Lego Indiana Jones is a Lego theme based on the Indiana Jones film franchise, licensed from Lucasfilm. The theme was launched in 2008 to support the upcoming release of the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Initially, sets were based on two of the three earlier films (Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade). Sets featuring scenes from the fourth film were released with the film, later in 2008. The Temple of Doom film was featured until 2009, in a large set which re-created the mine-cart chase using new narrow-gauge Lego train track.

The theme also features in a video game series. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures was released on June 3, 2008, based on the original trilogy. A second game called Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues was released in November 2009, with similar reworked levels from the first game like Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, along with scenes from the new Kingdom of the Crystal Skull film, along with a level editor feature.

A computer-animated short film series called Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick, directed by Peder Pedersen, was also released on the official Lego site; it combines details from all four Indiana Jones-features into one continuous adventure.

[edit] Sets

Of the initial wave of sets released in 2008, Temple Escape (7623) was one of the biggest, and features the famous boulder chase scene from the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Measuring 53cm long, the set included numerous 'booby traps' from the film, including shooting spears and tumbling rocks. As well as Indiana Jones himself, the set included minifigs of René Belloq and Satipo. Pilot Jock and his seaplane were also included as a late addition, with the Lego designer and Lucasfilm agreeing that they were an important addition to complete the scene (allowing Indy to escape) [1].

Two other medium-size sets released at the same time also featured scenes from the Lost Ark film. The Lost Tomb (7621) depicted a snake-filled tomb, which Indy must escape from, and Race For The Stolen Treasure (7622) depicted the chase scene from the film, with Indy riding a horse in pursuit of a truck.

Later in 2008, four sets were released featuring scenes from the new film. The biggest of these was Temple of the Crystal Skull (7627), which focused on the final scene of the movie, and included a rotating circle of 'crystal skeletons', as well as the falling obelisk tower. The characters Mutt Williams, Irna Spalko and an Ugha Warrior were all included in minifig form, as well as Indy and an unnamed Russian soldier.

In 2009, the 'gap' of having no sets from The Temple of Doom was filled with a The Temple of Doom (7199), which included new narrow Lego train tracks in order to re-create the mine cart chase scene from the second half of the film. Six track piece were included in two shapes, four as curves and two as slopes.
