Designed for ages 8 to 14, but with the potential to keep adults entertained, this action-packed LEGO set will bring out the adventurer in everyone who plays with it.

The Good: Mine-themed adventure set with plenty of cool moving parts.

Take a Wild, Imaginative Ride With Indy and His Gang
Based on the film -- in which Indiana Jones seeks to recapture magical stones from an evil shaman and return them to the village that depends on them -- the Temple of Doom provides an action-packed, narrative setting to inspire imaginative play.

In addition to the 37-inch mine track, this set includes a detailed recreation of the movie's skull altar, two mine carts, booby traps, and plenty of creepy-crawlies. The Temple of Doom comes complete with six mini figures: Indy, his lady-love Willie, his kid sidekick Short Round, the evil shaman Mola Ram, and two menacing temple guards.

In addition, there are plenty of features to keep the set interesting. Just when it seems like Indy is doomed, you can set a trap to derail the temple guards from their evil mission -- position a road block, dump rubble, or let loose a snake.

Building the Temple of Doom
With 652 pieces and a colorful instruction booklet, the Temple of Doom took our two adult testers approximately two hours to construct. The process was challenging, but not too difficult with colorful step-by-step illustrations showing the way.

Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Encountering snares on their journey down the extra-long track, the runaway mine cars are a huge hit. Other favorite features are the temple's trap door, the boulder-rigged mine shaft, the chopping sword, and the glow-in-the-dark temple decorations.

One of the best features of this set may be the collection of mini figures, each of which has unique features. Indy comes complete with a removable knapsack and hat, Mola Ram has his signature horned headgear, Willie has long, wavy blond hair, and Short Round is characteristically petite. With such a detailed cast of characters, it's enjoyable to stage battles between Indy's crew and the elusive enemies -- with clubs, swords, guns, and more.

Our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set allowed them to reenact Indy's quest to capture the magical stones and end Mola Ram's evil influence. They also appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set entertaining whether or not your child has seen the classic 1984 Indiana Jones movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars falls apart easily, September 17, 2010

My son loves Indiana Jones and he loves legos...need I say more? The only, but big, disappointment is how easily the track falls apart. If you barely bump it, it falls over. There is no reinforcement in critical areas in the lego design, which is a bummer. It gets frustrating for him to constantly have to reset the pieces, only to have them break apart again! Lego needs to tweak the blueprints for this one! 3 stars for fun is because of this design flaw; otherwise it would have earned 5 stars for the fun it COULD provide if it actually stayed together! (and no, you cannot reinforce it with your own extra legos because of the way it is put together...there is not room to do it)

Although a bit pricey worth every penny. I purchased it for my 6 year old Godson and he absolutely loved it. It kept his attention for hours and was simple enough for him to assemble .

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Lego Set, January 30, 2010
A Kid's Review
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Indiana Jones The Temple of Doom (7199) (Toy)
This is the best lego set I have ever put together. The trapdoors work great and the mine carts run very well on the track. You have to put the minifigures in just the right spot in the carts though, but once you get them in the right spot you can race into action! There is definitely danger, action and thrills in the Temple of Doom! This set is very, very fun to play

P.S. If the trapdoors don't open the fist time, open and close them about 25 times then put a figure on it and pull the lever. The adventure begins!
