The 89 Forever logo is so obvious in the film, with no explanation, and yet they so specifically refer to it when Garret Hedlund did the video for the Operation Tron event. Also note that the parachute in the film is not that used for Operation Tron. As for being back in '09 - 42E did the '09 Flynn's Arcade event. Back then, all we had was the FX teaser.

I think the 89 logo, was faintly on the back wall/door of Sam's hideout apartment as well, either that or I was seeing things.

also did everyone catch the black hole poster in young Sam's room?

You don't think those events were planned long before hand? I'm sure most of the ARG was designed in outline before the first Bit hit the post office.The details of each stage are malleable I'm sure, but they can't exactly just make up the story and events a month in advance - especially when they're using the REAL actors from the film.

As someone posted before, the ARG elements really enriched my viewing of the film. Although I left as soon as the credits rolled (didnt want to wait in a massive line to get my phone back). Was there anything at the end of the credits? I heard someone mention a nod to Hall H of comic con?

What were the two figures that CLU was looking at in Flynn's place? I seemed to think they were limited edition gold/silver Rubik's Snake/Twists put into a star pattern.

Am I misremembering those things originally? Could they not be shaped in that star-like pattern?

It's also a very common and easily located desktop puzzle, the rhombic star, or other various names...

Nothing unique, except the material in this film. Similar to a neutral Bit, but I believe the Bit was less pointy in its neutral state; not sure if it was the same number of faces this puzzle either (too lazy to check right now)
