TRON – is a real mixed bag of good and bad

here are my thoughts. Like your input, I am not a hater, just an analyst.

– available NIB right NOW from an additional couple runs. That shows it is desired by others or they would not be running more. Tempting. Tron came out in 2011, so it is not that old really.
The sound and theme are good
It is (or can be) a very pretty pin. I think it is the looks and sounds more than the game play that attracts people.
(issue is that it is not an LE) - which the main thing is the lighted ramps. That is the real draw. The lighted ramps are very theme related. Missing that, it is not as good. Clearly.
From pinside: LE has lit ramps, drop targets, silver artwork on playfield, LED's in inserts, moving recognizer, chrome package, daft punk multiball,
New pro gets - crappy latches, PEGS NOT RAILS UNDER THE PLAYFIELD! Red LED Dot Matrix.
The LE has TRON DROP targets. The pro has standups.
LE’s are crazy expensive – only due to relative scarcity! Only 400 made worldwide. If half are US, that is only 200 in the US. So, 4 per state. Yikes. I don’t think anyone will sell theirs.
People are always talking about lighted ramps. Not on the Pro.
Pro is missing a mode – Daft Punk – that’s game play that is missing
Nice mods are available, like the Tron Video game thing (which is awesome), and the flynns arcade sign, those colored pops and pinbits dress up kit.
However, the most important mod is the ramp lighting. Someone is making that right now. And he said it would be in the 400 cost range. So that is some big bucks for lights! I would say if that became available, it would be like having the LE without Daft Punk. So,
If you don’t have the lighted ramps, it is really a lesser pin
“More style than substance”
“Simple layout”
Since it has a movie DMD that knocks it down another notch. PLUS it has that 1/3 to 2/3 Display!
There are complaints about not getting extra balls. (that seems pretty serious)
The next run does not have the 3D back glass, and has that group of men (women smaller) with that faceless CLU character that is sort of plain looking. Another hit on its desirability.
And yet, still popular.

Add to its benefits that it has flow and speed then.

Maybe some more complexity (depth), better dots, less add-ons required to make it "right".
Not being in the shadow of the LE. I think this addtional run may also drop the price of the 2nd hand market for the pro.

This is what I mean by mods to make it right. Care to break that down?

People are dumping LE's now.

I didn't say everybody, so you should work on your comprehension.

I know that if I bought an LE, I would cash in right now, before it's too late. $$$

Here's more that were recently up for sale..

"Lessons learned on Tron"

Sell simplistic base models for a cheaper price, with higher margin. Check
Users spends thousands in add-ons with 3rd party vendors after purchase. (whoops)
Lost revenue on add-ons. $$$$$.$$ (whoops)
Additional runs, additional revenue received. Check
Addtional lost revenue on add-ons. $$$$$.$$ (whoops)

"Adjustment to be made based on lesson learned"

Do nothing

I own 2 Sterns. I like Stern machines. I can criticize Stern if I want. You go away or ignore me.

It's entertaining and humorous to me to see all users heavily modding after Stern's mistake.

If you can't see that, you are obviously either oblivious or in total denial.

It's a fair assessement of the Tron Pinball product.

You should not try to cover that up or stop statements of other posters.

Also, try to make a more focused post. You are all over the board. No way I am going to address all those random statements.

Mommy! That man said something that is different than I think!

I'm going call him a bad name and run away! Waaaaaa !!!

Scuba - Way to maintain yourself. Highest praise.

And you are proud of that?

If you have owned a Tron for over 6 months, and it is still stock, post a picture.

I've never seen one.
