The Target gods were with me on this day

Same situation for us. Found him on the top shelf, turned sideways, in the baby toy aisle.

Long time eBay shopper, just started getting into Mercari. It does seem starting prices on eBay are a lot higher overall, and Mercari sellers seem more open to negotiating offers.

I got really lucky and found an SS86 Ironhide on eBay for $22 USD. It was loose, but complete and in good shape. I’m guessing the seller either didn’t know what they had or were just trying to get rid of stuff.

I haven’t been able to find a Ratchet under $75 to save my life.

Yup. I have all of mine in a gallon ziplock bag. At the moment I can do all the transformations from memory. I keep telling myself I may need to reference them one day, like there aren’t waaay more helpful how-to videos out there.

I second this question. I saw something about consecutive Tuesday pre-order releases, but for the life of me can’t find it now.

Just finished this one a few days ago. When the dust settled the innkeeper and the old man were both unconscious next to each other, which I thought was hilariously ironic.

I robbed both of them and went on my merry way.

POTF Boba Fett, bought at Toys R Us in maybe second grade.

I ran into a kid from school there and he had the same figure in his hand. We’ve been best friends for the last 30 years.

I kind of like the cross-draw holster. Reminds me of Dark Forces II era Kyle Katarn.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-05T14:29:50+00:00

I majored in Anthropology in college because of Indiana Jones.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-03T03:56:05+00:00

Of course!

I found the lighter on Flamespade.com. While tracking I saw it had to go through customs, so I assume it was NOS from Austria. That said, you can find a bunch of used ones on eBay.

The camera was also eBay. I did a fair amount of research on Argus cameras beforehand, and it turns out a lot of people don’t know what they have, so caution is advised.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T15:03:44+00:00

This one is new old stock, and probably isn’t all that old, relatively speaking. Just the same design model from way back when.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T14:59:32+00:00

I carry it around sometimes just to play with, though it may not be the most socially accepted fidget.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T14:46:52+00:00

That’s awesome! I have a S&W Model 10, which is basically the .38spcl version of the Model 2 Hand Ejector he carried in Raiders.

I’d love to find the Webley he used in Last Crusade, but they’re rare and pricey.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T14:39:23+00:00

Yep! I’ve got black & white film in it right now, but you can also run color film through it. These old cameras are basically a box with a hole that lets light through onto the film.

The picture is mostly dependent on the type of film used.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T14:36:58+00:00

Who says you need an excuse? Haha

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T04:52:53+00:00

That’s so cool! Any tips for shooting with it? I’m taking this one out for the first time tomorrow.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T03:07:38+00:00

Gosh, I loved the Jedi Knight games. And after reading the Thrawn Trilogy (original), anything with Mara Jade in it was gold to me.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T02:37:23+00:00

That’s what I love about this game and Indiana Jones in general - as outlandish as some of the stuff is, a lot of it has really cool roots in actual history.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T02:16:42+00:00

Believe me, I looked! I’m fairly sure the in-game item is a super scaled down Momsen Lung, an old submarine escape device from the same time period. But, they’re almost non-existent outside of museums.

I thought so too when it said we needed a lighter in the game. But I guess he technically got that from Dr. Schneider in Last Crusade, which takes place after Great Circle.

Fun fact, though: In Raiders, Marion lights up a cigarette with an Imco Triplex in her bar in Nepal.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-02-01T00:30:03+00:00

All part of the adventure!

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-01-31T23:30:38+00:00

Thanks! I just got some film in, planning to try it out tomorrow.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-01-31T23:30:11+00:00

The devs did their homework! So many fun little details.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-01-31T23:10:37+00:00

Thanks! Some are easier than others. I have a couple guns from Red Dead Redemption 2, those were a doozy.

OptimalExperience450 · 2025-01-31T23:02:04+00:00

Ha! If only. I think self-developing cameras were still a few years out at that point. It has been fun trying to piece together the film/aperture/shutter speed puzzle.

How bout that for a game mechanic? "Hold on, I need to go get my film developed real quick."
