TRON Posters (Around 40 of these)
TRON Hats (4)
TRON Handbags (2)
Magazines (Hundreds of these with all sorts of articles about TRON)
TRON Board Game
TRON Pins (30+)

There's lots of other stuff too. Believe it or not, I am actually considering selling it all.

TRON has been a great part of my life, but I have come to the realization that my collecting and archiving of this stuff is keeping me from achieving other things in my life right now. Very painful feeling by the way, but I need to build something that is mine, and that can never be TRON. It's been a blast, but I feel a pull away from it for now.

I haven't decided to do this just yet, I need to talk to Steven, Richard and Harrison to see if they want some of it or have other ideas for it.

I might offer it to a Sci-Fi museum I know of too.

I may also keep it and just store it for 20 years and amuse my grandkids with how big of a geek grandpa is.

I don't know.

Right now I just want to know what some of you would realistically be willing to pay for something like this if you could and wanted to. C'mon, toss me some numbers here folks.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Good suggestions.

Rough numbers, but last time I checked, an arcade game like TRON and Disk of TRON can fetch around $1,500 each. The Mercury statue, I'd estimate to be around $850-1000. Original TOMY'S worth, eh, $100 total. RAH Cycles in boxes 'round $100-120 Kubrick toys could easily fetch $150
Oh, and DaveTRON,
Promise me.
They will.
Get.
A good.
Home.
Or I will hunt you down and turn you into the MCP!
Joking asides, I would love to see items in a museum. For instance, the Mercury statue is a one-of-a-kind and, although I know there are people who'd probably take good care of it, I don't think it should be sold to a private collector.
Dave, I really, relly hope you've thought this through. This is a monumental decision if you ever feel like you have too much stuff, work your way up. Sell the less valuable stuuf until you reach things like the Arcade games and the Mercury statue. I suggest you keep those for yourself, or at lease think about it for a bit longer. The magazines, I suggest you seal and put in a box to reminisce with later.
It's a sad day when a collector parts with his collection. We're here for you Dave.
On a side note, I'd be willing to pay $20-30 each for the Kubrick sets A & B, unless you want to seel the WHOLE collection at once.
I'm really hoping you decide not to sell anything at all

Davetron Do you have an actual storgae locker of some sort that you are using like for home where it is offsite from the house itself. And can be stored there? Come to think of it. I have seen up here places like that where where it is essentially like a mini or normal garage that you can rent out and store stuff in it. Might be worth checking out if you are going that route and just keep a couple of this still within the home whiel the others are off site for the time being.

DaveTRON Wroteon't get me wrong, I am simply exploring the idea. My wife, who dislikes TRON, but loves me and my frieinds from TRON, is trying to prevent me from doing this. Best bet may be to simply put it away in storage for a long time until I get myself set in this new area of my life. I can't help it, my cameras need my attention, and I am starting to make some traction with other creative people. I wanna be a photographer dang it! So just consider these things ideas for now, and if I do decide to make the painful choice to actually part with them, I would expect them to find good homes with many of you before anyone else. I appreciate your suggestions, and I'll keep you posted on my decision, but I need to do something soon.

Whoa

I hope in the end that you decide to stay with your extensive TRON collection. I can't think of a bigger TRON fan than you, to be honest. The collection is already right where it should be. Either that, or in a good museum, as was put out there.

This reminds me a little of my The Empire Strikes Back scene in my bedroom from the early 80's. When I started having girls to my house (parent's house), I quickly took it down. It was a really cool action scene recreation of the battle of Hoth made out of the toy play sets, AT-AT, snow speeders attacking it, figures, additional snow surface, background scenery (construction paper), etc. I had several other SW toys on display on the shelves above it too. My little scene wasn't highly unique as the toys were (and still are) a dime a dozen, but it's gone now. I still have many of the items in storage, but the scene is gone for good. It looked so frickin' cool. I never even got a picture of it. And I took it all down because of a new phase of my life - GIRLS! I felt it was time to let go of childhood stuff and just be a cool teen (or try to be cool, anyway). How I wish I kept it up and eventually packed it up with more care than I did (of course, had to move sooner or later).

Changes/phases in life come and go, or we move beyond them, or however you want to look at it. But your TRON collection is very unique. Phase be gone or not, I think you'll always be a big TRON fan. I will be. Think long and hard before removing your cherished collection.

At least if in the end, "it all has to go", I know you'll see to it that it ends up with a person, people, or organization that will take good care of it.

TRON novel in Hebrew?! Priceless!!

Hang on to ALL of it Dave, just think about when(if) the new movie comes out, you will be able to add merch from that to to your collection!

Can't add too much that hasn't already been said, except to say: if you sell part or all of your collection and change your mind later, it will probably be quite difficult to re-acquire some items. So you might end up regretting it later.

But if money/storage space is a concern right now, then obviously that's a priority and hobbies come later.

If you do have the space to store it and money isn't a concern at the moment, I'd store it away and stop collecting new items for now.

Failing that, donating to a museum would be an awesome thing to do. Knowing that these TRON items would be preserved and could be seen by the public, would be a great feeling.

I have no idea of the worth of your collection, but I'd imagine it would be somewhere in the tens of thousands for the whole thing, at least.

DaveTRON Wroteon't get me wrong, I am simply exploring the idea. ... Best bet may be to simply put it away in storage for a long time until I get myself set in this new area of my life. .

Putting it all into storage is probably the best idea for now. Out of sight, out of mind, right? After you've established yourself and you have some perspective, then you can decide what to do.

I wish you good luck in your photography business endeavor, by the way.

tronprogram Wroteave, There's some stuff you have that I don't, so I'd be more than willing to buy some of it from you. If you're really serious, let's talk. Email me

Yeah, I want you to have eveything!

I had considered that too. You will be alerted should I decide to part with it.

Honestly, I am leaning towards storing it right now. Money for equipment would be nice, but I can earn that too.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online
