Guide Review - Lego Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal Skull
In true Indiana Jones style, the Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal skull offers lots of excitement and adventure. In the thrilling climax, Indiana Jones and Mutt must discover the secret of the lost Temple of the Crystal Skull before it falls into the hands of the dangerous Irina Spalko. But first, they have to survive the many hidden perils of the ancient temple.

The temple is a giant building which you have to put together. This itself is quite a task but well worth the effort. Once assembled, the temple is quite magnificent. It's a three storeyed structure with markings and weeds on the wall to give it an authentic look. There is also a grand entrance archway to the temple complete with a scary looking ancient carving on the top. Filled with skull dropping booby traps, fall-apart steps, a rotating staircase, spinning skeletons and an opening tower, the temple is the perfect spot to recreate the exciting fantasy. Of course life is not so easy for our famous hero. Awaiting Indiana Jones and Mutt are ancient warriors armed with weapons, both dead and alive who will do anything in their power to stop them. A fierce battle is surely on the cards for our heroes. Though I must admit the dead skeletal warriors look rather funny than scary but nonetheless they will prove to be a tough obstacle to overcome. The Russian guards will be much tougher not to mention alive opponents. Of course to leading them into battle is Irina Spalko who is the most dangerous adversary. This Lego adventure comes with the Indiana Jones figure complete with the outfit and trademark whip, Mutt Williams™, Irina Spalko™, Russian Guard, 2 Ughs Warriors™, Armored Skeleton and 3 Akator Skeleton™ Minigiures. With a total of 924 pieces, the Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal Skull playset is perfect for children over the age of 8.
