IndianaJonesShop Launches April 1st

And no, this isn't an April Fool's joke -- IndianaJonesShop.com, the new online store for all things Indy, will be offering scores of new exclusives and products when it opens its virtual doors in one week -- mark your calendars now!!!

Why, you ask, should you show up for IndianaJonesShop's grand opening? Because a bunch of limited exclusives will be posted on opening day, with 10% knocked off all products between 12:01 am EST and 8:59 pm EST! Not only that, there's a special gift with purchases over $100 while supplies last (more on that in a moment). But like all things Indy, you just gotta check out what's (literally) in-store for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

While StarWarsShop has offered a limited selection of Indiana Jones wares over the past year, you've now got a retail destination for all things Indy -- no need to search through riff-raff to locate those Indy treasures!

IndianaJonesShop.com will be launching with over 100 products, adding new items every week. There's no doubt about it -- IndianaJonesShop is the new home of Indy products -- exclusives, vintage, new, and imported!

In addition to a 10% discount on all Indy products opening day, orders totaling $100 and over will receive a vintage issue of Marvel's original Indiana Jones comic book series for free. A fresh stash of these were recently discovered within Lucasfilm's own Licensing Archives, and were set aside exclusively for this launch event.

Here's a little bit of what you can expect to find when IndianaJonesShop launches April 1st:

Shared Exclusive Gentle Giant Bronze Indy on Horse Statue
Authentic vintage Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984 theatrical posters (both the Style "A" and Style "B")
Exclusive Crystal Skull Theatrical Poster
Exclusive T-Shirts and Accessories
Shared Exclusive Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide Collectors Edition
LEGO Indiana Jones Sets
Full line of new Hasbro Indiana Jones action figures and toys
Kotobukiya Collectible ARTFX Statues
...and much, MUCH more!

Don't be counted a fool April 1st -- make sure your browser is locked to IndianaJonesShop.com anytime between 12:01 am EST and 8:59 pm EST to get the launch-day discount and free gift while supplies last!

So evidently they feel confident they can cram a lot of product down consumers throats for the long haul.

[Darth Waller]

Lucas never met a floodgate he didn't like.

[Mando]

Curious. Do you think Hyperspace members will get their discount at Indyshop? I mean, it goes to same place!:D

[The Josh]

I hope so. For once I'm glad Lucas is trying to be so brazen with things because I am looking forward to having some cool Indy Products.

[lcummins]

I just want to know how much the Bronze Indy on horse will be... that is the only thing I'm really interested in, and the one thing I can't afford! :monkey2

You're just realizing this now? The minute I heard a new Indy movie was coming I knew. The state of Star Wars collectibles over the last few years is rediculously over-saturated and it was only a matter of time before Lucasfilm killed another property...

Darth Waller, what were you thinking starting up an Indy thread??? Are you trying to take the food out of Irish's children's mouths?... This is his livelihood-- He MUST start Indy threads and only him...

There can be only one.:monkey3

My mistake was actually NOT creating a new thread for this a few days ago (and witness the usual +++++ing and moaning), instead posting it in the "Calendar" thread. I can't win for losing. :lol

Oh I know, but I wasn't sure if a new Indy was enough to warrant a website... thats more long haul that slash and burn.

[Bannister]

I just ordered the Two Temple of Doom posters just to be on the safe side. If they are still available on the 1st(which I am sure they will), I will cancel this order and re-order with the 10% discount.

That would be it.

There are ways around that if you really want more. That place is not exactly tough on their limitations like Sideshow.

If anything, what's everyone buying tonight?

I'm probably gonna get a few Hasbro guys and maybe one of the posters. Looking forward to seeing everything that's available.

[IrishJedi]

Well, the main thing I wanted was the Collector's Edition of "The Ultimate Guide" (because they'll only have 200 copies of that total). But I already secured that via SWS, so I'll just take a casual "wait and see" attitude when the IndyShop launches.

Is that a different version than the one they currently have listed? The current one is limited to 500 copies.

It's 500 copies TOTAL, but Diamond/Previews is alloted 300 of those and Lucasfilm 200.

Ah... "shared exclusive" makes more sense now!!! :rotfl

[tomandshell]

Site's up but slow as can be, and it won't let you check out. I'm getting a lot of error messages.

[Lord Aykroyd]

Same here - do you think we need to wait another hour? (to 12 am EST)

[tomandshell]

That sounds pretty likely--I guess I'll check back in another 45 minutes or so...

