A lot of people I saw review it said the technic functions were hard to set up but when I made the set it was honestly pretty easy and I was surprised when I finished them and how smooth it worked!
Yeah I agree, they're not difficult, you just do have to pay close attention to the orientation of each moveable item at each step. I was livestreaming when I did mine and made one small mistake at the end, but it was easy to correct & then everything worked as designed.
Usually these sorts of comments are a bit exaggerated, but this is one time I agree. This is pretty much the only Lego TH-camr that doesn't over-hate, only complain when it actually warranted and does so in a fair, calm and matured way. And probably the only one who actually has the correct idea of value by considering various aspects, instead of just stating something is a bad value just because. That's why I only watch Jang nowadays
Considering he's one of the few large lego youtubers who pays for every set he reviews and doesn't get sent anything by lego, yeah he is the only one we can trust
The fact your reviews are unscripted is a testament to how well spoken you are and able to eloquently express your views and opinions. Literally one of the only review channels I can rely on to deliver high quality content without any bias or generic complaining for the sake of complaining
I got the original version of this in 2008 when I was in elementary school, and i have so much nostalgia for it. Seeing LEGO redesign the set and honestly make so many improvements is incredible! It's so tempting to get this version and display it next to my old one. A little bi of a shame they didn't include the plane like in the last version but I understand with how many intricate details there are some things needed to be cut. Sidenote: I like the brickbuilt heads in this, they remind me of the first level in "LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures where you had to avoid stepping on the little buttons in front of the heads or they'd shoot ya. That was a hard level..... SO much nostalgia in this set tho!
This right here. So many LAN reviews came out with a short video but they were so basic that the only thing they had going was that they got it before other people
Same. I'm hoping this does better than the 2008/2009 line. I feel like the Lego adult market has gotten a lot bigger in the last 15 years so I'm hopeful
This is better than I realized! The mechanisms are really cool! Hopefully the idol doesn’t have the same issue the last version had: the gold would rub off pretty easily and show the grey underneath.
As impressive as this Raiders of the Lost Ark’s diorama is, I am even more impressed at Jang’s great taste in old school goodness at the back: GoLion/Voltron, Optimus Prime, Star Wars, Gundam, Cobra HISS and is that a Valkyrie at the bottom right?
Amazing set! Worth every dollar. All the features blew me away. Much better then just a standard display piece. I love sets that have plenty of hidden features like this one and the James Bond creator car a few years ago. Sets like this one should be the gold standards for Adult sets.
I kinda feel they should've made the boulder portion of the set slightly longer just so we can get a better roll plus a place to put Indy for a nice photo and view
So so happy you reviewed this set, Jang. I am a HUGE Indiana Jones fan and LEGO fan AND Jang fan, so I’m very grateful to hear your thoughts on this one. Thank you!
I'm not a huge Indy fan either, but this set scratched my itch for classic Islanders, Ducktales, classic Lego construction, technical functions, and a display piece in the same set. It stands out in a crowded year.
A LEGO Ark of the Covenant, hmmmmm, does this mean we will get the LEGO *Holy Grail* ?! The stop motion “Knights of the Round Table” song always gives me a sliver of hope that a Monty Python set is not completely out of the question.
I appreciate how good you are at effectively conveying information about the models in your reviews. I saw another review of this set, but I didn’t really get how nice that idol mechanism was until I saw the way you presented it.
That looks really good! Well done I’d say for an official set. I think a larger and more detailed MOC of this scene by somebody would be awesome to see too!
This set is a pretty great step by step diorama walk through of that opening sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark, and you did a good job breaking it down, JANG. The Brick built faces are great. I liked the other Indy figure but this is pretty perfect.
So happy to get a Jang review of this one. I'm looking forward to this set. I got the other 2 Indy sets but I'll be waiting for a sale for this one or maybe use some VIP points. I hope we get more Indy sets. I missed all of them in 2008 and I'm not letting that happen again
I think this is the best diorama set, lego has put out so far, this one prioritizes detail but doesn't add unnecessary bulk. Some of the star wars ones seem just bogged down in uninteresting details that they feel borderline pretentious. I also like how the black border isn't overbearing like the other ones and actually adds to the scene.
