New Zurg release late 2012

How much longer lol :frowning:

Well it is a holiday item. Christmas is 2 months away, they could wait a bit more yet if they wanted to

But I want it now!!!

Better learn patience lol, remember how long it took wave 3 to hit disney stores? USA collectors were going crazyā€¦at least then you could import them from Britain

Wouldnā€™t surprise me if Zurg was a post christmas release at this point

Interesting news on this front. I did not spot the Zurg itself at the disney store, but something interesting, possibly bad

I noticed a New Toy in the same box as the other full sized figures, and its was a LOTSO (new one) with a Woody. Why is this bad you ask? My prediction: Zurg is in a two pack with Buzz and will be $50 instead of $25

It appears theyā€™re coming out with villain/hero combos

Oooooo interesting! Was the lotso plush?
Well whatever the case I just want him to come out. I think he will be worth it

That doesnā€™t necessarily mean they wont release them separately as well. Didnā€™t they also do a buddy pack of sorts (full scale) with Buzz and woody? And when you say new lotso, is it really a different one, or just a repackaged old one? sometimes the multi toy packs just come in when sales get low and they want to give them a perceived higher value.

I do hope he pops up soon, weā€™re getting to the point where there about to miss 2012 I think. If its coming before Christmas it has to be shown somewhere else by mid November at the latest doesnā€™t it?

Not saying is guaranteed, just my prediction. Th Lotso was similar to another plus Disney Store Lotso, although there were some differences (a cane as one example). I think heā€™ll have to pop up soon as well, but I asked a DS employee and she said they always have one ā€œChristmas toyā€ thats super late, every year and it never fails. Zurg might be later than the normal Christmas Toys.

I donā€™t know, my opinion from the beginning was "why zurg? Why now? (13 years after TS2), but having a Buzz/Zurg two pack actually makes a lot of sense. Not to mention it would undoubtedly move Buzzes for them (from people like us) who just want Zurg. Iā€™m hoping thats the not the case, but from a marketing standpoint, it actually makes sense

I wrote this in the Replicas sections and I then saw this threadā€¦

There are pics of what the zurg looks likeā€¦this also might explain why Zurgs box wasnt aroundā€¦although I suppose the rex wasnt either

So hope ur right wheezy

Re: Latest News

Hmmmmmm. I hope that it is at least Utility Belt Buzz and Zurg since thatā€™s the only ā€œversionā€ of Buzz which appeared on screen with Zurg (from memory).

It is a shame that Zurg isnā€™t being sold by himself. But, I guess it was unlikely that he was going to come in a ā€œreplicaā€ box based on the box glimpsed in Toy Story 2, so itā€™s not a major issue (apart from the added expense of having to buy another Buzz).

Iā€™m looking forward to seeing photos of the final product!

Having the buzz be a Utility belt buzz would actually be great for me since I havenā€™t bought one yet, but if its not going to be the TSC version Iā€™m not even interested. And of course the lack of a replica box means Iā€™ll end up buying the previous release regardless when I can. If thereā€™s nothing that sets it above the TSC version then at least I can just sell it. Watch them do some kind of talkback feature forcing me to keep it though. heh

Yeah, even a utility belt disney store buzz isnt worth it. If Zurg was actually thinkway then the set would be awesome, but its not

After all the hype I hope the zurg is decent. Lucky I did not sell my boxed thinkaway zurg

Just posted!!! LOOKS AWESOME!!!

It says Zurg is 15 inches.

Also, itā€™s $50 because of the two pack, which sucksā€¦but hey, this makes sense actuallyā€¦as i discussed above

See $50 in Uk is quite good cos its only Ā£30 and tsc lotso is Ā£45 so itā€™s not bad only thing is disney store USA want like $ 35 for shipping :frowning:

Zurg looks decent and height accurate at 15" heā€™ll tower over Buzz. Glad to read his eyes and mouth will blink as he speaks and his canon thing will work. Donā€™t really need the extra Buzz as I have an unopened TSC Buzz and opened TSC UB Buzz but at lesat this one has new phrases. I might bring this one to work for my desk. I can activate the phrases when my co-workers ask me to do work! HA!

Well we dont know if his gun works yet. At least not like in the film. All iit says is the balls go spinning.
