New pics today, so I'm using that as an excuse to spin these off into their own thread -
Reminder - Wave 1 - Raiders of the Lost Ark

I am so excited for these. Always wanted Indy toys as a kid (subbed in Han many a time), but I don’t know that I was even aware of them in small town USA. I’m all in for these, and it is exciting to see new figures/characters added in.
-
Okay I am in on Retro Indy now. ;D
I remember as a kid in Summer 1984 really really contemplating the TOD figures from LJN, but ultimately passing because they didn't match the scale of the Kenner Indy collection I already had. If this Indy and Shorty were there I would have bought them for sure ( instead of starting a new line, because instead that day I bought a Laserbeak / Frenzy 2-pack and became a Transformers kid virtually overnight!)
And as for TLC Indy and Henry, those are the only 2 figures I bought in the 2008 line, so they can retire now.
-
Hasbro had the first Indy figure up for preorder. Do the rest of these fall under the "we are no longer doing preorders" category? I haven't found anything in a store in ages. Hasbropulse only has the first Indy listed. My check out good old EE. That is where I get all the Marvel retro figures. Nothing on amazon yet either.
-

It sounds like Wave 2 stuff will be store exclusives (mostly Target it seems). And yes, they seem to be following the new "maybe not so many pre-orders" thing Hasbro is doing to force people into retail stores I guess.
-
Looking at some of these? I might just go in on the IJ Retro Collection.
-
They are hooking me as well. I never collected Marvel stuff before, but I'm all in on the Marvel retro line. I had a bunch of the vintage Indy figures back in the day and I've preordered the first Indy figure. Even though the preorder thing seems to be mishandled a lot of the time, I much prefer on-line ordering to fruitless toy hunts in the stores. All my marvel retro figures are on-line purchases. With the exception of a very few figures, all my Star Wars retro figures are on-line orders. It is just much easier these days to go the on-line route.
-
Collecting vintage Indiana Jones has always been on my to-do list... I think I'm going to just collect these and hope they hit the highlights and save a ton of money.

Hi there,
We are excited to now offer the Indiana Jones Retro Collection Indiana Jones figure at the lower price of $11.99 on Hasbro Pulse, in line with similar figures from other Hasbro product lines. Due to the nature of the Hasbro Pulse pre-order system, the only way to honor the new price was to cancel existing pre-orders - your original form of payment will not be charged. At this time, we invite fans to re-order at the new, lower price here.
We appreciate the continued support and enthusiasm for the Hasbro Indiana Jones brand and cannot wait to share details on our new and upcoming products this year.
Thank you for being a fan!
Hasbro Pulse

I’m shocked at the price decrease! But this lines up with something I heard recently about “customer first” instead of “product first”. This was an edict from the CEO of Hasbro during a corporate conference call. He acknowledged the poor Q4 sales numbers and said that they were shifting their philosophy. Maybe this is a first step?
-
I’m shocked at the price decrease!
Ditto. They aren't even out yet and there's a $3 price drop? Crazy. Hard to tell if this is a good thing like Nick said (customer first) or a bad thing (where pre-orders are so low at $15 they are getting ahead of things with a pre-release clearance price).
I'll tell you though that I'm much more interested in these at $12 each than I was at $15 each.
-
I have to wonder if Hasbro saw a direct correlation between their price increases and a drop in sales? And perhaps that's why they decided to move in the direction of laying off staff in order to cut costs? That might have been necessary in order to make price decreases a possibility.
I'm getting more and more interested in the new Indiana Jones offerings. But it has me looking to break out my 3.75" figures from back in 2008, and wishing that Hasbro would have continued in that direction and built upon that foundation. And when I think back to my vintage Kenner IJ figures I will always remember that damn broken thumb on Indy! But then the playsets were pretty awesome.
-
I saw some of these on the pegs today at Target. :D
-
I'm surprised as well, but they haven't listed anything yet besides the one Indy figure they had. EE has the rest of the wave for $14.99 a figure.
-

Were they at the $12 price or the $15 price at Target?
-
I saw one each of Indy, Marion, and Belloq on two separate trips to Target this week. Also a couple of the Worlds of Adventure kids line sets. They seem to be stocked next to the Marvel Legends, but no shelf tags as of yet. (Belloq was hanging out on a shelf at the end of a preschool aisle.)
I bought the Retro figures, I couldn't resist. They were all $14.99 at the register.
I never had Belloq when I was a kid, I don't think I understood him as a villain back then. Toht and Cairo Swordsman I could grasp.
-
I saw the Retro figures in the story yesterday. I liked the look of them, but at $15 I was really put off.
-

I think they were $14.99? They were set up next to the Joes.
-
I was able to pick up the retro figures at Target last week as well. Those cards are sure neat to see. I kind of missed this line as a kid, and to be honest I don’t know that I was even aware of it because I know I would have wanted at least the Indy. Our store had some of the kiddo stuff too, the whip, and one of the 12” Indy figures. No sign of the Adventure Series, although Amazon claims my Indy is on the way Monday.
-
Looks like other retailers haven’t adjusted their prices to match Pulse on these. I canceled my Amazon order to save the $3.
Is it weird that these are showing up in stores and Pulse never put the rest up?
-
My retro Indy showed up yesterday from Amazon (at the $15 price point).
-
I picked up a lone Indy at Target and they are down to $11.99
-
Oh awesome. That'll make it easy to just buy them when I see them.
-
Amazon has lowered the price of Indy to $11.99 now, too. And has him back up for orders to ship next weekend. None of the other Retros are listed yet, though.

