I don't get it. Why would you buy at full retail for a 1 in xx chance of a rare when you can scratch and have a 100% chance? Is that just a chance to step back on your scratching soapbox? Especially since TRU has had them on sale for 2 of the 4 weeks they've been out... Just seems dumb to me.Series 2 power discs are now available for preorder on Amazon. They're MSRP but considering Amazon gives you a fair shot at getting rare discs as opposed to physical retail, they're kinda sorta a deal.
Because generally you'll have one asshole go through, scratch all the packs, and then buy all the packs with rares in them.I don't get it.

Not if you are the one asshole who gets there first.JKBecause generally you'll have one asshole go through, scratch all the packs, and then buy all the packs with rares in them.
So while Amazon may be 1 in xx chance of a rare, your average retail store is 0 in xx chance of a rare.
Sounds like hyperbole to me. There hasn't been a single time that I have walked into a store and scratched that I didn't find a rare on the first group of packs. I think you're talking on emotion rather than fact.Because generally you'll have one asshole go through, scratch all the packs, and then buy all the packs with rares in them.

What maximumzero said. I've seen people doing it at the TRU closest to me. If I don't get there first (which I won't), there are no rares to scratch for. It's not dumb - it levels the playing field.I don't get it. Why would you buy at full retail for a 1 in xx chance of a rare when you can scratch and have a 100% chance?

At Wal-Mart or Target? Sure, you can find a rare pack no problem?Sounds like hyperbole to me. There hasn't been a single time that I have walked into a store and scratched that I didn't find a rare on the first group of packs. I think you're talking on emotion rather than fact.
I've found multiple packs of rares at Toys R Us, during sale weeks.At Wal-Mart or Target? Sure, you can find a rare pack no problem?At Toys R Us, where they're on sale? Good luck with that.

Every online store allowing pre-order is showing release the week of Thanksgiving. Black Friday deals and crowds for these and the new figures might be nuts.Its showing the series 2 discs on amazon as coming out late November. Hopefully that changes.
Well, if you need either of the playsets or 3-packs, Toys R Us will have a 30% off coupon tomorrow.Not seeing much in the way of sales for next week. There's still time for the Target sale so I may go for that knowing there's nothing else coming that's any better. It's hard for my brain to be OK paying $26 for 3 figures when I got 3 for $15 a few weeks ago. Now I'm wondering if we will see sales like that again, or if we will ever see single figures discounted any better.
Yeah, that's a decent deal for anyone who didn't get in on the first week sales. I failed to do my homework on my starter set bundle and picked a free character that was in one of the 3-packs. Should have gone with a single figure.Well, if you need either of the playsets or 3-packs, Toys R Us will have a 30% off coupon tomorrow.
That'll at least make a 3-pack $21, and the playsets $24.50 before tax.
Not as good as $15, but better than $26.
I have a Mike's Car if you still want to do the swap!So yesterday I went to TRU to get some power disc packs and asked if they had any gold packs, they told me no so I picked up 6 regular packs. I get home and go on the site and they have Crystal McQueens to be shipped so I ordered one of those, but then I decided to check on the gold packs, and it said my local store had some in stock!
So I then ordered 2 gold packs and pick them up today after work and they were the Tron discs! I asked if they had anymore in back but they were sold out. So I've got an extra Tron if someone wants to trade for a Mikes Car or another rare disc...
I wish TRU was a bit more clear about that along with when the new gold power disc packs will be put out (either in the morning or at the event). I'd rather go earlier, but if I have to wait, I need to know ahead of time.So how is this gonna go down tomorrow? Should we bring a printout of the coupons just in case? Or just go straight to a games clerk and ask them for the coupons?
If I get another Tron tomorrow I will I only have one I traded my 2nd oneI have a Mike's Car if you still want to do the swap!
they had tron packs online? when?I bought the 2 Tron packs they had in stock online so I don't even know if they'll have more on Saturday, I may just go to the other location in hopes they may have some
could always buy rare pack at walmartAt Wal-Mart or Target? Sure, you can find a rare pack no problem?
At Toys R Us, where they're on sale? Good luck with that.
yea exactly.. there is a long time between open and the event.. so if you go early and they're not there you have to wait a long time for them to be put out. If you wait for the event and they put it out in the morning then they will be sold out by then.I wish TRU was a bit more clear about that along with when the new gold power disc packs will be put out (either in the morning or at the event).

