I think your "player's perspective" in the video is off, unless the cameraman is 7 foot tall. It's making the screen look very washed out in that part of the video (because LCD viewing angles typically suck). Also, the screenshot with it laid out like Jack/Pot irritates me, because that's not two words. Yes, it's a nitpick.

If this came out 8 years ago it would've sold thousands. Now people have spent thousands on mods already and this mod is going to require them to remove the Lightcycles off the ramps...no doubt some will prefer this, but if I still had EITHER of my Trons, I think I'd have a hard time making that choice to remove the lit hallmark ones or not. Less of a difficult decision if still running stock!

Quoted from Yelobird:

Holly Wow! Tron values just went UP!

I doubt that, for the reason above, and also, while Tron is the most likely game to recover your money in mods....at some point there's a limit. Pros are already going for NIB LE prices. That's ridiculous, regardless of how many mods are on it. Stern is the biggest bunch of morons known to man for not trying their hardest to get the license back and re-run the game at this point. They'd be charging 5600 or whatever for a Pro without any of the 'new expensive tech', making 1200 free bucks on each game due to "pinflation" from the last 10 years.

Quoted from ToucanF16:

I can say at least three of your games are on our list! Otherwise, alright, guess I've gotta get busy!
littlecammi and I have 9 games in common. Compy, how many games are potential for my collection?

I see what you did there...

I really appreciate the refreshing honesty here, even though I'm not a potential buyer. Maybe in the future...who knows. I'm still sitting on a new Tron playfield....

Quoted from kklank:

I will gladly relocate the light cycles mod to have this mod. Light cycles don’t do squat for me.

So you bought for gameplay rather than theme then. Okay? That's perfectly fine.

*edit* The positioning of the cycles is pretty generic really...they could probably be moved to other parts of the ramp that are less obtrusive to this mod if someone were really inclined to do it, assuming there's clearance. I can't remember if there's a flange of extra plastic where they are or if they're just drilled into the normal ramp edge width.

Quoted from Compy:

2. What about my lightcycles?
Our mod can still function very well with the Hallmark Light Cycles in front, but we're also designing alternate brackets so that they can be moved farther to the sides for those that wish to keep them out of the way

Ha, called it. Nice.

Quoted from Compy:

This is indeed something that was considered, but reorganizing the moving recognizer into a more compact assembly gives us more options (including providing it to people with pro games).

You son of a bitch!

If you do that, I'll HAVE to buy one, and I don't even own a Tron anymore! (But would like to someday.)

Okay, is it Eric, or Chaz? LOL. If they're printing plastics like this, I need to talk to them about my Crescendo plastics...
