Im so mad I missed out on the Indiana jones theme
Cool set from a terrible movie
I'd love to get 4 1/2 minifigures and a few nice elements for $20.
Is another Indiana Jones movie still in the works?

Yes. James Mangold (Logan, Ford v Ferrari) is directing. It’s set for 2022 I think.
Excellent value for the money. I remember being in a Target in Winston Salem, NC in summer 2009 and seeing far more sets than my SWVA coalfields Walmart ever had; but didn't buy any sets from this theme. But, at that time, I hadn't watched a single one of the films. I have to admit, one of the few licenses LEGO has done that I did like. Mainly because we got stuff LEGO typically avoids. The same goes for the Lone Ranger. It was based on a movie that was universally panned, but at least we got official US Cavalry Troops, interesting parts (such as firearms that looked like blued steel), and a new horse mold (and might I add, Trigger from one of the smaller sets is on the same shelf with my Breyer horses).
Can be considered a precursor to the Star Wars vignette sets from today.
I’m currently watching for listings of this set on ebay to complete my indiana jones collection and even used this thing is going for like 3x retail often enough
Indiana Jones: hey guys look at this thing I found.
Cemetery Warrior: Congratulations. Let me play my flute for you to celebrate.

Yes, but we won’t see it until July 2022. Also James Mangold is set to direct instead of Spielberg and George Lucas might not come back. However, Harrison Ford will reprise his role but this will be his last Indy film.
Back to the set, I kind of like some parts of this but I don’t want it as much as the Temple of Doom or Shanghai Chase.
For a moment I thought it said chinchilla cemetery battle. I was disappointed.:(
Bring back Indiana jones theme, especially Raiders of the Lost Ark sets!
I'd buy this second hand for a decent price

I think it's fine. Sure there's some weird parts like Mutt swinging with the monkeys, but I think it's pretty entertaining. But I agree that the set is cool.
I didn't know Harry Potter was in Indiana Jones =)
Wish I got this one!
This set's aftermarket value always shocked me
