uhm trust me the regular Sam Flynn figures looks ALOT better than the figure that comes with the cycle. the figure that comes with the cycle is missing ALOT of detail and paint compared to the regular figure...only thing the figures with the cycle has that's better is that his hands are painted accurately. and if ur wondering about the helmet the helmets on the figures can be switched with eachother

I bought the Sam Flynn figure and ended up returning it because it really wasn't worth the $10 I paid for it, especially if all I was going to use it for was a $10 upgrade for a lightcycle I already paid $20 for.

Maybe I'll pick him up later if I can find him on clearance, but I wouldn't pay more than $5 for him.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlinewhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I've seen the Star Trek toys at Big Lots at low prices. Playmates did a great job with the Trek line in the 90's but their movie toys were lacking.

I went to the brand new Wal Mart Super Center grand opening today. No Tron toys but they did have a space for them, empty pegs and a small shelf space with price stickers.

I think I'm going to pass on the 3 3/4 figures. They're going for $9 while 3 3/4 inch G.I. Joes are going for $7. I know they light up but I don't think they're that great. Just my own view.


Happy hunting everyone and thanks for all of the info on the toy line. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

The 3.75" figures just aren't that great. The bigger 8" ones are a LOT better. More detail, more accessories, better sculpts, better articulation, better light-up functions, they're totally worth the extra $5 you'll spend.

But they'll never release as many characters in that scale.
I'm a huge fan of the 3.75 scale, for the playabality and potentially the vastness of the lines they are able to produce.

I think the TL wave 1 figs are good, fun figures. Sure, there's room for improvement, but this is a tough scale to master.

I dig ALL of them. I'm just glad we have so many scales of figures- 2", 3.75", 7", and 12". Most toy lines don't have that many scales.

I'm sorry but i just compared the 7 inch rinzler to the 3 inch rinzler..and the 3 inch figure has better articulation...WAAAAAY better articulation. yes the taller figures light up more, have more detailing, and more articulation...but they seem to somehow lack in articulation compared to the smaller figures...at least for Rinzler anyway.

if anybody else has both the 8 inch and 3 inch rinzler..really try to study both of them and try to do a bunch of different poses and you'll see what i mean.

Terminator Salvation and the new Star Trek movie did, but those toys weren't particularly good either. Oddly enough the 3.75" Terminator ones were probably the best ones, I ended up liking those the best for some reason.

But yeah, like you said it's not that common. Sometimes companies like to focus on one scale (Hasbro does all their Star Wars stuff in 3.75", for example) but some lines get a bunch of different scales. Transformers toys (also by Hasbro) come in all different sizes and price points.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

12" Sam Flynn Impulse Projection - Wal Mart, Markville Mall, Markham
CLU's electronic Lightcycle - Wal Mart, South Common Mall, Mississauga

Please feel free to add to the list


Finally, after weeks of searching, I found the 3 3/4 figures at Wal Mart (Steeles Ave E. & Markham Rd). They also had CLU's lightcycle, the 12" Sam Flynn and the 'wall-climbing' remote controlled light cycle.

If anyone in the area has found the die cast vehicles or the Sam & Kevin Flynn electronic lightcycles please let us know where!

Thanks

Is the sculpt in the Clu lightcycle different from the Sam one? Or is it basically the same toy with different colors?

Clu's lightcycle in the movie is different from Sam's, and the little die-cast vehicles reflect that.

The sculpt is fairly similar to Sams - the head is like a wasp and seems to pop off easily.
The bike is similar but also notably different. The front wheel doesn't cut thru at the top - the clu cycle is just smooth plastic. Also Clu is wrapped in the cycle in a semi enclosure making placing him into the cycle a bit of a pain. Clu cycle is FAT compared to the Sam cycle - you can tell its an earlier gen. Air brakes are similar to Sams but larger.
Overall they're both similar. Nothing exactly exciting if you already have a Sam cycle.
The lighting effects are same as Sam's along with noise.

I posted up some more pics on the same album above.

Thanks for the code. I put in an order, but I am not going to be surprised if these end up being the die-cast toys. (In that case, I hope I can just return them to a B&M.) I'll be really happy if they do send the deluxe toys.

Darn it, recveived my die cast light cycle, not the Deluxe!!!!

Too good to be true. Why are they $4.50 when they are at TRU for cheaper?where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Seriously? I'd get on the phone with their customer support and ask for a refund at the least, this was pretty blatantly their mistake.

Wow, four of them? No wonder they're so hard to find lately! Then again, I shouldn't talk; I'll probably buy two when I find them (one for me, one for the wife).

I'm beginning to wonder if they'll even get on the shelves. There are too many dealers in the Milwaukee Metro and outlying areas (and by dealers I mean collectors who buy the rare items and sell them back through ebay or at their stores at double the price). If the Wal-Mart employees aren't already keeping the lightcycles for themselves, the dealers are getting to them before they can spend more than 30 minutes on a shelf.

can you tell me where the battery compartment cover is? I bought a couple from the Disney website (taking advantage of the obvous mistake in pricing) I bought one for my two and a half year old son. Loves things the roll,light up and make noise. (Thats why I cant get my Transformers Animated Ultra Magnus out of his room LOL) But I want to super glu sam to the cycle so the lighting affect will still work. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Just got off the phone with support. Took only 1 minute to talk to someone. I explained the situation about the light cycle not being the deluxe as shown on the website. She said they will send out a 'replacemen't. So I guess we'll see what they send out as a 'replacement'
