I just received mine today, with the Raiders items in the second pic here. I love it; I want all three of them now!

Here are some observations I made in another thread:

Crack that whip said:
I didn't even know about all the details of the sculpture - specifically, the miniature period magazines and newspapers lining the floor of the crate; very sweet! The rubber snakes are of course just ordinary cheap toy snakes of the sort one can get for pennies in the cheap toy aisles in supermarkets and the like, but it's a nice touch to include them at all.

My crate assortment is the all-Raiders collection, with the Chachapoyan fertility idol and the Well of Souls hieroglyphic tablet. Ooh, I hadn't realized the Idol was a solid hunk of actual metal - I thought it'd be plated or painted plastic or ceramic, but no...

The magnets built into the hat and the crate corner hold the hat on the crate reasonably securely - certainly enough for a shelfbound display piece that's not going to be swooshed around like a toy plane or something. The sculpting and paint are pretty nicely done, and I think it's one of the most attractive "collectible sculpture"-type collectibles at this price point or price points a notch or three higher. Having seen this one now, my only quibble with the product is that aside from having to get multiples to get all the artifacts, not all the artifacts I'd like to see are represented in the collection...

All in all, it's a fine piece, and having gotten this one and found it quite pleasing I very much want to get a couple more to complete a set. I may start trying to do just that, actually. Perhaps, for those collectors who do get multiples of this and wind up with the same MacGuffin assortments, we should start a new trading thread...

I received mine the other day as well. Mine has the crystal skull in it. I too would like to obtain the other two pieces.

Has anybody heard anything on the horse statue from Crusade? One website is listing August 29th as their arrival date and I noticed a couple of sellers on Ebay are now saying they ship out within 30 days. Just curious...

Gentle Giant Horse Statue

Has anybody seen any real photos posted yet of this? My credit card was just charged from Northside and I see where several Ebay accounts are now listing as in stock. Dying to see some shots of it! I guess I will see soon enough when I get it in a few days.

And has anyone in UK seen the Holy Grail here, or know where to order one from. None on eBay or Forbidden Planet's website.

I picked it up for a hundred and then they put it back to $250.00 a couple of days later. Get it at a $100.00 while you can, it's a GREAT collectible.
