This week at TRU all 3.75" Indy figures (Basic and DLX) are "Buy 2, Get 1 Free". That works out to about $5 each for the basic figs, even better than the Target coupon price!
I was able to grab 3x German Soldier 2-packs today for just $21.28 - about $3.50 per fig! :)
-
Yep, by the time I got there they did not have much. I did pick up the required 2 figures and got another free. Nice deal.
-
I was able to take advantage of the sale yesterday. I've been buying figures a few at a time. Basically holding out for the best paintjobs I can find. And yesterday it paid off as I was able to pick a few figures up.
-
My TRU only had the sale on Basic figs. Not that it mattered though, they only had 6 pegs on an endcap dedicated to Indy. ???
-
Yeah, one TRU had about six figures on two pegs shoved between The Hulk and Batman.
-
TRU.com is sold out of almost everything but deluxe, so I ordered 4 Indy cycles a Temple swing trap, and an Indy/horse set, taking my chances on paintjobs on the Indy figures of course.
Basic figures I wanted were almost completely sold out, even Marion, and all $20 vehicles gone... :( I was gonna get 3 German 4WD's but not now. The truck was never even in the search for IJ stuff, so it was sold out before the sale I'm assuming.
-
I don't suppose shipping was free on TRU.com?
-
No, but I got all the above for $50, so it wasn't really terrible either, shipped to my door and w/tax also, so you really can't beat that right now...
4 German cycles
1 Swing trap
1 Indy/horse
That's $60 before tax and gas to the store... So $50 was a dream.
-
Target has their Indy toys on sale this week. 3.75" figures were $6.74 (I think), Deluxe $8.99, Whip and 12" $16.99 and the Galactic Heroes were marked down some also but I forgot to look at the price.
The games and Lego were also on sale but didn't pay close attention because I'm not picking them up.
I snagged a 12" Indy and Delxue German 2-pack.

Anyone waiting for this stuff to hit clearance at target before picking anything up?
-
Anyone waiting for this stuff to hit clearance at target before picking anything up?
Yes, I am. Several of the early basic figures I'm waiting on, mostly because I want the relics as much as the figurs :-\ If I thought I could take my Indy's back and be sure I'd get decent paint jobs at that time I'd do that as well. First two waves are plentiful locally.
-
I'm waiting on clearances so I can start to see wave 3 show up around here. How many Mutt Williams does one store need?
The ultimate peg warmer would be an Imperial officer with Mutt William's head.
-
My local WM lowered the price on singles to $5.44, so it might be a good idea to check at your local WM.

Who wants to army build $2 Mutts?

As pissed off at Target as I am (read the ToD wave thread), I'll still help out the collecting community that Target has such a problem with by reporting that Indy basic figures are on 'sale' for $7.03. Deluxe figures are on sale for $7.99, Titanium Series and Adventure Heroes are $5.89 each. Sale ends Saturday.
Target still sucks balls. >:(
-
Given that I just got into this yesterday, the sale at Target was nice for me. I was able to pick up 6 of the deluxe figures for $7.99 each.
-
I hit a few different Target stores today and the Indy prices were all over the map during this sale. I saw...
- figures on sale for $7.03 (20% off $8.79)
- figures on sale for $6.39 (20% off $7.99)
- figures on sale for $5.55 (20% off $6.94)
Three different stores, three different prices. ???
Target is usually pretty good about having standard prices at all their stores, but I guess that's not the case with Indy basic figures. Must have something to do with which stores have tons of stock to go thorugh or something I guess... strange.
-
There are Target stores charging $8.79 for Indy figures!?
-
Yep... :(
Needless to say, I don't buy anything there, but that's the price. Like I said, Target here in MN is all over the place, anywhere from $6.94 to $8.79 each. I now avoid certain Targets because they have higher prices on stuff...
-
That's insane. All the ones around here are 20% off of $7.99 at the moment.
Wal-Mart on the other hand is hit or miss. Some are $6.94, some are $5.44.
-
Looks like an early version of TRU's Black Friday Ad (http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/toys-r-us-big-toy-book-black-friday-ad.html) has hit the net:
Indiana Jones Electronic Sounds Whip - $16.99
Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Playset - $33.99
Indiana Jones Vehicle & 3 Figure Set - $34.99
Nothing too impressive, just thought I'd pass it on...
edit: upon closer review, even though it's on a Black Friday site, the linked ad apparently is just an upcoming TRU ad and not the "official" Black Friday ad... that's what I get for trusting stuff I read on the interwebs. ::)
-
That ad is actually TRU's big 2008 Gift Book or Wish Book or whatever it's called catalog. On the back page, there's a coupon that will get you a $10 gift card with a purchase of $75 or more.
So, you can go buy ten Mutt Williams figures and get a gift card, so you can get another Mutt, absolutely free! Hell of a deal.