I like how you tiled the leaf at the top of the entrance/exit (I did the same). In the instructions, they show it pointing straight up (which I didn’t think looked good). I also received a second had/hair piece in my extras in addition to the ones you showed. 😁 The only issue I have with the set is the stickers instead of prints for the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and quotes; a miss for LEGO. In my opinion, this is the best diorama LEGO has released to date. I think the set looks great and I can’t wait to show it to my nephew.
"Well, this is where old Forestal cashed in ... He was very, very good." Nice attention to detail, but I'm surprised Lego isn't counting the named skeleton as a minifigure, but they instead went all out for the generic mummy in the other set. Not complaining or anything, but I think it's an interesting choice especially in a set for adults. Also, the goldish light brick is a nice touch, but having one in the ark set (or maybe an 18+ one in the future) would fit even better since the ark glowed in the film. Anyway, this temple set has to be one of the best of the year for all the details and functionality. I agree though about the price for this, but my guess is the overvalue of this set will pay what Lego could have charged for the smaller two sets, since they seem like especially good value for money. Great video, and I like how you went through the temple in order of the movie's action. Quick question though, Jang: can you make the boulder roll as slow as you want? My first issue with this set was about the lack of space for Indy to run from the boulder, but if you can control the speed of the rolling, it doesn't matter as much. And the back of it all is a beautiful mess. Brilliant Lego mechanisms deserve recognition, and it's great to see Indiana Jones bringing more of them back!
I think 150 is reasonable for this set, however, for this amount of money i would have liked if the boulder ramp was slightly longer. It feels like its arc is too sharp
When I built this set I got an accidental extra of the dual molded hat piece, which was pretty nice to get! I don't know if I have ever had an extra piece like that before, especially with such a deluxe part.
Looks great! I've been watching you review Lego sets for almost a decade and the quality of the reviews and videos just keeps getting better! Keep up the great work!!!
I think $150.00 US is pretty reasonable considering all you get and the display/collector value. Obviously something like $120.00 would be awesome... It would be nice if it had flick-activated darts you could shoot through the faces on the walll. Man, Jang really loved rolling that boulder up and down! It DOES look pretty fun...
I got this set 2 weeks ago and I haven't stopped playing with it. My daughter loves playing with it and now I'm extending it to add more features (spikes the come out of the wall, more space for hands esp around the door, and a pressure plate near the idol that shoots your finger).
Love the detailed review of the set and the explanations of how each of the mechanisms work. I think this is one of the better sets to have come out from Lego recently and pretty reasonably priced. Also did you update your Lego room? I like the blue and red lights you have for display
Great review - thanks, Jang. I agree with everything you said, and also wanted to add that my 3-year-old loves playing with this set as well. The play features are fantastically done and fun for everyone. Definitely an 18+ set in terms of build difficulty, though.
Wow... I went from not wanting this set because it looked too basic to being REALLY impressed by the functionality. I want it! If I can get a sale, I might buy it
Fantastic looking set, fantastic play functions, fantastic technical aspects. I could argue this is an educational toy, even more than Lego is in gneral.
I might be in the minority here but I think I prefer the original version from 2008. I loved that in the first release the bolder section was more spread out which made for great posing of Indy running from it, Forestall's body was more visible and there were even spikes that swung out of the wall. It also had the shooting darts even though they were only flick spears, and most of all it came with Jock's plane which was awesome! I will say this current version has a MUCH better representation of the idol pedestal and the sinking bag of sand is a fantastic touch. If you missed out on the original set this one is definitely a must! Great review Jang!
Love this review! I am excited for this one, after several Star Wars dios placing a ton of 1x1 elements and to some degree the T-Rex Breakout dio as well, this one looks like it’s going to be a really fun build and much more worth the price tag.
