Everyone screamed for another run of ACDC ...Stern delivered and they didn't sell like hotcakes. Same screaming with Tron....you have the 50-75 people on Pinside who can't be bothered buying a nice used one, instead waiting years for that "magical vault" to be released. In the meantime, prices go up a couple thousand on the used machines. Here's a couple things to look at. 1) if Stern knew they would make a ton of money, they probably would run them. They are not dumb, but in the business for profit. 2) if they do run them, and used Pro's are in the $7k range, why the hell would they release a vault with LE features and price it lower than a used pro? 3) everyone was convinced this fall would be a Tron classic movie pin released.... where's that? Where's the regular vault? Sources confirmed it was going to happen but yet, here we are the end of 2018 and nothing.
It's cute that every so often a new "make Tron VE" comes up here, but damn, don't pop a woody over something that doesn't make business sense...Tron VE remake at a pro price with LE features is NOT going to happen. Just bite the bullet, buy a used game, and enjoy a modern classic. I really hope they do make another run, as it's a killer game.