SmallJoes.com (http://www.smalljoes.com/indiana-jones.shtml) has their Indy figures on sale again.

-
WMs up north have all indy figures down to $3 something, dlx at $4 and vehicles somewhere around $5 lol. I might pick up a few dlx packs I need but because of the low price on the dlx packs I dont see the Basic figures worth it anymore lol.
-
The paper today had a flier that has Indy figures on sale at KB Toys for I think $5.
-
Man if you guys find German Staff Cars and trucks for $5, drop me a note... I'd like 1 or 2 of each at that price. That's such a sweet set of vehicles I'd love to customize, but the tree cutter lame-o thing is all that's around here these days.

Add me to that list... I'd love to pick up the OT German vehicles and I've love to get them on the cheap.

all I saw today was 1 tree cutter, sorry guys. :-X

TRU stores and TRU.com is having a buy one get one FREE sale yesterday and today only.

My local Target went clearance price on the 3.75" line this week; $3.80. They also have the 12" on clearance for $10.98.
They even found a 12" talking Indy somewhere, we haven't had one of those in months. The rest were all Mutt figures, though.
The 3" line were mostly Mutt w/ Snake and Indy w/ Rocket Launcher but there were a couple German Soldiers, Monkey Man, Sallah and Belloq. I picked up the lone Young Indy on the shelf along with a German (can never have too many army builders).
No clearance on the vehicles, deluxe or Temple playset. But if they're jumping the gun 2 weeks before Christmas then you can bet they want to be rid of this line.

wow, do we shop at the same Target? Same thing here, price was right to finally get a Mutt w/Jackett-custom fodder.
-
Fodder is all I figure I'll be on the hunt for at Target... Some good Jedi and "random schmuck" fodder in that line... I'm hoping to get a couple Indy's to cobble together a couple Indy's we'll never get, like a decent Cairo Streets Indy. I'd like some more Arab goons and thugs too... The Germans aren't abundant here these days though so I'm not even thinking about army building. Nor are the Russians, which would be nice at a cheap price...
The Russian Soldier is cool, to me, because he and DOvchenko (of course) are actually very accurate to WOrld War 2 Russians... They, if you can get accurate weapons for them, make nice WW2 figures to go with my Germans, U.S. figures, etc. Unfortunately weapons are in short supply. The one Oktober Guard guy from GIJ has a Russian PPsh Sub Machine Gun, but that's about it. Anyway, a little work like a bed roll and stuff, and the Indy Russians are quite spiffy looking WW2 figures, so maybe I'll luck into some of those.
Overall though I'm just gonna look for fodder... I doubt I find much as Target's picked over here, but I'll check.
-
I think the vehicle prices were adjusted at Target from $21.99 to $19.99.

Since the clearance hit on the 3 and 12" figures my store has found 4 or 5 cases of the Last Crusade wave. I'm not sure if they were in the back or if more came on the truck. Either way, it would have been nice (for Target anyway) if they'd gotten them two months ago rather than keeping their 6-month old stock out.
Yesterday Target also set up a whole aisle of 30% off stuff (in some cases more than 30%) and what did they have? Two dozen 12" Indy figures for $10 each. All Indy, whip action Indy and Mutt. No Germans or Cairo Swordsman. I have no idea where they came from because we haven't seen an Indy in that store since June. Again, if they were sitting on them in the back, shame on Target, because the Indy figures at least would have sold before now, I'm sure.