Loved your review and totally share your opinion! One thing regarding your recent statements - I have a (Lego) channel as well (though in German) and totally took your words to heart as kind of a guideline from now on how to behave and what to say, how to criticize, and when to say nothing at all, etc. - in that way you are a great inspiration, thank you for that! Obviously feel free to block this comment, I did not want to spam my channel here in your comments or anything, just letting you know that you are an inspiration for many content creators!
I absolutely love the set, it was fun and interesting to build, not repetitive at all unlike some star wars sets. The functions are cool but most importantly the set looks amazing on display.
A wonderfully in-depth and unbiased review, Jang, thanks! Your content always is. For me this set is one of the finest in recent years. So much fun and engineering imagination on display here. I absolutely love the faces in the walls. A must-have for the collection. I agree on the pricing. Should be cheaper, but I'll still buy it 😅
Regarding stickers in an 18+ set, I’d argue it’s better that adult collectors have to apply stickers to their display piece than kids having to apply them to their toys. Sadly in reality it’s not an either or situation and of course no stickers at all would be the ideal.
I built mine about a week ago and it really is a cool set! The value in-hand is definitely like you said, where if it looks like it's worth the value, once you build it, once you feel the mechanisms, it really, truly is better than you'd think. Even in-hand, I like the new minifigures much more than I thought I would!
This looks much cooler than I though it did based on pictures. I almost thought about picking it up for a second before you said the price. I wouldn't pay more than £100 for it. I certainly won't pay £130. But I guess that's a lot of what my relationship with this channel is now, looking at cool things I won't buy because they are too expensive and living vicariously through you 😂😂
Yeah I'm hoping I can get it for about £100 eventually. I got the Jurassic Park diorama for £60 and I was happy with that. I'm a massive Indy fan but I'm not spending that much. I got the smaller sets but I'll wait a bit for this one
I have this on top of my dresser and I literally cannot walk past it without fiddling with all the knobs at least once, and spinning the boulder about 3 times
Can you split apart the three sections and display them separately?
ปีที่แล้ว
I like the exposed technic functions. This, the haunted mansion ride and the big rollercoaster are more interesting technic sets than 80% of actual Technic sets. More Technic sets should be cool mechanisms instead of just cars built out of technic parts.
I was shying away from this set due to the price, but I guess there's more going on here than I realized. An additional minifig would have been nice, though. Thank you for this closer look.
I hate to say it I have the original version of this set and the og looked better and was longer had more room for the boulder to come down longer (wasn't brick built however) in my opinion what do you think jang? Did you have the og Indiana sets ?? Love your vids btw glad to see city updates coming back !!
Just a thought. Target has this in stock @ $169.99, while LEGO has it on Backorder @ $149.99. Jang any thoughts on why this is? I ask because if anything Target has a good deal come in cheaper at times with their LEGO prices compared to LEGO's site and store prices, even on initial release of sets. Target will likely match LEGO's price of in stock items...
I don’t get why they don’t make printed pieces lighter colored and use dark colors to make shadows/designs. The dark pieces with the faded printing looks cheap.
Am very tempted, but AU$205 is too much. It's also a sought after set, so will never go on sale. So I have a limited window on making a decision on this.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they intentionally made this a small wave as a sort of soft opening to see how well the theme revival would go. I know there was a demand for it, but you can never be too sure
It’s a shame that kids don’t get access to these larger sets anymore though. The diorama sets are nice and all, but I enjoyed my temple escape set when I was younger and now the pickings for this generations play sets are getting thin. There’s way too many display sets on the market
completely unreasonable to ask for, I know.......but, the inclusion of 3 Indys, one for each section of the adventure, would have sold me on this. its a great playset, to be certain. however, i dont playset any more. the closest i come is reversing the position of the walls on my Death Star Trash Compactor.
To be devil's advocate for stickers, if all pieces were printed the price would be way higher. Also if you have tweasers they are less of a pain to apply imo
A lot of people I saw review it said the technic functions were hard to set up but when I made the set it was honestly pretty easy and I was surprised when I finished them and how smooth it worked!
Yeah I agree, they're not difficult, you just do have to pay close attention to the orientation of each moveable item at each step. I was livestreaming when I did mine and made one small mistake at the end, but it was easy to correct & then everything worked as designed.

