After years of 'lurking' here on the boards, I'm finally putting forth the effort to contribute in any way that I can and as often as I can. On that note, why not start by sharing the absolute coolest Tron item(s) that I have
?
For those of you who don't collect vintage Tron items, all I can say is, what are you waiting for (see my thread in the general discussion forum)!?!
The lightcycles in the pic below are some of the rarest of all Tron items. They are bootlegs that were made in Taiwan and sold mainly in Canada but also throughout Asia. Finding them loose is quite a challenge but finding them loose with the driver and cord is impossible. Finding a boxed example can literally take years (trust me on this
). Although I don't know what colors Martin has boxed, I only know of two other boxed examples. Considering that these cycles came in 5 different colors, I'm not 100% sure that all of the colors have even been found MIB (mint in box) before. That is, until now!
All five Laser Cycle Bootlegs MIB!
To give you an idea of how rare these are, I've been looking for them since 2001/2 and have only seen ONE on eBay. Although I would sometimes go a week or two without searching for Tron items on eBay early on, I've faithfully searched for Tron items 2 to 3 times daily since 2002/03. Ever since I missed those Disney costume auctions, I've been searching with quite a bit of frequency ;^).
About the cycles themselves. The yellow one been removed from the box, but is still in near mint condition. The other 4 cycles are actually still SEALED!!!! Does anyone else have them? I would love to here from anyone else about these, or the Argentine 'motolaser' bootlegs.
