I mentioned this in another thread not long ago, but here again is a mostly-complete inventory of my
Young Indy loot:
Crack that whip said:
... the novelization The Mata Hari Affair, the four volumes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles soundtrack CDs, the "making-of" book, the Lucasfilm Fan Club membership kit material (IIRC, a patch and a poster or two), the Dark Horse comics series (including a still-sealed "value pack"-type thing containing a couple issues in a clear plastic clamshell-type container), an unopened box of Dixie cups (!), the Viewmaster reels from "British East Africa, September 1909," and the Pro Set trading cards, complete with all base cards, 3-d cards and hidden treasure cards multiple times over, plus boxes and wrappers (including at least a full unopened box, maybe more), plus the binder, along with a handful of magazines that covered the show.
Further notes:
- that "value pack" thing is more of a "collector's thing," I recently rediscovered, seeing my old stuff on a visit at my parents' home (where a lot of my belongings still reside for the time being). It's an individually numbered limited edition, though I don't think the edition limit was particularly low.
- My
TYIJC trading card collection includes not only the complete base card set plus all the 3-d cards, the Hidden Treasure cards and the mail-in-exclusive binder, but I also have the checklist (another mail-in item; it's just a letter-sized sheet of paper printed with the show's logo and a complete list of all the cards, but it's a nice, finalizing addition to the set), plus a promo version of one of the cards. The promo card is a slightly different version of card #7, from the Egypt / Curse of the Jackal episode. I
think this card came bagged with some magazine or other, possibly an issue of the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine, but I no longer recall with certainty. I do still have scads of the cards (and I brought back a bunch of doubles with me, for trading fodder
), but for the moment I'm unable to locate the countertop boxes I know I have, including the full, unopened one (a lot of my stuff has been moved around in the years since I lived there; similarly, I'm temporarily unable to locate the
YIJC items from the LFL Fan Club kits). I'll look again on my next visit.
Aside from the vintage merchandise I have the current DVD releases, plus a transparency enlargement from a presskit photo of Harrison Ford in his "bookends" segment (someone with a connection to the entertainment editor for the local paper got it for me), plus one of my coolest Indy items, not actual licensed merchandise or even anything officially connected to the show at all, but a cane I found in a pawn shop that happens to have the exact same brass sculpture eagle's head handle as the cane carried by Old Indy in the original bookends on the show.
