  1. Hasbro,

    I'am pleased with the Indy figures. Hell, I am probably as old as the sculpter are if not older. My question: Out of the Indy 3 3/4 inch line which figure would the team say is their peach "Best one".

     

    Please dont kill the line before the wave in 2009. Hasbro has put my favorites figures in that wave.

     

    Thank you,

    Chops

  2. Once upon a time there was a online toy store that took pre-orders. The pre-order items took forever for a customer to recive them. But also this online retailer was selling new items on ebay for scalper prices months before they started shipping items to customers.

    This is just a campfire tale... or is it.....

  3. The only time I have hid toys was when my wife sent me to the store and I have left my checkbook at home, so I put it behind some crap went home got my hobbie checkbook and bought it. I keep two checking accounts. About 5 years ago I decided that my hobbie had to be self-supporting. I buy sell and trade. My hobbie checkbook is never empty. I have even starting buying gas out of it to hunt toys and buy stuff around the house and even pay for my daughters expensive school crap. It is sad, but I have made more in a month than at my normal job. You guys who may not make enough money might want to try to turn collecting to your advantage it can be profitable. OH, yea on the gas rant..I am just sick of paying high prices for gas..Who isn't???

    um.. no.. most us "collectors" are against scalping ;)

     

    Scalping can be bad and it can be good. I had scalper call me and sell me 2 BATs for $10 each. I felt it was a fair price. It still constitutes as scalping. But I did not have to spend my time or gas to go looking and he called me before he put on ebay. On the other hand if he would have called me and tried to sell them for more than $15 each. I would have told him to "eat one and stick one."

    Want to talk about scalping look at the price of the SDCC joe items. At one point you could buy any figure from HTS for $10 buck. I bet YOU who hates scalpers. If you had gotten a few SDCC Destro or CC in suit would expect to sell them for their current market value value. In essence that is still scalping.

    Set 4 - "The Pyramid of Darkness" which includes another piece of the MASS, Quick Kick, Snake Eyes, Hooded Cobra Commander, and Major Bludd.

     

    Set 5 - "Best of Best Episodes" which includes another piece of the MASS, Alpine, Cobra Officer, Cobra Commander w/ CLAW, and Duke.

  6. Lets pretend for a moment that Hasbro has left it up to us to vote on the last 6 figures. The bad part is you have to have at least 1 from Crystal Skull. I will tally votes after a week

     

    This is who I pick:

    Belloq in white suit

    Sallah in suit

    Marcus Brody

    Professor Oxley

    Indy in tux

    Dietrich

  7. I had the feeling that the Indy line would not last too long, but I am happy to have what I have gotten so far. As long as they come out with the January line and dont cancel before then I will be totally happy. I am really happy with the explosion of Indy merchandise. I was able to get a good fedora otherwise before the movie came out a good Indy fedora was always too expensive.

  8. I wonder if the figures included with the TRU Jungle Cutter will include their accessories. If so, a good way to get a "Russian Soldier" 2 pack.

     

     

    Also, can anyone who actually has Dr. Henry Jones tell me if his hat is removable. If not, it would definately be worth it to get the "Tank Chase" from Target

     

    Yes, Dr. Jones's hat and glasses comes off. Now I have to go back and stoke another pit for Satan, cause I had to sell my soul to get my Last Crusade wave

  9. At first my favorite Indy was the Arabian horse Indy. Now my personal favorite is my custom Indy. I used the body from the Indy w/rocket launcher and the head from the arabian horse Indy. The pistol I use is a colt from G.I joe 25th figures whip and a bag. This has become the Indy I have sitting by my computer that I fiddle "Play" with most of the time.
