In excitement for the new Indy movie I’ve bumped Raiders of the Lost Ark to number one on the all time list. Raiders never gets old, never ages, never wears out its welcome. It has always been a spectacularly entertaining movie and I will always love it. (The rest of my list may change, but Raiders will always be in the top three.)

To say I am giddy as a schoolgirl about the upcoming Indy movie would be a tremendous understatement. I’m a gaggle of giddy schoolgirls, twittering every time I see a new poster. So keep that in mind as I gush rapturously over a couple of upcoming Lego Indiana Jones products.

Lucasarts, that crazy video game company owned by George Lucas (go figure) can make some really bad, lets make money quick, games (see most of the Star Wars video games.) They’ve also churned out some of the best games of all time (Sam ‘n Max Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis etc.) The Lego Star Wars games are fun, cute and easy; in what other game is dying actually kinda fun?

With a new Indiana Jones movie on May 22nd 2008 (early in the morning, I’m sure, like midnight...) Lucasarts is releasing… Lego Indiana Jones! Woot!

Also, some scans of the upcoming Indiana Jones Lego sets were released. WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! This may give away key plot points!

Click through to see.

I’ll leave the descriptions to Gizmodo (as you can see from the watermark the pictures came from there) so click through if you want to read them. (And while you’re at it click on some of their advertising for kicks, or maybe watch the clever Apple spot on the homepage.)

Indy sword fights with Cate Blanchett! Seriously can you think of anyone you’d rather see than Cate in an Indy movie? Outside of Marion? Okay and Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones’ brother (how cool the irony!) Other than that, Cate Blanchett!

Cool CCCP vehicle floats down river while Indy fights bad Ruski’s.

Ants… spiders are creepier, but gotta move on, I guess.

Mayan/Aztec/Incan? temple. Supposedly in Peru so Incan, but looks Mayan. Go historical accuracy.

Oh, and ultimate maybe spoiler. After denying reports that Shia plays Indy’s son (via Marion) Spielberg and co. are avoiding the subject. Makes sense to me, after all, what would commitment phobic Indy do but leave Marion with a bundle of joy he doesn’t know about…

“I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it!”

“You knew what you were doing.”

Indy’s such a bastard :-D

PS You may not have noticed, but I’ve added a subtle countdown banner to the top of the site.
