For winter holiday releases the toys typically ship mid to late September. The retailers really like to have them in fully stocked inventory and going on the shelves by the end of September. That way kids can see them, examine them, dream about getting them, and then ask mom and dad for them. Mom and dad have time to get a CLU and buy the toys, wrap them, hide them, etc.. The other reason for this timing is for main advertising campaigns to launch in October, just slightly after the inventory is in place.
TRON:Legacy is a different animal for two reasons: 1)ComicCon is a nexus point for advertising so they have to rush to get exclusives and preview merchandise there (and there are probably some big store buyers who like to gauge audience reactions there), and 2) the movie comes out a couple of weeks before the main holiday time. I don't think these factors will skew the shipping/advertising schedule too much earlier than usual because the movie itself acts as advertising ("cross promotions").
Hey WheatKing, did you guys show your stuff at ToyFair in NYC this year?

1) There are 3 scales of figures correct, 3.75", 7.5", and 12" Sam?
2) The vehicles are for the 3.75" figures?
3) The 3.75" figures light up with the vehicles?
Thanks again! |

EntertainmentEarth lists the basic light up figure assortment (3.75") as shipping in July. I called EE just now and they said that's the date Spinmaster gave them. So I called Spinmaster to confirm and the customer service person confirmed the 3.75" figures are coming out this summer. She said July at the latest August. WHOOP!!!!!
Maybe they will have some for sale at SDCC, that would Rock!!!order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Its called a Baton Launcher. Didn't the UK Toyfair review say something about it shooting a mini Light Cycle out if it? If so that would make more sense, its shaped as a Light Cycle baton and also shoots out a mini cycle. Damn, SDCC can't come soon enough.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I love how that toy is made, but, with the face lit up, it looks out of porportion. The face looks too big on it.
also, the the Baton Launcher, how much would that probably be? |

That's the 12" Sam figure. The face in that pic is obviously photoshopped, probably for promotional use. The actual figure's face is not that detailed or big, see the video here:

Ah, I see. Thinking that it was photoshop somehow didn't occur to me though... And yeah, the faces in the video's don't look all that good. Thank you for the clarification.
And if that's the 12" sam, the articulation doesn't look too bad, I just hope the final product can bend his arms and legs. I just somehow don't see the articulation there if there is any, other then twisting. |

I concur.
Why are there no pics of the Identity Light Discs? I'd love to see what these look like.... I did find out that the "Deluxe Light Disc" is electronic and lights up and has sound effects.

I agree. Wheat king, if the movie becomes really successful (we all know it will ), do you think there maybe a chance of producing "vintage" characters or something like that? I would love to get my hands on an accurate 1st generation lightcycle and old school recognizer. And some characters really deserve the action figure treatment (Ram, Yori, MCP come to mind).

Than it looks like all Spinmaster customer service reps have the wrong info, I called again and spoke to someone else and they said the same thing as the first rep.
