RE: Toys Found at Retail

Hypothesizing, I think there was an issue with the way the film was marketed. Seriously, I was unsure whether this movie would be suitable to take my kids to until I found the movie rating...which surprised me. The trailers made it look fairly violent, and with the Sirens, it made me think that we would be seeing...ahem...'more' of those ladies than I would have liked my kids to see. -.-

That's just my personal viewpoint on the movie. It really wasn't marketed to kids at all. It certainly hit in the 'teen/young adult' age group. Of course, the current Tron 'loyalists' and fans of the original movie also had to see the movie (or they weren't loyalists :P ). Although going to Walmart stores and asking for Tron toys, having a young woman (around 18) not know what a 'Tron' was gave me pause...

Tonight or tomorrow night: another store sweep. And a big one this time. I'll post my findings here after we get done. I'm hoping to find the Ultimate Clus at Target. I'm not holding my breath, though.

One question: do the Ultimate Sam/Clu come with a battery protector tab like the other toys? I don't see any on the pictures of the figures on any website. Just want to make sure if I do run across anything, that it's 'fresh'. Thanks everyone!

All of the Deluxe Clu LightCycles have Sam Flynn printed on the top label, despite what ebay auctions will lead you to believe.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I recently purchased the Rinzler and Kevin deluxe identity discs. Has anyone else experience awful smell from the plastic?

When the Sam version first came out I returned it after 2 days as it was making my family sick to smell it.

These new ones I took into work and within less than 1 hour I had to stick them in a tied off bag.

Anyone else get this issue? Did it go away after a while?

Thank you!where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Yeah it goes away after a week or two. Mine reeked too, sometimes I can still catch a whiff in my office (but I have a LOT of tron product in here.) It does lessen with time.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Ok. Store sweep was tonight. Clearly, everyone is selling off whatever stock they have left. TRU is clearly happy to sit on all their Tron toys (and they have alot of crap left over). They made a new section in an aisle and spread the Tron section across about a 6 foot area. LOL. I'm talking like 2 throwable discs on a peg, just so there's no empty pegs. TONS of the Kevin Flynn large white lightcycles. Same with Ultimate Sams. Blah. No sales = I left.

All Targets: running low on everything. Sale is still on. One store had some Series 2 figures (Quorra and Jarvis)...and a fair amount of each of those! Everything else was selling out. NO stores had any stock in the back of Tron items. Another Target did have a few Rinzler Deluxe discs (one with and one without the battery tab). No Ultimate Clus to be found anywhere...except one that we had seen at a Walmart a couple weeks ago. It was still there, so we bought it (full price...ugh!). It doesn't look 'perfect', and it's missing the Katana, so we might return it if we find a better one later on.

Picked up the 2 Ultimate Sams at Walmart tonight that we had ordered online for in-store pickup. OMG!!!!! The guy brought out a SpinMaster box with both of them in there! Still sealed! The Sams had never seen a store shelf. I was surprised....to say the least. Even better, they both had Katanas. The couple they had at that store on the shelf didn't have the Katanas. LOL. Ridiculous.

So the line is dwindling. Ultimate Clus (at least for me) are very hard (if not impossible) to get now. We did find a 3-man lightjet at TRU (the only one), and we bought it....even though we already have 2.

Ross stores around me had diddly.

If anyone could straighten me out on the whole 'Katana' situation with the Ultimate figures, I'd appreciate it. Some have a sticker on the back covering up the details concerning the Katana. Weird. Thanks!

Sad to see the line going out...but my wallet needs a breather anyways If I can find a very nice Ultimate Clu, I'll be happy. I'd also like another white deluxe ID...but I have enough.

That's all the news that's fit to print from my neck of the US. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Are there Ultimate Clus with katanas? I've never seen a 12" Clu at retail. I bought a few from Toys R Us online and none have the katana.

Got my ultimate Clu last week. Of the 4 I saw at retail, none had the katana... all had the sticker on the back covering that statement.

