important part of the movie and it brings a lot of memories from that old times :) Its hard to say with one mechanism i like more!
The play features in this set are awesome, especially with how easy it is to reset everything. Makes me even sadder that they canceled the Temple of Doom set!
Indiana Jones is one of my all time favorite movie franchises. I was so excited to hear that the LEGO lineup was returning, and the three sets really do not disappoint! The play functions are phenomenal, and the display value is awesome. I am DEFINITELY getting this!
I think the best part about the play features is that they are all controlled by knobs in the front and are easy to reset. For a kid who wants to have fun, making the mechanisms easy to reach and redo is really important.
The multi-functionality of the moving parts really shows how far Lego has come in terms of their design (beyond something like just opening a trap door or flick missles)
I saw a more simple review of this set by someone else, and thought the play features did look fun, but I didn’t put it on my list to buy. But after your breakdown of the simple sophistication of all the features, and how the idol scene is actually designed to play out consecutively, I definitely need to get this one now. Looks fun!
Indiana Jones and the LEGO theme of it have been massive parts of my childhood. I love the movies and got many of the sets, but never got the original golden idol temple set. I’m really happy to see the line come back with an updated version of a set I’ve wanted for over 10 years.
I remember loving the classic version of this set, especially the upside down dinos as faces. I absolutely love the various idol faces on this one too. Thanks for the awesome review as always, Tiago!

The mechanism in the idol room is truly remarkable! Three actions with the turn of a single knob; I love it!!
It reminds me of the coaster set, which tied all the mechanisms to a single crank.
I had no clue it did all of them with just the single knob until watching the review, really gotta hand it to the designers on this one
I love how these reviews get more and more cinematic with every installment. So many Lego reviews are so bland and boring, but the camera angles, lighting, and creative shots keep your videos very fresh! Keep it up!!
The play features on this set are really impressive. It's all so simple, but the effects end up getting very detailed.
I love diorama sets when it comes to displaying and building them it's always such a clean and nice looking build
I really hope they make more adult sets like this that have great play features. Its really the best of both worlds.
I completely agree. I don’t play with my Lego sets in the same way I did as a kid but it just fills my heart with joy building well-designed and innovative play features.
Im the same i like play features but as an adult i appreciate the diahrama sets
A masterpiece of a set. Building with Lego bricks is slowly just becoming a new form of art at this point
That gear & racking feature making the boulder spin is pretty darn clever. They definitely got an impressive amount into this set.
I was wondering how they were going to do that im impressed
Excellent camera work once again! Your videos keep getting better!
Honestly, I love how your reviews are always straight to the point and that your well lit studio setup really makes every little detail pop!
Great as always! Thank you for the well detailed yet concise review.
The angled sections give this set some depth which looks really nice to me. And the playability for a diorama set is outstanding.
Thank you for the review, I’m glad you liked it, and gave a very detailed account of what to expect when building.
Love how you're making great use of the probe macro lens! I bet they never thought it would be used for lego reviews but it works perfectly! 🎉
Fun review. I enjoy the easter eggs and creative design elements that designers are putting in sets. Makes me happy.
I love how the set has a lot of diversity in its sections. Not only does this give the build distinct a feel with all the separate mechanisms and a (presumably) enjoyable building experience, but, as something I personally look for in a lego set, there’s a wide variety of interesting pieces as well.

Wow. One of the best Lego sets I've seen in a while, and you really did a great job showing off all its features. It's unbelievably reasonably priced too, which is also rare.
I absolutely love the play features on this lego set. I don't think I've seen one with that many.
I'm seriously impressed with how much play functionality was put into this set after comparing to other dioramas- the bar has been set a little higher for future sets and I'm all here for it! The ability to tell a story with these sets is all the more enhanced with these features.
Thanks for the review, I think I will pick this one up when I have a chance!
Great review! I love how you showed the walkthrough of the set just like the scenes in the movie.
This set instantly got my attention. I grew up with the movies too and loved the way they brought the scene to life with Lego. Great work, designers! 👏👏👏
Love the videos. Very refreshing reviews. Keep it up
The gearing and functionality of the boulder drop is really lovely! Such simple mechanisms, with such a good effect. Thank you for what you do Tiago, I always love the unique perspective and thorough analysis you bring to your reviews!

Felt like I was watching the LEGO Indiana Jones!
I love your videos so much, they are really well shot and edited. I also think you are one of the better lego reviewers.
I wish more sets had this kind of mechanism to them. The movement of the boulder is really cool!
Amazing editing on your reviews! Always giving a lot of info, details, and opinions on sets in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely gotta add this set to my collection!
As accurate as the new hair hat combo is, one of the great things about the old hat piece was that you could reenact all the classic moments where Indy almost loses his hat - for instance the door closing scene displayed in this set
He does not almost lose his hat when the door closes in this scene
Raiders = door closes on whip not hat, Temple of doom = door closes on hat.
love your reviews, keep it up!
Wow this is such a good review! (I have definetely watched the whole video already)
Looks like a super fun set! I loved how you used the probe lens through those tight spaces
Impressive ornaments: I like how each idols are different. I wonder whether the mechanics could have used another color scheme to make it easier to blend into the theme (although it may have increased the price to actually hide it).
Always love the reviews and this one is no exception, especially showing the play features and how they work. Really cool.
This set was clearly made with love, and a strong memory of those Sunday afternoon movies all of us pre-Nerflix generation kids grew up with! Love the clever mechanisms.
Nice review! Hopefully Lego does these type of sets for the other indy movies!
O mecanismo por trás da bola é super satisfatório. Mostrei o vídeo ao meu pai que ama Indiana Jones e ele ficou apaixonado com tanto detalhe e pormenor. Obg pelo vídeo.
I love that they kept the in-out flow of the scene from the movie, especially the boulder mechanism!
It’s cool how simply the play features are implemented into the overall design. I especially like the boulder on the gear rack mechanism!
It’s so cool, I can’t stop rewatching it it’s so cool how far Lego has come especially when I wanted the first one as a kid. The mechanism is so cool and I don’t think any Lego set can beat that!
For me this price point and set size is the sweet spot for Lego
The low price blows me away. After seeing all the features I would've expected this to be much more expensive!
The play features on this set are insane!! Love the boulder mechanism especially! Thanks for the In depth as always!!
This set looks really amazing a just a show piece but then with the functions it has, it puts it to another level.
Agreed! Good Lego sets don't need to be expensive, the raiders of the lost ark is just another case in point. Love your vids!
Thanks for the review! Was on the fence about this one, but now it's definetly on my wishlist😁
I like the rolling boulder mechanism, very ingenious. Nothing really to fall off this set and makes resetting a breeze. I think this show piece set is really to allow people to interact with it rather than just look at it.
Cool set I also love Indiana Jones and grew up watching his adventures
I absolutely love the mechanisms in this set! I’m not even a huge Indiana Jones fan, but the building techniques are amazing and the price seems fair
I think it looks awesome. I didn't realize how cool the play features were. I definitely want to get it now. Thanks for another great video, Tiago.
Always a good review! The functions of this set are great. Thanks for what you do!
I love that they spin the rolling rock, rather than just letting it roll, so that it looks so much better, and can be easily reset
This is such a cool set, and is exactly the kind of thing a parent could have on display and let their kids play with by turning cranks without worrying about the whole thing falling apart or important elements being lost
Damn this set looks so cool! Awesome vid as always - there’s a reason why you’re the only Lego reviewer is still watch :)
Keep it up!
I really wanna get that rabbit it looks sick
Wow thanks for the review Tiago, this set looks really cool but I wasn't sure if I was going to get it :)
Loved the usage of the probe macros lens!! Really adds a nice sense of scale for the diorama from the mini-figure perspective!
I love how much Tiago puts in the hard work and effort to make these videos
The mechanisms are really cool and being an Indiana Jones and star wars fan all my life this really a must have!
Hey man love your videos so much! Your are a very big Inspiration to me, and I cherish my ship in the bottle set with your initials with it❤
i kinda like that you can see all of the technic building in the background. it kinda makes me feel like i'm looking at the other side of hollywood. like behind the scenes. great review!
Love it , such good value compared to say the new star wars throne room diorama lol which I also love but the price difference between the two sets compared to what you get is insane.
Great review as always. You're fair to the designers, critical where needs be, and you give great insights into the set as a building experience. Thanks!
The amount of effort put into creating this set is tangible. Amazing
I'm loving these reviews that are concise yet complete, and bonus offering a lego designer perspective
The original version of this set was the first LEGO set I ever had. I still remember the rolling ball play feature and the big solid piece base it was built on. Amazing to see it reborn!
This set shows you what can be achieved with good design! I'd love a Jurassic Park set with play features.
that spinning bolder is just so cool. Great review from you again!
I was genuinely surprised by the price on this one. Really nice to see this much value in an adult set
I grew up with theses movies and to see them now back in Lego really puts a smile on my face
The way that the stone rolls and can be put back easily is the best part for me
Amazing review as always. Macro shots are perfect and the refereces added too
Really impressed by the camera shots moving through the set. Great video.
I had the Raiders set from 14 years back as a kid, this is a very nice update to the design with some fantastic technical elements to it, I'll be grabbing this and the space set!
Probably one of the best mechanism I've ever in an official lego set. It's so clever and I love it.
this set is so cool! I love how completely it compromises between adult play and kid play features. truly a best of both worlds set!
that boulder is just mesmerizing, i would totally be playing with it all day if i had this set
I really appreciate how concise and easy-to-follow your reviews are! Keep up the good work:)
That little mini camera you got was really cool to see on this set! Felt like I was running through the temple!
I knew about the boulder and the door being able to move, but the whip crossing and (remarkably) the temple falling apart were a surprise! Wonderful set, definitely on my wishlist.
i repalced the two tan technic pins in the idol lowering mechanism and the lowering wall mechinism with blue pins to make it slower and hold in place, makes it even more realistic.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie. I saw it in the theater when I was 9 and I really didn't want to go then, but I was blown away. I'm very happy to see that Lego has made new sets in this theme and I will definitely get this diorama.

The play features in this set are awesome, especially with how easy it is to reset everything. Makes me even sadder that they canceled the Temple of Doom set!
When i saw the Ball mechanism on the Emasaurus video mi mind got blowned away !!!!! I was like 5 minutes figuring out the mechanism
My earliest LEGO memories are with Indiana Jones LEGO sets. This is making me emotional, haha. Time flies.
The boulder spinning from the gear on the curved rack action is awesome! Clever set.
Indiana Jones is one of my all time favorite movie franchises. I was so excited to hear that the LEGO lineup was returning, and the three sets really do not disappoint! The play functions are phenomenal, and the display value is awesome. I am DEFINITELY getting this!
Brilliant review! Made me really want it. Also, love those shots you made with the probe lens!!
Got to play with this set today. Its a pretty neat set. The knobs feel and work great. Shows the whole beginning of the movie in one set
This set really reminds me of being a kid and watching these movies in the cinema! Great review and shots as usual Tiago!
I grew up with these movies in the theatre and have rewatched them Many times with my kids.
