For lovers of lego's traditional adventure genre, lego's Indiana Jones series launched in 2008-2009 is undoubtedly an unattainable classic; with the help of the excellent design, rich mechanics and play points at the time, and the release of the fourth film of the original in 2008, LEGO's Indiana Jones series still has many loyal fans today 12 years later, and is as popular as the original that pioneered modern adventure movies.
Classic kits such as the truck in the 7622 and the jungle logger in the 7626 are still not outdated even today.
Coinciding with the fifth installment of the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies expected to be released in 2021, a player designer @BenBuildsLego has also released his own 40th anniversary idea for the Raiders of the Lost Ark series on the OFFICIAL IDEAS website: Indiana Jones Trilogy.
Sure enough, the classic trilogy of movies doesn't need a fourth part (laughs)
This commemorative kit of 650 pieces of commemorative kits line up the main scenes from the 80s trilogy, from left to right, the Temple of Doom in the second film "Legend of the Magic Palace", the "Ark of the Covenant" in the first part, and the Sun Temple in the third "Holy War Soldier", all three landmark buildings are presented in miniature form, to some extent, more like Lego's own 60th anniversary kit 40290.
The fronts of the three scenes are basically composed of glossy parts, which greatly reduces the building block feeling of this display kit, and the appearance performance is quite outstanding. Due to the convenience of the display, the designer designed the base width of this kit to be 8 blocks; but considering its length of up to 35 blocks, it is certainly not too convenient to put it up...
Behind the Temple of Doom is a miniature version of the classic minecart chase scene of the original, the same scene that was also photogenic in the flagship 7199 11 years ago.
The back of the Temple of the Sun also has a certain interior structure, and the nature above the temple is the legendary Holy Grail. Do you want to prepare the Holy Grail Treasure Excalibur as well (laughs)
The 3 figures given by the designer in the kit are from the original, the male protagonist Indiana Jones basically directly used the original lego version of the figure 12 years ago, but the heroine Marion Ravenwood and the male protagonist's father: Dr. Henry Jones's figure and the old kit have a big difference in the head sculpture and body printing, may be from the third party customization or maybe?
This set of works released around New Year's Day 2020 has reached 7,695 likes on the official website of LEGO IDEAS, which is also quite popular among IDEAS works in the same period, and it can be said that there is no problem in estimating more than 10,000 likes according to the remaining time; but such film and television works are often limited by IP, and the Indiana Jones copyright in Lego's hands has long expired, if Lego intends to continue the frontier when the fifth movie is released, With its excellent appearance and sentimentality, this set of works personally believes that there is still a good chance of becoming a formal suite.
However, this set of works basically only has the attribute of display, and it is too dead on the theme of the original 40th anniversary, and considering that the fifth film schedule of Raiders of the Lost Ark has been postponed twice in a row, if the sequel film still cannot be released as scheduled next summer, this 40th anniversary-themed kit is more or less untimely.
That's all there is to this LEGO IDEA INTRODUCTION, I'm 93, we'll see you next time
