I have that set. The Ark does open, but does not have the poles that the 12" version has. It looks very good IMHO.

Yes, that set is worth it. Personally, besides the German Motorcycle and Indy & horse sets, it is one of my favorites.

The Ark is well detailed and is essentially a minnature replica of the one from the film (albeit no poles). As the prop in the film was build according to the Biblical description and stats, the toy, then, is as highly accurate as can be determined to the real relic

The ark can open and "sand" is detailed on the very bottom. The piece is a great place to stick little relics or whatever.

The Indy figures is also pretty cool. The cloth robes were done nicely and do not look too funky. They can be removed. No "Staff of Ra" was included, however, which would have been cool. He goes well with the Sullah figure. The Ark looks great with the Belloq figure.

The novelty of the set is also something to consider... How often are you going to see an action figure that comes with a replica of a Jewish holy relic selling at mass retail?

I second that assessment. THe ark is really nice. The figure I wasn't impressed with, but it's fine.

My ark came with a real human hair in it! black, fine, about an 1" long - probably from Asia. Some factory workers hair fell into teh ark. Not as cool as holy scriptures or angry ghosts. I left it in there.

The relic is inside the cardboard "box" that comes with each figure.

I thought I would point out that Indy figures are still not selling, no matter how many times WalMart "rolls back" the price to $5.44 a figure. That's still too much in my opinion. They need to clearance these things.

The prices have been rolled back in Britain too. But most of the figures here are Marion and Monkey man. Which I don't want.

Looks like SJ is trying to clear their warehouse of the IJ stuff too. Some of those prices were surprising though. $11.99 for Spalko and the cemetary warrior and $19.99 for the Russian soldier

So...when are the IJ figures going to go on clearance?

I saw today that K-Mart had buy on get one FREE on all the Indy figures and they had all the Last Crusade wave. Worth a look.

I was shocked yesterday. I walked into my local Target and found the carded German officer and the knight from" The "last Crusade". Someone must have missed a bribe payment and the good stuff got out of the stockroom.

Was this a one week deal only or still going on?
I checked 2 Kmarts in my area over the holiday and nothing....

I saw a ton of them, and Dr. Jones Sr. at a couple of Targets over the weekend.

How many versions of the Cargo Truck are out there? - I have the one that came out before the movie. One seems more grey? does one have fabric? I havnt opened mine yet and still debating.

General Blasto · Post by **General Blasto** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 2:28 pm

The other day when I was at Target I saw a 4 or 5 pack of Indy figures that INCLUDED Dr. Jones Sr. AND the German Col. I passed on it as I have several of each and I need to focus on presents for Christmas.

There is a S3 version of the cargo truck with a fabric truck. I saw it once or twice, but passed on it. Now I don't see them and I guess I lost out on them - for now

STUKA · Post by **STUKA** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 7:14 pm

that was quick - we went out to eat tonight and of course target to get a few items and I found the IJ Truck with Fabric back tonight $19.99 - it is a different box with a pic on the back - not sure if it is fabric over the plastic or just fabric?
