That member has been here longer than you, just not an avid poster. I really like the overwhelming firepower this ship as. As asked before can you get to lower decks?? Are there places for the minifigs to man the cannons? I'd love to see more angles of this ship, it looks mean.

Thanks, I'll be sure to next time I have a deal to post. -
WOW, that's very nice, it reminded me at first of the BSB ship which I have but then I notice it looks bigger and much better detail. I can't wait to see this MOC.

I got an extra one. The inventory page which I have a high res copy of shows x2. If you click on my image it will show a full size picture. So ya, I got an extra gun.

Ahh, good workaround. Thanks! -
Another review brought to you buy the Reviewers Academy. This set was actually purchased for me as a gift by my Wife, who had a note on the flag authorizing the purchase of $100 more in LEGO. BASIC INFORMATION: Set Name: Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase Set Number: 7620 Number of Pieces: 79 LEGO box, 79 Peeron, 79 Brickset, 66 Bricklink Minifigs: 3 Price: $10 USD Theme: Indiana Jones Year Released: 2008 RESOURCES: Peeron Bricklink Brickset Flickr (high res pics available here, also by clicking the image's in the review, new to Big Cam's reviews) THE REVIEW: The Box: Purchased by my wife and luckily kept in great condition. Front: LEGO did a great job of making this set look fun, which is what it's all about. Side: Full size portraits of Indie, his dad and the obligatory bad guy. Back: This could just as well be a review shot, it has all the players with a nice background, plus a motion shot of the gate, it moves, oh ya! Instructions Front: Same image as the box like most small sets, a great scene set up if you ask me. Back: Star Wars, Bionicle, City oh my. Wait, you can win LEGO? Maybe I should start reading these. Random Page: Not so random, as I choose it, and I choose it because the build steps are so short, this way we get the inventory and a nice scene. Contents: I must admit this looks small, probably because I left the bikes and fig's put together from when my wife built it. Printed Pieces: It's a TRAP!!, I mean a Map. No stickers, woot! Minifigs: Front: Indie, a typical baddy, and Jones Sr. Nice bunch. Back: No back printing Jones Sr,no helmet: I think LEGO did a spectacular job of making this face look a lot like Sean Connery, so I felt he deserved a no helmet shot, look at that beautiful printing going all the way up his head. Motorcycles, gates, boxes, Oh my! Motorcycles: Very nice pieces if I do say so. Also the sidecar can go on either bike, thanks technic pins. Front View: Very similar and that sidecar has two very usable studs, I can only image what could be thrown on the front of this two seater escape bike. Mirror image: Whoa, mirror image, well except for the whip, and backpack, and um the sidecar. OK, I guess they are no mirror images after all. Rear view: Nice backpack, and whip holder. What if Indies signature weapon was a bazooka? Gate: This is a nice little gate and comes directly out of the movie. The hinge is solid and the bar will stay at whatever angle you set it at. A few boxes and a flag make you feel right at home. Inside view: Nice little area with room for one to two inept guards. The Escape: Jones Sr. "I don't think this map is very clear" Forget the Map: Indie "Forget the map, we have to go!" Jones Sr. "Fine but I'm going to bring the map" The approach: Bad Guy: "I'll just stack these boxes in this exact location" Outta the way!: Indie "Yeeee ha" Jones Sr. "I've got the map!!" The entire set: For ten dollars I thinks it's a great deal, two awesome bikes, 3 minifigs, some weapons and a little extra to play with. Extra pieces: I labeled the gun as extra since it's not on the box shot, but I suppose it's for Jones Sr. Then you get a technic pin and an extra set of goggles, cool. Totals: Design: 10/10 I think for what it is, it's exactly what it should be. Everything fits well into the scene, the only thing that would have helped would be some plants or a tan baseplate as a dirt road, but that's just wish full thinking. Parts: 9/10 Three great fig's all with cool hats, and the bikes are spectacular pieces. I have very little to complain about on this one. Build: 6/10 Simple, very simple. The sidecar takes the longest and even that doesn't take any time. I fell this is a set that you buy mainly for the fig's and bikes, which barely take any building at all. Minifigs: 9/10 If they somehow could have incorporated another fig, this set would get a ten. Otherwise the three that come with it are great, no complaints. They all have cool hats, even Jones Sr. Playability: 10/10 The bike roll easily on flat surfaces, even the single bike, if you're careful enough. The whole set is simple and makes sense. I can't count how many times I've crashed the bikes through that little gate. Price: 10/10 I think the price is spot on. Four figs would be nice but it's made up for with the two excellent bikes. Totals: 54/60 I really like this set, I like it so much that it will probably be the reason I end up getting more Indie sets in the future. The minifigs are great, the bikes are great, and the whole scene is easy to remember and fun to play with. Definitely an excellent set deserving such a high score. If I would have been thinking I'd have bought more and made a motorcycle army. Tell me your thoughts.

I was going to literally say the same thing. Simple but hey, that's all forts used to be was simple towers. I like the fact that it opens up, it really expands the playability. old bricks are still bricks, and for something like this they add to the abandoned feel. A+

Um, there is already a mini convertable.

More birthdays, Woot! Remember you're never to old to play.

Excluding SW LEGO is cheap. Stupid corporations. I had no idea it was already going on, my radio commercial made it sound like it was one day only. -
Very nicely done. The scene makes sense and is set up well. I love the expressions on the faces. That's one thing I am truely jealous of is all the cool facial expressions the yellow heads get now days.

LOL, great job! It's hard to be original when the forum is called "Hi I'm new" Welcome to the board, I hope you save up that $8 an hour to buy LEGO.

You have to pay for 2 sets and you get the 3rd set free. So if you pay for 2 sets at $149.99 totalling $299.99, then you pay $299.99, but get a $149.99 set for free, or any set cheaper than $149.99 So basically you get 3 but pay for 2. -
Hey that looks pretty dang good. I think a few different angles would do your Vig justice. Some from behind the troopers would give a great perspective on it. Great job though.

Welcome to the forum!! There is a vast Star Wars forum bhere with reviews of almost every SW sets made.
-
Awesome pics! As a fellow photographer, I'm curious what kind of camera you used and your shutter speed?
-
It's unrealistic but I'd love both. Thena gain to think of another licensed theme that I absolutely love would probably completely break my wallet. plus a LEGO Kiera Knightly (drool)
-
The one you linked is great and much more detailed but I give the thread starter props fo doing this. making MOC's isn't easy. Getting the dimensions right, and making it look even close to the original is great. Indeed it needs some work but it is a great great start!

I watched 4 Heros episodes last night from Season 3. I'm a little behind so I am streaming them on netflix to get ready for the Season 4 premier tonight.
-
Thank you, given what we all know now, if I could go back in time, I'd be buying at least 10 of almost every set.
-
I agree. A battle damaged anakin would have been great. Adding anakin and obi-wan probably would have made the set too good of a thing for $10, but I certainly would have paid more, for more figs. Thanks again for the kind words on my review.

Much after my review of this set was completed, I was informed by fellow members that it actually is in the LEGO set so you can have Yoda hang on it and swing it around. Makes sense for the playability aspect, but I held true to my review which was originally done for the Reviewers Academy.

Thank you for the kind words. I must give some credit to the Reviewers Academy, they know their stuff. Expect many more Star Wars reviews form me in the future.
