Wow what a stash, Barbossa. I hope you're taking advantage of the deal at Toys'r'Us this week: buy 2 indiana jones figures get 1 free.

I need to get that german cargo truck too!

Let me know if you need help with it. I have seen it several times in the last week or so.

Haha, only if you see it at Target!


Here's some new toys I got:

CHUKI! It literally is the first car I've got in a LONG time. If Mattel doesn't step it up, my interest will start to fade.





And then we have Indiana Jones with Horse (great buy for $10! a standard indiana jones figure is $7!!!)







And from Last Crusade, German Soldier with motorcycle! Again, what a buy for $10. I might have to get another one!





That's all for now! I'm not opening ANY of the kingdom of the crystal skull stuff until I see the movie thursday night.

[Melonballer]

Hmmmm. I take it the truck is $25.

I agree with you about the Cars. Nothing has been coming in lately. I think that the stores are busy ordering stuff from this summer's movies like Hulk and Indiana Jones toys. Hopefully they will start to get more out soon.

The truck is actually $20. Sent you a PM with details.

[Melonballer]

Got the PM and added it to the list.

I checked our Toys R Us and we don't got the deal here in Canada which sucks.

I'm thinking of getting another Cargo Truck to modify it to the way it looks like in Disneyland, with Lost Delta Archeological Expedition logo on the side doors, a cloth canopy, and some weathering. Pic of Disneyland's truck.

The only ones I need from the first wave are:
Marion and Cairo Henchman
Two-pack German Soldiers (Edited: I found the German Soldier two-pack)
German Soldier with Motorcycle
Indiana Jones with Ark
Troop Car

There's Last Crusade toys listed on Hasbro's website but I haven't seen any of them on store shelves yet. They hae some neat relics with them. i'm contemplating getting some 12" figures because I want to get the mail-in ark, but they aree expensive at $30 each. I've got enough stickers to get three Crystal Skeletons with thrones for the 3.75 inch mail-in offer.

I'm heading out to raid Burger King, pick up the soundtrack, and get my ticket for the midnight show tomorrow!

Edited to add: build your own Ark crate for the 3.75 inch figure line! Here's the link:

I bought some Nazi vehicles today:

Troop Car and German Soldier on Motorcycle:




The only ones I need from the first wave are:
Marion and Cairo Henchman
Indiana Jones and Ark

I really want the Ark set but no stores around here have it. I hope they come out with some airplane vehicles like Jock's floatplane and a Messerschmitt.

[Coheteboy]

Awesome Barbossa! I got some indy pics too! And thanks to Melonballer who sent me the Cargo Truck in no time at all! (he also sent me a ton of joes but in due time)







Not much room in the back!









to be continued!

Look forward to seeing the Joes. Pins too. Do you need the Troop car?

Nope! Don't need the troop car. I think that's just too excessive since I'd need like two of them and also the fancier car that Belloq is riding... only they won't make it.

LOL. Now you know they will make it. Afterall, they used to say that they would never make the AT-TE and look what is coming soon.

I went onto Hasbro's website and they revealed the exclusive mail-in figure, The Crystal Skeleton on throne. I got enough stickers to get three now. Here's the page:

the horse one looks weird. looks like one of those 3+ figures
but the ark looks cool

[Coheteboy]

Disneyfan28, the Indy on Horse exclusive IS for the ages 3+ crowd. There are different promotions for the different types of figures.

Would you believe me if I said 'Disneyland'? It's true. A few years ago Disneyland (and disney world) had exclusive action figures that were a tad larger than hasbro's. There was an awful german soldier figure that I bought but it came with the crate... with the full on nazi symbol on it! I was stoked. I stored the horrible figure away but kept the crate around for maybe four years, just hoping for better figures to come.


And here are some newer figures I opened up from the Crystal Skull variety. After seeing the movie I kinda didn't want them anymore but I decided to open them anyway.

"Don't touch anything."



The bazooka below came with the Indy w/o Jacket.



Irina has trouble standing. I don't like her figure.



A good reason to get the Cemetary Warrior! Too bad his mask doesn't come off.






And now, back to the Desert Chase!
