Update (April 3): Now that the sets are available, we’ve added more links to retailers that have them in stock. They’re releasing just in time for the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth installment in the Indiana Jones series and presumably Harrison Ford’s final turn at the character. The “Escape from the Lost Tomb” and the other Indiana Jones-themed Lego sets kick off a big year for the franchise. In 1998, the Lego Group introduced the “ Adventurers” Lego theme, a series of playsets which centered in and around the adventures of a fedora-toting archaeologist named Johnny Thunder - a character with obvious parallels to Harrison Ford’s iconic character. The connection between Spielberg’s iconic action adventure series and the Denmark-based toy brand goes back even further than that though. A sequel, Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, was released in 2009, based on 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. The same year saw the release of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, a third-person video game featuring interactive Lego-theme recreations of the first three Indiana Jones films (1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). The first officially licensed Indiana Jones-themed Lego set was introduced in 2008, tied to the release of 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and discontinued that following year.
