What's Tron/Tron LE like? Post #22 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by mykquillion – in Website ‐ Last reply over 12 years ago
I may be forgetting something, but I think this pretty much covers the bases. No, I think that pretty well covers it. And if you are wondering if the end product for the LE is good, then I can chime in. I loved it. I don't even care about the TRON title, and the fact that it is a Disney title, made me worry, but playing the LE, it was awesome. No idea if it's worth that much compared to other machines to get to the Czech Republic, but I had a lot of fun and I don't think it would get boring quickly.

What's Tron/Tron LE like? Post #14 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by scscottc – in Website ‐ Last reply over 12 years ago
Pinballslave... Did you happen to look at the forum post yesterday where Best Buy is now selling pins? They have the regular version of Tron for $4,799. Kinda blows away the seller offering it for $1500 off of the $8,000 LE version. At the very least maybe you can use that as a bargaining point to get a better deal.

Stern's Transformers LE Rumored to be 8K or More.. Post #15 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by gweempose – in Website ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
Stern has been keeping a close eye on JJP, and they see what he's charging for WOZ and people are paying the price around 7K-7.5K ... Realistically, most of the WOZ’s sold for $6,500. That’s a far cry from $8,000. I wouldn’t give any weight to this rumor. Transformers or not, 8K is just not a realistic price point. It would be an almost 40% increase over what the Tron LE’s sold for, and that’s just insane!

I wont be buying it at that cost. I don't think that $8-10K (MSRP) "quote" in the article was from Stern. Also, I believe the MSRP for Tron LE was $8k. Having said that, the buzz seems to be that Stern will be adding more substance to Transformers and costs could be higher as a result.

Also the Transformers has a 'new way to play pinball'. I like the current way to play pinball. I wouldn't get a TRON Pro but I would get an LE. The extra music and mode makes me not want the pro at all. I would go with TSPP over IM. If you don't like it, you can easily sell it and get your Transformers later when it comes out.

I added the pinball pro sub. It sounds amazing in tron. I also did a full LED conversion of the PRO. Since you're able to use colored LEDs, the LED scheme looks way nicer than the LE version of the game. I also ordered a fiber optic light emitter and 10 meters of 21 strand fiber optic cable. I'm going to try to do the ramps like the LE model. The emitter and fiber cable was about $275.

My Tron:LE arrives tomorrow so I can't speak to that just yet, but as of right now I would say LOTR hands down. If this is going to be your only machine forever it will serve you well with it's deep ruleset and great theme. It is just a fantastic pin all the way around. Of course if you don't care for the theme then that all goes out the window. But honestly... Don't kid yourself. Pins are like Lay's Potato Chips. You can't stop with just one! :D

Playing a location machine may skew your perception of it but I'm really close to dumping my Tron LE and keeping IM cause I just feel it's the better game. There is strategy in how you need to shoot at the targets with magnets. Watch the PAPA tutorial, you'll get a better appreciation of IM after!

Posted over 13 years ago by smassa – in Website ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
Ok guys just unboxed my LE & right near the pop bumpers just above the mini tron arcade unit there is a metal post that looks like it needs a mini post rubber. Just to the left of the lower middle pop bumper. Any of you that have got your have a rubber there or is it just a metal post also?

That's a nice collection Smassa with Woz no matter what you decide! Based on what Tatman said I guess I might keep IM and SM over MM..... Ok Tatman, since I'm not going for the Tron LE and both of you guys regard SM so highly I'm gonna go SM Nib! As a newcomer, that will give me WOZ, LOTR LE and SM......

You realize that if you let SM go, you'll have to change your Avatar right? Thats the least of my problems.....LOL I'm going to wait till I get Tron LE to see how similar the game play is to either IM or SM.....Ive heard its fast like IM but may have some similarities to SM with the 3-bank target & upper flipper shot.

Is $5,000 a good price for a NIB LOTR LE? Post #17 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by iceman44 – in Pinball machines for sale ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
... , Nimble would be the best judge of that for you, since he just bought the Tron LE as well and I know you have seen his masterpiece that he put together on LOTR ... LE! As for NIB's, you will see almost any recent title you can think of available ... SM NIB's from distributors right now? There were 400 of Tron LE and 500 of LOTR LE made and I guarantee you, there will be plenty of Tron LE NIB's available from distributors a year from now!

Is $5,000 a good price for a NIB LOTR LE? Post #7 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by iceman44 – in Pinball machines for sale ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
I paid $5250 for my LOTR LE NIB with shaker and free shipping so if you can pick it up I'd say it's a really good deal...... Automated, the place I bought mine from, has them for $5895 without the shaker and same thing for a NIB Spidey......Tron LE is going for $6295..... You won't find a NIB any cheaper or even close to that price.....

Hes here in Chicag so about an hour from you Holy crap! That's a little more than I'd want to pay for an Episode 1. :lol: Decent HUO's of it go for around $2K it seems.

I would not say TRON is spidey on steroids as the playfield is more sparse. I would say it is a FASTER game with a very crazy ball that is unpredictable. They are very different. I had a spidey and traded it though. But, I also had a MB, CV, TZ so I do not keep a game just because it has a high fan base. The recognizer does nothing at all.. JUST moves. It is not big deal. LE your paying for Chrome, Lit ramps, and game code changes along with some other stuff. I dig the ramp lights so I am happy.

Upgrading a regular TRON to LE ? Post #1 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by robin – in All modding! ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
I was just wondering, what are the main differences between the regular, the pro and the LE editions of TRON? And would it be easy to transform a regular TRON into an LE one? Is the software different between the three? And is it interchangeable or "locked" like LOTR? Reason I'm asking is because getting your hands on a regular TRON is quite easy, but the LE's are all sold out.

We have not seen WOZ yet in completion but ... any regrets I think it is a blast to play. I don't think many will be disappointed with TRON LE. I bet when I get the shaker it will even get better.

Looks cool - I am so jealous of the Tron LE owners :P Not sure if the circuit boards are good or bad.... Good: Reliability, LEDs = longer life & No connectors = less little problems. Bad: If an LED goes out (uncommon), it will be a harder fix.

It looks great. No ghosting. I like how they look. The game is very fun and fast. What do you think coasterguy? I have about 50 games on mine so far. Have you gotten daft punk multiball yet? That is the mode the regular TRON dose not have. Hit left ramp 4 times to spell Daft hit right ramp 4 times to spell punk. It will play a new tune only the LE has and the ramps are the only think lite up.black out mode.

Not sure what is up with the coin door. I don't like it. Just another example of cost cutting. Considering how much they charge for the LE's, I think it's kind of ridiculous. Edit: I just looked at some photos of the regular Tron, and it has the normal door with two coinslots. Now I'm even more confused. :thinking:

I dont think Tron is better then LOTR or TSPP It is just different playing... Much like SM and LOTR are polar opposites, but both great games. TRON is a tad bit better than TSPP- and just slightly under SM and LOTR. I am glad I got the LE... No buyers remorse on this one guys! :D

Tron Le production Post #11 in topic
Posted over 13 years ago by emo – in Website ‐ Last reply over 13 years ago
I have a friend with a Tron on order who tells me he has been told the first batch, which includes a few LE's is due in to the UK this month. He hasn't received a definite date as yet so it may not happen. There are no Tron's yet in the UK or in Europe as far as I know, other than one test one in Belgium somewhere. That is why there hasn't been a Pinball News review yet so don't begrudge us a batch. Stern need to keep the market going over this side of the water as well. :applause:
