Has anybody purchased this yet? It cost $10.00. Has some great pictures and a few spoilers. If ya want to see any of it i can upload some pics, and, or text.
IJS originally showed this with the cover of the teaser poster then it switched to the theatrical poster cover. Which one do you have? Is there a variation with both covers?

I have the theatrical poster cover. I'm uploading some of the pictures right now.
I usually pick up these "Official Movie Magazines" at Borders, so you should be able to find it there or Barnes & Noble. I'll get this when I can, but won't check it out until after I've seen the movie.
A group of teenagers are tearing up the state highway blasting rock n roll from their '32 Ford Roadster. The fresh-faced driver is looking for a race and challenges a passing military convoy. The army truck up front indulges him for a while and then watches as the joy-rider tears off into the distance. But these are no ordinary US Army troops. The trucks take a side road up into the treeless hills, and arrive at a restricted area. The "troops" promptly get out and shoot the military guards on duty, breaking into the base.
more to come...
Once outside the secure"51" hanger, the "Army" and its "colonel", Dovchenko, begin talking in Russian and bundle their blind-folded prisoners- Indiana Jones and his long-time friend, Mac - out of the car trunk. Just as a disoriented Indy is about to be beaten senseless by the furious Dovchenko, his boss, Dr. Irina Spalko, shows up and demands the professors help in locating a specific crate with "highly magnetised" contents, inside the enormous hangar. Certain the ruthless Russians are plotting something terrible, Indy refuses, but when they threaten Mac's life, he is forced to comply.
The hangar is a storage area of unimaginable proportions, filled with packing crates and artifacts - an Aladdin's cave of US military treasure. In the absence of a compass, Indy identifies magnetic activity using gunpowder metal and bullet pellets, which leads him to a crate labeled SWELL, N.M. 7-9-47. He knows immediately it's connected to Roswell, New Mexico.
Inside the crate is a stainless steel coffin containing a small body wrapped in a foil body bag. Spalko is delighted, and Indy seizes this moment of distraction to escape from the guards and toss a gun to Mac who subsequently turns on Indy and reveals he is working for the Russians!
I'm disappointed there's no mini-adventure prologue like in the other 3 films. In the SMFM script Indy goes after an "idol." It's presumably the one from the first film and would have wrapped that loose end up nicely plus it would have been great to see Indy finally get his idol back after all these years.
no there is not. no 3rd act of another story. after i drop off my daughter, i'll post the quote by i think steven that tells how it begins unlike the other 3.
we find Indiana Jones in a not customary place-that was George's idea. George said, 'This time, I'd like to introduce Harrison playing Indy in the trunk of a car.' I said, 'That's fine by me-I haven't seen that before! All the opening sequences [of the Indiana Jones movies] are sort of like the third act of another movie you didn't get to see."
Koepp:
"In this film, Marion is a focus of the search; Indy doesn't know it, but she is what he's been searching for over the last twenty years."

Well that's pretty damn disappointing. I knew the blame should be rightfully directed at Lucas. He has lost his mind.
