Weird Wii Indiana Jones Kit

Looking for a weird Wii-mote container? Forget your Mario Kart wheel, D&D sword and shield and all the sports accessories for Wii sports. Here are the tools of choice of Dr. Jones in their most unexpected appearance yet. With this set you not only get the un-whippiest whip ever but also a shovel that might work for cat-litter.

Adorable one coin figure shots

A nice to have for Indy toy collectors are the Japanese Kotobukiya one coin mini figures from their Indiana Jones collection (released June 2008). You could buy those for 500 Yen (= one coin) per sealed box with a random figure. The set contains eight figures: six regular ones and two secret ones.

They are really nice made, affordable even with a small budget and still available on ebay etc. The reason I am bringing those up today is some nice artwork I stumbled over. A creative flickr user named j_pidgeon made some great photos by placing the figures in from of fitting backgrounds.

j_pidgeon does feature the whole set on his flickr-stream:
RotLA Marion Ravenwood, ToD Indiana Jones, ToD Mola Ram, LC Indiana Jones, LC Dr Henry Jones Sr, KotCS Irina Spalko, KotCS Mutt Williams and the infamous Han_Solo. Enjoy!

LEGO Indy 2009

Hurray, I finally got my collection of regular LEGO sets from 2008 together. Guess I will have some LEGO puzzling to do this xmas :-)

Need an overview for all available sets? > QuickGuide: LEGO
Let's take an outlook for future LEGO sets coming in 2009. So far I saw pictures of two new sets coming early 2009:

LEGO set 7683 Fight on the Flying Wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark

LEGO set 7682 Shanghai Chase from Temple of Doom

LEGO BrickMaster Exclusive

Long time, no post. But I am back with interesting and odd info on Indy goodies.

One of the harder to get LEGO sets this year is the BrickMaster Jungle Cruiser exclusive set 20004 featuring Indy in a Jeep.

If you don't have access to those exclusive sets there is another way to get this gem into your collection: Shop the 83 pieces separately and build your own! Here is a good post with a part list and and rather good plans (mostly in German but the parts list is in English): http://www.1000steine.com/forum2/forum_entry.php?id=159773

time for a Burger King

I finally found time to hit a Burger King (on my way to watch [REC], a new Spanish horror film). Got some luck, they still had all eight toys available. I got them a all at once, better save than sorry.
