I am 9 and am still on legos. It took a lot of hours out of my day, but it is very fun. When you drop the door with a crash, the "boulder" rolls. Pull out the idol's stick piece, "rocks" fall down. I personally swich it with another piece, then take it out.

You can help them under the door, but you might have to move the boulder. You can pull out another stick, and some "knives" shoot out and you can push out the "swords". Overall, great.

First of all, I think Legos are way to overpriced. Having said that, I think the sets are great. My 8 year old is really into all of the Indiana Jones & Star Wars playsets.

This temple escape is very cool. With all the elements of the first opening scene of the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The boulder is really cool as well as the idol and the darts and pit, swinging swords and the collapsing wall.

I recommend this for kids that are fans of the movies, or just want to play a set that has fixed elements in it. I think that Legos are very durable and very well put together. But they're just way too expensive.

My 10 year son and I put this together over a few days. It was a wonderful activity, and once it's assembled this set actually performs - add in some imagination and you've got great play. We're huge Indiana Jones fans, so this toy was all the better.

Lego is great for the mini engineer in the family. Though he's built the temple only once, my just turned 7 seven-year-old has created innumerable variations of buildings and vehicles that are great exercise for his creativity.

This toy is fun for kids or makes a cute display for any geek. I fall into the latter. The kit displays my favorite sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark that shows what Indy is all about. The set seems more expensive than it should be which is a problem with all Lego sets.

This set looks very neat but I'll take the opportunity to comment on how sad it is how these Lego kits are basically model sets complete with instruction manuals on where to put every piece. They have lost their original spirit of just being piles of blocks with no defined purpose for them but only your imagination to work with. Guess this is the only way they can make themselves more appealing in an age where videogames reign supreme(also by branching out to videogames too).

For us raised on the first Indiana Jones, it's tempting to think this is the ultimate Lego for our kids. I built this with my 6 year old who loves Indiana Jones. But since we built it, he's hardly played with it. By looking at the box, you might expect spears to go flying and the boulder to automatically roll. If there's some cool mechanism here, I wasn't able to get it to work. Despite the rave reviews, I was not totally impressed. Think twice before shelling out too much money for this one.

This set took a little longer to assemble that what it appears on the box. It is full of intricacies that you cannot see on the box, like the trip wire that is assembled to cause the tomb to fire all the darts and collapse, having the ball race after Indy as it does in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. That was certainly a nice bonus because we just thought the thing was something to assemble and play with. Didn't know the thing actually works! It's pretty cool watching all the darts fly out! If you're blessed enough to find one of these sets, be sure to grab it! It's just so very unique you have to add it to your collection. It is one of the house favorites by far, holds up well, and provides a neat challenge to Lego afficionadoes and engineers. Highly recommend!

My 6 yr. old son loves this set. It was missing a pair of legs, but he's been enjoying it since Christmas. Legos are awesome but very expensive. It was great to find something that you can't find in stores.

My 6 year old LOVES Indiana Jones and enjoyed this set, it was a little too much for him to put together with out help but enjoyed putting it together with some help.

My son really likes Indiana Jones Legos and he had a lot of fun building this set. Set came in as promised and on time. Thank you.