:o

[Lord Aykroyd]

hmmm... And there's no add to cart option for the bronze gg statue :rolleyes:

[tomandshell]

hmmm... And there's no add to cart option for the bronze gg statue :rolleyes:

So it already sold out, or else they are holding some back until the announced opening time.

I just went to take a look at that, and it is quite a nice book!

I went ahead and ordered.

[tomandshell]

It let you check out? It's not letting me...

(And it's pretty dumb that you can't just use your Star Wars Shop account.)

[Lord Aykroyd]

well I was able to get through to the end of the ordering procedure- but they dont yet apply the discount. I guess Ill be waiting until 12.

I just want to grab one of those original style a ToD posters.

[Lord Aykroyd]

You can use your hyperspace membership discount if you have one though (I dont :()

[Mando]

I'm not seeinga lot of "IN Stock" merchandise. Unless it's waiting until after 12:00. Most of it is preorders. Why launch a shop that 90% preorders?

[The Josh]

Yeah, getting site issues. No worries will order some stuff tomorrow.

I like that Indy Mighty Muggs.

That's awesome!

[Vader AL]

might get the Original Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Style 'B' One-Sheet....or maybe the "A" style...decisions, decisions.

[Batty]

I just want the Ultimate Guide. For now I can even log in.

[lcummins]

Everything else has an "Add to cart" button, but the bronze doesn't... maybe it is sold out. And the site is officially open at 12:01 EST, so it's open!

and DAVE is an s.o.b.!!!! what an awesome April Fool's....fooled us like 3 times! :rotfl:lol:rotfl

I ordered mine over the weekend... wasn't taking any chances! And yes, I quit GG, but this will be my last piece... maybe... hopefully... yes, this is the last! :banghead

Go to the actual product page. It has the add to cart there.

[lcummins]

Yeah, it does now, but not at first.

[misbitski]

Add to cart appears and disappears randomly. Just keep refreshing. I scored one on this page:

http://shop.indianajones.com/catalog/category.xml?category_id=408184

10% discount works. Ordered the statue and the guide book.

[Bannister]

Yeah, it does now, but not at first.

I clicked on it when it didn't have it and it was on the actual product page. The main page just had the more info button, but when I clicked on it and got to the actual product page the add to cart was there.

[icruise]

Their prices for a lot of stuff are higher than normal. The Adventure Heroes figures, for example, are $9.99 on the IndianaJonesShop site, and $5.99 on the HasbroToyShop site, and that's what they will be in stores. The same seems true of the regular action figures. Of course the selection is better on IndianaJonesShop, but I would research the prices of things before buying. Even with the 10% discount, you may not be getting a great deal on some items.

[galactiboy]

What?!? The official shop price gouging... perish the thought :rotfl

[tomandshell]

The Mighty Muggs are $12.99 at Star Wars Shop and $9.99 in stores and at Hasbro Toy Shop.com.

And Star Wars Shop has some of the worst shipping rates I've ever seen. The Indy Shop has naturally inherited them.

[KrisSolo]

Hmmm.. anyone else noticed that the discount hasn't been applied in the confirmation email total you get? When I checked out of the site it showed the amount to pay minus the 10% discount, but my email states the full price (though the discount shows above tha total...).

[tomandshell]

I didn't get a confirmation e-mail...

:(

[KrisSolo]

:duh :mad: :banghead

:D

[DarthNeil]

The bronze Indy with horse looks good but I'll save that $$ for the SSC PF (just around the corner :D).

[The Josh]

Was curious if the schools network would let me look at the Indy shop and nope so I'll have to wait again till I get home.

[choopie]

Well, I missed the Mighty Muggs. :( Oh well. I'll wait until other places put them up for pre-order. The only thing I ordered was the ACME character key.

[doesitmatter]

The prices aren't great even with the discount. No Sideshow or Medicom and very few items seem to ship this month. I'll just wait until most of this hits retail.

[The Josh]

The Mighty Mugs was showing out of stock last night too I believe.

Yeah, and what's with the 40% increase on the last couple of character keys??? People complain about Sideshow's prices going up, but these things went from $25 to $35 in one (ok, maybe two) hit(s)!!! They were good at $25, but now I have to really stop and think about it at $35! I think they killed their sweet spot where people don't think about, but just order it.

