I haven't seen any yet. If I find Indy with the Ark I am snatching the sucker up in a second!

I saw the Indy/Ark on day one, but not since. I still haven't found the Indy & Horse or the Convoy truck [there are shelf tags for the truck, but it's sold out apparently]!

Indy with ark is pretty cool. The only innacurate thing about the pack is the lack of polls on the ark. Doesn't detract from it though

Wow, no poles? How are the Nazis supposed to carry it across my counter only the be stopped by Indy wielding a rocket launcher from atop my refrigerator then???
Seriously, I hadn't even noticed. Mine is still in the package, so maybe they're tucked away in there somewhere [or have you opened yours already?].

I picked up a KotCS Indy figure I thought looked decently like Harrison. I agree with whoever said it was"hit or miss" with the likeness, I got the Mutt figure with sword and jacket. It's a good likeness to Shia.

Well Hasbro already dropped the ball with the Transformers movie toys - Concept Camaro Bumblebee got severely shortpacked, and to date I've literally only seen about 6 in any store, total, since the toys came out almost a year ago. We're talking Bumblebee, the main character of the movie, who got shortpacked to the point that lots of people had problems finding him. I got one, but I know that his being shortpacked was not an isolated incident, and Hasbro still hasn't solved the problem almost a year later. I have very little faith that they'll suddenly start restocking Marion.
Yeah, I'll agree the Transformers line wasn't well done. It was all proto-Optimus and stuff very little of their actual movie appearance figures. However, I saw at Target a few weeks back transforming versions of the characters including Concept Camaro Bumble Bee in "tube" packaging. It was the same style packaging used for the Jedi/Clone duos. Not as much of a rectification for the shortpacking but there is a ton on eBay.
I saw available a Marion/Indy two-pack. Might be good if anyone justs wants the figures. Personally I'm still of the "give it time" beliefs. I didn't buy any of the exclusive shadow/stealth Storm Troopers that were retailing $12-$15 and now they came out as Fan's Choice figures for under 7 dollars. Granted up to 3 years has gone buy but waiting paid off.
Maybe if enough people wrote in saying how much they would enjoy spending money on Marion figures, Hasbro might be encouraged to make more.

No, for real, go check it out. Mine's still in package also but you can tell the poles are missing...which like I said isn't a big deal to me personally. After all, It was indy and sallah that put the poles on the ark <-closest I could get to an indy smiley

I know the craft store Michael's sells wooden dowel rods in very small diameters. I guess if you need to set up a scene you could go that rout and cut it to the appropriate length.
Edit: wait from the pictures online, I can't tell if there is even a place to put the poles. Does the Ark open? If not it could be balanced in between sticks.
Oh, and my mistake about Marion being packaged with Indy, she is with the monkey man figure. Looked like the same Marion thats packaged separately. Both come with a frying pan.

Yeah I noticed that when I looked at it again too. Looks like I'll have to get a Luke Skywalker figure out and have him levitate it with the Force .
Yeah I was wondering if the Marion from the deluxe 2-pack was the same as the single version. I haven't found the [bad Indy/Star Wars connection pun time] solo Marion yet.

I saw the 2-pack Marion today, but I'd much prefer the single-pack one because I'm addicted to the relics. That said, a friend picked one up for me and is mailing it to me.
I almost got the Indy & Ark of the Covenant deluxe pack, but the Indy figure blows and the Ark isn't as impressive as I'd expected. I also almost got the German Soldiers 2-pack just to give Indy more Nazis to fistfight, but they're pretty much straight repaints of the German Soldier single pack I already have, so I passed on it. I ended up getting the Jungle Cutter vehicle, which is pretty kickass, and I caved and got Sallah, who is a lot cooler than I'd first thought.

Even Harrison Ford is picking up Indy figures. Check the TFN story out (with pics) here.

Ahaha, that's awesome. 
I know there's other actors out there who get big kicks out of having action figure versions of themselves. I know Johnny Depp loves it (and I think he's the record holder for most characters of his turned into action figures, including Ichabod Crane, Capt. Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, and another I'm forgetting), and I recall seeing an episode of Jay Leno where Samuel L. Jackson was on, and he brought a bunch of action figures of himself, including Shaft and Mace Windu. I seem to recall Jeff Goldblum getting a kick out of it after there were action figures of him made for The Lost World and Independence Day.

Okay, those are the best pictures ever [well, this week]. I just can't imagine what must've been going through the clerk's mind when Indiana Jones himself walked up and bought... Indiana Jones stuff.
The only thing that would've made it better is if he had a Han Solo figure with him too.

Thank God for celebrities that buy toys That makes me feel a "little" more confident when I walk up to a register with a buttload of action figures.
Also, FYI, the Panhandle finally started putting out those deluxes I was missing.
The only things we're looking for now are the Indy w/horse (apparently the most sought after deluxe), and the jungle cutter. Also, any word on the temple playset yet?

According to Hasbrotoyshop.com it's not shipping until... 10/21  [$39.99].
I thought I'd read August a while back. Well, maybe that means the line will continue for a while, at least the rest of the year.

I finally stumbled across Indy w/ whip. Only one on the pegs. Now I've gotten all the tougher figures out of the way for the ROTLA line and I am going to pick up the last couple ones that I need over the next few weeks and then it's off to Boot Camp for me. I am glad I am going to complete this Wave before I go. Haha. Isn't that funny that's one of the biggest things I have been concerned about over the past couple of weeks?! Out of all the things I should be thinking about, I am worried about my Indiana Jones collection!
