By the way jediknight0 what did you think of ElecTRONica ???

Nope - not kidding. I picked up an additional white disc myself while I was there.
elecTRONica was pretty cool though the costumes & discs of the cast members could have used a little improvement. Flynn's arcade was great though.
I still need to post pics but I made a special custom disc for myself, a custom jacket styled after young Kevin, and of course a disc mount for the jacket. My disc was held in place with magnets and when putting the disc on my back that would automatically activate the always-on light mode. It worked out pretty well.

Because I stock the shelves at Target and saw what the distribution was when I opened the box. The box was full of Sam discs and only contained 1 Kevin disc and 2 Rinzlers.
I already had mine by that time, although if I knew any forum members had needed one? I would have bought it so I could offer it up. Better one of us fans have their mitts on it than a toy scalper.
I do believe User897 is correct in that it won't be re-released. If there was a time to unload spare merchandise? The dvd and blu ray release was the time to do so.
However...
As I mentioned before, my friend who works at the Philly store got her Kevin disc last week, after it sat in the Target backrooms all that time.
This is where I believe the Kevin discs can be found.
Now me being a Target employee? I do have access to a PDA which is tied into not just our inventory system, but the inventory for the entire district as well. I can scan the deluxe identity discs which we have on the shelves at my store and check to see if other stores in the area have any in their backroom. If they do? I'm betting it's a white disc. I can then head over to these other stores, use some connections, and see if I can't liberate a few white discs from the backrooms.
If, and honestly? It's a big if, I should come across any? MCP gets the first one and I'll offer any other up I have here on the forum, and I'll only charge what it cost me (roughly $13)
Also, on a side note?
Goodwill stores routinely get "damaged" stock in from Target every now and then as part of some kind of tax deal. When I say "damaged", it could range from the box being partly open or being in loose condition. There are a LOT of toys that get sent to them, and I wouldn't be surpised if some Tron stuff got shipped to them.
One more thing: Does anyone have an Ollies Bargain Outlet near them? I know from a friend that Ollies gets ALL of Toys R Us overstock, I actually picked up the GI Joe "Assault on Cobra Island" figure 5 pack from Ollies last Christmas! If they don't have it now? Remember to check Ollies out in November or so, I would almost gaurantee they have a TON of Tron merchandise.

Jedi Knight... did they have White Discs at the stores?
Or did you have to get it from the backroom??
Wow that's awesome! because I talked to all the people working at the stores..
they even called the guy in charge and I talked to him.. and they said..
they didn't have any more.. ....
Ha ha ha! Yeah I thought the same.. the show was awesome.. BUT I think the costumes should have glowed and yeah the Discs should have looked better.. if im not mistaking.. they were just the regular Sam Flynn Discs they used in the show?
I was like.. wait... I have that in my hand! I thought they would have props and costumes a little closer to the movie...lol
Yeah Flynn's was awesome! I also loved End of Line Club.. and I really enjoyed Castor.. and the Sirens.. I fell in love as soon as i saw them! just kidding lol.. but it was cool they kind of looked like Gem.. and they have Quorra look alike also...
Did you meet lots of programs while you were out there?? i did! I bet they asked a lot about you costume.. and Disc.. I only had a regular un modded Sam Flynn disc.. and tons of programs kept asking me about it.. and where they could get one... chatted with some programs.. played games... had drinks... showed off my Rinzler Disc.... and just had a great time.. said hi to Gem of course.. or at leas the girl who looked like gem...
I felt like I was in the movie... it was tons of Fun.. i plan go return.. there.. for a 3 day weekend before it's over... but yeah enough... now.. i talk to much lol
And man your costume.. and Disc sounds awesome!! espeically how you made it light up automatically! awesome!! post pics of your jacket and and Disc later! "I want him in the games until he dies playing" -MCP

Yeah! better for one of us fans to have it... than those greedy toy scaplers.. Shame on them for trying to make money off the name of Kevin Flynn... without even writing a single program...
I mean these scalpers.. are acting like Ed Dillinger... the slime's didn't even change the names!!
Thank you JInfantry23! If you do find one.. please do save me one. Would be happy to buy it from you

Wow.. In my own small world, I thought they only had Sam's disc. Then I found Rinzler's by chance in a Disney park but now I've just found out that there's disc for Kevin? Ugh. I wish I had known wayyyy before hand. I would have hunted down that disc no matter what the case Now, I feel it's too late to even find one.. :\abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I got one that was actually out on display at "Engine Ears" near the front of the park. I had them check in back and they didn't have anymore. Later that night at elecTRONica talking to the workers at a TRON kiosk they didn't have any white ones out but said they had one in back. That was immediately bought by someone else after he saw my white one.

I looked at the discs closely. They were basically hollow plastic pieces with very little weight to them. No lights at all. Just one solid piece of plastic with very minimal details. They must have had internal magnets as well since when one of the performers dropped his disc a couple feet away from me I saw no velco or other means of attachment. They did have both black and white discs as appropriate though.
The discs actually looked VERY similiar to the pics I've seen of some of the high-res pictures I've seen of the non-hero prop discs.

Got three promising leads on the Kevin disc hunt.
I scanned a deluxe identity disc at work today and the inventory system is showing 3 different stores having large quantities (one store had 19, the other store 22, another store has 25) of them in the backroom inventory.
Now there's no way of knowing if they're Sam discs or Rinzler, but they might be the coveted white disc.
Now the bad news? Besides these three stores? That's it. All other Targets in my area are cleaned out. Whatever is on the shelf is it.
Since I have off tomorrow, I plan on visiting and see if anything shakes loose

Wow JInfantry23 that sounds greats! Well there is some hope!
Hey and maybe for some fans here even getting them a Rinzler Disc would be cool...
I have a Sam Flynn..and Rinzler Disc.. already...
I would like one more Rinzler.. but it's not a Must...
But a Kevin Flynn.. Disc.. I mean that would just be awesome...
Thanks for looking for it..and searching for us here on the sector!!
Hopefully a few fans get one

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update.
One of the stores do have a Kevin Flynn disc in the back, but I wasn't able to get it during my visit due to
a. My friend not being at work there that day
or
b. The backroom team being too lazy to grab one for me. They did confirm they had one (Yeah, it's like white right? All the others are black...")
I messaged my friend and he said he'll be in this Friday, so I should have a white disc in hand this Friday.
MCP? You asked first so it's going to you. I'm still raiding the other Target backrooms - if anyone is interested in a white disc? Please leave me a PM

It is 2 Rinzler discs and 1 Kevin Flynn disc to a box. I had Target open up boxes for me and I have bought several in the past. Still a ton of Rinzlers around here, but no Kevin Flynn discs.
