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

[The Josh]

Yeah, I wasn't real clear on that one.

It was! I waited till the end of the day on Saturday to get my stuff from them. Since you had to go stand in 2 lines to get your stuff. Good idea! Hopefully its just one line this year.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, if I recall you had to wait in a long line to get a colored ticket to come back at a pre-determined time to stand in the main line at Hasbro.

I have no choice this year. They have several exclusives that I want.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, thats exactly what you had to do. Which was just insane and why I waited so long to get my stuff.

I'm with you they've got at least 5-6 things I want.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yep. And thanks to your kewl thread I have an evil checklist to remind me.

BTW, I made a very cool Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for SDCC last year that helped me immensely. If folks are interested, I'll make 'em for Freaks this year.

 

[The Josh]

Thnx!! I stole the idea from you though with your Indy thread. I've had a lot of fun tracking this stuff down using all the sites that might post info first.

Sure I'd take one. Thnx!! I'll put it in my notebook that I bring with me to keep track of things.

Yeah, that's what I did.

I put seven tabs (pages) on it:

1. ITINERARY: Daily SDCC schedule with the events I'd like to (try to) attend

2. EXCLUSIVES: Checklist of the exclusives I want, broken down by company (includes $$ total for budgeting)

3. EXHIBITORS: List of notable exhibitors in the main hall, with booth numbers.

4. ARTISTS: List of notable artists in Artists Alley

5. AUTOGRAPHS: List of potential autograph celebs

6. BUDGET: Self-explanatory

7. PACKING LIST: Can't forget anything!

Yeah, I'm not a project manager or anything.

 

[The Josh]

Damn! I like it. I feel ya though I do the same thing but you have to as a teacher or the kids would run the class. Becoming a teacher has really taught me organization.

Do you have my email?

Yup, I'm getting all those as well though the MLP is for a friend of mines daughter.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, I got the MLP last year for my 7 year old daughter so I think it's an obligation now.

My 14 year old likes SUPERNATURAL, so I gotta try to get one of those busts for her.

If I can, I'll get a 2nd Commander Gree Mighty Mugg for my son (or give him mine).

 

[The Josh]

I wonder if I can get SWS to give me four extra SW exclusives this year.

 

[IrishJedi]

Oh yeah, I remember that! You came back with a whole case of R2-KTs for the price for 4.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, that was pretty sweet! I'm not gonna lie I got out of there as quickly as I could.

 

[Bardoon]

Anyone else get any real whips to crack around with?

I'm interested in hearing your stories.

 

[icruise]

I found the first wave of Indy Mighty Muggs at Toys R Us today (first time seeing them anywhere) so I bought them. I had them on order at BBTS, but it worked out a dollar or two cheaper to buy them in the store, and I can just cancel my BBTS order for credit.

They're very nice. My only complaint would be that Indy's hat seems like it should be bigger.

As you can see, I'm running out of room for Mighty Muggs. These shelves will eventually be dedicated entirely to VCDs, but I don't have enough at the moment to do that.

 

[The Josh]

Very nice IC! I may have to try and pick the Cody one up.

 

[The Ringer]

Nice setup ICruise!


Those make a very clean display.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Yeah man those Muggs look great, although I am curious as to what your Kubrick collection looks like. Do you have a collection thread of your own? Also to remain on topic I found Mola Ram yesterday at TRU and he is awesome! Hard to pass on the Cairo Swordsman (for now) Indy is a bit lacking in the cool department. He's no Lando Mugg.

 

[icruise]

I've been meaning to make a collection thread for some time, but my display changes quite frequently, and my office is generally not clean enough to take pictures, so I've been putting it off. I do have a thread about my Kubricks over on JediDefender.com though. Basically, they're on a shelf above my desk to the right of my VCDs and Mighty Muggs.

 

[CelticPredator]

OMFG! That Mola makes me giggle!
