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!

Amen to that. I'm moving into my first apartment (i.e. about to give 80-85% of my income over to rent) and all I can thing about is shopping for indy toys! Congrats on boot camp btw! Best of luck to you!

I saw a guy tonight @ Wal-Mart who came to the toy aisle in full fatigues and perused the 25th anniversary G.I. Joes so you're in good company, Matthew. Good luck  .
Well I finally found the Indy & Horse but I didn't get it because Indy's eyes were really awful. He looked loopy, spaced out... kinda like Harrison on the Tonight show the other night  . I kid, I kid. I did pick up the German motorcycle though. I like it a lot.

I just got my Indy with horse today also. I really like that he's got the gloves on his hands for some reason

It took a while, but I found an Indy w/horse today that didn't have bad eye paint .
EDIT
Almost forgot; I picked up 4 new Joes. Duke w/jet pack & American flag, Spirit, Wild Bill & H.I.S.S. driver.

You know, everytime I think I want to pick up some of the anniversary Joes, I talk myself into holding out for the movie stuff. It also doesn't help that Flint is my favorite Joe and I don't think they can top him after the Joe vs. Cobra 2-pack with Baroness a few years back.

I haven't done it yet either, but I want to now that I've seen the movie. Actually, I think I'll need 13 of them  .
Does anyone know when the 'Last Crusade' wave is supposed to come out? I hit a few stores yesterday and they had refilled the pegs, but it was all 'ROTLA' & 'KOTCS'.

Last Crusade has been slated for July I believe, with Temple to follow in September (From Toyfair)

I was @ Wal-mart today and they had a large square shipper/display of Indy figures, filled on two sides, and with the toy whips on the other two sides. Plus their regular pegs were full, so both 'ROTLA' & 'KOTCS' are still shipping if you missed anything.
They had also replenished their 25th anniversary Joes and some of the older figures must be in the cases with the newer ones because the Commando Snake Eyes was right there along side the Duke w/jetpack.
A couple of more Joe related notes.
I found some pics of the upcoming DVD figure sets
MASS Device
Revenge of Cobra
Also, Hasbro recently reacquired the rights to their old Sunbow catalog [which went from Rhino, to Sony Wonder to limbo]. That should mean that G.I. Joe and Transformers will be re-issued on DVD sometime soon; probably next year to coincide with the live action movies for each [Transformers 2 in July 2009, G.I. Joe in August 2009].

I bought a set of Indy Figs at DisneyLand a couple years ago and am debating selling them. Do you think the Hasbro line will make them worth more or less? Only one Indianna Jones in jacket is still On Card. Any ideas? have al the parts and pieces. Was going to list on ebay to see what happened. Which would be better? Individuals, or as group?
Just cleared out my Transformers & other Japanese robots on eBay (Not soliciting--most of them are already gone and the few that are left are other brands). Made over $10,000. Japanese-Takara-packaged Ultra Magnus sold for over $540, and I paid $80 for it (20 years ago). And now I have most of a closet emptied!

I'd sell them as a group, but you might want to hold onto them for a few more years...at least until Hasbro loses the license and the market is starved for indy toys. Just an opinion.

Speaking of Indy, I finally found the Cargo truck. I actually saw two this weekend. All the single & deluxe figures were [and are] easy to find, but the Cargo truck & Jeep were tougher finds.
