The problem is Christmas isn't in the summer when all the big blockbusters are out in theaters. I think sales and interst in Indy will pick up again starting in October when the KOTCS DVD comes out. Black Friday should give it a boost and hopefully, by Christmas, we here in Canada will finally get the LC wave. ;)

The last crusade Wave is not really abundant in the Chicago area, either!!

Temple of Doom wave is slated for October 1st!

MaxPhactor23 07-25-2008 03:57 PM

It appears there might be a few deluxe Temple of Doom sets on display. On the Doom side of the showcase there’s a sacrificial cage with Willie inside, Mine cart, and Alligator. These could just be there to add to the atmosphere, or they could be legitimate pieces being released.

I am watching a live feed from Dan Curto at Rebelscum.com

Included in the presentation/slideshow are -

3 3/4 " figures of

Indy German
Marion Dress
German Mechanic
Toht
Sallah

MaxPhactor23 07-25-2008 04:04 PM

Yah I heard we'll be seeing them apparently. Thank god!

ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 04:19 PM

FINALLY!! Whoo-hooooooooooooo!!!



ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 04:20 PM

Marion w/SNAKES! German Mechanic and Toht that look like their movie counterparts!! Sapito!!!!!!!

Billy Ray 07-25-2008 04:21 PM

Wow, those battlepacks are pretty underwhelming:rolleyes: I don't see anything new in them, or even re-tooled. I suppose I might get the Tank set if I haven't found a Vogel by the time it comes out, he is the only figure out that I still need. At least then I will have a couple more German soldiers and an Indy and Henry for custom fodder.

Can't wait to see pics fromt he slideshow though!

**EDIT*** Guess I don't have to wait ^:D WOW, they all look GREAT! I wonder if Toht will come with his overcoat though?

ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 04:42 PM

Mighty Mugs -

Indy in white Tux
Toht
Spalko


MaxPhactor23 07-25-2008 04:42 PM

These look pretty awesome. I hope Sapito comes with some tarantulas though. Even more importantly, I hope Toht comes with his overcoat cape-like deal. Am I the only one annoyed by the lacking of it? This begs the question…where is Belloq (Egypt), Marcus, and Dietrich? Weren’t they all confirmed too?

ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 04:45 PM

Patience, patience. It's not over yet. They may get just get confirmed by Hasbro, only not pictured.

ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 04:52 PM

I have a feeling that Marion has a little more to her white dress and Toht more than likely also has a trench coat!

I'm hoping so on both accounts. Marion might be the first action figure to have half of a removable dress. Hah! She certainly looks like a much better sculpt of Karen Allen too.

Nurhachi1991 07-25-2008 05:19 PM

Ummmmmm guys I was actully there so listen to me. There is no LC tank the TOD wave looks great as well as the new 12 inch figures.




I got the idol mighty mugg!


I will post my pics when I get back I was mad that you couldnt buy the LC figures at comic con what a bunch of BS.

No dealers have them?


And that sucks about the tank. Any chance you could get me a Lobo? ;)

Terence 07-25-2008 06:15 PM

Well Of Souls playset (with ark?)

Toht with interchangeable heads-melting and normal
Marion Ravenwood in white dress
German Mechanic
German Indy
Belloq in casual dress

im thinking Belloq in casual dress and Marcus Brody are the 2 exclusives,marcus possibly with black board and desk,belloq tent/ table/ bottle?

ChromiumBlue37 07-25-2008 06:24 PM

The one thing that is going to hurt this line is the LAG between figure waves!

...but it's the normal lag we've seen so far.
Waves 1 & 2 in May
Wave 3 in July
Wave 4 in Oct.
Wave 5 in January

...so it's only about 2 or 3 months in between, and that's not too bad.

ChromiumBlue37 07-26-2008 01:32 PM

It's a stretch for me.

Does anyone know if any of the Hasbro reps shed any light on newer action figure confirmations/vehicles/playsets? Hasbro skipped out on the promised Q & A session after the skimpy slideshow yesterday.

Otherwise Wow, I'm impressed with the direction Hasbro is going! The TOD line can't come soon enough!
