*sigh* If Only the Movie Was This Good!!
7626 Jungle Cutter is an amazing Indiana Jones set, and even sets examples for LEGO sets of other themes!
Pros
- Colonel Dovchenko only comes in one other set.
- $39.99 for 511 pieces! Even counting all the tread pieces, it is a GREAT value!
- Trees make for a great jungle scene, as in the movie.
- Comes with a hideout for Indiana Jones, unlike in the movie. How can I object, though? ;)
- Compact, but formidable Jungle Cutter, with "exploding" feature.
- Despite rather fragile trees, the "chopping" feature works well.
Cons
- Stickers binding multiple pieces together. This is a case where printing would make a great set better.
- Treads can often be delicate, and snap off at times.
This set is a war machine of devastation and destruction. Paired with other sets, it works really well, but by itself, it is also amazing. I would recommend this to any LEGO fan.

Execellent Indy Set!
For me, this was a very nice surprise build. Upon first seeing it displayed in Toys R Us, it didn't strike me, but LEGO dot com had a sale last winter for $30 US and I jump on it to my delight.
Excellent representation of the 'jungle cutter' from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Good, fun build, nice mini-figs and a well designed jungle cutter/tank.
PRO's - Vehicle design exterior with the giant saw blades that spin simultaneously with 2 rubber wheels beneath along with the tank treads. Moves well on smooth and rough surfaces. Interior Jungle Cutter has a well designed engine. Simple but nicely designed driver's station and just below it (rear of vehicle) is a technique pin that when you push it in, snaps open the engine (middle of vehicle) simulating an explosion to the engine. Very well done!
The set also comes with a nicely designed cave. Here you have a technique gear attached to a web with a spider which goes up and down at the entrance. The cave is adorned with foliage and the playability is excellent as this can be an area to hide a box, jewels and tools along with an rpg weapon and extra grenade.
Along with all of this you get 5 giant ants, 3 trees (nicely designed) for the 'jungle cutter' to cut and knock over (doesn't snap in half too well but they do topple over), and 4 excellent mini-figs (Indiana Jones, Colonel w/pistol, 2 guards with different face designs, and the aforementioned box with 3 jewels(yellow, red, blue), One RPG with extra grenade, 5 tools (oil can, wrench, drill, screwdriver, hammer) and also one rifle for the guards. Ah...one more thing, you also get a neat little frog, small but very realistic looking (a nice surprise touch).
CON's - Really none except if you count the 'cave' in this kit which wasn't a scene in the movie and the original price at $50 US was a touch high but not a deal breaker.
Overall I highly recommend this kit to Indy fans and fans of cool working vehicles.
This is a highly playable set and enjoyable build. 5 Stars!7 out of 7 people thought this review was helpful.
It'll cut you to pieces.
This s one of my favorite sets. It's awesome in almost every way. To start off it comes with a Giant monster Jungle cutter with rotating blades. It also has a peg in the back that when you push it causes the top of the cutter shoot off as if being blown up by Indy's bazooka. Yes Indy has a bazooka!
The trees it comes with can be cut down by the blades, a cool feature. It also has 5 RED FIRE ANTS. While being a little oversized. You get to reanact the scene from the movie. What more it comes with a spider and the first (I've seen) lego frog. There is also a hideout that when you turn the switch causes a web to come down. Last but not least it comes with a box of tools behind it.
Pros:
Indy, Colonel Duvchenko, and 2 russian soldiers.
A really cool jungle cutter with blades and exploding mechanism.
Red fire ants, a spider, and frog.
A box of tools including a bazooka.
A hideout with trees.
Cons:
Lots of Stickers!
This is an all around awesome indy set i would recommend to anyone.0 out of 1 person thought this review was helpful.
