Indy Release day results

Fresh back from the morning hunt, it is with great delight that I announce moderate to excellent success! While WalMart dropped the ball a little this morning, being unable to find the product in their back room (!) they have assured me over the phone that the boxes have since turned up, and are waiting for my afternoon loop. The real surprise and excitement of the day came from Target, who had been super sneaky and shelved their Indy figures last night contrary to their earlier plans, so as to properly greet the launch day with a wonderful display!

Interestingly, they had all ROTLA figures, and none from the upcoming 4th movie, which also released in the toy launch today. Well, actually they had one Mutt 12" figure, but none of the four 12" offerings that they had on the shelf left with me today. Perhaps this evening...but as it was, my cart contained 6 nearly perfect arrangements of $25-$30 item groups, which allowed the nearly optimal use of 6 target coupons! Of course, it was all made possible by the friendly and patient checker, and the fact that no one else was in the store at that ungodly hour - nice!

With any luck, and if time permits, these figures will start to be posted to the new Preserve Indiana Jones 2008 product gallery tonight!
