Not only puny, but hard to find in the store. Even harder to find are the Wall-E toys. I don't understand why they don't have an Indy display up like they do for other "new" lines. I'm guessing there must be a requirement for them to keep that SpeedRacer stuff up. Has anyone noticed how much the Iron Man toys tapered off right before the movie came out, and they don't seem to be replenishing the figures anymore, just the Galactic Heroes sets. I would think the figures would stay popular for a few more weeks.

Will I ever find my single carded Marion? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

I just saw 2 of those Marions at Burbank Kay Bee Toys in the mall. This was a few minutes before closing. They should be there tomorrow when they open.

Speck, is there anything from Wall-E that you'd like stashed?

I guess Mattel must've paid TRU a ton of money for those huge displays.

I wanted to like Crystal Skull a lot but I just don't know...I regret having bought so many of the toys...like the Jungle Cutter for one. I would've been better served getting the Cargo Truck instead which I can't find anymore.

I saw the whole lot at TRU yesterday and don't really want any of it. I might buy the ultra R/C Wall-E later on, but we'll see.

i saw the truck w/gun in the back (cargo truck?) at your favorite ghetto fabulous Panorama Walmart yesterday. It was loose on the rack, to the left of the indy figs.

I didn't care for Indy 4, my review (mostly spoiler-free) was entitled "Indiana Jones and the Letdown of the Year". I gave it a 5/10 and even that feels a little generous. I'm thrilled I didn't buy any of the toys (sorry Figgy, you had your chance ;)).

I did find 3 Indy with Horse sets at Fry's, and bought one, but at $13 a pop it's not surprising they were there - the basics are $10 each as well, no Marions though.
