The Brothers Brick

Now I want to build a Lego Boulder. If only I had 5 million bricks!

Via Kotaku and my cousin, Jeremy, who told me about it.

Yep, you read that right! The demo for the new LEGO Indiana Jones video is now available for download here. Brace yourself, it’s nearly 470 MB, but I’m sure it’s worth it (I’m about halfway through downloading it as I write this post). I can’t wait to play! What a great way [...]

Piotrek kicks off the Indiana Jones contest on Klocki with this great scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:

The umbrella design is not something I’ve seen before, and the birds are wonderful.

If you’ve been wondering what MisterZumbi has been up to lately, wonder no more. Like Jamie Berard and Mark “Nabii” Stafford, Adam “MisterZumbi” Grabowski is the latest LEGO fan to pull up stakes, move to Billund, and start working as a set designer for The LEGO Company.
To celebrate Adam’s accomplishment and the release of the [...]

Well, this was somewhat unexpected. The new LEGO Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sets are now available from the LEGO Shop.

All four new LEGO Indy sets:

7624 Jungle Duel
7625 River Chase
7626 Jungle Cutter
7627 Temple of the Crystal Skull

Even more unexpectedly, the new 10186 General Grievous figure is also available:

Eurobricks member Alex54 has posted an early photo review of the three smaller LEGO sets from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

7625 River Chase:

Check out the Soviet soldiers:

See more of Alex54’s photos in his Indiana Jones gallery on Brickshelf.

UPDATE: 7628 Peril in Peru is now available from the LEGO Shop.
It looks like there will be a Toys R Us exclusive Indiana Jones set upcoming. It contains 625 pieces set with 6 minifigs. Currently these are the only pictures available from the Japanese Toys R Us website.

And the box art:

In response to our recent post about ImpreSariO’s movie posters, reader Craig sends word of his own set of LEGO movie posters.
My favorite is The Simpsons Movie, proving once again that simplicity is often the best policy — that’s one round tile and 40% of a minifig torso assembly.
Here’s Reservoir Dogs and an Indiana Jones [...]

Toy Fair 2008 is approaching and there have been pictures of the late 2008 sets circulating on the web. I found Joe Meno with some of the first pictures of themes including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Speed Racer, Bionicle, and Batman.

Update (AB): Ace Kim also has extensive pictures from Toy Fair 2008, nicely organized into [...]

To avoid inadvertently posting spoilers, I will merely link to the page with the awesome new Indiana Jones 4 LEGO sets.  But trust me, the risk of spoiling Indiana Jones and the Crystal of the Crystal Skull is well worth drooling over the LEGO.
EDIT (AB): I’ll just add a belated thanks to Jesus Diaz over [...]

No, this isn’t an official set, although it looks very much like it could be! Tyler (“Legohaulic”) has indeed captured the look of the current Indiana Jones sets with his Flying Wing (from Raiders of the Lost Ark).

The main LEGO Shop page on LEGO.com hasn’t been updated yet, but the new Indiana Jones sets are now available from the LEGO Shop online.
You can get all four sets in the Indiana Jones™ Classic Adventures Collection. In fact, if you buy them from that link, you’ll be helping us pay the bills. ;-)
And now [...]

My lovely wife apparently went out at the last minute and found both 7620 Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase and 7621 Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb.
Naturally, I spent Christmas morning savoring the build:

Oh, and I can’t wait to play LEGO Indiana Jones next summer on my new Wii:

I hope everyone got what they wanted [...]

Eurobricks always has pictures of new sets long before they’re out. Here’s a gallery of some of the new Indiana Jones sets and Speed Racers too. I am already loving the temple and the windshield piece on the racers.

Prepare your drool-bucket, Flickrite Doctor Sinister has just posted some detailed pictures of Indiana Jones set 7622 Race for the Stolen Treasure. You can read his review on Eurobricks here.

EDIT (AB): Early reviews of other sets are starting to trickle in. Jonathan G. has more (via Klocki):

Head on over to BrickZone.net for a full photo review of what appears to be the very first set from the upcoming Indiana Jones line — 7620 Indiana Jones Motorcycle Escape.

Pepik has built a really cool tank, namely the Mark I from the first World War.

StarWars.com has the first high-resolution images of box art from one of the upcoming Indiana Jones LEGO sets, 7620 Motorcycle Chase:

Well, it’s that time of the year again. Fans everywhere are running across better and better pictures of upcoming sets. Eurobricks is famous (dare I say notorious?) for finding leaked pictures, and this latest batch is no exception.
Bearing in mind that we don’t yet know if these are just prototypes, and that LEGO has not [...]

Via circuitous links leading ultimately to Cool Toy Review.

Joystiq has broken the news that the rumored LEGO Indiana Jones video game has been confirmed. Watch the trailer right here on The Brothers Brick:

Thanks to reader David for the tip! (And check out the Official Web site.)

This doesn’t go in the “News” category quite yet, but Kotaku broke the rumor yesterday that LucasArts will be announcing a LEGO Indiana Jones video game at E3.
Presumably, the game will be developed by Travellers Tales, creators of both LEGO Star Wars and the upcoming LEGO Batman. We shall see.
(Thought I’d post this now, [...]

I suspect this will put to rest any debate that the rendered images we’ve seen of Indy so far weren’t “real”:

Brickshelf user Tilius has posted an CGI image of the new Indiana Jones minifigure.

New whip, new hat, possibly even some sort of new bag/pouch? Plus, of course, new head, torso and leg designs? I like. A lot.
EDIT (AB): ThrowMetheIdol.com seems to have been the first to post this picture, and the [...]

Nope, not a rumor after all. Here’s the press release:
