Wow... that plane is beautiful

It looks like they changed up the color scheme a little bit, but i like it. I hope that it uses printed parts instead of those dreaded stickers, but I have a bad feeling that it will. . I can always use that six pack torso for a bruce wane minifig, though. Does anyone know why Marion is holding a torch with no flame?

They flying wing is alright. I wish it was all gray. However, the windshield pieces will work well in old fashioned submarines like the Nautilus and the green stickers will look good on large military MOCs.
I love everything about the chase set.

Were these photos found in a European Target? They aren't on the American website...

Does that mean Europe already has them and America will have to wait?

There are no Target stores in Europe as far as I'm concerned. The only Target stores in the world are found either in Australia or the USA. Maybe they took the pics down a week after they were put up. They were found on the American Target website, since they have online shopping.

Ahhh! Now those are some fine looking sets! I like the dark green color scheme on the Flying Wing, even though it looked very good in all-grey too, and the redesigns of the new characters (Willie, Short Round, and half-naked German Guy). I'm a little disappointed that we wont get a Doc Ock head with the chase set since I really liked the Doc Ock minifig, but missed out on those. But I guess it's always better to get new faces, especially on fleshie heads.
If only we had some green Eta 2 wings, then we could create a green Jedi starfighter/interceptor! Oh well, maybe we can work something out with stickers...
I'll definitely try to get at least one of these sets, but Idk yet, since I will already have trouble financing all the new CW sets.

You mean a dirty carrot? I'm surprised they didn't go with yellow cheese wedges strung together, as she actually knocks out the pilot with the tire blocks.

Well, in the movie the top surface of the Wing was green, and the bottom was a tan color. Guess this is their "middle ground".

I'm less impressed with the Wing than I thought I would be. The Wing is my second favorite Indy vehicle (after the desert truck, which we have already), and I guess I had high expectations for it. The Mechanic definitely looks better than the prelim figure. Yeah, I used the Patrick torso for my custom figure, but would have much rather been able to use Bane's torso without the overalls. Looks like that's what we're getting.

I'll still get the set, but it's not the best I've seen.

Hey, the German mechanic has the same head as...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I like that, new mustache colour. And everything else in those 2 sets. 2009 is gonna be a good year for me

Am I the only one who likes the fuel truck?

Zomg. I want those ganster torsos.

[timbutnice]

I'm in the 'liked the orginal flying wing colour scheme and fuel truck design' camp.

Love the mechanic torso though and Indy's tux

Very nice! The plane looks beautiful, but the truck is a disappointment. oh well. The mechanic looks amazing!

[Cyclone Titan]

Wow. I never thought the plane would be that beautiful, and with a new fleshie torso, instead of Patrick, I am one happy man.

Thanks for the new pics. My opinions are pretty much the same as before, but it's great to see the new details! I like these sets, but the Chase is by far my favorite. It's a superb set for town and Indy fans. I was disapointed to notice that the gansters now have revolvers instead of the Batmans style guns, but the coolness of the the new figs and their great suited torsos outweighs this.

TLG seems to be unsure what kind of weapons they want to include in the Indy line. I hope they settle on the Batman style (and newer indy pistol variant), but I think they may well go back to the traditional even-less-realistic revolver and rifle designs.

Also, as a general observation, I am glad to see that TLG is continuing the habit of being generous with minifigs in the Indy line.

I need to say that this new pics really change my opinion on these sets . The Shangai Chase is cool looking and the minifigs on it are just superb so is a very good set. Now, the Flying Wing in another hand changed its look and now it looks cool but not totally awesome. The plane is build of so many juniorized pieces thatr basically build the whole shape of the plane with just 10 pieces??? Come on TLC I know you can do better than this . The colors look great and the minifigs are well just OK in my opinion.

[wulf]

Wow these are fantastic! I can't wait those cars will be perfect for the city and that plane looks great!

[Joey Lock]

Why would you woodland camouflage a plane in the Desert?
And how would you be able to see through the Leaf in the screen?

The rest is brilliant!

2009 is looking gooood!
