Greetings! Welcome to the community!

Actually, I had already pointed out one of your reviews in a previous thread regarding the 12" Clu.

You had stated in your review that you were happy it had been painted in the correct "Yellow" scheme. I had pointed it out because everyone else's seems to be orange, including mine. But yours is yellow, and it seems to be the only yellow 12" Clu so far.

That yellow 12" Clu was something else though.

I can't seem to find the original post I made when I had brought that to everyone's attention.

Here is the link for the review: http://www.youtube.com/tomstroncollectible#p/u/3/0_OUKj3N428

I posted three new reviews of diecast vehicles this afternoon on my Youtube channel. I reviewed the Grid Limo, One Man Light Jet and Three Man Light Jet. I also gave a shout-out to this website at the end of the diecast Three Man Light Jet review.

Thanks but I'm concluding the reviews on April 5th when Tron Legacy releases on DVD and Blu-Ray. The channel will remain open though.

Thanks! Hopefully my videos have given folks an idea of what the TL line was like when it was being produced by Spin Master. It's too bad the line got torpedoed.

Out of curiousity, why is that? Is it because of the problems you've experienced finding specific items?

I look back on the offerings that I've seen and/or purchased from the TL line and it's just unreal how they could get some items done fairly well (I.E. deluxe light cycles) and then totally dog so many other offerings (I.E. core figures like Kevin Flynn). It makes me wonder what quality controls (if any) are in place at Spin Master.

While I'm thinking about it, someone said my review of my Ultimate Clu was "something else though". I'm not sure what that was supposed to infer, but my Clu is in the correct shade of yellow and there is no orange which, if I'm not mistaken, are shown on many promotional stills. Maybe it was a one-off, maybe not but it has the correct shade of yellow and I did not modify it at all.

Really anymore there are only two major US toy companies, and a bunch of bit players, of which one is Spin Masters. And considering "hit" movie toylines of untested properties are few and far between, I think it's only the small ones who are going to take the gamble. As the big companies know there is better return on investment spending their money on things they already know will be successful. However, it is interesting to me that Spin Master repeated a lot of the same mistakes with Tron:Legacy that Playmates did with their Star Trek and Terminator:Salvation lines two years ago. They would have been much better served on focusing on the 4" core line and vehicles only - having additional 2"/7"/12" figures just dilutes matters. I also would have done a more "middle of the road" identity disc, instead of having both basic throwable and deluxe lights&sounds discs, into a product that was throwable and lit up (particularly since the noises the deluxe discs make don't really sound anything like the ones in the movie anyway). The Airhogs don't really matter since those were products Spin Master already sold, just with "light cycle" bodies.

I don't know if I'd call it a mistake. I think Spin Master was trying to appeal to collectors across the board working with different sized budgets.

I liked the Ultimate figures quite a bit, CLU especially so. I also thought the accessories that came with the Ultimate figures were done well too.

The core figures were, with a few exceptions, done poorly IMO. They seem to break easily from what I've seen in other Youtube videos.

The ID discs were good. I would have preferred to have them stay on all the time but I understand the reasoning for only having them flash for a brief period of time.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I would have preferred to have them stay on all the time but I understand the reasoning for only having them flash for a brief period of time. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't unhappy with any of the releases, and thought the "impulse projection" of the larger figures was cool. By "mistake", I was more hypothesizing what I'd have done differently if I were Spin Masters to build a toyline that might have had more than six months of shelf-life. A focus on the 4" figures with improved quality control would have been better than diluting the effort over a bunch of different sizes.

I think that if I were in charge of the toy production for TL I would have nixed the 2" line. Instead, I would have focused on making playsets much like Kenner did with the Star Wars line back in the late 70's/early 80's for the 4" figures. Those sets were fun to play with back then.

Many of the vehicles seemed to be poorly conceptualized. A notable that comes to mind is the Deluxe Light Runner. I've seen or heard many comments from others on Youtube about how difficult it is to get the core figures into that vehicle. Aesthetically it looks good, but that's about it.

If Disney had spent a little more money and gone with a more mainstream company like Hasbro or Mattel, I think the offering's quality more than likely would have turned out better overall. Folks would be able to locate the items they want more easily and the scalpers on Screw-Bay would be peeing in the wind trying to sell the stuff at marked-up prices.

This all leads me back to my theorizing that Spin Master low-balled the other companies to get the TL license. The end result was Spin Master taking a crap on the TL line. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for when it comes to corporate dealings.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion
