    Default Indiana Jones Toys sightings

    Target stores have started to stock the Indiana Jones toys.

    The regular action figures are $15 which is very pricey compared to the size and play value of a same priced Basic/Scout Transformer.

    The Lego has also appeared in Target and K-Mart.

    So far in the action figures only the first wave of toys has appeared. I've got an eye out for the jacket-less Shia LeBouef figure from a later wave (so I can have a Sam Witwicky toy ).

    The lego has been around at every toy store for the last month or so. It's pretty cool.

    It probably was. I noticed a few newer ones lately though in the last few weeks. The bike one and the whole "temple scene" look cool.

    Yeah, I saw these yesterday. I like them, but I wish the Indy figure looked more like Harrison Ford (like the VOTC Han Solo did). But I'll probably pick up one or two when they're on sale!

    (After seeing Iron Man the other day - I really loved it - I'm thinking of picking up a few of those figs too! My TF collecting may suffer a little)

    Man, This Indy promotion has gone into overdrive!

    TRU Liverpool has a massive display dedicated to Indy figures, Lego, Robot Heroes as well as that sound-effects whip.

    TRU Liverpool was also the first time I've seen this Indy with Horse on the shelves:

    Didn't think of that!

    I saw the figures at Target this morning when I went to buy Wii Fit.

    Only toy I'd get (and I have bought) is the Lego Motorcycle Chase. It's lovely.

    The early reviews have begun for the movie and they are not positive. I can't say that I am surprised.

    The criticisms are that its very formulaic, has way over the top cartoony action and filled with so much CGI that its almost like the Star Wars prequels all over again. Basically your typical 21st Century Hollywood movie more motivated by marketing trends than telling a good story.

    There is also something else that fully rubbed me the wrong way...I was going to post but I edited out, its too much of a spoiler even if its horrible.

    you sure Kup? I thought the rule about Dr Jones films was that they wanted to keep it real, with no cgi etc, all stuntmen

    Anyway, if anyone buys a Dr Jones and Shia LaBouef figures could you please review em, or can anyone suggest which figures i should look for, like most movie acccurate and for Labouef more tf movie accurate
