Greetings, Programs!

1) I have a question regarding the lightcycles toys. Does anyone know which colors were available for the original 80s releases? As you might guess, I'm speaking of the ones put out by Tomy for the 4"-scale figures.

I remember having an orange one. [In fact, I think I still have it tucked away in storage somewhere...] My younger brother got an orange one as well. I just don't recall exactly which other colors were available back then.

2) Also, for the release of the toys in more recent years (from NECA?), I think there were blue, red, orange AND yellow lightcycles available. Is this correct? Anyone know if any other colors were available from mass (non-custom) production?

3) Can anyone tell me if other 4"-scale figures or toys were planned (either in the 80s or more recently) for release? Interested in unproduced / unreleased toy trivia.

4) Did the Tron 2.0 toy line do well?

Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx in advance.

Best wishes,
Jayce

End of Line.

DaveTRON,

Greetings, Program!

Thanks for the data share.

I think you are correct in thinking my childhood lightcycles were the "red" ones that looked orange. Again, between my brother & I, we owned 2. They were the official release versions. I seem to recall which local store we bought them from. Sadly, the store no longer exists. I think the space has been filled by a car dealership, no less. [My] memory is still intact. Ha, ha.

I didn't even know bootleg lightcycles existed until I saw TimothyC's posted pic. [Saw that AFTER I started this post string. My bad.]
I must admit that there is an appeal to getting a green lightcycle & a silver (gray) one as well. [Don't get me wrong. I don't like to encourage bootlegging but, as fellow Tron fans, I'm guessing people know what I mean.]
I saw pics of the wire frame (black with green lines?) motorcycle on ebay. Medicom is one cool company. I bought TONS of toys from them when I lived in Japan (1997 - 2000). Too bad their Tron toys aren't of the 4" figure size. I'm more of a fan of that scale.

Still, with such a shortage of Tron-related merchandise out there, I may just go ahead & start collecting some of Medicom's Kubrick stuff. Heck, they even have a recognizer! Tiny but still cool.

Anyone know if any other cool Tron toys are coming down the pipe from any company/companies?

Best wishes,
Jayce

P.S. DaveTron, I recently bought one blue lightcycle & one yellow one (the toys released in recent years). I'm still hoping to purchase a red one. I may get 2 more blue lightcycles (a strain on the wallet, yes, I know...ouch) since I figure it would be cool to "re-enact" the 6-cycle scene from the film.

It's truly a shame that a Ram figure was never officially produced. Or the "enemy" bikers. I always stuck Sark or the warrior figure in my old bike when I needed a bad guy.

They should make a Dumont figure, too. Out of respect and affection.

Jayce,

Check out this picture and you'll see all five colors, that I know of anyway, that the bootleg cycles came in. Regarding the orange cycle, I've had that debate with a few people over the years. Honestly I think they were all a similar shade of red back in '82, but plastic breaks down with time and different batches have broken down at different rates. To answer your question specifically though I would say that there were only two different lightcycles available to 99.7% of us.

Although I've never seen any unproduced Tomy toys, I know that a complete set of hardcopies was found almost two years ago. The original light cycle models also turned up but the designer was wanting an *insane* amount of cash. The dealer that sold the hardcopy set sold them to a private individual and no one seems to know who this person is. Personally I'd pay $3000 for the set of four, but there are probably others willing to pay more . Out of curiosity, has anyone seen proof cards (prototype packaging) for the Tomy figures?

DaveTRON Wrote: I agree that there should be a Dumont toy, as well as RAM, Clu, Yori (Although she made it into the Medicom Kubrick line), and even the real world folks too. I'd love to see more toys in the line, but alas, I doubt we will.

I couldn't agree more! At some point in the next year or so I'm going to commision a toy sculptor that I know to make a custom Dumont for me. Yori is another must, but we'll see how nice Dumont turns out before I pay for others as well .

Sadly, I don't know of anything new. The resurgence of Tron toys in the last few years has been fantastic but I have a sinking feeling it's coming to an end.

DaveTRON Wrote:Tim, You own all five Lazer Cycles in boxes? How did you pull that off? I've never seen one on Ebay, let alone all five.

In a word, luck! I've bugged quite a few toy dealers over the years and have posted multiple wanted listings for them on a some toy forums that I belong to. I wound up buying one from an overseas seller that I had just bought some bootlegg Simpsons figures from (I had asked him about Tron stuff and he responded with a pic!). It wasn't very cheap although I would have paid multiples more if that's what it would have taken.

Long story short I pressured the seller for more info as he was a little weird about the deal and come to find out he had the others. It would have been awesome to have found them at a local toy show or something like that but I'm not complaining. They've been a holy grail of mine for years so I'm thrilled to have them. I'm guessing it's going to take me a solid 10 years to track down all of them MOC. After that the hunt will be on for a boxed moto-lazer (the Argentine bootleg) example .

Whoa, sorry to hear about your work situation Jayce. I can't fathom the thought of loose light cycles being an issue on a work desk/cube. Sounds like the boss has gone on some mad pointless power trip.

TimothyC, are those lightcycles the same size/scale as the ones from TOMY & NECA?

They are a good bit smaller. I would say they're probably about two-thirds the size of the TOMY/Neca cycles. In a way their size makes them neat, but at the same time they would be much cooler if you could actaully put TOMY figures inside them (and not that Gobot bootleg).

Those are the Medicom RAH 100 figures mentioned above.

I'm wondering if their versions allow for the cycle riders to sit head forward like in the movies. I'm doubting not, though.

I believe it does. I'll have to go look again, but I think the reason for the design of the figures, like old MIcronauts toys, was to allow them to hug the bike like the actors in the film.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Hi Jayce
Check out this link. Shows the figures leaning forward inside the cycles.

I've just been very lucky and got hold of the complete set. Really looking forward to receiving them and seeing what they're like
