Well, I went to Best Buy on a joke seeing if my 10% off coupon they sent me for my B-day would work on Tron pin. Well it won't but the manager was willing to help out by meeting pinballs.com's price half way ($300 off). Grand total after shipping and tax is just under $4900. I was going to walk, but my wife actually talked me into it. With the 0% financing deal, it's hard not to justify buying one. So someday between 9/22 & 9/29 I will have my NIB Tron pin! :D

FWIW, I am apparently the first person to order a pin from Best Buy in Colorado. The employees at the store didn't even know they sold them lol. Has anyone else bought one from Best Buy?
 
After playing both, the difference didn't seem to justify the price. I do like the EL wire, so that might be a "someday" mod.

I own the LE and recently played a Pro at Gamewarp, and I must say that while it plays very much alike, the LE is a huge standout with the upgrades.. but if I didn't have the LE and wasn't such a huge Tron fan willing to drop the extra money, I'd be totally happy with the Pro version.

Congrats on your purchase!! I'll bet the wait will feel like forever, I know it did for me when I ordered my LE... I was like a kid at christmas.
 
I'm having a b-day party on 9/24, so I'm hoping it's on the early end of those dates. Was yours near the begining or end of the window?
 
Congrats on your new retail purchase. POIDH when it arrives!





I originally clicked on this thread because I thought it had "dildo" on the WTFBBQ title. Just being honest. The mysteriously appearing sex toy threads are always a hoot.

Park Meadows or Southwest Plaza?

I read dildo BBQ and that's why I clicked it.

Nice purchase BTW, Tron is a blast. I've played the Pro and LE and considered buying a Pro myself, didn't think the LE was worth the extra $$$ fdor me.
 
Cool. I'm about equally far from both of them myself. I'm out in Roxburough, if you know where that is.

Yes I do. I'm in Highlands Ranch, by HRHS

Just thought that it was interesting that there was someone close by.
 
You are about half way between my place and exidys. I'm thinking of having a tron/arcade party when it gets here. Possibly a denver area klov shindig?
 
Congrats on your Tron purchase. You will love the pin. I'm curious if you did any pricing from Distributers such as Pinballlife, Trent A., etc?
 
I did, and overall they would have been cheaper. It's the 0% interest they made me go with best buy. I would love to support the little guys in this hobby, but if it wasn't for best buys financing, I wouldn't have been able to buy one at all.

Thats what I figured. I did that when I got my Pioneer Elite Plasma. 0% interest for 3 years.
 
I dont have 0% financing but your price without any discount would be $4699 with shipping included from my store as well as many others.


Edit-just read the other posts. So I know now it was the financing.


Has anyone ever used bill me later? We are thinking about putting that on our site to give people a financing option.
 
i officially hate you :D

if i wasnt already in debt up to my eyeballs, constantly fixing out 2 krapbox cars id consider one.. mabye in a couple years they will be used and half off or better from what they cost now..
