Besides the German Cargo Truck, the Troop Car, The German on Motorcyle from LC, The Jungle Cutter and Mutt on Motorcycle...are they planning on releasing any more vehicles?
Indy's cycle with Henry's sidecar from LC would be nice...as well as two Mine Cars with tracks from TOD...and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a Flying Wing from Raiders!!!
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
Short Round's car and The Crusade Tank are musts. And they wouldn't need to be any bigger than the Jungle Cutter, and would have way more play value for kids.
Hasbro confirmed via their Q&A that the motorcycle w/sidecar is coming in 2009:

ActionFigs.com: This question comes up quite a bit, so here goes. With the Indiana Jones line, will you be making another deluxe German Motorcycle, one that comes with a sidecar and perhaps Henry Jones sr.? Good way to reuse a few molds and get something new and desired into collectors hands, and it looks like the motorcycle we currently have was designed to accommodate a sidecar.
Hasbro: We do have plans for a sidecar version in 2009, but Henry Jones will be coming on a basic figure card later this year so we wouldn't include him with the motorcycle.
They also had this to say concerning vehicles:

3. Most folks are gobbling up the German Truck, Troop Car, and Russian Jungle Cutter from the Indy vehicles line. What can we expect to see from the vehicle line as the summer goes by? Will we have to wait long for something new to join the line or should we settle into expecting just those three for the summer?
** That will be it for the vehicles until later in the Fall. It's still too early to tell when the next one will be available, but we should have more info at Toy Fair.
Hopefully they just aren't referring to the lame Cargo Truck version 2
If they release the tank, I want a Kubelwagon to get stuck on the front and get run over.
Also if they release Indy's Ford GPA (the "Duck") I also want Spalko's GAZ 69.
It's unlikely we'll get them, though. Especially the Kubelwagon. Even though the one that gets stuck on the tank was a repro (the second one was a real one, though) they'd presumably have to pay Volkswagon for the rights to use the vehicle's design, even if they omitted the logos?
As for the Ford GPA and GAZ 69 they could just call those "Duck" and "Russian Jeep."
I hope they release:
ROTLA Jock's floatplane
ROTLA flying boat
ROTLA flying wing
ROTLA Submarine
ROTLA Bantu wind
TOD mine carts
TOD Shorty's car
TOD Ford Trimotor
LC tank
LC bi-plane
LC Messerschmitt
LC Rolls Royce Phantom 2
KOTCS Lead-lined fridge
KOTCS Amphibious Duck
KOTCS Cargo truck with crushed cab
Ok, some of these might be a bit too big to make. But I really would love to have Jock's floatplane and the tank.
Yeah dude...My buddy had a 1:18 scale P-40 Warhawk hanging from his celling & it engulfed about 1/4 of his room. I had to of had almost a 2 ft wingspan...and that was only a single engined fighter...cost around 70 bucks...so to have a 4 engined pan am clipper would be asking waaaay to much

I bet anything we get both the flatbed Russian Jeep and the Duck. Both are featured prominently and will fit nicely into Hasbro's precious $20 pricepoint for vehicles.
At least one plane would make me happy!! I'd take Jock's Bi-plane, the Pan Am Clipper, the Ford Trimotor, the LC Bi-plane, or the Flying Wing. Any one of those would do!
