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

[DarthNeil]

Apparently.

Back on topic... is anyone planning on making a "toy run" after Midnight tonight?

Thanks for getting the train back on the tracks.

Boredom was setting in with the endless repetition.

I'm going to check out my Wally-World on the US side of the border maybe later today to see if there's anything early. I'll need to see these in hand to see if they're worth it--- but for roughly $5 a pop and with the possibility of good 1/4 and 1/6 items I think I'll have to bite the bullet although I originally just intended to maybe pick up a couple of the Indys.

I'm tempted. I hadn't planned on buying any of the action figures, but curiosity is getting the better of me. I just got paid too. That's always a dangerous thing.

I think I'll hit a Wal-Mart tonight and then leave work tomorrow morning around 8:30 or so and hit Toys R Us and Target.

However, I'm hearing that Target may not actually put anything out until Sunday (5/4), which is their official reset and when they will have new print ads.

Nothing around here will be open. But I will hit TRU and Target as soon as they open in the morning.

My German Soldier 12" is being processed by BBTS.

Just came from Target and they have everything out. Of course by the time I got there it had already been picked through.

What was left?

I opened ALL of them. No redemption form in any of the eight RAIDERS figures.

Must be in one of the KOTCS figs (which also come out Thursday).

The redemption form was in every ROTLA figure I got here in the UK yesterday, and the stickers were inside the relic boxes.

 

[SSC_Nerd]

Well, I went to Toys R Us when they opened, and got the few figures I wanted. Hey, can we assume the Mighty Muggs figures aren't coming out today? No one had them, and hell, they're not even on ebay.

 

[thedarkknight]

Today, I picked up the twelve inch Whip Action Indy. Very cool. Except for the limp wrist. I know it's how they made the whip thing work, but it makes Dr. Jones a little swishy.

Also, I picked up Marion and Belloq to go with the Raiders Indy I got off eBay for very cheap.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, I'm guessing the Mighty Muggs aren't out yet. Boo!!!!!

I don't think the Mighty Muggs come out until June.

I caved on the action figures. I knew I would. I bought Raiders Indy and the Indy w/Ark 2-pack. I might get the entire Raiders line eventually, but for now I'm only interested in Indy himself.

 

[The Josh]

I'm hoping the rest of my stuff from BBTS ships today. If not I might see what I can find in stores and cancel what hasn't shipped yet.

 

[SSC_Nerd]

Do you think any of the figures are going to be more rare or hard to get than the others. Personally, the one I see being the more in demand one would be Indy holding the Crystal Skull, sine it's the MacGuffin of the movie. I picked up three total. I picked up that Indy with the skull, Raiders Indy (not whip action), and Belloq. They really were the only ones I had interest in, but I might try to get Irina one of these days too.

EDIT: So, I'm seriously regretting not getting the one Irina figure I saw since I finally remembered the relic she has is the Crystal Skull. Crap.

 

[choopie]

I considered Belloq. He's such a great character. But I would prefer a figure of him in the outfit at the beginning of the film and not in the ceremonial robes, so I passed. I considered KOTCS Indy, but I want to see the film first before committing to spending money on the action figures.

I can't wait until Hasbro releases a TOD wave.

That's the wave I'm looking forward to as well. I like Mola Ram too much.

 

[MaulFan]

None of my local stores even have Indy out yet or a place for this stuff.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I stopped by Wal-Mart this morning and no Indy stuff. Damn hick town.

 

[dwing]

I went to Target and they said they not putting anything out but the 12" figs. Won't even have the 3.75". Walmart had quiet a bit. Bought 10 figs(for the kids) and kept the relics for me. Also bought 4 12" again for the kids and will be getting the ark.

 

[Buttmunch]

Saw these today at Target and TRU, but passed. I will probably get Raiders and Skull Indy at least on Monday when I can get them for $2 after I use my $5 off coupon with my Batman purchases. Might get a few more after that though.

If anyone has any extra redemption forms/stickers, please let me know. I would like to get the 3 3/4 mail away, but I'm not sure I'll be buying 6 (sad I know, but money is tight and Sideshow's are better). Also, if any of you aren't planning on using the 12" figure's stickers and forms for the Ark, I would like those too since I'll probably only pick up the Swordsman.
