Damn, shame I don't have any Fred Meyers here. Where's the best place to buy the basic figures at these days other than that? I saw they were going for $10 at Target and $10.50 at the Disney Store, but I'm not sure what Toys R US or Wal-Mart is selling them for.

last weekend toysrus here in alabama had the core figures for 8.99 compared to the 9.99 ive had to pay at target and kmart

Toys R Us was cheaper for the figures compared to all the Target's and 'marts.

Yep, it's come up a few times. We don't really know the answer. Probably just a change that was made after the packaging was done. Maybe they found out red was more screen accurate?

All good points, Rusty, but I think being savvy to "nerds" is much different than being savvy to kid collectors.
Kids don't demand much in the way of toy news. Toyfare, Tomart's, and Lee's aren't made for "kids". Some kids may read them, but it's the "adult collector" that wants the news.

My kids have some Bakugan toys, but they aren't nuts about them (as you said...THANK GOD).

To my original point, Hasbro and the adult collectible companies like McFarlane, NECA, and the many others that had come and gone over the years made huge strides in the "nerd community" at large by having fairly open communication with the "fans" , but I just don't think Spin Master even has us on the radar. I could be wrong, but I think they underestimated the appeal to adults, and we see that reflected in their communication to the "interwebs". Unless Wheatking is the designated "sponsor", but I don't think he is. He seems more like a fan that happens to work at Spin Master.

I dunno, it's just toys. *shrugs*

Wugmanmax Wrote:I have to disagree with the complaints that this line has problems. I have been a figure collector for many many years, and an "adult" collector for longer than I should admit. I have collected Marvel Legends figures, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, G.I. Joe, Lord of the Rings, and various other movie figures. TRON has been one of the easiest lines to find out of all of those. Sadly, I have passed on collecting TRON figures for myself because I haven't really been happy with the end product, but I have bought my kids just about everything that has been released from the 3 3/4 inch line, including all the vehicles.

The line may not have problems with the distribution, but it certainly has problems. As you said you passed for yourself because you weren't happy with the product. It's not a good sign when people who are a fan of something and looking to buy merchandise decide to pass.

I saw the movie and went to Toys R Us immediately after to check the toys out. I WANTED to buy Tron toys, but after looking at them I ended up walking out empty handed. I liked the vehicles. The Light Cycle and Runner looked really cool. But then I looked at the Sam Flynn figure, who's head looks pretty awful, and it completely turned me off on the entire line. If I can't have a decent looking version of the main character what's the point? The fact that neither Clu nor Quorra got human heads, and Kevin's head needs work before looking presentable didn't help to sway me either. The one figure that was gonna get me to pull the trigger, Castor, was indefinitely pulled.

Spin Masters has made a lot of questionable decisions with this line, and that's putting it kindly. Running the Identity Discs off of watch batteries and not having a continuously lit mode was a huge let down. The same goes for the cycles and runner. Not being able to attach the Identity Discs to the 4 inch figure's backs is another disappointing loss of something that should have been a given. The articulation used for the legs is very impractical and not user friendly. I know Hasbro's been using that type of leg joint for a while now, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating. Legs should be able to move forward and back easily ESPECIALLY when you're gonna have vehicles to interact with.

It'd be nice if they were able to offer improved versions of Sam, Quorra, Clu, and Rinzler/Tron in a future wave with light discs that can attach to their backs, reworked leg articulation, and either helmetless or with removable helmets. I don't think that's likely to happen though, and to be honest they should have gotten these things right in the first place. Maybe if that Castor figure ever gets released I'll decide to pick some of these up, but as of right now having recently seen the movie, this is the time I would be most likely to go on a shopping spree for Tron toys,but I'm too meh about everything that's out right now to care. I've only bought a deluxe Identity disc, and even that I am not happy with because it doesn't stay lit. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

I think the bodies look very nice, I have no complaints there. It's not one big problem with the figures, it's just various little things that add up. If they had removable helmets I'd easily let everything else slide. If they had good leg joints and discs that could attach to the back I'd be more inclined to forgive the human heads, or lack thereof. But when you add it all together it just seems like I'm sacrificing too much for my $8 - $10. I might feel differently if I end up seeing them for $5 in the future, but as of right now I don't feel anything urging me to pull the trigger on these at full price. I'm just waiting for Toy Fair at this point to see what Spin Masters has to show, if anything. It wouldn't take much to rope me in because I really want to want this line, but I do need something more than what's currently being offered.

PS
Just to add to my list of small problems that add up. Figures like Clu's Sentry, Kevin Flynn, Jarvis, and Quorra have skirts, and people claim that the plastic is too hard and it hinders their articulation (which is already hard enough to work with given the leg joint used). Normally I would be more forgiving about something like this, but since they interact with vehicles and some of them need to sit, they really needed to have soft rubbery plastic in those parts.

Also the overall build quality is a concern for me. When I hear of people breaking figures right out of the package that makes me feel hesitant about investing in the line. I saw for myself first hand when I went to Toys R Us after the movie a Clu figure who's head was already broken off IN the package. Maybe you guys could elaborate on this for me though. How common is the breakage? Are there any problem figures/joints or is it just a totally random thing? I pose my figures a lot and can't afford to always be worrying about breaking them every time I move a joint.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlinewhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online
