Those catalogs are a great pick up.:goodpost

Thanks. I'm slowly trying to get 80-89 for Sears, JC Penney & Montgomery Ward. Every time I go through a new catalog I find something I had or something I wanted. It's crazy seeing how cheap the prices are too. Who knew these toys would get so expensive.



Everything in this pic is for sale if anyone is interested.

Indy's weird because it all seems to fluctuate. Marion and German Indy are the hardest to find and usually go for $50-$70 mint/complete. There's always a handful of Marion's on the bay for around $100 but they've been there for a really long time. In my experience you're better off trying to buy figures in lots.

Youre pretty much right. Marion is the gem of the
line. Second I would say is the regular Indy in mint condition. He's tough to find loose in good shape because the thumbs are really fragile and have a tendency to break. German Indy would be the 3rd highest figure. Carded he's about $60-$100, half that for a nice loose one though keep an eye out for bargains, I just scored a loose one that would grade about a 90/95 for $5. He's missing the bazooka but I'm ok with that as I'm going to stick him in the Desert Convoy Truck.

Next up you have a tie between Sallah and Belloq. Both can fetch $40 or so carded. Lastly, is the Cairo Swordsman, Toht and German Mechanic. They are the easiest to find and can usually be had for around $20-25 carded. Oh and I forgot the exclusive mail-away Belloq in Ceremonial outfit, that is about $20 bagged.

There are 2 other figures that were only available with playsets: Indy in robes that came with the Map Room and the Monkey Man that came with the Streets of Cairo. Both of those sets can fetch around $25-75 depending on condition or if theyre boxed.

Overall, it's a small, yet fun, line thats pretty easy to collect.

I have a 1981 Montgomery Ward catalog and 1990 and 1992 Sears Wish Books that I found at a recycling center a few months ago. Theyre so much fun to read.

Hi guys, I'm at my parents at the moment and thought I'd look in some old boxes of toys. I have no need for these anymore and thought that there might be a gem or two for some people here.
Just let me know if you're interested in anything specific.

Mods: I realize that I usually should start a for sale thread for these, but since these are very specific I thought this would be the best place. If anybody is interested in a specific figure, I will name a price (best via PM). I don't want to sell this stuff to make money, but rather to help people out if there's something rare or special in here that people won't find easily.

Here's the stuff. I actually have a lot more, mostly early 90's stuff (more TMNT, Jurassic Park, Thundercats etc.) in other boxes.

Although they are not all pictures, I should have pretty much all of the accessories to the figures.

Recently got these in.

Those MOTU look really nice. Thats one of those lines that I liked as a lad but I have no despite to collect now. I have a Ram Man and a few Battle Action Skellys but thats it.

As for me I picked up a few bargains for the ROTLA set:

I have a really nice lot coming in the mail too, can't wait!!!

 

[MANDO]

That's pretty cool! Are you leaving the Swordsman and Toht carded?

Yeah for now as I dont have anywhere to display anything. The cards aren't perfect so they would make good openers but if I come across any nice loose ones in the meantime then i'll keep them sealed.

Nice to see some love for the vintage Indy stuff.
All I need for the Kenner Jones' series is Marion and Belloq, and a couple small accessories here and there.

I've always loved it, just never hunted them down. My quest to obtain the only 2 figures I ever had as a kid, German Indy and German Mechanic, opened the door to my new focus. As of right now, including what I have on the way, I only need:

Marion
Indy (regular)
Belloq (regular)
Sallah
Arabian Horse

After this I'll tackle the LJN Temple of Doom line , of which I need Indy and the Thuggee.

My pleasure!

Selling your vintage Indy stuff, Richard?

Yeah, I have a McQuarrie Vader to pay for. Oh snap!

 

[FLOSI]

Sweet!! That's going to make a great display along side the eFx ANH Vader.

Where's a good place to buy acrylic stairs that are sized right for 3.75 figures? It's time for me to start thinking about getting my Kenner collection un-boxed.

I love your signature Waller.

I'm working on a small shelf system for my original Star Wars figures. Will try to post some pictures today.
