Temple Building Set Ideal for Adult, 5-in-1 Construction Toy Includes Gate, Three Levels and Holy Grail Scene Building Block, Birthday Gift for Kids 8-12 Years Old, 2388Pcs

There are times where the name brand building block companies don't make a model you really want in your collection. I am a big Lego fan and have a decent number of sets displayed throughout my home. While I prefer the name brand overall, there are times I find something unique not directly made by them. These 'MOC' sets can be risky though as some are near-name brand quality with others just thousands of poorly made pieces in a bag that you hope include everything you need and directions only via PDF online. Thankfully none of that is an issue with this set! I have all of the name brand Indiana Jones sets and when I saw this MOC set it really looked like a fun take on the Last Crusade finale scenes. Everything comes in a very giftable box, including a very clear and well laid out direction book.The model is made up of four dioramas detailing the different challenges Indy goes through to reach the Holy Grail. The pieces are in numbered bags very logically laid out. You start out building the base of all four scenes then each subsequent bag contains the parts to complete one scene or challenge. The bricks are quite close to name brand quality, with only a few of the larger thin plates requiring a little extra push to fully connect them. Other off brand sets I have used often don't cleanly meet or attach with small spaces, but that was not an issue with this set. It was really fun how most of the sections have traps that can be triggered by pulling or turning a piece in the front of the model. It was also a nice touch that each challenge section had bricks on the front detailing the challenge phrases used in the film.In addition to the six bags of bricks, an additional bag of extra pieces is included. I only needed to go to these bags twice for a missing piece and suspect it was due to me dropping a brick. Similar to the name brand sets, each bag includes a small number of extra pieces as well. Once completed, I used some of the extra pieces for a little additional detailing though the 'by the book' build looked exceptional without my fiddling. There were no decals - yeah! - and all detailed bricks and minifigs had clear decorative designs printed on them.The minifigs all look great and assembled easily. The hands and arms are not attached requiring a little bit of assembly not typically needed in the name brand set. This is not difficult nor an issue, but a minor difference so wanted to note it.If you are into Indiana Jones, building block sets or just a movie fan, this is a great set for your collection.

Great brick set, very well thought out and easy to build. Was missing some pieces but they were very helpful in getting my a replacement immediately. Great support!

Highest Recommendation!There are very few LEGO sets for Indian Jones and the Last Crusade as compared to some of the other films (and not large sets). When I saw this product, I had to get it to try it out as this is my favorite movie. The building set is comprehensive of the last major scenes from the show and the design is so detailed.The front reproduction of the old church, which is in Petra Jordan, is very close to the original. I love it. Each of the challenges to get to the last knight are in the set and are so detailed! The first one has a great play feature for the "blades" to pop-out. Then you have the room to spell the name of God. There are letters on the ground and they cave in if your push on the wrong one! There is also the bridge of "faith" to cross into the last knight. The final room with the knight and the holy grail is one of my favorite; it is so detailed with lots of chalices and gold.I was super impressed with the detail and the play features. I recommend that you invest in some more Indiana Jones fun! I did purchase a few other Lego minifigures to go with the set to complete it but that's easy enough to do.I've never tried this brand before but I'm a big fan now. It turned out so great and I'm very glad to have it in my Indiana Jones collection.

I have an eight year old grandson who loves Lego and Indiana Jones. He has the most recent Lego Indiana Jones sets. This set showed up while while I was looking. This particular looked awesome, had good reviews, and was on sale, so I bought it. I'm so glad I did. My grandson loves it. His dad built the set with him and they didn't have any problems. They sent me a video afterwards and this set is awesome! There is so much to it and it's pretty big. Great Set! We really do recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. The detail on this is incredible my son absolutely loves it

Son is a Indiana fan and was looking for a last minute gift idea. He was very pleased with it. Took a few hours to get it all put together and he has it up on his display shelf in his room now.

This set is very detailed and each zone is interactive.Some annoying assembly moments with faulty design of locked down walls and rubber band function.But worth it in the end. Really thoughtful details to bring back favorite movie moments.

I had this in my Wish List for weeks, maybe months, because my sons love LEGOs and our household loves Dr. Jones but the official brand had only released limited options since the last movie over a decade ago. I kept looking at how cool the Temple Building Set is, but I wasn't sure of scale. Finally, I found a review showing the figure size and I was able to confirm it really does work 1:1 with the official brand. This is my favorite movie of the series, and I was so happy to find such a great (and detailed!) set that I can now build with my sons. The packaging is sturdier than LEGO and it arrived quickly and after waiting so long it was great to finally open it up and see I'd made the right call getting it. Will keep an eye out for more from this manufacturer!
