daoudbazaar Posted December 11, 2008 Shanghai Chase Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom - 2009 already available ! Set #7682 Theme: Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom Year Released: 2008 (2009 officially) Piece Count: 256 (12 extras) Minifigs: 5 List Price: EUR 35 The box. Front : Back : Top : Box content : 2 bags and the booklet. No DSS The booklet. Frontpage : First page : Random page : 5 minifigs come in this set. Torsos and legs are in bag 1, heads and hairs in a smaller bag in it. Willie is completely new New hair (back is on top) in light yellow New face New torso and legs Torso is also printed on the back That's not blood that leaks through the hair ! Just the lips, the head is double-sided Gansgsters (I don't remember who they are). Faces and suits seem to be new ? They wear Indy hat in black. They look great ! Indy and short Round. Of course Indy is in every IJ box. But this one is at last a little bit more smart ! What you build with bag 1 Some shots of the car : There is a smaller bag in bag 2 and a cardboard folded around the dark tan canopy. It takes a few minutes to build the car : . In my opinion, the windscreen is far too small and gives this odd roofline to the car. I'd rather put a hinge as TLC used to in Adventurer sets. This slope and the flag are issued for the first time in tan color, as far as I remember. The complete set : Final thoughts It's a rather cheap set (for a licensed one) with no useless cumbersome part but full of uncommon torsos. Cars will easily fit in any Lego city with minor changes. And I do appreciate to get a newly dressed IJ minifig. Hope you enjoy this review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daxflame680 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Very nice review, now I want it even more! Edited December 11, 2008 by daxflame680 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the great review! I really really want this set now, the figures are just great, especially Willie! I'm hoping this will be $20 USD, but unfortunately, $30 seems more realistic considering the box size. -darthperson EDIT: Sorry about the double post, I have no idea what happened! Sorry!

SirNadroj Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks for the review of this gorgeous set. Wow, every figure is unique, plus the vehicles are really well done. Probably worth getting doubles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkrebellion Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the review daoudbazaar . This set looks fine but for some reason I feel that both cars lacks of design , not really compare this ones with the ones in the Race for the Stolen Treasure which are great. The minifigs in the other hand are awesome , with some nice torsos and pieces, I especially like the gangsters minifigs which are great .

Erdbeereis Posted December 11, 2008 Great review! The close-ups of the minifigs are beautiful, what type of camera do you have? This is a beautiful looking set with fantastic minifigs and pretty well-designed cars. It's great to finally see Indy in a different outfit isn't it? I suppose the U.S. price will be $30 then.

Kliq Posted December 11, 2008 Good Lord I love these Indiana Jones cars. I can't wait for this to become available here. :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted December 11, 2008 Sinner, you beat me to it. I was about to make an attempt to frontpage it. Daoudbazaar, this is a fine review with many nice pictures. I am seriously considering getting a few sets of this, mainly for these few reasons. The range of the minifigs are unique to its own. Their face, hair and torsos are simply marvelous especially Willie Scott and a white tux worn by Indiana Jones. The chinese gangsters are nice addition to your mafia in a typical City set up. Short Round looks cute and bubbly as well. The cars are speechless. I find it very impressive indeed, with the classic cars back in the 1940s. This is indeed a great set for all Indiana Jones lovers. Thanks for taking your time to post this review in Eurobricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