Hmm. This is bizarre. The TRU Ebay setup advertises the Katana with the Ultimate Clu. I will check when I get them. Not sure why some of these Sams/Clus have Katanas and some don't. ???

As mentioned above, the Ultimates ship two per case.

I'm pretty sure only the first wave of Sam had katanas, for the later wave of Sam & Clu it's been deleted.

Ah that explains it. I was lucky to get some of those 'early' Sams at Walmart.com then! Wish they wouldn't have deleted the item. It's one of the coolest weapons they come with.

I see what you mean by 2 per case, too. When I picked up that SpinMaster box at Walmart, there were 2 Ult. Sams in it, with a piece of tissue paper between them. Seems weird to ship them only 2 to a box...but whatever.

Made another Tron toy to Toys r us.....they had a few of the Ultimate Sam figures, which they all had the katanas. A few series 1 figures, K Flynn light cycles, Recognizers nothing new but 1 Three man light jet. Went to Targer more series 2 figures, no 2 packs, few die cast ton of Rinzler and Sam Flynn deluxe discs. I actually saw a young boy and his mom checking out the tron toys. He was telling his mom how we gonna save his money so he could get a new figure next week. I stood back and just listned to him ramble. On the peg was 1 Quorra 1 Jarvis 1 Sam Flynn (S2) that I was gonna snag but the mom pulled him off the peg....she told him they had so many Clu's and guards, Senturys this is the one he should get since he was the only one. Just snickered to myself and smiled he didnt even look at Quorra or Jarvis Guess which ones I snagged after they left. Also they had the Ultimate Sam flynns with Katanas. Hope to make another run next week.

Stopped by a nearby Target and I picked up:

Ultimate Sam (with katana) for the new sale price of $20
Sam vs. Rinzler 1
Deluxe Black Guard

Some Target's are low on stuff, others are somewhat filled. Stores are choking on the Kevin Flynn white light cycle. Did see a deluxe Rinzler disc on the peg amid all the Sam's though

The website now says, "Not Available."
Not a good sign.

I really feel that there were many bad decisions that plagued the Tron toy line. If they never made 7" or 12" figures, we would have never missed them. This is an easy design decision because if you look at Star Wars (the most popular action figure line), they were unable to be successful with figures larger than 3.75". If they were able to focus more on the core line, we would have at least been able to see all the major characters without helmets. Faces really bring out the character when they are more than just soldiers.

The recognizer released should have been the UK Disney version! How can I get one of these sets BTW? Can I pay someone $80+shipping for one?

I'd pay $20 shipped for the 2" Sam+Arcade set.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I can understand if they wanted to do 12 inch OR 7 inch to have a bigger, more technologically advanced product on the shelves, but having both scales was overkill. Especially when the feature was exactly the same on the 7 inch as it was on the 12. Personally I couldn't care less for any of the extraneous BS and just bought the core line and an Identity Disc, and the majority of interested buyers probably felt the same way. It seems like every toyline does this though rather than focusing on the standard figures and vehicles.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Apparently, this is very common. I went to a Wal-Mart that had six Deluxe CLU Light Cycles, including the one I bought, I noticed that all of them had Sam Flynn on the top of the box, but CLU on the front and sides.

Agree x10. As far back as I can tell (which isn't too far, but I have the aids of toy collector books) 3-4" figures have been the best-selling lines. GI Joe and Star Wars have been around for decades, and they've stuck to that. I feel that if you're gonna do multiple scales for a franchise, it should be split up between companies. I know that would require other companies to actually show interest, but all the same, the 6" would have been more interesting if they were handled by a company with a better track record for 6" series. Same with the Ulitmate figures... 2 12" figures seems like a waste of plastic. Why not give them to a company with a history of good 12", or better yet, just leave it to a collectors company that's going to sell directly to those that are interested, rather than clogging shelfspace for the 1 in every 50000 kids who actually wants one? I dunno. Toy economics mystify me.
