This is my Lego Indiana Jones Minifigure Collection. \u00a0This collection started on \u00a0a whim one day in 2009. \u00a0I was mostly just collecting Lego Star Wars MISB sets. \u00a0MISB = Mint in Sealed Box Sets and Lego Star Wars minifigures at that\u00a0time. \u00a0 I had started coming to terms with the fact that I may want to start just collecting minifigures and I had started to build display cases to display\u00a0the minifigures in.<\/p>\n

\"Lego<\/a><\/p>\n

The friday night in question, I had gone to Play Poker with some of my friends. \u00a0We play ones a month with a $20 buy in and 3rd place gets $20, 2nd place gets $30 and the rest goes to the winner. \u00a0 That night, the post was $240 and the winner took home $180 and it was me!!!!. \u00a0I woke up the next morning and I had to do some shopping at Target and as is usual, I decided to check out the Lego Isle. \u00a0While in the Isle, I came across the Lego Indiana Jones Temple of Doom Set, and it was on sale.<\/p>\n

Now this set had all sorts of things going in its favor to be going home with me that day.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I had just won at poker and had money burning a hole in my pocket.<\/li>\n
  2. The set was on sale<\/li>\n
  3. The set had a small guage train track piece in it that I wanted to see<\/li>\n
  4. The set had the Mola Ram figure in it which at the time was pretty detailed<\/li>\n
  5. It was September or October \u00a0and I had run out os Star Wars sets to purchase for the year and I was waiting for the next wave to be released in January.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So I picked it up for I believe $69.99. \u00a0I brought it home and pulled out the minifigures and said those are sweet. \u00a0I then promptly built a small display case for these figures and set them on a shelf. \u00a0 \u00a0I felt that I was finished with Indiana Jones at that time.<\/p>\n

    I then went to work over the next few days and I would come home and I would look at the figures next to my Star Wars figures and I would then go to Bricklink and look at the other ones that I was missing. \u00a0And I would say I do not want those any ways. \u00a0This happened a few times until I finally started picking up a few other sets and then I ultimately finished it off buy buying sets off of eBay and Bricklink. \u00a0This was a difficult one to complete because you basically had to find new figures and make sure that no one have mixed up the parts. \u00a0Too many close parts to look at.<\/p>\n

    Here is a full list of all of the Indiana Jones Figures here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    At about $20 Mola Ram is the only Indiana Jones Figure to make the list of expensive figures<\/a>. \u00a0He is at about 210 on the list.<\/p>\n

    So, if you are looking for a licensed theme to start collection, this one is relatively cheap to get into. \u00a0The full set of these figures will only set you back about $250 bucks.<\/p>\n

    I checked on ebay and they have quite a few Mola Ram<\/a> figures for about $20 bucks here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    My collection is missing one figure that I did not know about until today. \u00a0If you look at the Skeleton in my collection. \u00a0He has Silver Armor and it appears that lego also make a Pearl Light Gray version on another set. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41 \u00a0Off to Bricklink I will go. \u00a0It has to be complete. \u00a0Right?<\/p>\n

    These two figures will also need to be added to the price guide in time. \u00a0I have about 100 to add right now. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
