These are on sale now for $3.49 so likely there are cases of these just sitting at Target's distribution center just waiting to be shipped out to stores.

Sweet, if they're in Nebraska by now, they'll definitely be where I am by tomorrow. Maybe if these sell enough, we'll see the line continue.

Switching topics for a sec: Anyone here have the Lightcycle Baton Launcher? I may be making a fanfilm in the future and I was wondering if the baton launcher would make a good prop.

I never understood why they made that Baton toy so big. I am doubtful it's size is accurate the props used in the movie.

At least the scale for the deluxe Identity Disc's were in correct scale.

Lmao.....always with the negative ways Abraxus, sounds like a line from Kelly's Heroes

I keep hearing things like "These are selling so well, why would they cancel the line?!". Well, it's all a matter of perspective. Look at the first post in this very thread by BTW:

$7.99 each. I bought all they had at one store, which was two complete sets.

I did the very same thing when I saw them show up at my TRU, and I'm sure this scenario was repeated by many Tron fans all over the world. Then this same focus group comes on the interweb to say how thier store's pegs are bare.

Let's put it this way, If I'm an artist who makes 5 limited edition prints only to turn around and sell them to my mother, brother, wife, and two best friends, I can claim my first endeavor into the art world was a "huge success" when in reality all I did was preach to the choir. This is how I see the Tron line as a whole, and this is just the core figures we're talking about here. Spinmaster and the retailers stuck with 47,789 Kevin Flynn Light Cycles and Sam ID discs don't really care about a bunch of die-hard Tron fanboys and their wishes for a series 3. All they see are blue and black boxes with the word "TRON" stinking up their shelves for the past 3 months.

Maybe your store's pegs are currently bare and in your eyes you see this line as some huge success, but in all the stores in my area (NY/NJ/CT) even Quorra, Jarvis, and 3-man jets are warming the pegs. And this isn't contant refreshes of stock. I'm in the same stores on a weekly basis, it's the exact same figures I'm seeing. Sometimes in the exact order they were in the week prior.

Movie toys are very hit and miss these days. Even the highest grossest film of all time (Avatar) did not do well in the toy aisles. Everything was eventually clearanced. I got some of my figures for $2 and vehicles/beast for $5 and $10 and those weren't even that bad.

Whatever, I don't think I'm saying anything new here, I just thought I'd say something. I'm no expert, but I've been collecting toys for 30 years and I see the same patterns over and over again. No matter how crappy the line (and I'm not saying Tron toys are crappy), there are always fans who are offended and perplexed that the companies responsible didn't give them more figures. Take the Last Airbender line for example. That movie suuuuucked and those toys were downright horrible, yet go find a fan forum and I'm sure you'll see replies of bewilderment similar to our own.

Be happy with what you got, I'd say. Having 90% of the main cast and a couple of army builders is a lot more than most current lines make it through. I see it like this, my Tron collection has tripled since last December. While more would have been great, It was fun while it lasted.

Finally somewhere else than Cali, eat it Abraxus! You say that like I care. I really don't. I got what I want from this line, except for Anon, Abraxas, and Gibson cores, and the green diecast lightcycle. I liked the guys disc customs on here, but not enough to make them. If it makes you feel better though, I am glad you are satisfied with the possibilty of acquiring the series 3 stuff. But, even if you get a hold of them, for whatever reason series 2 is skipped, meaning no arcade. And no way of completion. Your username really fits you well. I'm not a fanatic collector, so i'll be good with what i can get. My name was chosen for a reason. and I will reveal it in time. I am an X-Men fan, did you know that? Especailly during the Jim Lee era.

Gambit we already know its you, at least the Mod staff does. No big surprise. Just don't let things get out of hand like last time.

KSC surely how well they sell will vary by area, and I find it interesting that you list NJ because when I was looking for them in NJ the core figures were always cleared out aside from maybe a lone Black Guard and Sentry. In the Los Angeles area I see them moving as well, despite the fact that some Targets are charging $11, and even $12 a figure. It took me ages before I could even find a Sam, and I've only seen Quorra at retail once and Jarvis twice.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Of course every store is going to vary. There are many stores in the area that are low on core figures, but that's because they aren't getting restocked as often as other stuff. In other words TRU puts out a case of 12 at time, a few sell over the course of week, and there's 6 left let's say. Six action figures on a peg compared to 86 Transformers down the aisle and it gives the illusion that Tron is selling out.

In any event, it's not the core figures that are to blame here, anyway. It's the massive amounts of other stuff that's giving the main line a bad rap, in my opinion. Also, we have no idea how many core figures (as well as the rest of the lines) are sitting in China. Maybe it's thousands of cases that never even got ordered by retailers.

In the end we'll probably never know the logistics of it, but it's safe to say, as others have already stated, it's all about the profits. Tron didn't pull it's weight, so it got derezzed...order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

trench Wrote:I think that Spin Master repeated the same error that killed the Star Trek line for Playmates, by releasing figures in three different scales. They should have just stuck with the 4" figures and the core vehicles. It never seemed to me that the deluxes/ultimates really sold all that well (even though the impulse projection was pretty cool).

I'm a completionist, so I had to get both the Core figures and the 7" versions.

I really prefer the 7" versions. I can understand that the smaller scale is much more popular especially with kids and some collectors, but I found the extra $5 for the larger figures well worth it.

Even here in Canada, the core figures outsold everything else (7" Deluxe and 12" Ultimates).

On a side note, I recently found the Yellow Clu 3" Core variant at Walmart. Everywhere else had the orange version. And to think I was going to place an order for it on the Disney Store.....
