Is anyone here collecting this line?
I bought a "Deluxe" Indy w/ horse & German soldier w/ motorcycle this morning.
Some of the figures don't have very good face sculpts, but I still think there is a lot of potential with these.

Picked up Indy this morning and really like the figure. Only gripe so far is that he can not hold his weapons very well.

I found some today, but not the german w/cycle I'm after. ...And they do look a little unfinished next to my 1:18 scale Ultimate Soldier WW2 Germans. Oh well, time to pull out the paints and brushes.

I think, for a couple bucks less, the Ultimate Soldier Germans look much better: a much better choice if you want Indy cornered by lots o'nazis. But I still want the Indy German w/motorcycle, and a posse of Russian soldiers.

I have picked up a few of the Raiders line but I am avoiding the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull figures. I am looking forward to seeing some more playsets for this line

I only bought the Raiders stuff at first,but the Indy bug bit me and I have almost all of the single carded figures. So far,it does appear the long term collectibility of the 4 inch figures are in question. If more series follow,I bet they will be made in less quantity. I do think the 4 inch scale vehicles may have appreciation potential,as they don't seem to be flooding the market with those so far.

This line has its ups and downs. It is hard to resist getting these. I had most of the originals growing up. I have picked up a few. I am looking forward to the Last Crusade figures. Hopefully they will have fixed the paint ops problem alot of these figures have.

Thanks ghouldrool and genesis! I had no idea new ones were already on their way! I will have to sift through the figures until I find that rare piece....with a decent paint job. I am excited,although TLC is the one Indy movie I haven't actually seen yet.

I see the new figures also come with a hidden relic. I assume there is a mail-in figure with those,is it the Crystal Skeleton still or a different figure? Odd though,I just bought the latest issues of ToyFare and Lee's,and I didn't notice any articles about new Indy figures,although I haven't been able to read them yet.

I just picked up raiders jones, marion & belloq and they were almost half off at FYE in US. are they already on discount? These were originally marked $12.99 each, but I got marion & belloq for &7.99 and indy for $9.99. They only came out about three weeks ago. Right?

I do think the 4 inch scale vehicles may have appreciation potential,as they don't seem to be flooding the market with those so far. Well,the past week has proved me wrong as far as what I said about the Indy vehicles,because I have seen a greater number of those in my area. I wouldn't be surprised to see them eventually on clearance at Target stores. I must say it seems either the actual release of the movie jump started the sales of the figures,or the stores did something with them because I have noticed there aren't quite the flooding numbers of them on the pegs around here,although there still doesn't seem to be any one figure harder to find than any other at present.

I saw them at our local Kaybee for 5.99 for the regular. They had a reduced sticker on them. I guess they aren't doing as well as the company hoped.

I poked around and I found some online articles talking about more figures into 2009. I saw pics of most of the TOD assortment,plus a deluxe Mutt on his motorcycle,a 2 pack of the Cairo Henhmen that are like the one in with Marion Ravenwood from ROTLA currently,plus a second Cargo Truck with a cloth canopy. I guess the line is doing at least well enough.

I recently purchased the Grail Knight and he had his little relic piece inside the little cardboard box that come with the figures but the redemption sticker for the Crystal Skeleton figure wasn't present. I think it was a Hasbro goof,I don't think it was taken after it got to the store. The Skeleton figure isn't going for THAT much right now .

If anyone is still collecting these wal mart is apparently clearing these out at 3.95 or something, I picked up a whole bunch of Last crusade and Temple of doom figures today.

Unless the promotion was extended by Hasbro, I believe November 31 was the last day the redemption stickers would have been any good. I had gotten three of the redemption figure and had another booklet with 6 stickers ready to go but the offer expired.

I wish I could get to a Wal-Mart and see if they had any of the Temple Of Doom figures around here. I wouldn't mind grabbing them at $3.95 a piece. Shoddy paint jobs has seemed to plague this line so far. I don't think Hasbro is giviing this line 100% because they probably knew there would never be the market for it that there is for the evergreens in their stable, like Star Wars and Transformers. Indiana Jones is probably just more of a "flanker" brand to the more popular lines. I have heard that they were planning more figures next year, such as Toht, but I'm not convinced the line is going to make it.

I finally was able to get to a Wal-Mart in my area and the figures were still the slightly reduced price of $5.44. I was fortunate enough to have the money to buy a Willie Scott from Temple Of Doom that I found at a Dillons of all places. She was $6.99 but I figured I better get her while I can. This was the first Temple figure I had seen around my area but I haven't been getting out much.

I had gotten three of the redemption figure and had another booklet with 6 stickers ready to go but the offer expired. I opened up my Willie Scott last night and the packaging revealed that Hasbro has extended the offer for the Crystal Skeleton figure. The booklets must be postmarked no later than January 1,2009 and received no later than January 8,2009. I am going to send in my fourth booklet, I figured since I spent the money I might as well use up all the redemption stickers I have.

I recently finally found the complete set of The Last Crusade figures but still have yet to find even one of the Temple of Doom series. Man I hope I can get this set before they are gone from retail!

Yep, it is not too bad looking of a vehicle. Apparently all of the walmarts have the vehicles on clearance for 5.00 but I was only able to find the jungle cutter, still trying to pick up a couple of the troop carrier and cargo truck for that price.
