OK, so it’s not the title of the next Indiana Jones™ film, but it is the title of an excellent kit I have just treated myself to.

It’s kit number 7622 for those that are interested, and includes Indiana Jones™ on a white horse, a 6 wheeled truck with driver and chest of treasure and a jeep with a machine gun.

It’s been a while since I’ve bought a LEGO kit and followed the instructions building it, but it was a welcome break from building web sites.

Kits have moved a bit since the days when I used to build them, and the detail is now excellent. The mudguards and grills on the vehicles really make them look the part.

Here is one of many pictures I took of the kit last night:

Doesn’t Indy look cool!

I’m not a big gamer, but I do like games that you can just put on for ten minutes to kill a bit of time. I’ve been playing the LEGO Star Warson the PC for a while now and just love it. The way they have made the game and the game play is a nice departure from the usual shoot everything types games, or games that need 3 weeks of solid game play just to get past the welcome screen. This game is based on Episode I, II & III so you get characters like Anakin, Darth Maul, General Grevious and Mace Windu.

Then came LEGO Star Wars II which is pretty much the same thing, but based on Episode IV, V & VI with characters like Luke, Han and Princess Leia.

Recently a new game has been released that joins the two together and brings a few additional levels to the game, and best of all, if you play it on the Nintendo Wii, you get to use the light saber by waving your Wii remote around. For any Star Wars fan, that has got to be a reason for buying it! Oh, it’s called LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga.

So that’s Star Wars covered, but what else is there? I was also browsing through Brothers Brick again and saw them mention some screen grabs from a LEGO Batman game. My eyes lit up as it looks just as cool as the Star Wars games, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for any more news on that one.

I’m hoping the new Indiana Jones sets spark off plans for an Indy game too, and looking at the Lucasarts web site, this may not be too far away.

Thanks to The Brothers Brick LEGO Blog for alerting me to the new Indiana Jones mini figures which you can see in a photo review over at Brickzone.net.

You can see some similar pieces found in other kits, and some new ones too. Indiana’s hat looks pretty cool and I’ve not seen the satchel bags before, but then I’m still fairly new to the whole minifig scene.

I can’t wait for this and other Indiana Jones sets to become available!

Now I’m not too sure which set this minifig comes from or if it indeed is an Indiana Jones LEGO mini figure, but it does look like him. It could be a hybrid I’ve picked up from ebay along the way, as it could possibly be a Han Solo body… maybe, although I’m not so sure.

Anyway, I think it’s a great minifig.

UPDATE: Well as you can see by Bob’s comment below, I was a little bit wrong in assuming this was Indiana Jones, and it appears to be a woman’s body too. I think those LEGO hormone pills have been a bit misused here

Thanks Bob, glad you are checking up on me.
