Can't wait for them to finally release The Leaky Cauldron, Eyelops, Madam Malkin's and any other shops that we all wanted in 2020... as playsets that don't fit with the existing Diagon Alley at all

This sounds like you’re projecting. Not sure I’ve seen anyone being “angry”. People are also allowed to be disappointed that a product they were looking forward to isn’t being released. If everyone had the “you should just be happy with what they’ve got” attitude, then nothing would change, ever.

Troll in the Bathroom, Chamber of the Winged Keys, Triwizard Maze and something from the Deathly Hallows forest are the main ones for me I'd like them to do.

Surely that’s pretty much the biggest range possible?

Wanna do mine?

In that case that must be what’s happening 😉

FWIW, no Smyths exclusive icon

😂 this needs to be made into the mother ignoring her kid drowning in a pool meme

FWIW, I’m sure instructions will be put on Rebrickable in no time, and we do have the old minifigs (minus the Maharajah). I mean, if it was never released by Lego, I can’t blame people if they bought a knock off!

Brickset have as well. In fact, they state that Fan Media have been explicitly given permission to share it. I’d argue the opposite - if the set is never set to release, then there’s no reason for Lego to want it hidden

“Whoops, we weren’t meant to reveal these!”

They never said that. You’re welcome to read into it but don’t state it as if it’s fact.

If it’s Lucasfilm’s fault, maybe they can release the same set with Johnny Thunder characters instead 😂

Still no announcement on Twitter yet… 😬

77014 The Temple of Doom: cancelled Official statement: Throughout 2022, the LEGO Group worked closely with Lucasfilm to optimise our planned product line up for the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones product launches in April 2023. As an outcome of this, we consolidated the launch to focus on three products (77012, 77013, 77015) that feature some of the most iconic scenes from the Indiana Jones franchise. From Brickset. Also why is my writing in invisible ink

Now Lego Indiana Jones has been leaked… by Lego

Brickshop.eu says June

Tbf on the plane chase that’s still cheaper than the original 2009 set!

If after all this, the Temple of Doom turns out to exist, this would be the most hilarious rollercoaster ride I’ve ever been on It also says a June release for all the sets… 😬

If they’re gonna be like this with prices, I can’t say I’m bothered about the Temple of Doom being cancelled, because I wouldn’t be buying it anyway! 😂 I know Lego makes some bizarre decisions, but surely even they must see making one of the other sets insanely overpriced is a bad financial decision compared to eating the cost themselves? Collectors ain’t gonna collect if the first wave of sets is already overpriced… at least with Harry Potter’s gradually increasing prices, they’ve already got us hooked!

Why are you saying this as if they’ve been officially announced yet? They’ve just been leaked. Of course there hasn’t been a big press release yet, in the eyes of the public these sets don’t exist yet. The lack of fanfare for a theme that has not yet been announced is not a surprise, nor does it indicate a lack of fanfare in the future. It’s obviously sarcastic… In what shops have you seen them on shelves?? They’ve not been announced yet let alone released. Some employee has accidentally put the product out early hence the leak, but that’s it - obviously shops get the sets prior to the release of them.

Back of box images are out now! There is a gear on the side of the boulder which runs along a gear rack. I assume it runs using the twistable knob at the bottom. That’s already confirmed (and was surely obvious anyway). ——— Well, looks like the Temple of Doom (movie not the Lego set) wasn’t too racist to put in the instructions of the Lost Temple set…

Shouldn’t it be some silver, blue and gold studs though? 😉 https://imgur.com/a/a46t0EZ

The Temple Escape looks fantastic! It looks a much better scale than in that weirdly diagonally spliced image we had, particularly in the boulder section. The idol room is also amazing, and I love all the trees adding to the jungle aesthetic. Also, call me a nerd, but I’m liking that they have the original Raiders logo. The Lost Tomb is also growing on me now that we’ve seen there’s stuff going on round the back as well and that it isn’t literally just a wall. The ark looks like a massive downgrade from 2010 though, which surprises me. ——— Is it me or are the minifigs particularly dynamic on these box arts? Usually they’re sort of doing generic poses on Lego boxes. And really easy to spot and centre frame in the foreground. But here, they’re all doing something, and often not obvious or in the foreground. For example, Indy swinging in on the Lost Tomb, Sallah dragging the ark away, Indy grabbing the idol in Temple of the Golden Idol, etc. It seems they’ve really focused on action-packed shots.

I bought 2 on a 2 for 1 offer from Amazon. Well it got lost at the post office so they sent me more. And then the post office found them anyway!
