News revealed during Q&A session with Cool Toy Review.
Hasbro recently mentioned in a Q&A session with Cool Toy Review that it is highly unlikely that their Indiana Jones line "will continue significantly beyond the holidays this year."

Here follows one of the Indy questions to Hasbro:

Cool Toy Review: Would you consider continuing the line as online exclusives with a higher per-figure price if it is not feasible to continue the line at stores like Wal-Mart and Target? In order to get figures like Oxley, Mac, Donovan, and Marcus collectors would be willing to pay more.

Hasbro: "It would not be possible to continue the line in this manner, since the size of the IJ collector base is not enough to sustain development work and production volumes by itself."

They should have brung out a toht, belloq without gear, dietrich at the VERY start. What about Lao Che aswell. Donovan, Brody earlier, LC Sallah, Ox, Mac, MArion KOTCS, They should also have at l;eaat of brought out a few students aswell.

And boy scouts looters, others.

train set complete with animals?...
well of souls...
Grail temple booby traps set...
bug tunnel/spike room set...
kali temple set with sacrifice victim...

they could have done a 2 pack set of slave children, or additional thuggees like they did with the nazi soldiers,
i found that the army of darkness palisades figures are the same scale as the indy figures, so if you get plenty of deadite/skeleton packs you will have enough "off the shelf" pieces to create a well stocked tomb for yourself... thats what im gonna do anyways!
