This may be a bit off-topic, but for how long (approximately) do Hasbro's 3 3/4" figures stay in stores? I just want to know for how long the currently available 3 3/4" Indiana Jones figures will be in stores.
Agent Spalko said:Hard to say but judging from the overstocked pegs at Walmart probably for months but knowing Target they'll prolly mark them down on clearance in a matter of weeks.
I'm waiting for the clearance sale myself! It's always kind of comical that we collectors will run around snatching up every figure possible, spending the full store prices, and then end up going to a store several months later and seeing them all there in the buy 1 get 1 bin!Agent Spalko said:Hard to say but judging from the overstocked pegs at Walmart probably for months but knowing Target they'll prolly mark them down on clearance in a matter of weeks.
The Golden Idol said:Thanks, but from prior knowledge of Hasbro Star Wars figure lines, does anyone know how long the Indy figures will be available in stores everywhere?
Agent Spalko said:What kind of an answer are you expecting? As if Hasbro or anybody has a definitive answer to that question. In all likelihood it will be months. They are not going to warm the pegs forever because retailers need to make room for new product. Best guess is that waves 1 and 2 will start to disappear by fall as retailers make room for Christmas merchandise and send back unsold product to Hasbro for return credit.

Can someone please answer this question?
Billy Ray said:No offense, but your question is a little vague. Do you mean "How long will Hasbro be producing Indy figures?", "How long will stores carry the line?", or "How long will it take for what is currently on the pegs to sell through?".
Hasbro has stated that they have long term plans for the line. We know there are new figures (TLC and TOD) figures coming this year and more coming next year.

Bellosh said:The bigger, better question is (understanding that Hasbro has a confirmed "long-term" license) how long will THE LINE be in stores???? Through 2009 or 2010? I'm seeing a lot of it out there now, but it seems to be turning over and restocking often. The hardest figures in STL are Cemetary Warrior, Marion and Russian Soldier...Spalko can't be packed 1 in every 5 cases as someone on ebay wrote...she's too common, though not abundant...I think with a good variety of 2009 figures/vehicles (bring on the planes!!!!), the line can have staying power beyond...but not beyond 2010 unless a fifth movie is confirmed.
Billy Ray said:According to the case break downs Spalko is 1 per case in only one assortment, but you are right...I have noticed quite a few on the pegs in my neck of the woods lately too. Marion is also only one per case in one assortment but she is hard to come by. Of course, she was in wave 1, so maybe those cases aren't shipping out as much any more.
