Yesterday I had the chance to go to London for the day.
It was a great trip. I caught the train early, and having finished what I needed to do I did some sight seeing.
Not only did I see most of the main attractions (like Big Ben, Tower Bride, etc), but I managed to go to Forbidden Planet, which sells all many of sci-fi & fantasy merchandise (located at 179 Shaftsbury Avenue).
I must admit, given the size & popularity of this store, I was a bit disappointed they had just a handful of Tron stuff-two figures, two die-cast vehicles (both Clu’s Command Ship) & the Deluxe light up Light Runner (which the guy next to me picked up and brought-although I’ve already got one of those anyway :P ).
They did, however, have a BIG stack of Sam’s Disks on display, at least 12 of them (again, something else I’ve already got).
One thing that DID cheer me up is that they did have on display (in cabinets) two VERY collectable figurines. The first was a highly detailed Tron: Legacy Kevin Flynn (about 12” tall) with real details & clothing, and the other was a figurine of the Original Tron (again about 12” high), both limited edition collectors items.
This is the exact same figure in TRN_au's photo.
Unfortunately, they were VERY expensive and were WAY beyond the amount of money I had available at the time (the Kevin Flynn figure cost £299! :P).
In the end I brought Clu’s Command Ship (even though I wasn’t really planning to). Having said that, though, when I got home I was quite pleased with it really, and for some reason it seems to really ‘complete’ the collection I now have on display.
This is the main problem I have now-most of the shops that I have visited that I KNOW stock merchandise (even in London) have (a) got a VERY limited range available for sale and (b) it’s all stuff I’ve already got.
Which means that if I want to get anything new (anything DIFFERENT) I’ll probably have to go online from now on.

Today I got Vinylmation figures for Quorra, Sam Flynn, Kevin Flynn, and original tron. All I need is to find Clu and Rinzler to complete my collection. Whoo hoo.

I know I said I wouldn't get anymore, but looking at the stuff still availible there STILL a few things that look good.
The ONLY two things that I am SERIOUSLY thinking about getting now are the Deluxe Kevin Flynn White Lightcycle (the one that you can put figures in) and the Deluxe Quorra action figure.
Those are the only two things I want now, although I'm going to have to do it online since I can't find anywhere that sells them
My fathers birthday is in a few weeks time, so I'm going to wait until then so that I can order both his Birthday present (I know what I want to get) & the two things above off Amazon all in one go.
I just hope they still have it by then...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 just ordered all of the above stuff off Amazon-I just couldn't wait that long! It should be here perhaps next week.
(Although my father's birthday isn't for another 5 WEEKS! :-P )

The stuff I ordered off Amazon arrived this morning (yet another record by Royal Mail!)
I'm quite pleased with my father's birthday present (a limited edition sci-fi anthology), but the Kevin Flynn Lightcycle is GREAT!
Although I think it looks slightly smaller then the Clu/Sam Lightcycles (for some reason) I do find it easier to put figures in.
And it looks BRILLIANT on the shelf with the other stuff!
Unfortunatly there's still no sign of Quorra arriving yet...

Quorra arrived today (the action figure that is, not the real one-that would be just weird :-P ).
She looks really good standing next to the others on the shelf.
I also noticed on the back of the package that there was a picture of the Castor figure, although to be honest I'm not particulary interested in him or Jarvis.

That was printed when they still thought that Castor would be made so its not real advertisement.

Got my 2012 Tron calendar today, really like it.
I think it's better than the 2011, the colors really pop. Too bad it didn't get released in the US (or I never found it.) Had to get it from Amazon after looking all over for it (and the one with the characters that wasn't released, or at least no one ever found it.)

Does yours have the Tron label on both sides of the Arcade machine? In the 2 that I bought, 1 was missing the complete label. It was so weird. It's still a blast of a piece either way.
As for me, the last thing I picked up was a 3.75" Kevin Flynn Lightcycle on clearance @ Target for $2. I dig it. Too bad they didn't have any figures left. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill |

Only $10 Shipped! A steal!.
Yes I believe there are labels on both sides. |
That's a good deal. I was surprised to see the Sam + Arcade packs for about $20 on Amazon. Target really screwed up distribution of that item. I feel bad about the people who bought it for $60+ from that Singapore seller.

Yeah, I got mine for $10 inc. shipping. And that's a horrible price, just like those Kevin discs for $200. I don't like it when companies make fewer of certain things (it happened with Tron, Thor and Captain America)! Why cant they just make a lot of everything? Like you never hear that happening with Star Wars figures, there is always lots to go around!

I picked up my first Black Guard figure today. I wasn't going to get one at first but for $2.99 you cant beat it! And since it only comes with a disc and 2 batons I will be using the stuff from the Rinzler figure (the stuff he never used) and the staff from the Sentry since he is not in any shape to use it. (custom figure pieces ) Thanks to FlynnOne for the signature!

Got a series 2 Clu today from Big Lots, it was $4. There were also some Rinzlers, Black Guards, Quorra and a Jarvis. They also had the 7 in. figures and Sam's and Kevin's light cycle and one man light jets. Then I went to Harbor Freight Tools and got some router bits, clamps and wheels for the arcade I am making. Since my router is only 1/2 in. and bits are 1/4 in. I got a new router for $28!!!!
And if anyone cares I got some cereal with Star Wars in 3D pens in it..... Thanks to FlynnOne for the signature!
