Wanted to start a thread for general discussion of the various Indy novels, comics, RPGs, etc, but aimed from a collecting standpoint. For instance, do you own any rare or valuable Indy novels or comics. Are there any particular pieces of your collection you're especially proud of? Or are there certain books or comics you're still looking for to complete your collections? For me, I'm an avid Indy collector, especially when it comes to the expanded universe fiction.
My Indy Expanded Universe collection includes:
-all the regular novels (MacGregor, McCoy, Caidin)
-6 of the 8 Hohlbein German novels (still need two)
-comics/trades released in the US (all the Further Adventures of IJ by Marvel, as well as all the DH comics)
-printed copies of the very rare UK tales Mountains of Superstition and Treasure of Monte Cassana scans courtesy of BrodyIsDead
-I have two of the three French Indy comics (the original Bagheera version of Cite de la Foundre, and the Shell reprint of Secret de la Pyramid)
-complete collection of the TSR Indy RPGs, and an almost complete collection of the WEG Indy RPG's (only missing 1 WEG book - Lands of Adventure)
-a couple of rare RPG adventures in their original publications (Shadis #17 and #35/36), and printed copies of ALL other RPG adventures from various other RPG/Gaming magazines
I'm still looking for a lot of the European, hard-to-find in the US Indy fiction:
-still need two of the German novels by Hohlbein: IJ und die Gefiederte Schlange and IJ und das Gold von El Dorado
-Indiana Jones et le Grimoire Maudit (and preferably the Bagheera version of Secret de la Pyramid...I have the Shell version)
-and all seven Young Indy (Indiana Jones Jr) French original novels: Indiana Jones Jr et le Météorite Sacrée, Indiana Jones Jr et le Triangle des Bermudes, Indiana Jones Jr et le Fantôme du Klondike, Indiana Jones Jr et l'Ampoule Radioactive, Indiana Jones Jr et le Violon du Metropolitan, Indiana Jones Jr et l'Enfant Lama, Indiana Jones Jr et le Spectre de Venise
-only missing one RPG book, the WEG Indy RPG Lands of Adventure book (this is available in the US, just hard to find)
So whats in your Indy fiction collection? What are you looking to add to your collection?
