Just got back from TRU. I was able to get all the discs we were missing and help a few others with my duplicates. We got coupons, checklist and a Infinity plastic bag. I guess that is the Trick or Treat bag?

A Gamestop manager was there as well since TRU had the exclusive Tron disc. He told me his store has a box behind the counter for people to swap duplicates. So after TRU I went over there and swapped out my remaining duplicates to start a second set for my nephew.

This was very productive for my daughters as well. We were able to trade and ended up with every disk released so far except for Dumbo. A nice lady even traded my daughter a Mike W. for a Cinderella coach. Anyone who was at the Virginia Beach TRU today, I have to say thank you again from me and my daughters. We had a great Infinity experience. Also, TRU was selling exclusive packs two per customer and had them behind the counter. Only Tron disks in stock though.

I just got back from an event as well...close to a dozen families showed up. Very happy at he mix of people....young kids, old kids, boys, girls, and some adults that were just as geektastic as me. My son and I were able to complete our collection, and the local store was cool enough to ONLY have the Tron discs available for sale, so people did not mistakenly get a Mike's car on accident. I hope they do another one soon...

So does this mean Mike's Car will be basically impossible to get at this point? I was really hoping they would have the Tron packs AND Mike's Car packs.

@Zhenza most likely. Atleast until the regualr version mike's car comes out. Even then it will look different so the original's price likely won't go down that much if you specifically want the holo version.

I just got to work from the event, went from 3 doubles to 7, but that is only because I bought more bags, and I managed to get 8 new one's including the tron disc. From trades I got both finding nemo discs, cinderella's carriage, fix it felix, stitch's blaster, mickey's car and abu(my mom was able to trade a ralph texture pack for him when I was buying more packs.
My doubles ended up being Alice Skydome, Rapunzel Texture, Mulan horse Kahn, Bolt, Rapunzel Sky, Carl's cane(the only original double I was unable to trade) and nemo texture(first bag I opened after trading for the disc)

The two toys r us' near me got a grand total of 28 (14 each) tron exclusive packs. I went to the less popular toys r us and was able to get one pack. There were about 5 people there. 2 of which cut in front of my 4 year old daughter. The manager saw this happen and was nice enough to give us the pack for free. I thought I would share the nice story but let everyone know that these discs will be hard to come by. (There was no gift bag, it was just a coupon good for today only they gave away)

I have heard the same from others, some stores didn't even get any at all. You would think they would prepare better for an advertised event. Happy to hear there are still good people in the world though ImGonnaWreckIt - glad your daughter got a disc :)
