..and where does it end?? Just got Kim's awesome Recognizer and LC mods. Add that to the mini cab, the pinbits plastics, speakers, etc...then the upcoming Eli's ramp lights for the pro brigade. Come to think of it..$1k is probably too low a water mark! Can't do it properly for less. And given Stern have done, what, four runs now, there must be quite the cottage industry ballooning on the biggest modfest in history.

Quoted from TimeBandit:

Not really sure it does end, it just keeps going and going and going!

Kept a spreadsheet with a tally of the Tron mod totals and the grand total is $1,693. Yikes!

#4 10 years ago

Mine is high. The $300 plus blue dmd does not help

#5 10 years ago

Everyone should have Eli's ramp kit and Eli's arcade kit. You're over halfway there with those two.

#6 10 years ago

I was right around $1000. You'll never see all of that money back, but it's a great ride. Modding is half the fun.

#7 10 years ago

Next to TZ, think I've spent easily over 1k if not closer to two. Game just looks damn cool with the more put into it. Include upgrading the sound system which has nothing to do with the game play but the experience and you'll see a few more franklins missing from your pockets! Got love it!

#8 10 years ago

I don't even want to add it all up, well over $1000 mark.

#9 10 years ago

I will be over the 1K mark on my LE once I get my chrome door and blue DMD but the game is never leaving. It is probably my favorite game I own.

#10 10 years ago

Once Eli takes my money I'll be well over - and heck I might be now when you add up LC + Arcade + LCD OCD + Remote + support rails + protectors + LEDs + stickers + recognizer + pinbits + who the hell know what else I've bought while drinking too much between my game order and its arrival. I have a file of pinball receipts that I don't dare add up. I'd probably get sick and sell something.

#11 10 years ago

I am over 1000 with the shaker and still going.

How many people have spent over $2000?

10
#15 10 years ago

I think the best question you can ask is who has Tron and "hasn't" spent over 1k in mods...

I'm with the honey tiger! $1k, lol! lowell! that's what I'd tell my wife!

Wait just a second .. who is this "TimeBandit" from "Australia"

#17 10 years ago

Seriously 1k is the beginning on that game.

#18 10 years ago

I've spent much more than 1k on mods for my Tron.

#19 10 years ago

Im might have passed 2.5K now, havent tallied it up lately

#20 10 years ago

I think I have around $3500 into mine and still have some stuff to do.

#21 10 years ago

I definitely do not have over $1k in mods on my Tron.

But then again, it's an LE.

#22 10 years ago

I was just gonna ask where Center was.

#23 10 years ago

Nope. I've got an LE.

Are you sure you want to be saying that in public buddy?

As for the thread,
$1K? Pffffft...
Oh yeah, many cycles ago. LE or otherwise, if you love Tron, you're in for some spendin'!

#27 10 years ago
Quoted from jarjarisgod:

Nope. I've got an LE.

Ya..same, but still need, like, everything except ramp lights. Oh and we don't need the drop target mod..hehe

Just another pinhead with ADD (admit it..we're all on the spectrum), finding the update rate of the pinside forum more fluid than the AussieArcade one. Pity I can't buy most of the FS stuff!

There's a new NIN album to be listened to! Meaning I am in a delirious state and cannot be held accountable for anything typed while in said delirium.

Wow. Anything missing or is that just about everything? Also, is Eli's kit available yet? I would love to see some more pics of the mods! Great job.

#36 10 years ago

The latch lockdown bar to standard lockdown is a must do mod in my opinion. I dont think ChadNC listed that.

Great looking machine right here! Do you have the blue start button on it as well?

That comes with the armor kit.

#39 10 years ago

That list is pretty comprehensive. Maybe add a PIG to wire up all the mods?

Crap, forgot about my pig, and blue start button, and subwoofer, and....

#42 10 years ago

I tallied up all the mods I can remember right now. Comes to $4230... I could have gotten another nice machine for that, but I absolutely love my Tron and wouldn't do it any differently.

#44 10 years ago

Dude, you saw my topper! I just have to send it to Zdoor first because there's no way I can wire it up myself

Oh Yeah, I'm too tired to read through the list you have, the flynn cycle.....Argh I just strained my eyes.....

It's cool I'd like to see a list of your mods at some point and see some overall pictures with your topper and everything. I don't think I've see it in it's entiretly, what I have seen looks really good though.

#47 10 years ago

mine is well over $1000, but worth every penny, and looks better than the LE's machine!

#48 10 years ago

If powder coating counts as a mod, then yes.

#49 10 years ago

I just bought one and the seller added up his mods to $900-$1000

#50 10 years ago

Ill list it up tomorrow night, about to crash but here is a few fun pics...
