While we first saw imagery of some of the TRON: LEGACY action figures in their packaging a few days ago here on Tron-Sector, most of the pictures have either been somewhat blurry or have camera flashes reflected on their packaging. Here now are clear images of some of the first wave of action figures in their packaging: Deluxe Sam Flynn, Deluxe Black Guard, Rinzler, and Deluxe Clu -- along with Sam Flynn's Deluxe Light Cycle and the Deluxe Light Runner. The official release date of these is set for circa the latter part of October, however, some of the figures have been popping up and selling out very quickly in a few toy and department stores. Incidentally, the frisbee-like TRON: LEGACY Sam Flynn Identity Discs that were first released last week have been selling out at stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys 'R Us -- as well as selling out on online stores such as Amazon and Entertainment Earth. There is obviously a large demand building up for TRON: LEGACY merchandise -- and we'll continue to keep you posted as more of these type of items are released..! - Jay

The TRON: Evolution collector’s edition will only be available in limited quantities and will have a suggested retail price of $129.99 in North America. The collector’s edition will be available on December 7 with the rest of the TRON: Evolution video game portfolio before the “TRON: Legacy” film hits U.S. theaters on December 17 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.

Developed by Propaganda Games, Disney Interactive Studios’ action and role-playing game studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, TRON: Evolution is set during the era between the two TRON films, “TRON” (1982) and “TRON: Legacy.” TRON: Evolution conveys the story of significant events within the TRON mythology. The game features an epic adventure across a massive digital world filled with high-mobility disc-based combat and advanced light cycles.

TRON: Evolution is one of the keys to unlocking the TRON mythology. The game’s story takes place before the “TRON: Legacy” events and provides insight into the film’s past. As an integrated entertainment experience, the film will reference elements of the game’s story. Fans will want to play the game to learn more about the TRON mythology seen in the film, but each entertainment experience will stand on its own.

“TRON has proven to be a franchise that inspires loyal fans and collectors and will continue with the holiday’s new entries,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “This collector’s edition will give fans of TRON: Evolution and the TRON movies a great opportunity to not only get the game but also a unique TRON collectible.”
