At this point, a cut scene shows the Maharajah throwing down a vial of some mysterious black substance, which revives the slave driver and heals any damage you've done.

In this review, I will be sharing my personal experience with this product and providing my overall thoughts on it. It's likely that more sets may arrive over the course of the year, but the three sets we currently do have all offer something unique, appealing to different corners of the Lego market. They are the bad guys in the movie, so it is natural that they are portrayed as bloodthirsty and evil beings. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. Even if we accept that the villains aren't supposed to be representative of Indians, and are merely an absurd cult, one can't escape the 'white saviour' narrative, whereby those Indian characters who *aren't* villainous are otherwise helpless and need rescuing by a white man (although, I disagree about the 'pigeon English' complaint; I suspect the American/English characters would sound just as bad, if not worse, were they to attempt Hindi, Pumjabi, Catonese or Mandarin etc.

I think 7199 is less bad in this regard and rereleasing it would probably be a better way to do a set for the film instead.

I think something worth noting about Indy is that, while he is a bit of a scoundrel, you can count on him to be heroic. Yes, it’s annoying that LEGO doesn’t elaborate besides releasing a short statement, but that’s their right, we are not entitled to an explanation. As you fight them, one of the freed slaves goes through the crawlspace at the top of the steps on the right and pulls the lever there to raise the 2 square platforms below.Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has also been criticised for its portrayal of Indian culture since the film was released. When you've taken care of them, jump onto the platform and turn the key to lower the cage and free the slave child inside.

If there is any heroism in Anakin, it’s that after slaughtering the Tuskens he tries to be a hero for the Republic. Fighter Plane Chase building set encourages children to recreate an exciting scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film. Fortunately, I own the previous incarnation of Temple of Doom but was really looking forward to this one (and those updated minifigs!My theory: they’ve decided to hold back on the Temple of Doom set because the 40th anniversary of the movie is next year, and they’re delaying the launch until 2024, like the Jurassic Park sets for the 30th anniversary this year. If you reach the end in time, Lao Che will appear and can be purchased for 50,000 pieces once you subdue him.
