here's the CASTOR #2 that a collector now owns....
notice the hole punches in the cardback (most likely spin masters punched these so they wouldnt be resold??)
a real shame that spinmasters never released this figure.

Keep things in perspective guys- the manufactured limited availability stuff is neat to own if you like the license, but it's not ever going to be worth anything; especially eBay scalper prices.
I collected Hot Wheels because I liked them, then got sucked into all the variations and treasure hunts. Then the company started really exploiting first editions and boxed sets so I wised up and dumped the entire collection for a fraction of what I paid for it.
Buy what you like, but resist the temptation to pay stupid prices for toys with forced rarity.

Exactly mike. That's why I just bought a few for toppers. I knew the ones I wanted and just kept checking when I went to target.
yup Star Wars is exploited, value is meh....
Tron figures will be....who cares in a year....

I bought the siren, castor, and tron arcade 2 packs off ebay. I must have hit 10 diiferent target stores in the bay area maybe a total of 30 times and I have never seen any of those series 2 ones.. COmpared to how much time I wasted the $22, $24, and $18 I paid for them was actually cheap..
Here's the set I bought. $4.99 (Not their pic)
Look for the "series 2" on the left hand edge.
Did you buy extras? I've been looking for one myself out here to no avail!

Me too. If anyone runs across one, I'll gladly pay for it, and obviously cover shipping...
Hey everyone...after reading all of this I had to visit the Target here in town...my family found out I was going to look for Tron toys so they met me there...ok.
Anyway, here is what I found and brought home. I plan on using the large Flinn and Clu guys as toppers to my LE Tron pin (when it arrives). The Flynn / Tron game is mine, the others are my kids. So they're out there.
The 'haul':
There was only one of these...
The large Flynn and Clu are very cool. You press a button and the helmet lights up and their face shows in it and it moves as the character talks. Not sure how they did that, but I like it!

I've looked for that Tron cabinet figure pack in several area Target stores a bunch of times and have never seen it. If anyone sees them in the store, buy them all up and I'm sure you can resell them to other collectors on here.
The search is over...after 5 months I FINALLY found the Sam + Arcade Target pack today in Nashville. I couldn't believe my eyes...kinda like finding a grail. There was only one pack hanging on the pegs, or I would've bought more to sell or trade here. I also bought the Sam light cycle since it was the only other toy I want. I'll keep my eyes out for more Sam + Arcade packs when I'm in Target here to help anyone else looking for it.
