NEW inexpensive Indiana Jones GOLDEN IDOL (not licensed) $79

[Knightmare]

Hmmm... I only paid $79 for my Toynk. But now I am not sure this is one of theirs. I swore I read it in their description yesterday, and now that I go back and read it, I can't find it, lol.

It is theirs...

Yeah when they first came out years back they were 79 they jumped to 99 . It must be the case of making it to the Gamestop 49 price point . I can’t even imagine the quality of this Idol lol

 

[Knightmare]

I am actually going to buy this and compare this with older ones they sold to see if the quality has been dropped to meet this price .

I was told this has lineage to the ORIGINAL Idol pre order now !!

order now !

It appears the GameStop listing is only for the base; no idol.

That's messed up.

That was deceptive for sure! Nothing in their sales page states the idol isn’t included. WOW!

So, this answer, at the bottom of the page APPEARS to be by the GameStop TEAM. And it says it is both the idol AND the base. You could hold that up in court if GameStop is saying it's BOTH and they lied.

Its absolutely a 100 pct Bait and switch scam anyone can see that

 

[Jintosh]

The price makes perfect sense for just the base. But, indeed, the ad says both, so the ad definitely appears to be wrong.

 

[Egon Spengler]

One of the images has info that it's only the base, but man it feels like an intentional bait and switch to me.

I have looked over everything and I don’t see anywhere that they clearly state “this is base only, statue not included”. Where did you see it?

 

[Jintosh]

Maybe GameStop believed it was both the statue and the base when they signed it up for sale. And they wrote the description based on faulty presumptions. They may have been notified that the statue used in the pictures was 7 inches tall. And ASSUMED that the statue was included. But the statue size could have just been included so people would know how big the BASE is. The base would be a different size, based on whether the pictured idol is 7" or 8". So, the size of the idol in the picture is still relevant even though NOT included.

This is still a nice base for $49.99, but on the SMALL size if you have an 8" idol.

They need to fix the description if this is just a mistake. And fix the Q&A at the bottom, so it no longer says idol and base.

There is a member on here that sells a much nicer base for 50

GameStop is too busy counting their fake money

Do you remember who was making them? I've searched the forum but can't find any recent posts, only one from 2016.
