what i was saying was i don't see why some feel the toys, key word being TOYS, should have lights that make them stay on for almost an hour or more.
yes i don understand it would be cool to have tron merch that stays lit. but i just find it funny that some many were excepting the toys to stay lit forever unless someone flipped the off switch.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

ah finally found this thread - anyone notice it's buried?
Edit
At least this thread is not coming up on the front page after I just posted.
It should bump back up to the front shouldn't it?

2nd edit
its stuck on page 4 of the tron legacy category - it shows the time stamp of today with the most recent post time.

It's fixed now.

just picked up the 12" Sam figure today along with an additional deluxe disc for my display case! HAAAAAAPPY! I didn't know there is going to be a 12" CLU figure, also. This pleases me. I also collect the transformers masterpiece figures and absolutely LOVE the complexity. Any chance of Spin Master or another company making a more Serious "toy" for folks that don't mind the expense?

If by high-end you mean $189, yes. But based on this prototype, if it stays the same, I can live without this Tron statue. The full-color face, thigh-master thighs, non-Boxleitner face and no lights doesn't appeal to me:

I truly hope this isn't an indication that Disney has remastered the original Tron to make the faces full-color for the Blu-Ray version.

Looks nice, but for that price, I'd personally expect a little better. 5 or 10 years ago, I would've been all over this because not much else was happening with the Tron license. Now that we have a large influx of Tron news, media, items and figures, I'm starting to get (unfortunately) a little more selective with my Tron purchases.

It'd be tough to be a scuplter of action figures. Couldn't imagine the pains they must go through to try and get things close or exact to how the character really is.

The 12" Clu is NOT exclusive to WalMart, but I don't know when it's shipping. I thought it would be out at the same time as the 12" Sam. There are 2 master cartons, 1 has 2 x Sams and the other has 1 of each.

Sam / Clu or Clu / Other figure other than Sam?

Meaning one case has 2 Sams and the other case has 1 Sam and 1 Clu.

???

There are only two 12" figures, Sam and Clu, and Wheat already confirmed they are not exclusive.