I was at Target this morning, and I also saw the price adjustment to $11.99 each. But they only had Marion, so I passed.
I also happened to notice that the peg tag for Star Wars Vintage Collection figures now reads $12.99!

Thanks for the links, I grabbed the last couple I needed! I couldn't find them thus morning for whatever reason!
-
I ordered them from Pulse about 4 hours ago and already got a shipping notice. That's by far the fastest I've ever had that happen with Pulse.
-
Pulse has them at the $11.99 price point as well. Got my Indy from them this week and just dumped my EE preorder and switched to Pulse. I never thought I would see figure prices going down.

*reminder that this one is Amazon/Fan Channel, the rest of the shown TOD figures (Indy, Short Round) and TLC figures (Henry Sr., Sallah) are supposed to be Target exclusives.
-
The pricing being all over the place is getting super old. I suppose if it’s fan channel I’ll order one on Amazon now with these links. Thanks Jeff!
-
I saw the Wave Two figures at Target yesterday…
-
Just got my Last Crusade Retro Indy and he doesn't have a tie. He's essentially the exact same thing as the Raiders Indy, but with a Grail instead of a Whip.
Do we know if that's intentional or not?
The bubble also popped off of the card in shipping, so it's POSSIBLE that someone switched them, but I don't know why anyone would bother or why Amazon would have mailed me one that wasn't attached. Maybe if the Bubble was attached this would be a relatively interesting error... the card is a Last Crusade card.
-
No tie = not the figure promised. God, this is why I hate buying online...mine is supposed to be here today.
This figure is also supposed to include the satchel. Was there a satchel along with the grail?
-
The bubble also popped off of the card in shipping
I have heard from a few folks that the bubbles on the Target Short Round is really weak as well and some are popping off in Target stores. Not great.
Very disappointing on the lack of a tie for TLC Indy. Hoping they fix that with a running change or I'll likely just be skipping that one.
-
I have seen in hand pictures of the TLC Indy with the tie having been purchased in store. So it's not a whole line problem thus far, but it's been reported a few times already that the ROTLA Indy is showing up on the TLC card (or with the card, since they all also report that the bubble came off in shipping) when preordered from Amazon.
I am concerned about the satchel being missing too, since all photos I have seen have it draped over the figures in the package...and if the wrong Indy is getting slapped into the bubble in the factory, then that satchel might be missing as well.
Mine, ordered from Amazon, can't get here fast enough to resolve the stitch in my side this afternoon! :)
Update: mine just arrived...bubble, tie and satchel all where they were supposed to be. It's puzzling...
-
All this tracks with what I got… I already returned it and am waiting on a replacement. Hopefully it’s correct. I didn’t think to take a photo… but I don’t think it had a satchel. Must have just been a straight up regular Indy on this card. I kind of wish the bubble was attached, someone might have wanted the error…
-
My TLC Indy just arrived from Amazon. I got the right figure, but the bubble was totally detached from the card. Luckily none of the accessories were lost from the tray.
Amazon has got to pack these a little better, and Hasbro needs to not be so cheap on their packaging design. It reminds me of The Black Series 3.75" figures where the bubbles would just fall off the card.
-
This is on Hasbro. I don't believe I've seen a Short Round at Target that doesn't have a detached bubble.
-
My replacement Last Crusade Indy got here just now... it's correct with the Tie and Satchel.
The bubble was half attached and popped off just from looking at it.
-
Just a heads up that Target has the TOD Indy and Short Round on their website finally. I haven't seen any at my local Target so I'm glad this option finally showed up. Hopefully I can get Henry and Sallah the same way. I'm guessing after those two, this will be it for this line.
-
Dallas and Henry Senior are up on Target’s website now too.
-
The Target by me is already marking these down to $6.
-
Since it sounds like Indy is pretty much over, I have to say I am really really surprised that we didn't get a Retro Dial of Destiny wave. I figured this was going to go like Star Wars where new media got a retro wave, but I guess they used their "new wave" Retro tooling dollars on a safer bet for old men collectors (TOD Indy, ShortRound; TLC Indy, Sr., Sallah).
Really bummed that there are NO 3.75" figures for Dial of Destiny (SA or Retro). Oh well. I guess I am glad KOTCS came out at the high point of 3.75" collecting at Hasbro so at least I have some great figures from the first 4 movies. :-\
-
I was mostly hoping they could have finished out the original line… or gotten closer. I guess collecting the old ones is back on my to do list.
-
So my little folder of images I use as a checklist has this Temple of Doom Retro Indiana Jones, but I don't have one and don't have a pre-order for it and am not sure what the deal is. Was this canceled, or did it come and go and I missed it? They're all over eBay so I'm guessing I just goofed?

They came and went at the same time as Short Round. He was plentiful in my area for a few weeks, then clearanced and gone. Still waiting for Henry and Sallah to show up in stores in these parts.

Like Muftak said, came and went back in June. Still on the Target website though -

Oh weird, I looked and didn't see it.
I bought one on eBay for $17, so I'm out a few extra bucks but it's done.
-
WTH????
Last week I caved - I tried to buy the retro collection Henry Jones Sr, but it was register locked so I couldn’t buy it. Went to Target this morning and saw him again along with the Last Crusade Sallah and was surprised to see them priced differently. Senior was $14.99 and Sallah was $11.99. Why?!?!

Got these both from a Target pre-order this week. They were priced differently online too.
-
My Henry Sr. got here in the mail two days ago... Sallah is today I think. And yeah, weird that Henry is $14.99 and Sallah is $11.99. I miss the good old days where a figure cost X and a deluxe figure cost Y and that was that.
