Happy Hunting guys!
I just picked up about $150.00 worth of Indiana Jones toys. I got the Troop Car, and several single packs and 3 of the deluxe packs (that is all Target had).
I bumped into another guy who was collecting and he actually gave me a couple of the figures he had, as he already had them. So that was very cool. This is kind of an early b-day present to myself. I'll take pictures tonight.
I also refinanced my house today...signed the official papers..so I knocked my 30 year note down to 15 years and am paying the same payment. And we just bought a 2008 Audi A5. The same one that is supposedly in the new Iron Man movie, which we are going to see tomorrow.
Whoohoo! '

I picked up Salvage today. No Stealth Bumblebee, though. I also got all the other basic Indy figures, except for the Colonel and I got the Cargo truck, so the vehicles are complete for now. I also picked up The Target Exclusive all Spark Bumblebee in teh tube packaging...man are these guys hard to find. THey have all the others in abundance, but Bublebee seems to be short packed. I also picked up the Dark Knight Movie Masters Gotham City THug and Batman. I also picked up the smaller scale Destructo Case The Joker and Staff Strike Batman. All in all a pretty good haul today.

Today I picked up Secret of the Sword. All I can say is good luck getting it at retail. I went to 3 Best Buy's today. The first one received no copies, the second one they sent me to could not locate the 2 they got in stock, and finally the third store held one for me. They only got 2. Out of all the Best Buys in Houston only 6 got any stock. All but one of the 6 store got 2 copies each and the I-10/Bunkerhill location got 3 copies. Target is not carrying it, Wal-Mart doesn't have it and I am not sure about Circuit City...but you can order it on line with no problems at all if you don't mind paying for shipping. I am not sure how Best Buy's site to store works, if the store does not have it in stock.
I also picked up the last single pack I needed that is currently out for Indiana Jones - Colonel Dovchenko and then Movie Masters Joker and the chase unmasked Batman.
I also did the site to store Indiana Jones/Horse Deluxe pack. They have it listed wrong on Wal-Mart.com. They have it as a 12" figure with horse for $9.67, but it should be deluxe. So here's the funny thing.....Wal-Mart isn't even selling Indiana Jones figures in it's stores right now (only the Lego sets), but you can go to Wal-Mart.com and buy it online and have it shipped to the store....now how is that for contradictions.....

Jay...I gotta say - those figures look absolutely nothing like Indiana Jones. Did you pick up the 12" figures? Indy looks closer to Fedora (the character - not the hat) from Last Crusade than he does Harrison Ford. All that said - it is cool that they have that 3 3/4 line. I assume they'll get a good amount of figures released over the course of the trilogy. I picked up 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 1 today. Something is brewing on the CK front.... ![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/popcorn.gif)

This morning I picked up a Stealth Bumblebee and Indiana Jones with the Horse. THe horse is grey, so I am hoping there is a white version somewhere. I am not so fond of the grey.

Glad we don't have emissions here, but the ZX2 is proven to pass even without the catalytic converter. Whats holding up the Saturn?
