  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) Personally, I hope they make a set of the face melting scene. (17 years ago, 21-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Don't worry, Al, you may be able to take comfort that the sets include (URL) new guns> in lieu of the murflable symbols. No swastikas(1), but plenty of guns! No problems there! Cheers Richie Dulin (1)IANAN either (17 years ago, 21-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) That symbol featured quite prominently in the films. Was there a special murfled version made for the German market? Maybe lego could do the same, similar to what they did with the Dino Attack theme. Not that I particularly want to see a (...)

  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) I believe they wouldn't be able to use swastikas and still legally sell in Germany. (17 years ago, 21-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Given the success of all forms of the LEGO Star Wars game (LSW2-DS being the one notable exception), and the impending release of a much-anticipated LEGO Batman game...I guess this means there's a high likelihood of seeing a game in the LEGO (...)

  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) Unlike Space and Star Wars, it was always pretty obvious that Johnny Thunder and the Adventurers theme was flirting with sparking off a copyright lawsuit from Lucasfilm. (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
This could also be LEGO's way to slyly "ease" into a military theme. I wouldn't be surprized if they avoid using swastikas and the like, which is just as well perhaps. But I could see this generating all kinds of interestng minifigs and maybe also (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) There is an image on (URL) showing Indy. I don't know if it is final, but it looks cool. I am not into themes or lego product other than the elements for me to create what I want, but I am looking forward to seeing what these sets look like. (...)

  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) I guess that was what I was trying to say. Instead of looking at it as one theme dying and another being created, I'm looking at it as a continuation, just with different characters. Especially since the last Adventurers set was released four (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

Maybe *now* we'll get a minifig fedora (fingers crossed)! (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) But wait - since the old Adventurers and upcoming Indy line share so many similarities, wouldn't it make more sense to only have one and not both? Besides, despite the two distinct looks of Classic Space and Star Wars, it was generally assumed (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

--snip-- (...) Not to mention the joy of not getting any more Johnny Thunder's... if I see that minifig head again I think I'll scream ;) Tim (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) Classic Space and Star Wars have two distinct looks. I think the only real difference between the Adventurer's line and anything they do with Indiana Jones would be in the characters. Vehicles, temples, tombs, etc. are pretty generic. Unlike (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) I suppose this means the death knell (or at least on-hold status) for the Adventurers theme, the way Star Wars killed Classic Space? Still I doubt most people will be quite as emotionally attached to Adventurers.. (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

  Re: LEGO licenses Indiana Jones
 
(...) All right! I've always regretted not getting into the adventurers theme, and now it looks like I will have a second chance. Great accessories, cool minifigs and lots of tan brick! Way to go TLG! (17 years ago, 18-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)