The local Target knocked what's left of the Indy Titaniums down to $3.80 yesterday. Still no clearance on the Deluxe, vehicles or the Akator playset.
E...
-
Be on the lookout at your local TJ Maxx - they are blowing Indy out at 50%. I picked up the cargo truck (Cario) and they had gobs of TLC wave there, too.
-
What's their $50 off price on basic figs?
-
What's their $50 off price on basic figs?
$-40. Buy a Mutt w/Snake, and they'll give you $40! :D
-
No sales at all on Indy around Pittsburgh. Targets have not put anything on sale or clearance at all. Still the SOS on the pegs and shelves. Typical really considering that I don't think they've put out the Star Wars UBP's yet either. I kid you not at least some of the stores still had them in the back room last I checked. :)
The GIJ packs JUST got put out this weekend at my nearby Target... Lame? You betcha!
-
The Target Mulit-packs are on clearance now, $14.
-
Basic figs are $3.00 each at Wal-Mart. One I went to had deluxe for $7 and vehicles for $14 but another one I went to didn't. 12'' are $13 I believe. I don't collect the Adventure Heroes so I didn't see the prices.
-
Made a trip to K-Mart yesterday and saw Indy figs for $4.00 each.
-
All KB Toys are closing and have everything currently 50-percent off. I got a German and Russian soldier there the other day for a combined $1 and change after using up a gift card I had.
-
I don't know if anyone else is seeing this at their local stores, but the TRU near me put up an endcap of Indy figures yesterday for 4.98 each. All they had were gobs of the ROTLA and KOTCS waves, but they had pretty much everyone from those waves in abundance.
My only hope is that Hasbro liquidates the TOD figures and they show up at TRU eventually. :-\
-
I picked up 4 German Soldier tonight at Wal-Mart for $1 each 8). I think I want to melt a couple of there faces.... the ark has been opened afterall.
-
I got 15 or so figures tonight for $1 each. Good deal. Mostly Mutt's available but I got 4 Germans, some Cairo Swordsman, a Belloq, and such. I grabbed some jacketless Mutts because they're cool fodder, and I got the last whipping Indy (last figure I needed, refused to pay more than $1, mission accomplished) and Ugha Warrior too. No Russian Soldiers, no Cemetary Warriors, no Marions, no Monkey men. I really was hoping to get some of the above except for Marion, but those all dried up here quickly! It was surprising those weren't available for clearance at all here.
Ironically they had Germans with motorcycles, a figure I couldn't find for along time... They were still $7.
Anyhoo, the stockpile is awesome but I haven't a clue what all of it is gonna be used for.
-
I found a pile of $1 figures at our local WM too, but it was all the two versions of Mutts (probably 7-8 of each) and 1 Belloq. I was sort of hoping to pick up some others as well, but wasn't necessarily interested in these. I'm really happy that we got the figures we did, and I enjoy the Indy collection, but its amazing how quickly this line fizzled out. Heck, there's still a section for the crappy 5" Dark Knight figures (granted the movie is/was uber popular), but the Indy stuff is long forgotten. On the other side of things though, it seems like the LEGO sets are still going strong.

Jesse,
Can I get one of the artifacts from the Mutt without jacket (or with snake) from you? That's the only figure I couldn't bring myself to get, but I wouldn't mind having the artifact to complete the set.
-
No problem... PM me your addy again Brent, and I'll try to mail it to you asap.
-
I saw two pegs overflowing with Mutt w/snake in the clearance section at Target yesterday.
-
I missed out on a bunch of $1 German soldiers at my local WM. Matter of fact, someone cleared out everything but Mutt and a couple Young Indy figures at that price. But tonight I stopped by another WM store and found some Ugah Warriors and picked up five of those, a Monkey Man, Cairo Swordsman and Sallah and paid $0.02 more than for one Star Wars figure. :P
Left a bunch of Mutt figs at that store along with one or two Sallah figures and a Swordsman. So, basically, all that's really left locally are a bunch of Mutt figures. Although my local store has two Deluxe Indy w/ Ark figures for $7. I'm tempted to pick up another one of those just to have the Ark and the Indy for a headswap. Maybe Monday when I stop in there.

