Thank you so much! You are a true Gent! I will do the same for you.

After looking today, I came up empty handed. That's all right. A little patience and with just ten dollars, we will finally have our little Lego Indy's!! :whip:

see, I know it is a $10 set but my Indy Collection needs will not allow me to see a set already and not buy it LOL!! That's why I'm offering $100 to anyone who can get me the new 7" Indy figure from disney when they 1st come out.

I hunted almost all day today and didn't find squat. But, I'll hit some places tomorrow on the way to work and let you know if I find anything. I just wish I new where they found them. If it was at Walmart, I'd hit a bunch of those and the same for Target. This going to EVERY store really sucks.

I found Darth Maul on Speeder Bike at a Walgreens of all places almost a month before the Episode I figures were supposed to be released. The best part of it? It wouldn't ring up right, so the manager came out and sold it to us for $4.99. I probably could have sold that for at least $30-$50 but I didn't have eBay (or the internet) back then so I kept it for myself.

I think the people buying these things are dumber than the folks selling them. $80 for a $9.99 LEGO set? Ridiculous....

Don't feel bad. I think we've all spent too much money on ebay for stuff. But like you said,it's what it's worth to each of us. I have a few toys on my shelf that I paid a lot of money for that I found later in clearance bins :eek:

Oh, I do not feel bad at all :) I am tickled to death... I can start my New Indy shelves now...I am turning my 20'x20' star wars / Indiana Jones room into a Full fledged Indy room with all of the new items... The Centerpiece is my raiders poster which Harrison ford signed for me In North carolina while he was shooting the Fugative :) to me, the Lego shelves are going to be spectacular :)

I just really need that 7" disney figure ASAP... I LOVE IT!!

I emailed LEGO about the new Indy sets and received the following reply:

"The Indiana Jones playsets are not available in our current product selection. Although it may become available in the coming months, company policy prohibits the release of new product information prior to its launch date."

Im guessing stock has been released to stores and a few money hungry employees are selling them before the official release date next year.

I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to like 4 stores this morning and finally found a set at Toys R Us!!!!!
ChromiumBlue37-They only had one left, but a customer of mine works at that TRU, so I'll tell him to keep an eye open. I also called a couple of friends and told them and they're checking their stores in Downers Grove and St. Charles today. With any luck, we'll have you hooked up by the end of the week. I snapped a crappy phone picture of the tag on the shelf, but I can't seem to make it show up on the boards. :eek:

All right, buddy! Good for you!! (y)

This is just SO exciting isn't it? The FIRST of a new line of Indiana Jones toys.
I am happy to be patient. Please, open yours up, enjoy it and give us a full review. Photograph the minifigs, if you can!

Thanks again, Jimmy!!

The Motorcycle Chase seems to be the very first set available. I wonder if they are SUPPOSED to be out yet? :confused:

At any any rate I am grabbing up 2! Can I get a set for you Fixer?

I just got back from hitting four stores in my area and nothing...(n)

Questions regarding this set..
Does it come with the whip?
Does Henry come with a book or is it just a lego piece painted to look like a diary?

Oh yeah,PICS please!:D

I've spent too much money on plenty of toys, but not to get them in advance. If I couldn't find them when originally available, that's when I used to go to toyshows, eBay, or Brian's Toys. To be honest, I don't do that kinda stuff anymore. If I can't find it, I can't find it. Obviously I'm not into collecting like I used to be when I was younger.

I've never come across that stuff I bought in clearance bins, but I have had Hasbro rerelease the item in new packaging (which I could care less what it comes in) so that stings a bit.

On topic, I did want at least this LEGO set. I'll check out my TRU when I have a chance and see what I can find.

EDIT - I didn't see Jimmy told his friends to check the one in Downers Grove. That's my TRU dammit! :p I'm sure they're gone if they were there, right?

I found them at the TRU on Butterfield. That's right down the road from the Comic Book store that I manage. The one next to the Best Buy. My friend is checking the one at 75th and Lemont on the south end of Downers. I'll give you a heads-up too if we find them. Man, it looks like there's a handful of us in the same area. Awesome.
