Ugly Indiana Jones!

Post by Blue Monarch »

I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but I just bought 7621 The Lost Tomb and have the wrong head for Indiana! I haven't opened the plastic baggies, but there it is: Anakin Skywalker's scarred face. There is no other head to be found, either. This makes the first Lego set I ever had a problem with (if you can really call it that!), and I've owned many.

One of the administrators of the currently out of order 'Perhaps Plastic Explosives?' forums experienced the same problem a month or so ago. Call up LEGO customer service and they should mail you the correct head if you ask for it. :)

I'd like to have that problem. The burned Anakin face makes a great corpse and its kind of hard to come by. Plus you can always call customer service and get the proper face too.

Yeah... too bad it's in that pasty white color (flesh). It would have made a good evil guy face for castle! And I'd better not have to mail it back!!!

Thanks!

Thanks, at least I'm not the only one and someone has already complained for me!

A while ago, someone posted about coloring fleshies to make them yellow instead; it worked with a yellow sharpy, amazingly, and it kept it's design and matched almost perfectly.

Ah, it'd just be easier for me to draw smilies on all my old Stormtrooper yellow heads. It'd save ink too. :wink:

I've bought 2 sets of 7621 The Lost Tomb and both came with the Anakin head. And others have complained about it on other forums. I wonder just how widespread this problem is (has anyone gotten the correct Indy head with this set?).

I haven't complained to TLC about it because I'm actually happy to get a few more copies of the Anakin head. Between the current crop of Indy sets and the ones coming up for the new movie, I will eventually have a small army of Indys (just like I have a small army of Johnny Thunders).

I got my Lost Tomb set and it came with the normal head but when I got the royal kings castle set it came with the wrong head. I didnt bother with customar service though.

I just received mine in the mail last week from S@H, and it did indeed have the correct head.

Hmm... I love those scarred faces... they are a bit rare too... maybe you should try to sell it. :D

Exact same thing happened to me, only I didn't notice until i had opened all the bags. Oh well, its a cool looking head and I'm going to eventually have more Indy figs than I know what to do with anyway.

Normal Indy head here. Received the Lost Tomb set today; it was even better than I had expected. I may have to buy the Temple Escape set now!

Nothing to do with Indy, but when my brother got the Mistlands Tower, it came with a Steven Spielberg head :shock:
