Behind the scenes

Although the book covers many minifigures from the LEGO Indiana Jones theme produced between 2008 and 2009, not all were included. The most prominent omissions include the Arab Swordsman, the German Mechanic, Kazim, Elsa Schneider and the Akator Skeleton. In fact, the only movie subtheme that has every one of its minifigures represented is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
