If LEGO keeps coming out with more and more amazing sets, my house will be filled to the top with LEGO. (And I'll love every bit of it!) The latest sets feature three classic scenes from the Indiana Jones movies. First up is the Temple of the Golden Idol. This 1545 piece set from Raiders of the Lost Ark includes 4 minifigures: Indiana Jones, Satipo, René Belloq, and a Hovitos warrior, and is packed with interactive features. You can lower and light up the idol, collapse a wall, swing Indy across a cavern, lower a trap door, and, of course, chase Indy with the iconic boulder. There's also a skeleton of Dr Forrestal, a poor missing archeologist, and lots of spiders. The set is intended for adult collectors and comes with an adult price tag of $149.99.
If something a little smaller (and cheaper) is more your speed, how about the Escape from the Lost Tomb. This 600 piece set is also from Raiders of the Lost Ark and also features 4 minifigures: Indy, Sallah, Marion Ravenwood, and a mummy. The interactive features in this scene include an Anubis statue that can fall and break through a wall into a hidden passage where the mummy lies, an ark for Sallah and Indy to carry, and lots of snakes. ("Why did it have to be snakes?!") The set is intended for kids 8 and up and sells for $39.99.
And finally, a set from my favorite Indiana Jones movie: The Last Crusade. The Fighter Plane Chase is a 387 piece set that includes 3 minifigures: Indy, Henry Jones, Sr., and a fighter pilot. Interactive features for this scene include removable wings on the fighter plane (for crashing through tunnels), a movable propeller, and two stud shooters. Other fun touches include the Grail diary and an umbrella in the back of the car (remember your Charlemagne.) This set is the least expensive at $34.99 and is also for kids 8 and up.
All three sets will be available from the LEGO website on April 1. I think I may have to have them all!
