The development of the Indiana Jones LEGO theme followed a similar process to other LEGO themes, with sets being designed by LEGO's team of designers in Billund, in consultation with franchise owner Lucasfilm. The movies include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade. Each of the four Indiana Jones movies is its own subtheme and has at least two LEGO sets and all feature Indiana Jones searching for some priceless relic. The LEGO Indiana Jones theme was released in 2008 and contained sets based on the Lucasfilm movies Indiana Jones. San Diego Comic-Con 2008 BrickMaster - 1 306,77 €ħ7015 Temple of the Golden Idol - 1,545 pieces As of today, the average annual growth of all the sets in Indiana Jones is around 10.6% per year. It is comprised of 4 subthemes with the most sets in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which consists of 8 sets and has an annual growth of around 9.9%. Most sets were released in 2008 which accounted for 11 sets. Still, KOTCS is a very fun ride from start to finnish and a worthy addition to the saga.Indiana Jones was introduced in 2008 and currently consists of 21 sets. It's a shame that these elements were included because they're distracting for the worse reasons. Add some outrageous moments like surviving a nuclear blast and you start to question some decisions but they're not as bad as some people make it to be, since this is an Indiana Jones flick after all, that has excesses at every turn. Hell, take Mad Max II and it's climatic chase sequence that was much better realized with stunts, explosions, real cars and real settings, turning it into an amazing unforgetable experience that actually beats this one right of the water, despite being made over 20 years ago. The first chase in the movie involving a bike, cars and some REAL settings was stunning and was much less elaborate than this one. CGI scorpions, ants, monkeys and prairie dogs (?) are fake as hell and completly loose the impact it should've had! Not just that, but the jungle chase sequence despite being super imaginative and fun for the most part is just badly done. Come on! Some of the best moments in the first three flicks were the usage of real animals to create those unforgetable moments in the lost temples. KOTCS has an avalanche of bad CGI, where most of it was completly unnecessary. Problem is, the first three Indys were an ingenious mix of pratical effects and live settings that were palpable and believable at every turn. Shia is not bad either on an adequate role for him. Bringing back Karen Allen as Marion was immensily enjoyable and her dynamic with Ford was untouched, giving room for some of the best moments on the flick even if they're so little and everyone wanted a bit more of interaction between these two. Not just that, but this time the secondary cast is pretty good, with Cate Blanchett being such an old-fashioned villain it's hilarious to watch her, almost straight out of a 30s flick. The plot is very similiar to the previous flicks, with tons of exposition as expected but it's a blast from start to finnish and Ford seems to be having tons of fun with it's hat and whip back. It's an Indiana Jones flick that could've easily been made right after The Last Crusade that it would blend seamlessly 20 years ago. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is shamelessly old-fashioned on the best ways possible. It's just a bit schizophrenic on it's approach but it's definently a superb adventure flick. Call me a deranged loonatic, but this is definently not the worse Indy flick despite all it's madness.
