Is this a sign?

For what? new movies? While I know there is speculation, I wouldn't relate this announcement to that. This seems to be a continuation of the attraction/land specific merchandise that has been coming out of late- this being for the Indy attraction in DLR and just being shipped to DHS so they can sell it on the east coast.

Meh...they put out some Maelstrom T-shirts not too long before they closed that ride last year, so I maybe it IS a sign...

It's just the One Disney policy at work. Usually, DLR gets merch that represents rides at WDW. For example, *all* the Space Mountain merchandise at Disneyland shows Orlando's single-file rockets and not Anaheim's side-by-side seating, and the new Main Street bags for sale in Anaheim feature the Chapeau, which is only on Main Street at MK. In this instance, DHS is getting new Indy merch themed to Disneyland's Adventureland where the Indy ride is. But if you check the items closely, they don't really have anything to do with DHS. They all have the Eye of Mara on them which is directly tied to the Disneyland ride (whereas the stunt show is Raiders of the Lost Ark-themed.) I wouldn't read anything into it, other than that the Parks division is still sadly too cheap to give each park its own locally themed merch.
