Hey, sweet!! Thanks for the tip!

Here's the latest rumor, including some of the older ones we've heard about and the removal of another (the Graveyard Duel). So take this with a grain of salt.
7195 - Egyptian Bazaar
7196 - Mutt Chase
7197 - Venice Race
7198 - Plane Race
7199 - Temple of Doom
Holy smokes!
Part of me is disappointed about the removal of
any planned set, but if one had to go, I'm glad it's the Graveyard set; that would probably be the easiest one to satisfyingly represent with one's personal creation, sans any "official" minifigs specific to the scene - one can probably easily create perfectly compelling "cemetery warriors" by just using regular minifig elements with torsos and legs in the appropriate colors, one of the regular
skull minifig
heads for the heads, and the
tousled hair element (like Satipo's, Harry Potter's, etc.) on top; I'd guess that's how they'd do those minifigs anyway. Indy and Mutt would be the same figs already abundant in other sets, no doubt.
(Not that it'd keep me from buying the set if they do go ahead and do it anyway, of course! Perhaps it'll be set # 7194?

I've REALLY been wanting a set based on the Marshall College chase. Hopefully we'll get a new build for Mutt's cycle instead of a rehash of the Motorcycle Chase style.
What I'd really like to see would be the return of
this old motorcycle element, which is more appropriately "vintage" for the Indy line than the current design of
this piece on a separate chassis, which debuted in an Indy set but which appears designed more for general use in various LEGO City, etc. sets to come over the next many years (which would naturally have more use for more modern-looking bikes than old ones) than it is for a set depicting action in the 1930s or '50s. The older bike naturally reflected older bikes in the real world, and I think it would be great, but LEGO seems to have completely discontined the element around 1999. I'll have to scrounge up some old sets to get some for use in my own Indy LEGO creations.

As far as the Egyptian Bazaar goes, I'm guessing this might be a smaller set. Maybe a jacket-free Indy, Marion, swordsmen, and a fruit stand. This could also be a big set with the Monkey Man, Belloq, and Sallah. We'll just have to wait until we get some pictures.

Given the set numbering, I'd imagine it would be a small set. Typically, when LEGO releases a bunch of new sets in a theme together, the set numbers will go from the lowest number for the smallest set up to the highest number for the largest set.

I'm thinking the TOD set will be big, around the $100 range.
Man, I hope so! I have had a hard time spending a lot on the Legos because I really do feel like they are WAY overpriced, but I would definitely spend around that much for a really big, complete-feeling Temple of Kali.
Based upon the set numbers Dewy9 gave and what I said about it, I think you're going to get your wish (and mine, too!).
