If you ignore the raping of the Indiana Jones movies by George Lucas, and judge this set on its own merit, it ranks very highly. This is an awesome parts set. Tons of rare color pieces. It has over 100 dark tan pieces! It has a nice selection of plant pieces as well. It has 3 dark green and 3 bright green large leaf piece. It also has six green small leaf pieces and ten three small leaf plant. It also has 14 tan 1X2X5 columns and six 1x6x5 wall sections. A couple of dark green pieces, dark red (mostly 1x1 round), and large amounts of gray and dark gray pieces round out this set. Total piece count 929

This set comes with 10 minifigs with the 2 Ugha Warriors being exclusive to this set. The crystal skulls are not really worth it and look much better in pictures then in real life. It does come with some nice minifig accessories including 2 old school axes in black, 2 black spears, 2 scythe blades, rifle, saber, knives, Indy's bag and whip, and a diamond.

The set was a medium hardness build. It has several ingenious Technic assemblies that add the "play" aspects to the set. You definitely want to build this on a table as the baseplate is somewhat flimsy to attach bricks on top of it. I don't know if it is supposed to match dark tan but my baseplate is not quite dark tan. This set uses stickers for much of its decoration, including the rock pattern of the baseplate. I did not attach my stickers and it looks much less finished then the box picture. I do believe all of the stickers do not overlap more then one piece.

Overall a nice addition to my collection.
