Indiana Jones Troop Car at Kmart and Walmart

Just to let you all know that the IJ Troop Car is available at the Kmarts. They are getting hard to find in Target stores.

I went to a local Kmart and all they had was a jungle cutter (1) and 5 figures. :roll:

I was just at Walmart and saw the troop car. I read on the Walmart site that it was an online exclusive.

I found a few at Toys R Us last week, which is where I bought mine.

I just found a IJ Troop car @ WM yesterday.
The box was caved in and got the it for 14.76
Opened it up and no damage what so ever.
Did you guys know there is a "Diorama" backdrop that you can set up with the troop car?
It is the lining inside the box and you fold it a different way to set up a backdrop to set you car in.
I put it together, but ended up throwing it out. It look a little cheesie.
Go try, Hasbro...

Considering the diorama setups that come with the vehicles, I think Hasbro is trying to get into our little realistic military toy/model niche market with the Indiana Jones line, in a direct way that they have not done before.

After all, I've never seen a toy line from Hasbro with such realistic-looking figures and vehicles (for the most part) that were not in some way tied in with a super hero, science fiction film or cartoon show. Even though some of their German figures and vehicles have inaccuracies, they are still German soldier figures and accurate-enough vehicles AND they are being made by Hasbro. Such items were once only the fodder of only 21c and a few select small companies.

Besides, how often are you going to see Hasbro make a toy line that includes Boy Scout and Professor figures that come packaged with ancient holy relics and not spring-loaded guns?

BTW, still waiting to find those elusive Vogel, Henry Jones Sr. and Elsa figures :wink:
