The Indy Acquisitions ("Look What I Found") Thread

[IrishJedi]

i found mine in kennesaw on barrett parkway. i had stopped at that tru the day the were released and the had already been picked thru pretty heavily. i stopped today on the off chance they might have some more stuff and they had re-stocked the deluxe figures.

Holy crap! What time? That's like 10 minutes from me. You think they have any left by now?

My two Raiders 3 3/4 Indy figures made it today. Got them late last week on ebay.

lright, angry Orc, I just left the Town Center TRU. All they had was Temple Dlx Indy. However, I checked with the manager who was actually very cool and got the only other case out of the back for me, so now I have the Horse & Motorcycle sets and I am DONE toy-hunting until later this Summer.

Thanks for the heads-up, dude!

didn't bother to see if anyone else posted this ,but blockbuster has Indiana Jones pictures that are pretty decent looking. i just picked one up earlier that has Indy in a pose that resembles the classic one that the PF has.

I picked up the Cemetery Warrior at Target last night, simply because he is the coolest-looking figure so far out of the entire lot. I'm also going to get Sallah at some point as I figured this will probably be the only Sallah we are going to get from the line.

I had no intentions of buying any more figures until the next wave ships, but I see them hanging on the pegs and it's so hard not to cave.

The Cemetery Warrior is indeed cool. After reading the back of the card, though, I think I might have to get 2 more.

My figures from Indy shop have shipped and will be Saturday.

I actually thought about this too after reading the back of the package.

Anyway, my Ultimate Guide has shipped fro, IJS!!!!

 

[IrishJedi]

The thing is, I've been opening up the figures and throwing away the packaging as soon as I get home with them, and I never even read any of the descriptions on the back (for fear of spoilers). But when I was at Wal-Mart the other day I thought, "What the hell" and read the description on the cemetery warrior card only to find out that there are three of the dudes in the flick.

If anyone has time to do this, I'd really appreciate a piece of info and a photograph. The info is this: can anyone tell me if the deluxe Temple Trap Indy headculpt fits on any other Indy body? It's by far the best headsculpt (or paint job) I've seen but I want better articulation. I thought I'd ask before I buy it.

Secondly, can anyone post a photo of the Convoy truck and the jeep which shows the size difference between them? I want to buy the jeep, but I would hate to buy it and find that it's too big to really look cool.

If anyone can help, thank you!

Found half of wave 2 today before our dr. appointment and got the rest just now across the border at the US Wally-world (FINALLY PUT OUT). They had none of the 1/6 so I'll wait on that but I did get the convoy truck and the jeep... and I got the jeep for FREE.

I love incompetence sometimes. The cashier, who was talking on the phone, over to another cashier, and generally not paying attention, never rung up the jeep but still slid it over the magnetic strip and put it in a bag for me. I did not notice until I was out the door and in my vehicle.

Hello all, I stopped by a second Blockbuster and found the dvd case. $49.00 so I went ahead and bought it. Here's some pics. 1/4 scale?

That case looks great "dwing"! Is it all one piece? I guess it's to hold the new "re-released" Indy DVDs coming out on the 13th this month?

Three pieces. The box has two sets of pegs to which the whip and hat sit on. Right now we are watching TLC and it's sitting in front of the tv. Funny thing is I came home today and heard one of my kids start to hum the theme and then the other two started to do the same so I had three kids in different rooms humming together. It was great.

The local Wally finally put out their Indy stuff, so I snagged a few of the small figures. I was getting them mainly for the relics, but the figures themselves turned out to be cooler than I thought. They look a damn sight better in person than in the pics I've seen. I'll definitely be getting a few more of them.

 

[JediMike71]

Wow, that's great! My little girl who is 8, knows that I LOVE Indy, but she hasn't started humming the theme song...yet.

they were humming your new theme song, so everytime you come home from now on your gonna hear it.

I did pick up another Indy w/Ark 2 pack, was gonna get Monkey Man and Shalla but decided against it since they were $8.99 apiece at Meijers.

Wow, that's great! Is this only at Blockbuster??

 

[dwing]

Yes, I believe. Blockbuster site shows tshirts,pictures,glasses(bought those too),hat(though the felt hats shows are not even close to the crap in the store).
