Joey Lock Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 So judging by these sets Anyone whos interested in making a moc about the Battle of Stalingrad are in heaven! :-D Quote
Lord Beckett Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 So judging by these setsAnyone whos interested in making a moc about the Battle of Stalingrad are in heaven! :-D Well I don't want to sound like a history nerd, but the soviet uniforms at Stalingrad were quite different (more brown and with either helmets or those ugly furry hats). And for the nazis, they wore similar uniforms to those seen in the other Indy sets but once again, the coulour schemes were different. Quote

Perhaps one could make an Deutsches Afrikakorps army out of the recent Indy set Nazis instead? The only problem would be the lack of British Army mini figs, but the old adventurer line torso's are a good substitute, though the helmets are harder to make out of Lego elements...

Mr Spielbrick Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Just to inform you on the movie, Indy will be exploring Atlantis!!! Uhm... Where does that 'information' come from? People in the know have kept debunking Atlantis rumours for almost 20 years. I've seen no hints towards such explorations on the official site either. Ergo, I think it's unlikely Indy will go to Atlantis in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. About the uniforms: I think the new (Russian?) ones look fairly nazi-ish. I'll be using them if I ever need nazi's. From the official pics so far, I'd say Mutt has brown hair. Yet his LEGO version is black-haired. Hm... Quote

Also they wore Pilotka Hats for a very good reference get Call of Duty: Finest Hour! I got it as a christmas present and you have to work through a Soviet Campaign, Retaking Red Square and the one with Tanya the Sniper Woman you have to shoot around 20 Panzerschrecks with 50 soilders shooting at your warehouse. I know alot more about the Nazis and Soviets now. Also the British Regiment in Africa 1940. Brilliant Game. Sorry Im just reviewing now! :-D "Apart from that.... !

You could use the Brim helmet and cut of the chin guard to look like the good old Tommy helmet! Edited January 3, 2008 by Joey Lock Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 does anyone know if the nazis are in the fourth movie since there seem to be dark gray minifigs in there...I like what I'm seeing! X-D TT No... the new film is set in the 50's as the've wanted to keep with Harrison Ford's age and now the soviets are the token bad guys. The think is... Lucus Arts made an Indiana Jones PC game called Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine about 7/8 years ago and that was set in the late 40's with Indy having to fight the soviets so it feels a bit like the new film is actually drawing from the game.

the enigma that is badger Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 No... the new film is set in the 50's as the've wanted to keep with Harrison Ford's age and now the soviets are the token bad guys. As someone who's been following spoilers for Indy 4 fairly closely, I can confirm this is correct. Mutt's "greaser" look is also a good indication of the time frame. Perfect of "The Outsiders" MOCs or depicting your favorite Wild One moments! ;-) badger Quote
kill will Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Yay giant ants! :-D The jungle duel set probably has blanchettes character fighting mutt in the soviet camp *sweet* Quote
General Zen Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 These sets really rock my world! Even if they turn out to be crappy at a different perspective,(which I doubt) they come with a wonderful assortment of pieces that remind me of the glory days of the adventurers theme. My favorite has to be the one with the boat, truck, and crcodile. It almost lives up to the truck chase set that recently came out. Quote
Mace Windu Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Has anyone seen this:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tomm/rando/untitled.bmp X-D Quote
Scouty Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Has anyone seen this:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tomm/rando/untitled.bmp X-D That appears to be only a MOC. Quote
Piranha Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I presumed it would be January 2nd, the day the sets would be shipped out. January 6th and the annoying countdown continues :-D :-| It's very close though, super close I wonder what will be on it? Wait On Off! P Quote
JimBee Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 anyone know the costs of these new sets? Quote
blueandwhite Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Is it just me or are there a few dark brown arches in the set with Marion? I'm really hoping that this colour becomes something of a staple because much like dark green, blue and red it is absolutely amazing. I see so many incredible possibilities for dark brown. The abundance of dark green leaves is also quite exciting. My forests won't be quite so monochromatic in the future. These sets are definitely on my to get list, regardless of price. LEGO knows me (and my weakness for bricks to well) :-D . Quote
maiq the liar Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Oooh, those sets look amazing! especially that Massive chain-saw Tank! Quote
Eothein Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I can't believe nobody has posted the pic of the actual Jungle Dual set. Courtesy of Gizmodo.com: anyone know the costs of these new sets? Jungle Dual-$9.99. River Chase $19.99. Jungle Cutter $39.99. Temple of the Crystal Skull $79.99. Full story and more information - http://gizmodo.com/350473/new-indy-movie-l...o-crystal-skull Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Wow many tks for that pic Eothein ;-) *y* *y* Tks so much for the news of that really anticipated set !! That is a fantastic set IMO !! Look at the figs: sweet new hairdo and what a great biker torso *wub* And look all the sweet accessories of that set * food and a pearl frying pan !! * magnificant ants !! (an army of those will definitly be on the way !!) * weapons !! golden katana yeay, pearl shortsword, chrome knives My only grip would be the lack of a commie fig. A fantastic set and I'll buy several :-P G I will have a huge Indy army >:-( X-D *yoda* Quote
Plural Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Looks nice. I'm surprised at the amount amount of new molds that this line is giving us. Good find. *y* Quote
Tanotrooper Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Apart from that.... :-P ! Perhaps one could make an Deutsches Afrikakorps army out of the recent Indy set Nazis instead? The only problem would be the lack of British Army mini figs, but the old adventurer line torso's are a good substitute, though the helmets are harder to make out of Lego elements... I'm planning on making a video of about 100 Germans marching etc. making a big parade *skull* Have to find some IJ sets first, though :-/ TT Quote
Stauder Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Tese Look great! I will try to get at least 1 indie set... If I can Ill go For eather the Truck Chase or the River Chase. The Amphibious car looks GREAT! Not to mention nice details Like a Petrol Canister (Back fo the car) Stauder Quote
Athos Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 My thoughts: Jungle Duel: strange name for a set that doesn't look much like a duel. I'm liking the tent, may have to buy two of these... Two new hair pieces? Gold samurai sword. Not sure I like those new spider/ant pieces. I'd rather they used the old spiders and made a new fez mold. River Chase: not much to this one. The truck thing still looks very soviet. Looks like some dark brown tree limbs. Still not sure if those crocs are dark green. Not sure I like the light green soviet uniforms. They look too much like pajamas to me. Jungle Cutter: says Mutt is included, but I don't see him in the picture. I don't like that vehicle much at all. Interesting trees. I like the bionicle vine pieces. Probably the weakest set of the line. Temple: weird structure. I still can't figure out what the heads of the skeletons are. Nice natives. Not a very impressive set. I hope its not all stickered up, but it probably is... :down: Steve Quote
Asuka Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks, Eothein! *y* What a sweet set, especially the tent! I always wanted to get one of these.... :'-) Quote
Batbrick Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the pic Eothein! I didn't see that! This little set looks great, I love the tent, and we get two new hair molds, two knives, golden sword, two ants, a chicken leg and a map :'-) Batbrick Something! *wacko* Quote
Scouty Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Thank you for that great picture! This seems like a great small set *sweet* ! Quote
Belloq Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Hopefully the tent won't be paper *wacko* That Race for the Stolen Treasure truck cover sure was a BIG mistake! Quote
