So I went back tried on the jacket it fit perfectly and they said I could get a picture with Bo in front of the 51 Merc so while I was waiting for Bo the man that I got the jacket from motioned me to come forward than he said how would you like to sit in the Merc.......... He opened the door and I got to sit in the drivers seat and get a couple pictures! Than when Bo came back I got my picture with him in front on the Merc and Milners 32 Deuce Coupe it was a dream come true!


I will post some pics of the jacket later on.

Sounds awesome.

Can we perhaps all take a moment to remind ourselves that this is a thread, and a forum, meant to discuss the collecting of Indiana Jones memorabilia?

I'm well aware, and this isn't only directed at you...it was just a reminder that needed to be made. We've been talking about Batman and GI Joe in these parts too...

I finally found something new in the 3 3/4 range today. Found a lone Cairo thug two pack among various other deluxe peg warmers.

Not the most exciting pick up.I'm just glad to have found SOMETHING new.

So then not really considered an acquisition then is it?

Yeah, it is. My local Target acquired it. It's newsworthy because folks are paying attention to when new stuff is arriving in retail stores.

I agree, whether someone actually buys it or not, every new find at least gives others hope.

I am hoping that my Targets will get off their collective butts and put out some of the new deluxe in my lifetime...or anything new for that matter.

I don't really buy that many props because I don not have the space or cash to afford them. This was a jacket so I figured I would wear it all the time and for an Indy jacket its really nothing special just a plain old leather jacket. The one you got is really cool though.

It has come down to me hitting Wal-Mart Supercenters at 11PM to raid the pallets of unopened toy cases.

Is one Henry Jones Sr., one Elsa Schneider and one Colonel Vogel too much for me to ask??

I went on http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=3232939 and bought Dr Jones Sr. I couldnt handle not having the man in the collection. Seriously the day that figure went on toysrus.com it already went out of stock. Sorry to anyone who tried to get it and it's sold out. Hopefully they have them in their stores. I just got Vogel,Elsa,Knight,Indy w/tie, and young indy in one big scoop at walmart. I'm missing Mutt w/cycle,12" whip cracking indy, and 12" Cairoswordsman. Once I get those I will give the ARK stickers to the first PM I get. One per person though just to be fair.

My Wal-Mart finally re-stocked the entire action figure section and I found Mutt on the motorcycle. Unforrtunately a guy on another forum found one for me in Indy that I'm supposed to pick up soon.
