Quoted from Whysnow:If you want a tron, just go buy one! They are plentiful and reasonably priced already.
Not in the UK they aren't.

I'm sure you would accept that the shipping of individual pins internationally is not terribly cost effective.
I can't imagine it being £500. I tried to get a large book sent over from the US recently and shipping was going to be around $100. And you know, you'd have to be pretty confident of the seller and shipper to shell out over £6000 for a pin you've not seen, to be packed by someone else and carted across the ocean by some shipping firm who I'm sure would take good care of it. Sounds like a horror story waiting to happen. I'll just wait for the flying pig on a UK based Tron for sale or a VE.
I have plenty of experience in purchasing items from around the world and have had my fair amount of problems over the years. But yes, I've not attempted that with a pinball machine but my other experiences have me rather cautious, which given the cost and complexity of the machine we are talking about would be a rather reasonable reaction I would think.
I've not seen a TronLE actually for sale in London yet. Not that many around these parts it would seem. Heighway's Alien will have the fibreoptic ramps so that may have to fill the Tron requirement.
