Earlier
this week, LEGO Group
announced
a partnership with Lucasfilm Ltd. to produce building sets based
on the Indiana Jones franchise.
And here on the right we have the very first image of the Indiana
Jones LEGO minifig!
Three worldwide blockbuster films, and the highly anticipated May
2008 premiere of the new Indiana Jones movie, will provide inspiration
for a series of highly iconic and action-packed build-and-play adventures
of the rogue archaeologist and hero.
Four playsets based on the classic trilogy are slated to launch
in January 2008:
- Temple Escape (Raiders playset)
- Race for the Stolen Treasure (Raiders playset)
- Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb (Raiders playset)
- Motorcycle Chase (Last Crusade playset)
Four more constructible playsets based on the fourth movie will
launch in May 2008.
A whole lot more info can be found in the LEGO
Press Release published on June 18th, 2007.
