flamanar Wrote:Thanks Wheat. One more question since you're still here:

Why did they slow the electronics (lights and sounds) in the Deluxe discs and the Deluxe Lightcycles?? I have some where the lights/sounds move very fast...whereas ones I purchased later have the lights/sounds at about 1/3 the speed of the first batch I got. This affected all 3 discs, btw. Sam/Rinzler/Kevin. Thanks again!

Power left in the batteries?
Yes. I tested about 30+ different ones at different stores, and they were all slower. A few, I pulled the pulltabs to test them (yeah, I confess)

Sometimes those batteries sat in the factory for a while - did you try new and better ones from the store (like Energizer)?order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I agree though, more weapons the better. Some of us were having issues finding 12" Clus with katana but Amazon appears to have a few.

Was there ever a 4" Rinzler with Katana? Just curious since the 7" Rinzler comes with one.

No 4" Rinzler with katana. The 7" Rinzler got a ton of weapons to try to compensate for not having an Impulse Projection face. The Black Guard got the chute/wings.

It was strange because we knew about these weapons from the reference we were given, but didn't have any idea who used them or when. We have images of Black Guards holding nunchuks. I could be wrong, but i don't think ANYONE used nunchuks in the movie. The script called out a grappling hook a couple times, but we never SAW it. Well, not until the movie came out. Also, although the studio team swore only Quorra fought with a katana, there is a very brief moment in the End of the Line club where you can see a Black Guard using one.

My point is, a lot of the holes in our information didn't get filled until right before movie release...or even after. That's just a normal part of developing product for a movie. I'm sure the Disney studio team was still figuring a lot of this stuff out up til the last minute toowhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

This has been talked about numerous times. People said that they rpelaced the batteries altogether and it still had the problem.

As for the grappling hook, it's what Quorra uses to get past CLU.

Exactly. I'm hoping Wheat chimes in as to WHY they changed the light/sounds.

Also, has anyone found out how to speed the lights/sound back up via a mod???where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

You are forgetting the toy liquidators like Big Lots and Toys R' Us Express. We should be seeing some big blowouts shortly after the Blu-ray/DVD release.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Wheat King, do you have any insight on the S2 2" packs and why they didn't see wide release? Or are they just backed up in Targets inventory (i/e they will show up at some point, likely in clearance?)where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

See above. Likely clearance. Target usually dumps their stuff at Big Lots.

Target has their own pretty good clearance system that I hope the toys run through.

But, I've also seen 'Target Exclusive' toys at Big Lots, Ross, TJ Maxx and a new store in this area called Ollie's. Target clearance ends up at Goodwill as well once its gone through 75% off clearance cycle.

I hope we see the S2 2" packs in the clearance cycle. My fear is that they were as limited as the S3 2" stuff seems to be.

Yup, I saw a bunch of Rise of Cobra Target exclusives at Ross and not only that but they were the very hard to find exclusives which means it was probably stuff that was rotting at their distribution center. If that's the case then I would surmise that all of the S3 2-packs won't even get clearanced in stores and will be dumped at places like that.

It thought I only remember them fighting with the staff weapons (like comes with the core Sentry, and 12" figures), but in different lengths, the edge was "glowy", so side shots made it look somewhat like the katanas. I'm pretty sure that's what derezzed Quorra's arm.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

wheat king Wrote:sorry to break the news about Castor. It was a Disney/talent approval issue and we COULD NOT - as the licensee - put the product on the shelf. No choice. the problem was fixed in time for the next wave...but we all know how that worked out.

Again, sorry guys. There are a lot of things I wish had happened differently.

Why did any of them have to be DESTROYED though? That's just insulting given how many people here would kill for one. Why couldn't they have been offered to the hardcore fans in SOME way? I mean surely 300 would have been enough to at least let people of this forum get their hands on one. It's a bad enough tease to have him pictured on all the packaging and never get him, but to then find out that some were actually made and destroyed is just heart breaking.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Complete waste of resources, down to the resources used to destroy the toys that had already been built and packaged.

Not a problem, Wheat. Thanks anyways

I'm hoping someone found a way to mod the speed. No idea how to find someone who knows about that stuff, though.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Terribly sad news about the Castor figure. It would have been great to have something like a SpinMasterCollector.com website for the remaining figures

Regarding the weapons, apparently one Black Guard uses something VERY similar to nunchaku:

I remember those Black guards put their batons together... for one, the light comes out on both ends forming a staff (the one in the middle). The other separates the batons and the light appears in the middle, forming something like nunchaku (the one on the left). And for the other 2 Black guards, one has a sword like Quorra and the other uses no weapon at all.

And the nunchaku look a lot like the accessory included with Rinzler.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion
