  1. The first leak from 10316 was on 02/02/2023 The news channels announced the official announcement from LEGO for the set on 02/06/2023 The official presentation took place on 02/07/2023 So I still have some hope that something will come in the next few days, but I also have serious doubts about it. If the teaser hadn't been in the SmythsToys catalogue inlay, I honestly wouldn't have had any hope at this point
  2. Here someone drew a graphic from the leaked image of the Indiana Jones minifigure (minus the cobwebs) Indiana Jones Minifigure I find it both disturbing and annoying that nothing has been announced yet, simply because of the constant fear, even panic fear at times, that it will come later or not at all.
  3. No problem, that's a common abbreviation. In German, only the abbreviation is different, because the German words have different initial letters than in English, so I didn't recognize them immediately :-) Unfortunately the LEGO Indiana Jones time was in my Dark Ages. So I had to buy the series very expensive a few years ago. But when I read your post, I just felt a bit reminded of the beautiful moment when I built these sets, even as an adult I immediately felt like a child again. That's why I think it's such a pity that not much has been announced so far, I hope that everything will turn out well in the coming hours and days. A dream would also be a big Indiana Jones UCS set in the fall or next year, like now with Lord of the Rings.
  4. Thanks very much. Because I speak German in Austria, I don't know every abbreviations in English
  5. What does "IP" mean? I think so too, which is why I said the teaser in the catalog is the only thing that really gives us hope.Insert other media
  6. Yes, of course we as fans think so. But unfortunately the question is, what Lego thinks. Disney hasn't done anything with the Indiana JOnes license in the last 13 years We'll see, let's be surprised.
  7. The selection of the contents of the sets already confused me a bit in 2008/2009. I associate Indiana Jones with adventure, puzzles, treasure, exotic locations and traps. The 2008/2009 sets were very military, contrary to LEGO ideology. That's why I found it a bit strange that there should only be a new edition of already known sets. Also, I think Indiana Jones is probably less popular or unknown among today's youth than it was in the past. In the last decade characters like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider or Nathan Drake from Uncharted were probably better known. Maybe that's also the reason why the Indiana Jones fan community is really looking forward to the releases, but the topic isn't that popular in society as a whole and LEGO isn't making too much hype about it.
  8. Yes, you are absolutely right. I was already wondering at the time where they got such detailed descriptions of the sets and why they didn't publish any pictures, but probably they weren't allowed to. There may have been a press or fan channel preview at the time. If you think about the time it takes for a LEGO set to go from idea to retail and add the Indiana Jones film delays, it's conceivable that the designs could or should have existed as early 2019.
  9. It is and has been so quiet regarding official statements from LEGO. If the teaser weren't in the SmythsToys catalogue, it could be assumed that a release in April would never have been pIanned at all. The leaked images are said to be a few months old and only recently leaked. Very annoying. Should that actually happen, I'll send hugs from Austria in advance! :-)
  10. About as funny as a broken leg on the first day of vacation,... However, branding the leaks with LEGO would have made little sense...
  11. Essentially, that's exactly what I was getting at. There is nothing official yet. And the teaser in the SmythsToys catalog is also not an official confirmation for me, just marketing by SmythsToys for a partial exclusivity, but not a "promise" that LEGO will launch the series on time in April. SmythsToys certainly has a good relationship with LEGO, so in principle I assume that the series will come, but if that actually happens in April, or later, we don't know. I would say the teaser in the catalog is advertising /marketing and at best a non-binding declaration of intent, but nothing more. It wouldn't be the first time something appears in the catalogue, but then either doesn't appear at all or is published late. Think of the Minions sets being postponed due to the film postponement, which in turn was due to the pandemic.
