The verdict

This one won me over faster than I expected it to.

It is a small, cheap set recreating the runway chase from The Last Crusade, and both vehicles actually look like the vehicles, which is not something I say lightly about a 387 piece set with two builds crammed into it. Indy fans get a genuinely satisfying little diorama for not much money, and the new hat piece alone makes it worth grabbing while it is still findable. If you want a big showpiece build, this is not it, but as a shelf scene it earns its spot.

Best for: Indiana Jones fans who want a cheap, display-worthy movie scene rather than a huge centerpiece build

The full review

What it is

This set recreates the runway chase from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and it is one of those small sets that quietly does its job well. You get a Citroen 11 Legere Cabriolet and a Luftwaffe Pilatus P-2 standing in for the German fighter plane, both built at a scale that lets them share a shelf without either one looking like an afterthought. I went in expecting a bit of a compromise given the size, and instead the car in particular is a really charming little recreation, right down to its stance and grille shape.

The catch

I will be honest about the price of admission here too. At 387 pieces split across two vehicles plus three minifigures, neither the car nor the plane is a big, immersive build session, this is closer to an afternoon project than a weekend one. And the plane's canopy uses a curved clear sticker that a lot of builders, myself included after reading the reports, found genuinely stressful to apply. It is a one shot placement, and get it wrong and you are looking at a cloudy windshield for the life of the set. It retired at the end of 2024, so secondhand prices have already crept up past the original 34.99.

Who it's for

If you love the movie or you are chasing every version of Indiana Jones LEGO has made, this is an easy yes, the new hat and hair piece on Indy is worth the price alone. If you want a big satisfying build to sink an evening into, look further up the Indiana Jones lineup instead.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one feels like two quick, tidy little projects back to back rather than one long build. The car goes together first and is full of small angled and curved parts that trick the eye into seeing a real 1930s roadster, and then the plane build leans on wing and fuselage techniques that are simple but effective for its scale. Nothing here is technically demanding, this is a set built for confidence and speed rather than a wall of interlocking systems, which makes it a nice one for a newer builder to complete solo.

The standout piece is the new dual molded Indy hat and hair piece, molded in two shades of brown so the hat and hair read as separate materials without needing paint, and it shows up twice thanks to the two Jones minifigures. The three minifigures overall punch above their weight with sharp face prints and good expressions. The plane's clear curved windshield sticker is the one element that trips people up, it is unforgiving to place and several reviewers flagged it as the toughest single moment in an otherwise breezy build.
