Well, we have two pieces in the pipeline. At least there's that...

I'm sure they'll both be spectacular. I've already paid for both.

i speak japanese dude. the proper translation is "on hold" because of "problems with their schedule" (i.e. they're too busy with other products to do more from tron). in 1/6 langauge that generally means "we're pretty much bailing on the line, but we don't want to piss people off so we say it ambiguously".

Does that interview make reference to other lines/products eightsamurai?

Never mind, I just found this...

I was kind of waiting to find out about the future of the line before preordering the Sam Flynn Light Cycle set and Kevin Flynn, but I am feeling like I still want them.
I don't know if this is foolish but I'm hoping that it is still because of an R and D situation like Avatar coupled with it being a really crowded year for genre films that Hot Toys has a license for, i.e. Sucker Punch, Thor, Captain America, POTC, and we will still see something in a year or two. Could be a matter of striking while the iron is hot with some things and getting back to other things when things are less crowded. Maybe news on the sequel or the Tron: Uprising series will at least get us one more. I just think it would be a bummer to see two Sucker Punch figures and an Abigail Whistler and never get a Quorra.

This figure is way too awesome to pass up. A must have.

Even if they don't do any more Tron Legacy figures, I'll still get this one. But I think I will cancel the Kevin Flynn figure. This one can stand on its own, but I don't really have a use for Kevin without any other figures.

Sam I'll definitely get, I'm pissed though that we won't get Clu on his lightcycle and I may cancel Kevin and go for one of Spencer's custom Flynn's from the first film instead.

This is a huge shame.

I might dump this line too I do have him on preorder but if they will not continue this line then I might have to not to mention the fact that you can not remove him from the bike. Its a waiting game

Has there been much of an indication as to how well this line has sold so far? Some places I have noticed have sold out of both offerings but they can still be found easily. It seems like once the movie hit home video a lot more people put these on preorder.
I'm hoping what's going on is what someone else mentioned which was that they were taking a break so Sideshow could start releasing their line.
it probably a gamble but I'm probably getting both. It sounds like we will see a third movie and I imagine it will get revisited. I have also wondered if things got crowded because of all the big genre films that hit this year. I'm thinking next year, its probably just about the Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises.

All I can say is that he's pre-soldout at a few places around here, even Toys2 which usually has lots of stuff after release. I called a couple of places that are pre-soldout to see if they were getting more and they said no, that they couldn't get more. So I don't know if that's an indication or not, but I think it's going to sell out fast. I only want the cycle as it can stand alone very well.

He's removable, but he's not really useful when he's not on the bike. But you do have the option to display the bike by itself.

That isn't what I've read or heard. Can you provide a link to this information?

On the specs at the front of the thread it says the figure has partial mobility and that it has a set of legs fixed in the riding position and an interchangeable leg in a braking position. My guess is making the figure like that reduced costs and made it easier to light up. My guess is if we don't see further figures it will have more to do with the cost of lighting up fully articulated figures. My fingers are still crossed they can pull it off.