  12. When I saw Brick Clicker's video yesterday, I was almost a little annoyed for a moment. I'm not sure if it's frustration with the unclear situation, but I'm often stunned by such statements. Even if he ends up being right, how would he know that for sure? If he's right, wasn't it more of a coincidence in the end? As far as I know, there is still no official confirmation from LEGO about this. I already had the impression that there were significantly more and significantly more meaningful leaks to other series and sets, of course I can be wrong, or the impression is strengthened because I am much more deeply involved in this topic than with others
  13. @Legoman123: Rumors have been circulating over the past few days, that Temple of Doom set 77014 has been either delayed or canceled before it was officially announced by LEGO. However, the report could be, or should already be three months old. The info seems to come from just2good. Also, the new Indiana Jones minifigure was leaked. Now there is wild speculation as to whether the Temple of Doom set will actually be canceled or delayed, and whether this could have an impact on the general Indiana Jones wave / series and if so, what the reasons for this could be. That would be roughly the management summary In fact, nothing has been officially confirmed or denied. Even the teaser in the SmythsToys LEGO catalog für the Indiana Jones Series is not an official statement by LEGO. All we have is a post from Promobricks that the Temple of Doom set may be canceled or delayed. Even this message is said to be three months old. However, this can also mean that this message has long since expired. And even if it should be postponed, it is not known why. In addition to speculation about religious or cultural backgrounds, there could also be packaging errors, design errors, adjustments to the packaging, corrections or changes to the box design, the building instructions and much more. It is also a guess that the LEGO series will be officially announced on March 1st, 2023, since it is a month before the alleged release, but that has not really been confirmed either. The only ones that look believable are the leaks of the 3 box pics, as well as the minifigure leak from 77015, and again this pic may have been an early draft, as well as the leak of the entire 77015 set, which also looks like a rough draft. So essentially nothing is really known. I don't want to sugarcoat anything and most of the time the leaks have a kernel of truth, but nothing is known for sure.
  14. The Indiana Jones drawing, in the leaked set images, in the top right corner, looks very similar, like the leaked image of the mini figure. In addition, the hat looks as if it were flexible rubber and not hard plastic. But the picture can be deceiving. In general, I think that there are surprisingly few really meaningful leaks for these sets, considering that theoretically we only have a week until the possible official announcement and there are often sets where you can find high-resolution leak images weeks or months before release for other Lego themes. I think it is very strange and almost alarming that there so few has leaked out about Indiana Jones when you consider the whole context, what happend the last days
  15. Seeing the instructions would be a dream yes, that would answer a lot of questions. Above all, we would need more than that. Lego 77015 The skulls at the front, which are supposed to trigger the traps, could be brick build. 1x2 Technic brick in tan, with two technic pins from behind on a 1x1 round plate in white, on a 1x1 round plate with bar or c-clamp or hinge
  16. In between, a picture for happy anticipation Same here, 3 of the 4 pages are not found
  17. I would have briefly considered the possibility of the double-printed head, but it seems to me that the hairpiece doesn't go down far enough to cover the cobwebs if you turn your head, or am I wrong? But of course one could still hope for that. Or the option to include a replacement / alternative head, which is also occasionally the case in LEGO City and Lego Friends sets, but less so in licensed sets. But the option would be possible
  18. Sry, i only wanted to provide this information, i hope it is fake. If there would be such a GWP, i hope it will be released If the leak of the character is actually real, I would have hoped for something else as well. Since this is a display set, I could understand wanting to recreate a scene, but of course a character that's a little more generic would be nice if you're going to use it elsewhere. In general, this situation makes me, like many others here, extremely nervous. I really like LEGO and I especially like Indiana Jones. I've been waiting for years for Indiana Jones to finally be re-released. Above all, the postponement of the film and the resulting renewed postponement of the Lego theme was a hard blow. Now I update all pages every hour, since many weeks, to finally find out whether LEGO Indiana Jones is finally coming back and just before the announcement is ready there would be lots of negative leaks and news. I hope that in the end everything is just unnecessary fuss and that everything will be released as planned. I found it sad that only 4 sets should appear in the first wave. Now maybe only 3 and one of them with a display figure,... Hopefully the whole thing doesn't fail completely in general. That would be a hard blow Here in Austria I've had the SmythsToys catalog with the inlay with the announcement and the teaser for the Indiana Jones wave for weeks at home and I'm happy. It would be a real shame if all of that failed.
  19. An alleged leak was posted on Instagram at notquiteright_lego_leaks2022 stating that GWP 40588 Jock's Plane was also canceled and LEGO said they managed to cancel that this time before it was leaked Lego 40588 - Indiana Jones - GWP
