To be blunt........those two are it. I've looked all over the net and haven't found anything better. I'm not sure about pre-made color swatches for the legos.....I don't believe there are any of those either. Basically you've got to create the colors from scratch. My "Pitfall Harry" sig was created using a combo of both of those fonts with small and capital letters plus I had to do each letter individually and change the sizes and distort them to get the look I was going for and I came close to the "Indy style" but not exactly like it. The colors were created using the gradient feature and I had to go in and basically create them to get the desired look.

for the colors I suggest you download one of the official pics that have the logo on them and then extract the colors in photoshop with the color picker to recreate the gradient

A little tip when you are using these fonts... Probably you have noticed that some letters looks too "distant" from another or too close, to fix that, put the type cursor between these two letters, and if they are too far, press (and hold) "ALT" key and use the left arrow key to move the following letters to the left (close to the other ones), if the letters are too close, do the same thing, but using the righ arrow key to move the letters to the right...
