          Shaun,

          Call you local TRU. Read them the UPC.

          673419263818

          I was unable to find an R web number which is their internal 5 digit code. Each item has a unique number.

          Anyway have them search other nearby stores.

          This is how I found my Nintendo Switch.

          You might get lucky. For example, the Cranberry TRU has the UCS Tie and Slave 1 in the past. They now have the Pirates of the Carribean zombie ship in store.

              Not to rub it in, but they were in the holiday section. They were released for valentine’s day. So since valentine’s day is over, they were clearanced out. My wife found some at Monroeville Target and grabbed some for only $2 each.

                Picked up the keychain. Pulled out the metal with a soldering iron and swapped the cowl for the Joker polybag cowl.

                If you get the TRU movie voucher you need to go online and redeem it. You do not have to print out the voucher though. I took a screen capture of it and showed it to Cinemark. I had to type in the details. Basically you get a digital gift card worth $7.50.

                Also to get the Keychain you need to be a member of Cinemark connections app. It is free. You need to buy a 3D ticket.

                Tuesday is their special pricing day so a 3D ticket is only $7.99 and you just pay $0.49 for the ticket and keychain.

                      Wow, thats really cool, Nick, and well-deserved, congrats!

                      Thanks @tfdesigns! I am going to have to pick your brain and see if we can make this Technological Terror less prone to rebel attacks and self destruction. I need to help with the powerfunctions and gearing.

                        Tim and I got there at 10. We cleaned out the display case. I have some of Pete’s cars. Tom showed up and grabbed his stuff. He has Greg’s grand stand and some of Pete’s RVs. See you guy at the Lug meeting.

                                Yep it ran fine. Just think of keeping your car robust so it doesn’t destroy it self at the end of the track.

                                @JoshHall at Cranberry Twp I used pipe insulation and a styrofoam bumper to protect the cars. Can we use those for the challenge? Or make the members build a car that can survive hitting a plywood wall? I’m good with either way.

                                    @tfdesigns if you recall at Cranberry, Tim took the wheels and axles and turned the axles sideways so the studs faced forwards. The wheels did touch the track and cleared the center riser. However the clearance is very low. Since the track has some bumps especially where the track sections join, it is highly likely that the low clearance will snag on something. Use that as your height.

                                      Thanks. I was thinking of getting there at 9 as well. Not sure what Tim has planned to put in there. I just have race cars, speed champion pit lanes, finish line and Ferrari Racing trucks.

                                            The store has this interesting award from Lego. It has a golden brick in it.
