Toy Fair 2008 kicked off today at the Javits Center, in midtown Manhattan, showcasing everything from little ponies, to giant robots, to punk rock-themed board games. I hate to play favorites, but I'd be lying if I said that Lego and Indiana Jones didn't hold a special place in my heart.

I've got a lot more cool stuff to show you from the convention's first day, but I couldn't resist getting up a post about Lego's new line of Indiana Jones playsets ASAP. The sets follow our hero through the original trilogy and onto to this year's long-awaited Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The sets from the classic films are available now. The ones that tie in with the forthcoming installment will drop closer to the movie's release date, which is set to hit theaters in May.

More images and a video, after the jump, and stay tuned, because there's plenty more Toy Fair coverage to come on Gearlog, including lots more from the awesome Lego booth.
