Apparently, these are already on sale in Europe and UK. A collector has posted an unboxing video on YouTube.

The other three are from The Last Crusade movie with Indy, Dr. Henry Jones Sr. and Sallah.Hasbro like we have seen them started to do with Star Wars in a move that seems to only help big box stores and hurts small etailers will not be opening pre-orders for these. The figures will show up later this year and cost $12 each.
Not really feeling this scale or these figures at all.
Loving Indy with the staff. Still waiting to see Henry

If it's just Lucasfilm properties that's less of a concern than if it applied across all of Hasbro's stuff (I would be particularly worried about finding any Classified stuff without preorders, given the sporadic and bizarre big box distribution).
Will this stuff pop up on Pulse one day as in-stock items too? What about Amazon? Will BBTS and EE have preorders once they can order the stock or will they only have preorders after the first wave of in-stock items? It's all very bizarre.
I'm hopeful it will be "no preorders" the same way the BAT and the Alley Viper were "no preorder" -- a few came in stock at the end of 2021 and they were preorderable everywhere shortly thereafter.
The only Lucasfilm figure I want this year is Black Series CW Ahsoka anyway, so it's not like this is a huge deal to me (at least until they start revealing characters like Shaak Ti, Luminara, Governor Pryce, or other female Imperial officers), but it's still a very annoying and worrisome policy.

Yeah, I think you're on to something. When it was just Star Wars, I assumed Patrick went to his bosses and said, "We have way too many products preorder and need suspend new preorders or something to give collectors a chance to catch up before too many of them cancel their preorders and drop the line." Now that it's also Indiana Jones, which only has a handful of outstanding preorders, that wouldn't make any sense. Some kind of directive from Lucasfilm seems like the most plausible explanation at this time.

51 minutes ago, JayC said:IDK if this is being pushed by Hasbro themselves or Lucasfilm. Since it is only happening with SW and Indy so far and I could see the studio would want to ensure the Big Box stores carry these things and probably could care less about the small etailers, I could see this being a directive to Hasbro from LFL.

Im definitely loving these retro figures but a little disappointed that Temple Indy doesnt have a satchel and Henry Sr doesnt have his Grail Diary.