His commentary and content is the premier choice - entirely!
Too bad Lego didn't include an optional C-3PO head to use in place of the golden idol. 😀

Always appreciate how much effort and thought you put into your reviews. My favorite lego channel.
The sandbag going DOWN and triggering the traps is INGENIOUS. What a clever idea by the designer

Other channels need to be first with their reviews. Everyone knows Jang has the BEST reviews.
This right here. So many LAN reviews came out with a short video but they were so basic that the only thing they had going was that they got it before other people
Absolutely my favourite set of the year! Lets just hope Lego don’t shy away from this theme and instead keep it going for a few more years 🤞
Same. I'm hoping this does better than the 2008/2009 line. I feel like the Lego adult market has gotten a lot bigger in the last 15 years so I'm hopeful
@@joevictor53 did the 2008/09 wave of IJ underperform? I was a kid then and I got all the sets so I’m hoping LEGO gives us more than these three sets
The features of swinging over the pit is probably the most clever one to me - I didn’t expect that!
Huge nostalgia trip for me. Some of my very first and most memorable legos when I was a little kid, and now they're doing a reboot. So happy
This is better than I realized! The mechanisms are really cool! Hopefully the idol doesn’t have the same issue the last version had: the gold would rub off pretty easily and show the grey underneath.

I love sets that have plenty of hidden features like this one and the James Bond creator car a few years ago. Sets like this one should be the gold standards for Adult sets.
Yeah, too bad that the gold standard come with a platinum price
With the Technic on the back exposed it makes it look like a real movie set
I kinda feel they should've made the boulder portion of the set slightly longer just so we can get a better roll plus a place to put Indy for a nice photo and view
So so happy you reviewed this set, Jang. I am a HUGE Indiana Jones fan and LEGO fan AND Jang fan, so I’m very grateful to hear your thoughts on this one. Thank you!
I just hope LEGO gives us a re-release of Race for the Stolen Treasure before the Indiana Jones line is retired again.
I’m surprised they removed the section with poison darts and pressure points - that was significant in both the film and original set
I wish I could just buy the last (right) section as a set for 1/3 of the price and I would be happy.
Could probably bricklink the pices out, but i'm unsure if it'll be cheaper than the rest of the set or not.
I wish they could've done 2 smaller dioramas. One for the Idol scene and one for the boulder
Love the rotation disk, just so smooth, pure satisfaction
I'm not a huge Indy fan either, but this set scratched my itch for classic Islanders, Ducktales, classic Lego construction, technical functions, and a display piece in the same set. It stands out in a crowded year.

Thank you for the review, Jang! I love the Indiana Jones franchise, and this set looks very cool. I’m glad they brought this back!
Satipo appears to have the same hairpiece as Doc Ock, which makes perfect sense.
Another great review, jang! I just wish the boulder section was a little bit longer...

It would be nice if it had flick-activated darts you could shoot through the faces on the walll. Man, Jang really loved rolling that boulder up and down! It DOES look pretty fun...
I audibly gasped when I saw that boulder roll. So pretty, so satisfying.
I smiled at the sand bag going down that was so cool
Great review Jang, I was thinking of saving up for other sets but this set has so much charming brick built detail and the mechanisms look great.
Had fun with this set. Amazing building techniques and worth the great price 🙌🏻
I got this set 2 weeks ago and I haven't stopped playing with it. My daughter loves playing with it and now I'm extending it to add more features (spikes the come out of the wall, more space for hands esp around the door, and a pressure plate near the idol that shoots your finger).
I heard somewhere that the Raiders tile was a sticker because the gradient wouldn't print well on black plastic
Great review as always! I just got the whole wave (3 sets) for $128 or so, everything is on sale FYI! Great sets!
Won't lie, at a certain point I thought the remainder of the review was going to just be JANG rolling the boulder back and forth.
I remember having the original set so all this is missing really is Jack and the plane and a snake with it as well
This set is currently at home and can't wait to build it!
Love the detailed review of the set and the explanations of how each of the mechanisms work. I think this is one of the better sets to have come out from Lego recently and pretty reasonably priced.
Also did you update your Lego room? I like the blue and red lights you have for display
LEGO Indiana Jones 2023 18+ 77015 Raiders Of The Lost Ark Temple Of The Gorden IDOL Set
Nice remake. It feels more packed full of stuff than the previous one
Great review - thanks, Jang. I agree with everything you said, and also wanted to add that my 3-year-old loves playing with this set as well. The play features are fantastically done and fun for everyone. Definitely an 18+ set in terms of build difficulty, though.
I love Jang‘s sophisticated reviews… spot on!
Wow... I went from not wanting this set because it looked too basic to being REALLY impressed by the functionality. I want it! If I can get a sale, I might buy it
2:06 : Forrestal, the name of the dead archaeologist.
Great reveiw, thanks !
Way more intresting and affordable than any SW dioramas.
Fantastic looking set, fantastic play functions, fantastic technical aspects. I could argue this is an educational toy, even more than Lego is in gneral.
Just picked this up at my local Target. Really looking forward to building it this weekend!
I might be in the minority here but I think I prefer the original version from 2008. I loved that in the first release the bolder section was more spread out which made for great posing of Indy running from it, Forestall's body was more visible and there were even spikes that swung out of the wall.

