Indiana Jones 1/18 items this year

You guys do realize that this is a line of toys... for, well, ya know, Indiana Jones movies... right?

Just sayin'... It's not XD.

Don't count on vehicles to roll out every week in some new form for you. The updates are likely gonna be figures for quite some time. The "new" vehicle listing was a re-release of the German truck with a fabric top to it (very cool actually, I'll be getting a couple I hope). I think they might show something new vehicle-wise at San Diego Comic-Con though. I'm hopeful (and a "Seep"/mini-Dukw would be a welcome piece IMO, if not a tad obscure for the U.S.) on that, but not positive. Hasbro's hinted at some vehicles are possible, but I wouldn't expect them to go hog wild with people's wishlists on those.

Again, just a reminder... This toy line technically isn't for the military collectors.

It's for Indy fans, and that maens that Temple of Doom Wave is outstanding looking... The Indy from it is incredible too. Might be my favorite Indy figure produced thus far.

I think they should at least come out with an Amphibian car that floats. Talk about play value in the bathtub.

I have a hard time fitting in a bathtub, nevertheless with room for toys.

I have friends that work at wm target tru, all are telling me that they are just getting jungle cutters in, looks like the truck is getting phased out for the new one.

So if there is a new truck, then should we(once we get the new trucks in) be sending the old ones to our chop shops and slice-n-dice them into other models ??? Be intresting to see the new trucks to see the new paint scheme

Will it be gray or DAK

A few quick IJ recon updates from me...

-TLC figs:
A few days ago I went back to check the Wal-Mart where I got the Vogel & Elsa figures and they are all sold out on all TLC figures, checked two other Wal-Marts and didn't see anything new either.

-Troop Car:
Out of all the Targets I have hit, only one in Fullerton is carrying one Troop Car, I passed on it due to my Iron Man recon, so anyone need it and in the region, it's up for grabs!

-Target prices:
I checked one Target today and IJ toys are back to the old price;
Figures originally $7.49 now back to $7.99.
Deluxe Figures originally $8.99 now back to $9.99.

The walmart in casselberry has 2 trucks.

Fry's in Plano TX has a couple of trucks and a small assortment of figures.

We reported a story today about some new Deluxe items possibly coming... Map Room was on the list.

They're rumors for now, but pretty solid ones. Check out www.JediDefender.com for the full story on our front page.

I had the Indy figure in white robes out last night and was wondering WHY they had not issued the staff with the figure?
Maybe they will include the staff w/ this deluxe set?

WHEN IS THE SIDECAR GOING TO BE AVAILABLE????

Come on hasbro how long are you going to have us wait for the SIDECAR???????

Found all the new Titanium vehicles at TRU of all places! I picked up the ones I liked best, but not the whole series. These are very, very nice, but you will have to be a small scale fan to really enjoy them

Still no sign (at least that I've found) of the new IJ figure wave in my area. Its darn frustrating and I think I just might have to bite the bullet and go to ebay for that elusive Vogel figure...

I can't wait to receive my crystal skeleton mail-away figures.

That's right, I said figures. Plural.

I found 2 Troop Cars today at a local Target and 1 last Thurs. at a Walmart.So they are still shipping them but it seems the Jungle Cutter out numbers them.

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:24 pm

same here.

Lance Quazar · Post by **Lance Quazar** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 3:34 pm

The good news: FINALLY found a Troop Car yesterday after looking for the past 2 months.

The bad news: Price increased 20% to 23.99 from 19.99!

WTF?

At least it's a fantastic vehicle.

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 3:40 pm

Hi Lance Quazar

Where did you pick up the troop car at??

General Blasto · Post by **General Blasto** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:50 pm

I have been seeing a varying of both vehicles and the brush crusher at different stores down here. Strange thing now from my view is that I'm starting to cut up some of my trucks and staff cars to make new different models from them

I see more trucks than staff cars. But I think I'll need to find an extra couple staff cars and a truck because I'm starting to like this SDkfz 7 thing I'm building and I may wish to build a second one

But then again, a Hanomag must give up it life the way it knows it. But then again, I could then sacafice another WC-63 truck to build a second dragon wagon

But if so, I'll need to buy another Bradley APC and a 1/32 Pk40 to build the next DW

Choices, too many choices

This has possibilities... I can see a Japanese stronghold (minus the skull and dragons). The place where the boulder is held looks like a nice place to set up a MG.

Wonder how much this will cost and where will it be available...

BRING ON THE SIDECAR, Hasbro! The Jones Boys need a ride!

I found it at Toys R Us. I saw another one at a different TRU the night before.

Great vehicle, but needs weathering.

What should I use to replace the wonky oversized gun with??
