Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes?!
Of all of the Indiana Jones sets I have, this one ranks in at one of my all time favorites. From Raiders of the Lost Ark, you have a play set for one of the iconic scenes of the movie when Marion and Indy are trapped down in the chamber/tomb area and trying to get out. Snakes that drop down, a skeleton that pops out to drop on Marion. Statues falling over. You have a printed piece/sticker for C-3PO and R2D2 that's funny to see and is even found in the movie. While the ark wasn't actually in the scene with Marion, it's there, included in the set so you can play Indy having found it, the Germans claiming it from him and then dropping Marion down with him.
The set was a lot of fun to put together and then display with lots of little details in it. So it was well worth picking up and getting.

"Snakes, why did it have to be snakes"!?
This along with the Temple Escape was the first 2 Indy sets I bought. They are incredible! This set is one of my favorites, it includes Indy, Marion, The Ark of the Covenant and much more that is so incredible! Here are the pros and cons
- Pros-
- -Awesome minifigs including Indy and Marion!
- -Ark of the Covenant!
- -Snake mechanism(not totally accurate with movie but still cool!)
- -Falling Anubis statues that reveal skeleton behind the wall!
- -R2D2 and C3PO design(very detailed!)
- Cons-
- -Really none at all, could have included Sallah, but other than that none.
Overall 5/5, a great addition to the Indiana Jones lego line!