I noticed that too, which is why I'm backing off on the keys. Indy is the only one I wanted, so I'll take the price increase to get it. I did think about collecting the line, but now, not at $35 a pop.

I like the keys too. First it was the maquettes and now the keys. Another fun line I have to back off on now because of the price increases.

[BadMoon]

Does anyone know where I can buy the desk accessories? I really want them.

Aren't they exclusives this year? SDCC I would guess... Irish will know!

[choopie]

Hmmm...it says they are backordered. I'm half tempted to order Indy and take my chances of having my ordered filled when it's in stock.

[IrishJedi]

The Crate paperweight (with the 3 blind chase artifacts variations) is the 2008 Con Exclusive. The others should just be straight retail products. They are:

Paperclip Holder (Grail)
Pen/Pencil Holder (Fertility Idol)
Business Card Holder (Ark of the Covenant)

No idea when GG will actively solicit them to retailers/authorized dealers, though they have advertised them in Previews a couple of times (no prices or release dates were given).

[IrishJedi]

Hmmm...it says they are backordered. I'm half tempted to order Indy and take my chances of having my ordered filled when it's in stock.

I'm not sure why the Mighty Muggs say "Out of Stock/Backordered". As far as I know, those aren't supposed to ship until May 1, either. Were they actually showing "In Stock" before? May be just a glitch on their system.

I think I will do the same. I may use my IPhone while the kids are testing. :D

Figures on the con exclusive. That is typical GG crap for you. I really want them all though. Got to pimp out my cubicle. LOL! :rock

[IrishJedi]

Figures on the con exclusive. That is typical GG crap for you.

Indeed. It's bad enough to release them in different 3 variations... but to make them blind-boxed chase variations is clearly peeing in the face of collectors/fans. You could theoretically spend $100+ on three different ones and end up with the very same version and have to resort to trading or eBay to complete the set. Freakin' Hostile Midget. :banghead

I'm wondering if this is going to turn out to be some allotment issue with Hasbro.

I ordered just Indy. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'll wait for other places to put the entire wave on pre-order.

Indiana Jones - Artifact Crate Paperweight - 3000 Pieces

Each crate features a detachable magnetic whip and fedora, a removable crate lid and rubber snakes.
Collections are randomly packed. Every crate will contain one of three artifact collections. Collection 1 includes: the Golden Idol and Temple Tablet. Collection 2 includes: the Sankara Stones and Holy Grail Cup. Collection 3 includes the Krystal Skull.

BBTS has the Mighty Muggs up for preorder. They're still more than retail though.

[IrishJedi]

Okay, so I just ordered the Ultimate Guide: Collector's Edition from IndyShop and cancelled the order I placed on SWS. Hey, $5.50 is $5.50. ;)

By the way, here's a teaser of the type of stuff included in the book... a cool cross-section of the Chachapoyan Temple from the beginning of RAIDERS:

Thanks! I pre-ordered Series 1. Funny, I was just on their site earlier this morning and didn't see them. They must have just posted it. Don't mind paying the extra money to get the entire set. Beats driving all over town hunting them down. If the popularity of the SW Mighty Muggs is any indication, these may end up being hard to find, especially Indy.

I'm surprised they have a shipping date of June posted.

[The Josh]

Ordered my stuff through Indy shop and got my free Indy Comic book. It let me order the Indy Mighty Mugg figure and we'll see if I get it or not. If I see it in stores before it ships from them I'll just cancel that item. Will keep the 3 Indy things I have through SWS though (Book and both posters).

[choopie]

My Temple of Doom poster shipped. Should be here on Monday. Sweet. :cool:

[The Josh]

Cool! I haven't checked my email but would assume mine has shipped as well. I did order them through SWS shop though so that could delay it some.

[morbidaj]

my temple of doom poster is also on the way. Too bad they couldnt wait and ship it along with the theatrical poster I ordered.

I have started to notice that 80% of my poster collection is Struzan!!

[The Josh]

Just checked my email and mine has shipped. I ordered both so I need to see if its both or just one.

[Vader AL]

I received my Original Temple of Doom Style A movie poster and they sent Style B....I'm sure they do not have any more in stock so looks like I'm stuck with it. I'll email them to see if they can send me the correct poster.

[IrishJedi]

Looks like the Ultimate Guide: Collector's Edition may be shipping this month afterall. My card was just charged for my order at IndyShop! :google

the only poster i saw them offering was style b
