Anyone else get their Indy pushed back after it was moved up? I'm a little worried the next email will be the "canceled" one and you can't pre-order it from Amazon any more.

Yes, mine was moved up to tomorrow, then now moved back to April 9th. Had my hopes up, really looking forward to this figure. Seems like many feel the same way, as it seems Indy is pre sold out a few places but none of the others are. If I were a smarter person I’d wait it out on the rest because they will likely be discounted by year end. But my love of the Indy franchise probably won’t allow me to wait 

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.

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.

Feel like you should add a Stormtrooper to that list though 😉

Yeah... a Stormtrooper to stand by Vader would be nice... actually two so one can stand on each side.  And maybe Tarkin to go with Vader, the Stormies and Leia for a little ANH DS scene...   

See how easy it all starts to go downhill?  I better just skip that Stormtrooper for now...  #slipperyslope #staystrong

Too true. Fair enough, admire your strength and look forward to seeing the set up.

As I’ve said the past 5 years or more, hopefully buying less this year. I sold off a ton of stuff last year, but was surprised how much crap stuff I still have. Just collect too many things. I’ve really tried to consider each purchase and whether or not I’ll actually display it or if it is just going in a tote. Still the same main two for me (plus one bonus):

Star Wars - similar to others, basically all in on anything new (or significantly improved) from TVC. Still my favorite Star Wars. Vehicles/playsets as well, particularly if it is OT or Mando related (although I am finding it is tough for me to display those). I took a similar stance as others with Black Series. Sold off half and have become very selective going forward. OT and select other ones that catch my eye. Just a little fatigue setting in there personally, although I do still like much of what they are putting out.

Marvel Legends - Definitely what I’ve gotten the most of the past few years. I really like what they do in this line, and have a lot of fun collecting it. That being said, they put out a lot and I should really tone this down a bit. I just don’t have the space. Great stuff though, really like when they get classic comic booky with the vibrant colors and looks I remember from growing up.

GI Joe Classified - Honestly this line is kind of killing it, particularly last year. Rarely a stinker, and they took a lot of the feedback from the first couple waves and went with more an “classic but updated” aesthetic. It really works. Slower pace than other lines, which is nice.

I’ll also be in on Indy, so we’ll see how much we get. Everything else has wound down, I’ve finished what I want, or I’m dropping and/or waiting for sales. Pretty much done with Transformers unless something astounding comes along, feel pretty good about MOTU Origins and they’ve covered most of what I want…maybe the odd figure here or there. Super 7 is kind of pricing me out. Pretty much gave up on reaction because of price and sold much of what I had. I had been complete with TMNT Ultimates, but that has stopped and now I’m being patient with any others I want. I’d like to finish the core Thundercats team, and it is wait and see with any other of their licensees. Like the figures, but out of my budget. Couple other odds and ends like the NECA Alf figure. Things would be so much easier if I only collected one of these lines, I’m a dummy. 🙂

Any info on the new retro figures?  I have seen something about the presentation crashing, but have seen Doctor Doom and Ghostrider with motorcycle.  Surprisingly nothing really showing up with google searches on either one and definitely nothing about preorders.

I’m pretty sure Doom and the Ghost Rider set were the only things shown, and both look pretty great.

As for Legends overall, I thought it was another good showing for the Marvel team at Pulse Con. Lots of focus coming for the X-Men in the coming year (60th coming up), which is pretty rad. Looks like the VHS line is adding Cyclops, then switching to Spider-Man next year which is great to me. Also some long requested things in there like Molecule Man, so good stuff on the way! I’ve mentioned it before, but between the number of releases and excitement pumped into the line, Legends is probably my number one line these days. Lots of new stuff pretty regularly, and hopefully it is easy to get ahold of.

This is what I was most excited for today, and I wasn’t disappointed. A regular TVC style 3 3/4” line would have been nice, but it isn’t surprising. I only have a vintage Indy, with no whip, so I am allll in for the retro line. The Adventure Series looks fantastic, can’t wait. I honestly always just hoped we would get a very nice 6” Indy, so getting any other characters is just gravy. As was mentioned though, I’m really going to have to look at where my collecting funds will go in the coming year. Prices climbing, more collector focused stuff than ever, hard choices have to be made.
