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

[Buttmunch]

Yeah I'm sure Sideshow will have their own. It would just be nice to have something around the time when Indy first arrives. And I'm sure Arks will fetch quite a price on ebay since most collectors won't be picking up any more figures than the Cario Swordsman. Maybe Mutt, a German, and the Russian Col. But I think most are waiting for Sideshow's stuff.

But if anyone has any extra Ark stickers, I would be more than happy to take them off your hands!

Just a thought Buttmunch, you could always buy the 2 Indy figures and a Mutt or another swordsman for the stickers and sell em to get most if not all of your money back.

Even though I've got the SS on order, I bought the Hasbro Indys to hopefully use the electronics in a custom at some point.

If anyone would want them I would do that. I just don't see many people saying they can't find these and need help with them. Plus I'm not the kind that would buy the figures, steal the stickers, and return them to the store (I know that is not what you were suggesting, but I'm sure its crossed more than one mind). That is just wrong.

You could prolly sell em on ebay a bit below retail, like 3 for $40. That way you get the stickers, and someone else would get a deal. They'd sell not because they're rare but because they'd be cheaper than retail.

Found a couple of Hasbro's deluxe figures today...really like Indy on the horse.

Hope I can find a good 1:6 scale horse for Sideshow's version when it arrives...

 

[Entropy]

That looks cool. I've seen everything in the store except the horse deluxe set.

 

[IrishJedi]

The horse is really well done for a 3.75" scaled toy.

I finally found the horse yesterday at K-Mart. Picked up that along with the truck and a couple more Motorbikes. I'm happy to say my Indy shelf is out of room!

 

[jedibear]

I'm very impressed with what Hasbro is doing with this line so far...
The figures are well sculpted (although I've seen a few with bad paint apps...hmmmm..where have we encountered that before recently? ) and the boxed "relic" accessories are an inspired collectible "gimmick". The packaging is handsome and displays well.

The Hasbro team is on a good roll here. Haven't had this much fun collecting basic action action figures in years.

Here's another angle of Indy and the horse...

 

[IrishJedi]

I actually find the packaging to be rather uninspired, with the exception of the vehicle boxes that have the cool painted artwork on them.

But it doesn't matter since I'm opening them anyway.

The pack-in relics are indeed genius. One of the best things Hasbro has done in years. Been saying that all along.

 

[The Josh]

I don't get too wrapped up in the toy packaging. Though, I do like the way the Indy stuff is done. The pack in relics are very cool and I think I'll display them with my SS 1:6th Indy stuff.

 

[MANDO]

Curious. If the vehicles do well, which I think they are because none of the stores around here can hold on to either for very long, would anyone else want to see the Flying Wing? A minecare and the motorbike with sidecar are must haves as far as deluxe figures go, but a Flying Wing would be awesome!!! Although I don't see Hasbro putting a swastika on anything.

 

[Captain Britain]

Hasbro have already said they're planning a flying wing for next year, in the $19.99 pricepoint.

Got my both Indy figures and Cairo Swordsman 12" figures from Hasbro. Will be getting things ready to mail away for my Ark.

Also got my GG crate today. I got collection #1 which is the Idol and the piece of the wall from the Map Room. Though, I'm having a hell of a time getting the hat and whip to stay on the box.

That's because the magnet that holds them is only on one corner of the box. You just need to find that corner.

(No worries... I had the same problem until I figured it out )

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I got it.

Just must have not tried that corner.

I'm just glad I got the ROTLA stuff.

 

[JediMike71]

Hey Josh. Where did you get your GG Indy crate from? I'd love to get one sometime. Please let me know. Thanks!

 

[The Josh]

I got mine direct from GG. I renewed my PGM membership and got one after they put them up following the NYCC.

 

[IrishJedi]

Indy himself is buying the toys!

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

The guy is Indy and he still has to pay for the toys. No wonder George Lucas is so damn rich.
