They even gave the guy a decent looking fedora for a change!

Now that was pretty cool

I was just about to post this commercial as a new thread. Glad I did a search first.

Too bad the number's out of service. Then again, they wanted $32 a month for eight months ($256) back in 1991!! That's almost what I paid for my custom Wested!! 256 bucks was crazy money back in '91. Plus it would have been inferior materials and knockoff design.

I did buy my first Indy jacket around that time, though. Got it used for 75 bucks from a guy I was taking mail order whip lessons from. Found an ad for the lessons in the Indy fan mag. Bought an authentic Morgan from him, too. Not a bullwhip, a stockwhip. That was 75, too.

But I digress.

Great commercial, but what a ripoff!!

In the interview clip that I mentioned above, the Lucasfilm lisencing guy, Brad Weston, says that the retail price of the jacket will be $285 and that was in 1989!

What is funny is that the monthly installment is $32.06. Why the extra 6 cents? Anyway, yes, it's a cool commercial. I love stuff like this.

This might have been mentioned already but there is a commercial for Kenner's large-sized Indy action figure on YouTube.

Here's one for Kenner's 3 3/4 Inch vintage figures

Ha, I actually have this jacket. It's held up great , for being 21 years old! I still wear it, it has only shrunk just a tad...or maybe I've swelled some? It's definitely a LAST CRUSADE type jacket (color and style wise), is very heavy, but very comfy! The sizes on them run LARGE! I think I paid $275 for it back in the early 90's.

This. This is my childhood. I have a lot of fond memories of putting in the Last Crusade VHS tape and watching this before the movie played. It's such a fun commercial. They don't make enough of 'em like these anymore. Or at least it feels that way.

Anyone else remember it?

Wow, not a cheap ad! Indy would never swing on a snake though!

It reminds me of this famous UK advert for chocolate orange - so many memories of seeing this growing up...

Didn't realise they'd done a second Indy inspired one, though...

Yup! Watching a standard def full screen version of LC never seems complete with out this commercial. Childhood right here.

I love the guys goofy "That Indiana!" While his wife almost died for a diet coke.
