Lego Indiana Jones

Lego Indiana Jones is a Lego theme based on the Indiana Jones film series. Sets have been released based on two of the three earlier films (Temple of Doom sets will be released in 2009), and six more sets were released alongside the latest film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", in May 2008.

There was mild controversy surrounding the release of a Lego product line based on the films, partially due to the presence of Nazis as villains in them, and how they would be portrayed as minifigures. This was eventually resolved by the depiction of German soldiers in generic khaki uniforms devoid of any Nazi insignia. Also, the involvement of religious aspects in the plots of the film was a sensitive issue. The Ark of the Covenant is actually depicted in Lego form in "The Lost Tomb" set, however it is replaced by a generic golden treasure chest containing jewels and golden coins in the "Race For the Stolen Treasure" set.

There is also a video game titled "" which was released on June 3, 2008.
