Why is TRON not on the game list for California extreme in July?

It's crazy to me that Stern would not make sure to have the new TRON machine at CAX to help with marketing and sales. CAX is a huge event held in July with hundreds of pinball machines and arcades in Northern California. Anyone have a contact at Stern that we can email regarding this?? Or would it be more appropriate to contact a distributor? It is such a huge event in a large market not sure why they wouldn't have a TRON on site especially so close to the release.

Not getting a season pass until they have that machine.

No confirmation that it will be at the Seattle show, but I totally agree with you, Dude. It needs to debut at the Gameroom Show AND CAX to get the best exposure. They can't wait until PPE, the excitement would die down.

Good news laughingotter!! I may have just ensured that there is one there for CAX. Not sure why the organizers at CAX did not try to contact Stern about this. I got the following email after contacting Stern:

We are working with some of our dealers and they should be contacting you shortly.
Stern will try to make this work out for you.
Please keep me posted.

Keep Flipping!

Great news! Hopefully there will be a huge line at it so lots of other games are wide open.

For any of you folks that have been to CAX before, how crowded should I expect it to be?

It gets pretty crowded. But, usually if you wait behind a player on a pin they see you and either offer to add you in on the next game or let you have it. Some people are rude and play 4 players when there is just one playing but that is not the norm usually everyone is nice.
