Depending on how the figure turns out, anyone else smell a 1/6th scale John McClane custom?

things were worse here in the UK. The bridge playset was released, but when the figures came out here, no figures came with bridge parts at all. It made the playset pointless.

Dunno if it's appropriate to post here, but anyway: I've got this new blog I've started. It's called Indy's Temple and I'll be covering pretty much everything in the world of Indy. From toys, to books, to the movies and even the TV series plus loads more. http://indystemple.blogspot.co.uk/

There was more to Scramble City than just one part. It was the Japanese 5 part movie. As I said in my previous post, Toei somehow lost the remaining 4 parts, so they hastily cobbled together a 2nd part that was made up of toy commercial scenes that were overdubbed by the Japanese cast. It IS officially part 2, but again, like parts 2-5, it's in some Japanese TV show's warehouse somewhere for all we know, or in some collector's attic. If it was only one part, then why were Convoy and Megatron alive by the end of part 1, yet no longer around in 2010? Answer: Scramble City was to explain that

There is. Scramble City was the 5 part cartoon made exclusively for Japan in place of the movie. It was designed to lead directly into 2010 (season 3 of the US toon) and would have the creation of Metroflex (Metroplex) and Dinosaurer/Dinobase (Trypticon), as well as the transition from Convoy and Megatron to Rodimus Convoy and Galvatron. However, most of Scramble City is now lost or destroyed for some reason and only part 1 has actually been found.

The top one is british and rare as hell, the bottom link is the australian version. The UK version has nothing for it's special features which sucks, no trailers, no commercials, no TV spots...hell no interviews. The australian version has Scramble City, Flint Dille interview, TV Spots, Trailers, The Touch music video, Peter Cullen interview and a BW episode

I was at the UK Memorabilia Show yesterday at the NEC. Pretty damn awesome for a UK sci-fi, comics and collectors show. While there, (dressed as Indy no less), I got some Indy scores: 12" Cairo Swordsman and Mutt - £25 for the pair 1992 Horizon Vinyl Henry Sr model kit - £20 Handmade Fertility Idol (damn heavy too) - £10

I went down to my local comic shop today as I'd heard that UK comic artist Lee Bradley was in town doing custom artwork for people, signing stuff and general meet and greet on stuff. I'd sent in a request on the comic shop forum for some Indy art. I was kinda expecting him to do some kind of generic, yet awesome Harrison Ford style art. However, when I got down there, he was working on my piece and this is it: he explained that he wanted to get into the character and show it. His art is always one off when done at cons.

what you can do to stop that happening is sand the joint down a little bit. That removes the top layer, but still gives it plenty of room to work. You can paint over it then

yeah, the minecart and young indy are well known. but here's some more: prototype Sidecar for the bike proto Simon Katanga Young Indy Proto Mine Cart Proto

For those that might be interested in the origins of Star Wars day and the famous phrase, it apparently stems back to hen Lucas was promoting Star Wars on German TV and to close his interview, he said "May the Force be with you", yet the translator mistranslated it as "Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen" or loosely translated "May the 4th be with you"
