New Lego set pictures for Summer '09

Firstly, I'd like to thank Doctor Sinister for posting pictures of his new pre-release TRU set here on Brickspace, and I hope he'll do the same for the next batch he got from 'TRU' (aka his illegal Lego dealer), including the amazing Elsa hair in the Danish hippie camper-van.

But, enough of that. I've got some great new pics of the soon-to-be-released Star Wars and Indy sets...


The graveyard scene of KotCS, including a great looking bike and what seems to be minifig-sized tubing! Hoorah! Tubing can be purist again! This set also includes minifigs in one of many new fleshie skin colours.
There's some bright colours and minifigs galore in this small set from RotLA.
Including many black telescope pieces, this set from The Last Crusade is one of the least liked sets of the whole bunch, due to the fact neither aeroplane has doors and it's also very expensive (30$ or so)
There's nothing better than a good fez or two, and there's two in this Venice set from The Last Crusade, along with some grim-faced minifigs and that Elsa hair (this time on Elsa).
There's a new Clone Wars skiff set with some ugly-looking minifigs (that garish Obi-Wan included).
And there's an exciting Mon Calamari 1 base set, marking the 10th anniversary of Lego Star Wars. It includes a host of great minifigs from Lando Calrissian to Mon Mothma to an A-Wing pilot and even to Admiral Ackbar and his Ackbar-like friend. All together now, "It's a trap!"
And finally there's the 'Midi-scale' Milennium Falcon, which is really what they should have done in the first place instead of all these huge (in cost as well as size) sets and UCSs.

So, that's it, enjoy!
