LEGO is no stranger to licensing partnerships, with sets from Star Wars to Spider-Man. Now, Indiana Jones is returning to the LEGO portfolio, with three new releases coming April 1.
The LEGO Indiana Jones Fighter Plane Chase features the plane chase within Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The set comes with three minifigures (Indiana Jones, his father Professor Henry Jones Sr., and a fighter pilot) and 387 pieces. It will retail for $34.99. The LEGO Indiana Jones Escape from the Lost Tomb set is larger at 600 pieces and retails for $39.99. It’s inspired by Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie and comes with four minifigures. The final set of the three is the largest at 1,545 pieces. The LEGO Indiana Jones Temple of the Golden Idol set, also inspired by Lost Ark, is designed for adults and retails for $149.99.
LEGO is targeting both kids and “kidults” with these new set releases. The first two are both designed for kids ages 8 and up, but the final larger set is recommended for ages 18 and up. LEGO, like many companies in the current industry, has continued its efforts to appeal to adults following its Play Well 2022 Report, with a number of set releases and events targeted specifically at that market.
The new sets will release on April 1 and come after a number of existing sets within LEGO Indiana Jones such as Jungle Duel, Temple of the Crystal Skull, and Venice Canal Chase. The most recent LEGO Indiana Jones release prior to this group was released in 2009, so these new sets are going to be a welcome return for any fans waiting for additions.
