  Are you asking for help with acquiring the remaining Indiana Jones sets or are you asking for help with your growing addiction? We might be able to help you with the former, but our track record with the later is rather poor. ;)

  I'll just wish you luck and sit here humming the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme...

  My dark ages lasted about 18 years. lol. But I went on the Indy buying spree over the past two months. I bought 4 of the Ambush in Cairo, then the Temple Escape, then Shanghai Chase, then Flying Wing, then Canal Chase, then Motorcycle Chase. I've stopped now but I feel like the collection really needs the Temple of Doom to be complete. I'm conveniently ignoring everything from KOTCS (although I do feel like I should pick up loose minifigs of Mutt & Irina Spalko).
  
  I've noticed the asking prices for 7622 on the secondary market seem a bit high but I do want that one too.

  I love the canal chase. Picked up an extra boat on ebay the other day... they go nicely with the new creator lighthouse.

  Completed my Indiana Jones collection a couple of days ago with Flying Wing. Managed to get hold of a brand new Temple of Doom set on eBay.de for just under 70 EUR back in February. All my IJ sets are new, except for Temple of the Crystal Skull which I got on eBay.de again for just under 50EUR - box and set in good condition, though I had to order a couple of missing pieces from LEGO and buy a new sticker sheet.
  
  Currently collecting ships (troll ship/pirate ship/viking ship). Got my eyes on the big Imperial Flagship at the moment.

  @mrfootball I missed this thread while I was doing some traveling and at the risk of thread necromancy I thought I'd ask how your quest is proceeding?
  
  @legopants You said you completed the collection but do mean those sets available from retail stores or the exclusives as well? Do you include magnets, keychains, etc. or just sets. I ask because different people have different perspectives on what constitutes complete. Myself, I've got all of the sets listed on Bricklist but only one of the keychains, neither of the magnet sets nor the console boxes. Additionally, I haven't yet gotten around to getting the ComicCon exclusive to say nothing of the Han Solo Transformation (which to date I have seen available for sale only once at a price tag of $1000 and that one has a cracked case).

  @prof1515 My "completed" collection consists of only the 16 retail sets (no keychains, no BrickMaster exclusive set, etc.). My PotC/PoP collections are also "complete" - I haven't bothered with any of the polybags, etc..
