Here's a shot of the Kotobukiya ArtFX Raiders of the Lost statue box. I spoke at length with these guys and they were fantastic! They love Indy and it shows in their product offerings. Watch for more photos over the next day or so - and thanks to Shingo and Frank for spending time with us.

If you attended SDCC I hope you made it over to the Hasbro booth for the cool Indiana Jones action figure poster. Measuring 16 x 20 inches it is a must-have for any collection!

It wouldn't be SDCC if we didn't make sure Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm wasn't decked out in our apparel. Steve poses here (with assistant Chris at far right) at a moments down time at the Lucasfilm Star Wars pavilion.

I'm just off the plane and home after 14+ hours traveling (with delays) from...

I'll be posting many fantastic photos and stories over the next 1-2 days (after I wake up). And thanks to the dozens of people that came up and said hi - and got a cool emobroidered TMTI velour baseball cap for their braveness!

It seems the 1,100 sq. foot museum we built might not be large enough. At least not after yesterday. I returned from my US warehouse with all the shipments from the past 3 weeks. Twenty-plus boxes later - and suddenly I'm adding 150+ new items to the collection!

 

Everything from Burer King and Dr. Pepper promo items, a VLT machine top, board games, dozens of food packaging, Acme art prints, t-shirts and loads of the new Japanese premiums. It took 45 minutes to unpack the car and move it into the museum entrance. Then another 75 minutes to unpack the boxes to make the stacks you see in the photos.

Guess what we'll be doing this weekend (besides preparing for SDCC)?

A special thanks to collection contributors Michael Miller, John Robinson and Michael Wistock without whom all of this would not be possible.
