i remember getting this set, but not enough to completely remember it. in this set you get 2 figs. 1)a camera man, and 2) johnny thunder, i have about 13 of him, from the adventurers sets, this set and a couple from my friends. i built this set awhile ago to bring back the memories, and boy it did. here are the pro's n' con's-

pros-
nice little set for johnny thunder
price- $7.00
camera
skull
scorpion

cons-
name, a knock off of Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom- (Temple of Gloom, Temple of Doom)
none others.

overall i give this a 5/5

This set was my first moviemaking set, and boy, did it live up to my expectations! The set is sooo fun to play with (I would put the guy on the floor thing, pull out the panel, and WHAM!)! Definitely worthe any money you pay for it, the set also has a cool cameraman. As if that werent enough, it also has a ruby, which are hard to come by these days.

Very good set overall.

This set is loads of fun, and is a pretty good representation of how a real action movie set works, with Johnny Thunder as a great action hero mascot. the tumbling tiles are very fun, but would be better if constructed higher above the ground. That way Johnny will have some way to fall. The camera rig is okay, though not as impressive as the camera setup in the "cameraman" set.

Very satisfactory overall.

GreatGreat little set. I like it because it has a great special effect. Johnny Thunder figs are always welcome in my LEGO collectIon, as well. I got this at Stonecrest Book AndTOy last week for $12.50. A little pricey, but well worth the $$$$$$$. Good camera, too.

END

My first ever review of a Lego set, telling others what I think of the set. I figured I'd go numerical order so my first review on Brickset is a review for set #1355 Temple of Gloom. Now I am going to be perfectly honest, the Studios theme of Lego has always interested me, not because it allows you to make movies with the CD-Rom stuff, but because it represents something that every Lego collection should at least have one of. Hollywood Movie Making.

I am a huge fan of films in general so when I first discovered the Studios theme of Lego I wanted it all, I wanted to add them to my City display as part of the movie making studio area. Where all the magic happens. So I started off small.

This set is a nice set for what you get, two figures, an actor (Represented by Johnny Thunder) and the cameraman who films all the action. I'd have to say that this is a stunt shoot (at least in my Lego Universe) due to the gimmick of dropping the floor out from under the Hero.

I will admit though that not everyone will enjoy the set. It's fairly basic, with one tiny 'set' and a camera for the cameraman to film the 'stunt/action'. You get two mini-figures, a skull and a scorpion, plus of course the prize. A red jewel. Lego however is all about imagination and using what you have to build something more. Even though the gimmic can get old after the ten millionth time, you could always come up with something else with the parts supplied.

But if you're like me and you want to make a Movie Studio for your Lego City, then all you need is a couple Studios sets and you can do anything you want. The Cameraman included with the set could even be used to film City sets in action, such as the Police Officers chasing after the Crooks, or if like me you enjoy mixing up your themes, Brickbeard the Pirate invading Fort Legoredo for the Gold.

I rate this set overall with a four, I know a lot of reviewers do the whole pros and cons things, but I can't seriously find fault with my Lego sets so I forgo that particular aspect of reviewing. If you're thinking of expanding into the Studios theme I strongly recommend testing the waters out with one of the smaller sets before going for the larger stuff.

And this set makes a perfect opening.
