Wheat King said something about them being deleted because Clu didn't use a katana in the movie, which is odd, since he still comes with the numchuk thingies. (But this may have been a response to having Clu's katana switched for a baton in the core series.)
And considering that the numchuk thingies are also made of the translucent plastic, they didn't delete them as a cost savings measure for that reason (i.e. deleting a different plastic than the other accessories). My guess is that since they were a bit pointy, they became concerned about them as a safety/liability issue.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Or just gave up if you ask me.
Checked 4 stores today. Downtown Burbank, West Hollywood, La Palma, Anaheim (10 miles from disneyland)
No core figs
K. Flynn cycle $7.99
Clu cycle (error box says sam flynn on top) $9.99
Deluxe Figs, Rinzler, Clu, Black guard, Sam $7.99
Ultimate Sam, Clu $20.00.

These prices seem to jive with what's been going on up here in Sacramento - same pricing scheme with katana-less CLUs. Not sure if we'll ever see any core figures there, but the fact that Ross is getting other products gives me hope.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Has anyone seen Sam bikes at Ross or other discount stores? I've been hearing about CLU's showing up, but i've been keeping an eye out for Sam's on-the-cheap for some Sentry/Combatant customs.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Update:
I've just concluded my tour of Ross stores in the greater LA area. Visited about 12 stores in the last 4 days. They seem to be relatively consistent, K. Flynn and Clu cycles, deluxe figs, and ultimate figs only. One had a few Air Hogs cycles.
Kona,
Kmart also has sam cycles for $10.99 if im not mistaken, I was just at one today (near a ross) in west hollywood and picked up a light runner for $11.99. I finally have all core vehicles. Waited on the light runner, as my first collection i decided to not buy the whole lot in one swoop, then i couldnt find the thing, until today.

Yeah, I guess they don't work very well if your wall has any kind of texture to it.
Still, I might get one on extreme clearance just for the heck of it.
(I do think it's clever how if one bike crosses another bike's "light ribbon" it quits working and falls off the wall.)

When i was 6, i remember having a palm sized goo ball. it stuck to whatever i threw it at and slowly rolled down. After a few weeks, it was dusty and dirty, and caused it to roll down walls and windows a bit faster.
This goo ball was slightly better than these air hogs cycles.
And i would gladly buy another, instead of a air hog cycle

Yeah I've got a Clu version and it's a total pos. Couldn't give a shit about Sams unless it hits $5.
I thought it might work at least decently on the floor but it's just slow crap. I didn't know that part about the 'light trail' that's a neat detail but yeah. FAR CRY from what I used to do with my light cycle growing up. I thought a remote control light cycle was a can't miss but they blew it big time. I knew it was going to suck going into it but still it's really shitty even knowing it's shit going into it.

LOL...
I got mine at the Disney Store when they first came out. Then I saw the YouTube video on them, and taking a closer look, they look more like cars than cycles.
I returned them - glad I did...
The Targets have them on sale right now for $25 - can't seem to give them away...

The irony is that these Air Hogs cycles, and the Impulse Projection figures was why Disney gave Spin Master the licences for Legacy in the first place.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Oh, that sucks. I had the hope that it would at least work OK as a regular R/C.

It would have been so much better if they would have done a RC Lightcycle that's got full speed, and anything hits it and the program goes flying as the bike "derezzes" -- that would have sold more bikes. Have the same gimmick with "falls off the wall if it hits a light trail", (which i've never even seen anyone willing to drop enough money for 2 of those to see if it even works) but have a spring loaded Sam/Clu that flies off when it hits something.
Stick them in a two pack with obstacles like the RaceTrack set, and they would have made bank...

Spin Master wanted to keep the katanas packed with the figures. The Disney studio team insisted they be removed AFTER production had started... which is why the earlier figures still have them.
