I didn't know they were out yet. toysrus.com only has series 1-6 listed as available for the exclusives. And if i remember correctly, i think they are pushing these out faster than they had planned. Because i remember series 6 saying it wasn't going to be available until new years eve at one point. I think the fact that people can get them as commons or rares in later sets deflated some of the oooh and ahhh factor to the TRU Exclusives.
Here's what happen to me during my hunt for TRON Terrain or Texture Set. There are two TRU stores that I know of in Orlando. There is one close to where I live and another one a few miles away. I went to TRU (close to my place) to check out if there was any news or new infinity items. I always checked the gold packs around the counter. I noticed the counter has a paper with all of the TRU exclusive names and UPCs. I started reading the list and noticed that the UPC for TRON Terrain is listed. I immediately assumed that it was already released. I asked the guy at the counter, and he had no clue whatsoever. I checked online and the wiki said that it was released on December 1. I decided to drop by to the other TRU store. The TRU store has the TRON Terrain gold pack at the counter. A full box of TRON Terrain gold pack. I was surprised that I could find it that easy. I went there a couple days after its so called release date. I thought I won't be able to find any. I thought it would be gone by then. So, I grabbed two of them. I started looking around where they hung the figures and power discs packs. I found tons of the TRON gold packs. So, you never know. One store may have it, and the other may not. When I got the Crystal Jack Sparrow and Lone Ranger, the more senior guy at TRU (close to my place) said that the TRON Terrain will be released next week. I told the other customer that was not true. I told him he could buy it at the other store. He didn't believe me. The list of names and UPCs is not very good neither because it separates CHROME and Damage Increaser. Instead of having two more power discs, there are supposed to be three more. It was a complete mess. I wish TRU has a better way to keep us informed.
It started to get very confusing when 6 is out because TRU also released 7 at the same time. Nobody knew about it. TRU tried to push its release date before series 2 came out. 7 is common in series 2 so no wow factor if it is released after series 2. 8 is also messy with the release date because TRU stores have different release date. Some stores are December 1 release date and other stores are December 15 release date. To be honest, I have no idea which one is the real release date.
I was in my local TRU last week and they had both the crystal Lone Ranger and Jack Sparrow, days before they were supposed to be released. Picked up JS but not LR. Went back a few days later and they were completely gone. Come "official" release day they had none to sell. They still don't have the new Tron disc either and the staff at this particular store is useless. Nobody either seems to know what I'm talking about or they have no idea when they'll get them.
I think both Disney and TRU have failed on this. TRU failed because they are trying to make exclusives out of common discs and now they are scrambling because people are aware of it.
Disney failed because (i feel atleast) this could have been soo much bigger than what they have made it. I think they have dropped the ball on it. Tried to rush it and now don't have anything to hold people over in the meantime. I am talking playsets. They rushed them all out and now don't have any plans for new ones. Now they are trying to use characters and powerdiscs as filler until they can figure out what direction they are going to go with it.
So, does that mean Rapunzel, Venelope, and Wreck-it-Ralph will be available everywhere at some point in the future? I hope not. Part of the fun and allure is hunting down the different components. Take that away and it's just another video game that's costing me lots of cash.
Does anyone have codes for the currently available (new) TrU discs?

Are you talking about UPC codes? I listed them all in the Disney Infinity In-Stock Alerts thread.
If it is unopened how do you know what's inside? Curious as we bought several as stocking stuffers and were concerned about possible duplicates. Infinity & all characters will be under tree this year for our boys (and us) Sent from my iPhone using DisBoards
