I like Maiden as a game, but TRON so much more as a theme... and it’s a decent game too.

i prefer Sam system over Spike so TRON stays

Tron....

Hard for me to say as I own and love both. I have Tron for 8 years since NIB and IMDN 6 months . I love IMDN as a band and its so fresh in my collection.

In my case for me .... I would say yes but each situation is different.

The Super Jackpot? It's awesome, challenging to get from the left lower flipper or left upper after a shot around the loop. It's super satisfying to land for the Trooper Multiball Card, among other things. There are no bad shots in IMDN, some challenging, even maddening, like the lower left spinner, but all excellent.

Just look at the poll. The "Players" have spoken to you. Grasshopper you must choose wisely. Don't let peer pressure get to you. The grass isn't always greener, once your onthe other side. Then there's no turning back.

I have the same problem ... I'm hesitant to change iron man vault vs gotg ... or deadpool ...
in your case I would change another one that was easier to recover as pirates of the Caribbean and add money ...

tron win ! keep it

As well as TRON being Sterns best music pin...

Iron Maiden has Eddie

Get IMDN now and pick up Tron when the vault edition comes (hopefully with lighted ramps ect)

I don't think a tron vault will ever happen. It's been rumored for several years now.

Not having a Tron Vault is so weird. It's like there's a lot of money on the table for Stern just sitting there if they'd do it. I know I'd be in as I missed getting in on the original production run. Yeah, I could buy a used original, but at the current costs of those used originals, I figured I'd just wait for a Vault. And I've been waiting... and waiting...

I almost paid $10k for an original AC/DC LUCI all modded out and I keep delaying and almost pulled the trigger on the vault AC/DC , then in March my dreams came true. Saved $2,500 . That other game is still available for those who want an original.

I'd trade Tron for Maiden in a heartbeat.

Phenomenal rules and scoring balance, with plenty of "blow it up" opportunities for good players. No woodchopping like Tron.

Nah. Pro is tons of fun. Premium extras are mostly tucked in the back of the playfield, add very little to gameplay. Art package is nice, though.

It's possible Disney has zero interest in relicensing an eight-year-old film from a dormant/dead property. That said, I would sell a kidney for a well-done Tron '82 vault edition.

To be clear, there’s 5-10x the code in Maiden than Tron. Every shot feels good. Ball rarely stops. Multiball is a challenge, because upper flippers block you when cradling. Despite being deep, you always feel you have a chance to blow things up. Few cheap drains — Actually maybe none at all. It’s balanced. Pro is the way to go.

Once Tron VE is announced, the value in originals will drop.

No problem with selling Tron (I’ve done it twice). Tron is the coolest pin. Lots of fun. Tough. Not deep. Things get old. I would pocket the cash and get a Maiden Pro HUO.

They are remodeling The entire “Future” area of the Magic Kingdom with a new Tron LightCycle Roller Coaster based on the new movie and they started releasing Legos from the 2010 movie.

Cool, thanks for the heads up! I'm gonna go broke when my little guy is big enough for Legos.

This probably has more to do with the success and popularity of the Lightcycle coaster in Shanghai (it is one of the most popular attractions) rather than Disney trying to revive Tron, they have all but buried the franchise

You should google the Roller coaster on YouTube, they are copying the design from the Disney in Shanghai, it’s another level of immersive experience.

I just did. Awesome! And I'm not a coaster or theme park guy. I was dreading having to take the kid to Disney someday, but now maybe not so much.

I would keep TRON and sell SM or TSPP and get Maiden.

I have a TRON LE that's a keeper and an IMDN Premium that I'm really enjoying.

"Sell TSPP" is rarely a bad idea. That game hasn't aged well.

Really?!?! I haven't played it in a few years, but what's wrong with it? I always thought it was amazing.

Half the shots stop the ball, clunky WhiteStar feel (especially slings), poor audio quality, flat scoring. At the time I was blown away by the broad ruleset where everything stacked with everything, but a lot of games have done that since, with more flow and on far superior SAM & Spike platforms.

I bought my Tron in January of 2012. It was a relative bargain compared to today. And in that time I've watched the value go up as they became more "rare", and plummet with each new run (a new run what a Vault used to be called). Tron goes up, Tron goes down. And during that whole time I've probably played it a couple thousand times. I wouldn't care if the value went below what I paid in 2012, I'd still keep it. Tron isn't about value, it is about fun. Announce that VE, and let more people get Welcomed to the grid grid grid...

Tron is SAM.

Sorry, I was referring to the TSPP post above mine. I should've quoted. (fixed now)

Uhh, I think you already answered your own question there jorant.

If a game doesn’t get played at least ONCE in a month’s time around here, out it goes. No matter how good of a machine it may or may not be.
Why waste the space?

TSPPs custom callouts, unique toys and 5 flippers have certainly aged well. Not for everyone, but not the dog it's being made out to be here. All games can be made brutally hard, even for top players.

This is your answer. Enjoy the games you have and revisit this at a later date.

I still love my TSPP, as well....Gotta have different styles of gameplay...A great game.... Tron rules life on the grid, but choice is good...Long 4 player games? LOTR is the last one I ran from....

TRON VE will come if $tern has the final say.

I sold my TRON:LE that I bought NIB for a DI:LE and I have no regrets. TRON is fun and the ramp light show is good but it was starting to show it’s age with the recent excellent releases, so I figured it was good to exit at the top of the market and take my 100% profit.

TRON was an amazing game when it came out but now there’s so many great new releases, each new one makes it drop slightly more.

Objectively I consider IM a superior playing game although the light show isn’t quite as amazing. I’d try to find some other way to have both but wouldn’t feel too bad picking IM over it.

Neither.

But it is only my personal opinion.

I suppose the term "classic" is harder to pin on a Stern release that a B/W at this point. TronLE will always be a classic Stern to me.....

You could argue TAF and TZ have been replaced with more current, flashier, deeper games.....doubt that would change people from wanting to have one, or enjoy playing it.

Yeah that's a dream modern lineup for me. You can't go wrong with Borg & Lyman. Wish Stern would realize there is a large segment of pin enthusiasts who weren't in the hobby when Tron was last produced, but have since fallen in love with that game. For the millionth time, make a TronVE happen already.

I feel like we all have closure now, it wasn’t climatic, it wasn’t the ending we wanted but the ending we deserved! This thread can officially be closed! Cue the law and order clang sound.

Glad to see your keeping Tron rai there’s peace on the grid again.

Is that your final answer?

No need to rush into a new Stern game since they are in production for 3 years.

You guys can do what you want, but I would never trade my Iron Maiden LE for a tron. I would not trade it for any other game out there.
I am a big Iron Maiden fan so I had to got this game. But this time there was no honeymoon phase with Iron Maiden. The first weeks I thought this game is good but not the best and I liked it less than I do normaly with new games. But over time and more plays, understanding the rules I liked it more and more. Not only cause of the theme. It just is one of the best games ever. Tron comes not even close for me.

I am referring to the original production run as being 3 years. With all the new titles that Stern is now putting out in the future, there would no guarantee a remake or VE would be done.
