Someone's makin' some serious dough off the new Indy toys....

Man, I'm tired of this crap. They finally introduce a new line of Indy toys and the only place you can buy 'em is at a friggin' Disney theme park. That is unless you wanna get ripped a new one by trying to buy one off E-Bay. There's one 10" Indy figure currently on E-Bay, it's got like 7 and a half more days before the bidding closes, and the damn thing's already $50.00.

This's bull. What could they possibly sell for at the parks, maybe $15, $20? Someone's makin' some serious profit here, and it sure ain't the fans. You can hardly walk 10 feet in a mall or toy store without seeing 500 different Star Wars toys. But if you want ANY kind of Indy toy you'd better be prepared to take out a second mortgage.

I could see if these toys were from '81, then a price increase'd be justified. But these things are barely a week old. Thanks, Lucas.