With my spares, I got an extra Indiana Jones hat
Jang: I never got into the franchise…
Us: What!!??
Jang: The first film I saw was Temple of Doom.
Us: Say no more…
This might be the first TH-cam comment that I’ve ever made. Thank you for this review! My kids and I love your channel!

I'm looking foreward to seeing how the golden idol will be used in mocs.
Used a couple of my Islanders minifigures to recreate the scene.
You only need to buy ten extra sets or so to get an army of Hovitos. :D
I built mine about a week ago and it really is a cool set! The value in-hand is definitely like you said, where if it looks like it's worth the value, once you build it, once you feel the mechanisms, it really, truly is better than you'd think. Even in-hand, I like the new minifigures much more than I thought I would!
I used to watch your videos as a kid now that I’m older and got money to buy my own things I’ve came back to watch only you review it before I buy
Forestall, that is whom the skeleton represents.
This looks much cooler than I though it did based on pictures. I almost thought about picking it up for a second before you said the price. I wouldn't pay more than £100 for it.

@@joevictor53 Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park are 2 of my favorite movies. The price of the Lego sets are a tough pill to swallow. Someday, someday...
I have this on top of my dresser and I literally cannot walk past it without fiddling with all the knobs at least once, and spinning the boulder about 3 times

Great review as always. Where do you put sets after you've reviewed them? Do you disassemble and store or do you have loads of shelfs/cabinets?
There's nothing like waiting for something listed as backordered to arrive. Come on Lego, hurry up and ship mine!!!!
I was shying away from this set due to the price, but I guess there's more going on here than I realized. An additional minifig would have been nice, though. Thank you for this closer look.
I hate to say it I have the original version of this set and the og looked better and was longer had more room for the boulder to come down longer (wasn't brick built however) in my opinion what do you think jang? Did you have the og Indiana sets ?? Love your vids btw glad to see city updates coming back !!
I appreciate LEGO fixing the boulder in place to prevent the Dark Dimension.
Just a thought. Target has this in stock @ $169.99, while LEGO has it on Backorder @ $149.99. Jang any thoughts on why this is? I ask because if anything Target has a good deal come in cheaper at times with their LEGO prices compared to LEGO's site and store prices, even on initial release of sets.

Honestly, as a lifelong fan of Indiana Jones, I want this set but… I need to make room for it.
I don’t get why they don’t make printed pieces lighter colored and use dark colors to make shadows/designs. The dark pieces with the faded printing looks cheap.
It's funny because Belloq is French and in French you often don't pronounce the "H" but I'm pretty sure he emphasized "H"ovito in the movie
This one is on my "to build" pile! Quite excited about it, it will probably be the next set I build!
Am very tempted, but AU$205 is too much. It's also a sought after set, so will never go on sale. So I have a limited window on making a decision on this.
Nice model of Timesplitters 2 Aztec, but Captain Ash looks wrong. and where is the time crystal ?
Does anybody knows the part number of the curved technic liftarm used for the boulder mechanism?
Shame that this is the only large Indiana Jones set coming out in this wave. The movies have a lot of potential for big 18+ diorama sets like this.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they intentionally made this a small wave as a sort of soft opening to see how well the theme revival would go. I know there was a demand for it, but you can never be too sure
It’s a shame that kids don’t get access to these larger sets anymore though. The diorama sets are nice and all, but I enjoyed my temple escape set when I was younger and now the pickings for this generations play sets are getting thin. There’s way too many display sets on the market
completely unreasonable to ask for, I know.......but, the inclusion of 3 Indys, one for each section of the adventure, would have sold me on this. its a great playset, to be certain. however, i dont playset any more. the closest i come is reversing the position of the walls on my Death Star Trash Compactor.
Is the idol the same piece?
To be devil's advocate for stickers, if all pieces were printed the price would be way higher. Also if you have tweasers they are less of a pain to apply imo
Always appreciate the detail you go into. Answered a lot of questions I had.
Getting this sudden urge to watch Raiders or play Spelunky right now
Great review as always, set looks great, can’t wait to pick this one up.
