Didn't the first wave come out in October of last year? Wave 2 was officially released last week, no? So it seems like about 3 months between...if there is a pattern to it. Which is approximately in line with Gambits suggesting of March as a possible release time period for Wave 3. Completely guessing, but....yeah

Finally got all the Series 2 stuff with the exception of the throwable ID's and Castor.

The 3rd world Wal-Marts had the Light Jets and the Targets around here have *tons* of the Flynn and Rinzler discs as well as the Light Jet Vehicle..

I work at Target, and I can tell you that is a lie. If you ask for it, and they have it, they have the ability to bring it out from the back. Not only do they have the ability, but they're pretty much required to assist the customer in any way possible. Whoever told you that is full of it.

Been checking around and still no series 2. Are they really out or what? Is the line dying? Where's Wheat King? Why is Walmart clearancing them and not restocking?

I'll have to try and ask someone at Target if they have anything new in the back.

Well, next time, I'm calling and giving them the DPCI code and asking how many they have in stock (knowing they can't narrow it down to any of the 3 separate Deluxe IDs). If it sounds like alot, I'll drive to the store. I'll track down the person who works in toys and ask them to check the overstock in the back. If they refuse, I'm going straight to a manager. Whenever BS is given to me, I always go straight to the top. Game over. Unfortunately, it was my boy who made the phone call (I'm trying to get him used to talking to stores on the phone...yeah, he's at that age). Obviously, he didn't know what to do when the guy said "the stuff in the back is not for sale". I'll be making the phone calls myself tomorrow night.

The store I went to last night, the peg was full of the deluxe discs (Sams). I grabbed the guy in that department, and he scanned the peg sticker. He said there must be more in the back, and brought it out. That action by the employee brought that store THREE instant sales. Simple as that. Not only that, he showed me how the discs arrive mixed in the packing boxes...so it's impossible for them to tell what they have (if it's not on the floor) without cracking the box and looking in it.

I find it hard to believe that Target is turning down money. Stock is stock. Whether it's on the sales floor or in overstock on a top shelf, or the back stock rooms. It's all for sale (unless it's a pre-arranged thing where it's not allowed to be released before a certain date). So I'm not buying any of that. The guy was definitely lying. That's ok. I hope to run into him tomorrow night LOL

One that I went to in person when asked if they had any stock in back told me that they had to sell what's on the floor first - that helps keep the eBay'ers and collectors away, they said. I finally found one Kevin disc and they were supposed to hold it for me. I made it to the store about 4 hours later and was told that they accidentally put it back on the floor... and it was gone now, of course.

I haven't heard anything like that (the eBay'ers thing). If we have more of an item in the back, I can bring it out for them to look. Our main focus is to help the customer and drive sales. Doing anything else is counter-productive and goes against that. I wish you lived around here because I would gladly help you out with whatever you're looking for (although I do a daily check for Tron inventory. Lol).

Yeah, it's true. A lot of the items, such as the 3.75 inch figures, come in case packs. What that employee did was absolutely correct and what ALL employees should do to help you as a customer. I always offer to not only check in the back, but if we have it, go to the back and bring it out if they need me to. If any of the employees do anything otherwise, they're lying to your face and not doing their job. Getting a manager is the right thing to do in that case.

I'm not a prude or anything, in fact, I hate working for Target (people, not the company)...but I like to help people, and that's a big part of all Target employees' job. I'm really sorry for the sh*tty service you've gotten. As I said before, had you been here? I would have gladly helped you out.

Since they have set the precedent of having swappable head limited articulation bodies included with vehicles, I could see this plan working. Have a "husk" of both Sam and Quorra and give them the helmetless headsculpts. Then you can swap heads with the core figures. everyone wins!

I asked employees in 3 different Target stores, all of them kindly helped me, the last one actually found the disc for me, it was on display, but in a different section than all the other Tron stuff... it was for the items on Sale, vehicles and discs.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

That's a really great idea I hadn't considered as it gives people the heads they want, but still forces them to buy the individually carded figures.

I currently only own a deluxe light disc, and the reason I haven't committed to the 3 and 3/4 inch line yet is because of the fact that there's no helmetless Sam, Quorra, or Clu available, or even on the horizon. As soon as I saw the Castor figure I was ready to dive in, but then I found out he was held back before I actually got to buying any of the figures.

I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard. How much screen time do Sam, Quorra, and Clu get with helmets on? I think more people would be interested if the actual faces of the characters were there. Especially when dealing with more casual fans who liked Tron: Legacy, but don't really know much of the franchise other than that. Spin Masters may be doing the helmeted looks because they think it will appeal more to kids, but I think the way it comes across to buyers is moreso that they were too cheap/lazy to sculpt the faces. I know that's what I thought until I read the reasoning for why the Quorra figure had a helmet on and that an Olivia Wilde sculpt does exist. At the end of the day I think figures with removable helmets would have pleased everyone, but we're past that point so I just hope it's not too late to get those characters sans helmets. Considering that a tentative series 3 is said to be based on the game, I'm not feeling very optimistic about it.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Well, my opportunity for another 'Target sweep' is ruined. Couldn't make it tonight, and tomorrow we're getting 5-9 (+?) inches of snow

Another time...but the same places
