Im waiting for the light cycle baton to come out then im going to do something REALLY cool ... Im gonna install these in a glass case, im gonna re-wire these to one button to light them up on the outside of the case...
 
Nice!

Looked at the website, what's the difference between the 2 rings? (besides the price?) ;)

one is the disc shown in this thread that lights up and is pretty sturdy. I have one and like it. The other is basically a frisbee that does not fly well. It is really only the top half of the disc as the bottom is hollow and there are no lights. Doesn't even glow in the dark.
 
Yea I saw your Tron Topper and thought it was pretty cool. I went to Toys R'Us and picked it up. Got it home. But I'm a bit disappointed with it, because I was going to stand it on top of my Tron, but the cabinet tilt on top is a bit too much a slope apparently. The disc stand is pretty flimsy and folds easily unless it's straight up and down.
Also, and what bothered me most was that, on the one setting it would light for about maybe a minute with the outer ring in a circular patter, not the inner ring, (kind of an attract mode), but it wouldn't stay running. It would be nice if someone well versed electronically could tap off the cabinets power rather than draining the 6 cell batteries in the unit, and modify the circuit so the activation button was pressed at all times, keeping the unit operating until you powered it off.
 
My Target now has the white Kevin Flynn disc and the orange Rinzler disc in addition to the Sam Flynn blue disc pictured above. I already had the blue one but picked up the other two today in hopes that I'll own a DOT someday.

^ By the way, I'm still anticipating what you're doing with the baton. Any progress?

Cool! I just noticed those up on ebay and never saw anything about them before. I will check targets in my area..

Glad to hear that. Seeing those made me decide to get Sam's because I thought it would look pretty cool with all 3...and I've got 2 from the original film as well. I got a little worried because the stuff isn't selling too well and I was worried these wouldn't make it to the states. The ones on E-bay were from Singapore.

there were discs made for the orignal film? Can you post a pic?
 
None were made. I made my own, and I also have a casting of one of the original ones. I'm not home, so I can't get pics, but I believe there are some in my DOT restoration thread.

no rush. post a pic of the one you made when you get a chance some day..

I hit 2 targets and a toys r us.

Toys r us have nothing.. Thats 2 I have been to and neither had much(don't think they ordered much).

At one target I found 1 rinzler disc on the shelf. I also found a bunch of the series 2 dicast toys I did not have. I think thats all that I would want get. Not going to get any of the 3" or 12" figures.. Don't think I want any of the larger scale toys either(although the zero gravity RC cars seem pretty cool..)

At the 2nd target they did not have crap, but I asked the guy stocking stuff about the discs and he went to the back and pulled out a kevin flynn and a rinzler for me ( He said they were the last ones, I just think someone is selling them on ebay. Rinzler's is selling for about $30-$35 and kevin flynn is selling for about $45-$50).

So I have a spare rinzler disc if anyone needs one, let me know. Does $20 plus shipping sound fair?
 
The one on top was the one I made from a Frisbee back in the day. The bottom is a casting from an original prop. It used to be a foam Frisbee available in the late 70's, early 80's.

And I attempted to activate them all at once, with the lights out, and take a pic...this was the best of 8 attempts:
