Quoted from JosiahCox:

*protip* You want a Tron???? Go buy one.

I will, just as soon as a VE comes out. I absolutely refuse to pay the current prices for a Tron. I haven't seen a Tron (modded or not) sub $5K in quite a while. People say they are out there but for those of us without connection they are not. Most Trons are $5-$5.5K. Add in shipping and you are getting to $6 real fast. No way I'll ever pay that for a Pro, especially used.

Quoted from Pimp77:

Not only that...but most of the posters in here seem to own a TRON LE or Tron pro already. Why are you interested in the VE???

Just protecting there investments. No owner wants prices to come down. Just like no, non-owner wants prices to stay where they are.

Quoted from Deez:

I hope someone from Stern is reading this thread and can see the passion for the release of the Tron VE.

I'm sure they could sell a couple hundred pretty easy at IMVE pricing. Just make it the same as it came before just in the new cab (as I'm sure they wont make anything in the old cab now). If it happens, I'm buying. If not, no Tron for me I guess.

Quoted from o-din:

Interest is one thing, but buyers are another. A VE Tron would probably end up costing north of 5k in a configuration like the original Pro. Any extra parts added would increase that amount. How many of those that are pumping for this to happen have $5500 ready to plunk down on this? I figure if they did they would already have one.

Why would it have to be north of $5K?

ST Pro, MET Pro, TWD Pro are all sub $5K shipped and I would argue all have more production cost in them for parts. Tron is a very basic game and only has one toy (if you call the disc a toy). Tron doesn't have more parts than any of these games so I don't see the merit in the argument that it would have to be $5K plus. Maybe if they did the ramp lights but I highly doubt they would. What would come out would be a bare bones Tron with the new cab and all white LED's.

Quoted from o-din:

Aren't lighted ramps already available for pros? Are there not enough existing pros to go around?

Obviously not or bare bones Trons in HUO condition wouldn't be selling for $5K+. And if you want an unmodded one they are even more impossible to find. I'd personally rather have an unmodded one than a modded one. Most the mods on these games I couldn't care less about (light cycles and arcade for instance).