My store said they aren't going out till the event starts. That is going to be a fiasco which I'm not looking forward to. I'm going tomorrow at open to argue that the ad says no where they are to be put out when the event starts. It clearly says "Availible 09/07"yea exactly.. there is a long time between open and the event.. so if you go early and they're not there you have to wait a long time for them to be put out.

My guess is they're supposed to put it out when the event starts but i'm sure each store will be different. My store never puts anything out on time.
Let us know how that goes.My store said they aren't going out till the event starts. That is going to be a fiasco which I'm not looking forward to. I'm going tomorrow at open to argue that the ad says no where they are to be put out when the event starts. It clearly says "Availible 09/07"
Download it in the start menu, not while playing in a game/toy box.I have a game-related question. I downloaded all the new Disney pre-built toyboxes and they all work except for the Toy Columbia one. It is telling me it is too large for my system. I am on PS3 and I have 298 GB free on my HD. So, yeah, which systems does this toybox work on? Is it Wii U exclusive or something? Just seems odd...
Thanks. Well, that's some buggy design there. The whole thing, actually, from a UI perspective, is horribly designed. Every time I try to go do something different (like check online or download toyboxes) it just seems very counterintuitive and requires too many steps. And when my youngest son wants to play it requires far too many clicks and select "yes" type answers. I either have to do it for him or tell him each step and it takes like 5 minutes just to get him in the toy box to mess around. Hopefully they can streamline that stuff for the next one.Download it in the start menu, not while playing in a game/toy box.
I had them in my cart yesterday and decided to just leave them because I haven't completed any playset other than Incredibles. The only thing I recently realized is you have to have all the characters to unlock the playset texture set. That's pretty lame imo....I also picked up Dash, Mater, and Francesco with the B2G1 and 2 for $20 price match. Unfortunately all that really did was save me $3 over the regular B2G1 since they made 2 of the figures $10 each and left the other at $12.99. So one of the $10 ones came up free and I got the 3 for $21.84 after Redcard. So, yeah, I'm not sure if I want to keep them since I said I'd only get unncecessary figures at $5 or less each. But with Target I have 90 days to return, so I can hold on to them for a while to see if there is a better sale or if they start getting scarce like common Skylanders figures did from time to time.
They were available for in store pick up earlier this week I thought they were the mikes car packs but when I picked them up they were tronsthey had tron packs online? when?
Yeah, saw that. Just ordered one at $4.99 and figured it was worth it just to be done with it. I already have a stockpile of Wave 1 rares for trade bait for Wave 2 and 3. Since the TRU are timed exclusives, I'm only going to take what I can use.The new packs aren't showing up with the 2 for $6 discount on the website. I ordered 2, hopefully I get that adjusted, either at the store or by calling customer service.
Seems to be a YMMV. My store wasn't even aware that they had any new gold packs when I called at 4pm yesterday.Local store says I have to wait until noon to buy the tron disc.
Just got my confirmation email that my order is ready for pick upThe new packs aren't showing up with the 2 for $6 discount on the website. I ordered 2, hopefully I get that adjusted, either at the store or by calling customer service.
I don't think the TrU exclusives are timed. They're just plain exclusive afaik.Yeah, saw that. Just ordered one at $4.99 and figured it was worth it just to be done with it.

Is the 2 for $6 sale over? I just ordered 5 Tron packs and they charged me $5 eachFellow CAGs ...
Power Disc Series 2 is in-stock for store pickup at TRU. Be careful, because there are 2 different items on the TRU website for the TRU exclusive power discs. One for Mike's Car and one for Tron.
Mike's Car (which is unavailable) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=23788536&type=trigger&promoId=24424396
Tron (available) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=24514626&skuid=16927591
To further add to the confusion, the Tron disc is listed as Series 2 (Mike's Car is listed as Series 1) ... but Wave 2 pre order power discs are also listed as Series 2.
Hope this helps!
How many did you order? Try ordering one. Maybe TommyLove and you share a TrU.Just got my order cancelled
Ordered two. I was on my way there anyway so I kept going, got there and they had two left so I grabbed them and paid the 2 for $6How many did you order? Try ordering one. Maybe TommyLove and you share a TrU.