Big Lots is getting IJ stuff, including some TOD I hear, though my local one only had TLC figures... $4 a piece and vehicles were $10. I bought yet another soft top truck at that price.
I'm going to scour the BL's near me to see what else I can find. I'd love some Thuggee army builders.
-
Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have to stop on the way home tonight just on the chance of scoring some TOD figures.
E...
-
No Indy figs at Big Lots but TJ Maxx is right next door so I stopped in there and found one German 2-pack for $6.99 so I picked it up for the hell of it. Unless that TOD wave pops up locally that should be the last Indy purchase I make.
E...
-
Cool. We have a lot of Big lots around here. I'll check them out.
-
And sure enough, I walked into Big Lots and picked up my Elsa. Thanks a ton!
-
So I mosied on into a second Big Lots tonight and got another canvas top truck... This store had a TON of stuff though. They had probably 3 full sets of TLC figures, 2 trucks, 2 cutters, and almost all the Deluxe. The only Deluxe Set I didnt' see was the German w/cycle. I bought a German 2 pack, thug 2-pack, and the truck...
I saw the Indy traps sets, horse w/Indy, Ark w/Indy... They didn't have Marion/Thug either, come to think of it, but that was it. They had lots of TLC figures, a few Raider Indy figures, and that was it, but they had a LOT.
I've heard TOD figures were maybe found somewhere, so keep an eye out I guess. I'd like a couple Thuggee extras and another Mola Rahm if I can nab one, so those are my goals right now if I get to other BL stores.
-
Hey Jesse, what's the price on the Deluxe figure sets at BL?
E...
-
$6 per... Like I said, I saw just about all of them. I didn't see Marion/Thug, Mutt w/Bike, and German w/Bike. I did see thug 2-pack, German 2-pack, all the temple traps, Indy w/horse, and Indy w/Ark.
Again I only saw TLC figures and older stuff, no TOD. I'm bummed on that, as I have heard one report of TOD figures showing up, and I'd love more Thuggees and an extra of Mola/Indy.
-
I checked out Big Lots today and walked out with an extra Vogel to sell and my second cloth top truck. I have a couple other Big Lotses nearby so hopefully I'll get around to checking those out and maybe finding some TOD stuff. I sure hope so, since it'd be great to have a couple more Thuggees, especially at $4 each. :)
-
I stopped in our local Big Lots this weekend just to check things out, and they didn't have Indy stuff at all that I could find. Maybe they are just a little behind, or I just missed them, that store is somewhat of a mess. No big deal, but I thought I might pick up some extras here and there if they were on the cheap.
-
One of the Big Lots in my area had a lot of the TLC wave.
3 - Henry Sr.
1 - Vogle
5-6 - Young Indy
5-6 - Indy w/machine Gun
4-5 - Grail Knights
-
Are you listing TLC wave in addition to the TOD wave, or did you mean the TLC wave?
-
I managed to track down a Grail Knight at BigLots the other day. I was really hoping to find the TOD wave since I haven't been able to track down anything from that wave just yet. I still haven't seen an Elsa either.
-
Are you listing TLC wave in addition to the TOD wave, or did you mean the TLC wave?
Sorry, was suppose to be TLC not TOD.
-
For anyone interested, BBTS has a "pre Black Friday" sale going on until next Tuesday, and all their Indy stuff is 30% off from what I can see. I don't know if there is much there that interests anyone, but this covers Hasbro, Gentle Giant, etc.
-
Entertainment Earth has cases of the first (ROTLA) wave for $20 and the Sallah/Short Round Mighty Muggs set for $11.
http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?spotlight=1429

It goes without saying, but it would be nice if the Temple of Doom wave made it to such a great deal.
-
Indiana Jones ornaments at Hallmark are 60% off (should be everywhere) this week, and for those of you still wanting to make your Indy displays cooler, the Indy figure is to-scale to the action figures more or less. He can be pryed off the base with the fertility idol, and so you have a very detailed and nice fertility idol base with an electroplated idol, that plays music, for $7.50.
I bought one and it really nicely replaces the Hasbro set which lacked the crispness of the ornament.
Just my personal opinion but I enjoy it a lot.
-
All our Hallmark stores won't put these on sale locally as these are considered collectibles. :'(
-
No ****? That sucks.
LMK if you want one, and if I see one I can nab it for you Brent.
Locally ornies tend to get gobbled up as soon as they hit 50%, which is usually the week following Christmas. I was really hoping to get some others on sale because of the prices but I missed the duel one I wanted, and for some odd reason Robby the Robot was all gone. WTF?
Anyway PM me if you're wanting one and I'll try to get one for you while I'm out or I'll ask Diane to nab one since she's near the mall and probably there is one or two left there. They were like $7.50 I think at 60% off.
-
Well it turns out I was able to get one at 50% off after all ($12 and taxes here). The rules are apparently that only ornaments that fall into specific "Series" are included in the no sale rule. Indy didn't meet that criteria, nor did the Trek ornaments and stuff like that. Star wars ornaments do fit that and the box actually has the word "Series" right on it so you can differentiate. So Palpatine was there, but not on sale, while I could have bought a tricorder with no problem. Wacky. But it was nice to get the Indy ornament. Thanks for the offer of the assist Jesse.
-
Not a problem! Glad you got one, it's pretty slick.
