Faefrost Posted February 13, 2018 On 1/21/2018 at 7:36 PM, Whovastron said: Lego Ideas have been officially said to never have new moulder parts due to budget as far as I’m aware. Doc Brown, Peter Venkman and the Doctor got hair from the Dimensions budget, along with the sonic screwdriver for the Doctor. Like most things in life, it’s a little more com0licated than that. You cannot propose a project that requires new parts or molds, or parts that are no longer in production. But this restriction is on the Ideas participant. The in house design team that is generating the final product will know what new and upcoming parts are being designed or discussed and depending on circumstance may have input and access to the new parts. They will not create new molds for an Ideas set, but an Ideas set may on rare occasion get to use a new general purpose mold first. Such as with Venkman’s hair. You can see where Tron could easily benefit from this sort of thing. There might be a few parts intended for the Last now cancelled Nexo Knight sets that show up in the Tron set. Didn’t we also see a few parts originally intended for Alien Conquest wave 2, quickly show up in CMF’s? Like the Space Marine Armor? Short answer, the civilian that proposes the set can’t ask for new parts. The Lego designer can’t ask for new parts just for an Ideas set, but may be able to use upcoming as yet unrevealed parts, and may also be able to use the Ideas set as extra justification for a new part already being considered for something else. Does that make sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, those are the guys we've seen around for a little while now from multiple leak sources, only that Sam Flynn isn't present in that picture particularly. 2 hours ago, Falconfan1414 said: I would delete that photo I’m not sure your allowed to post leaked figures here Ditto, as they're not necessarily figures from a set that has been put out for sale prematurely. 2 hours ago, Faefrost said: Didn’t we also see a few parts originally intended for Alien Conquest wave 2, quickly show up in CMF’s?

I didn't think EB wasn't allowed to show any form of leaked or early release images anymore. I know confidential watermarked images are a no-go. If a mod wants it removed then I'll happily delete it or I'm sure they'll do it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julesvincent Posted February 13, 2018 I saw the movie again yesterday and I can‘t wait for this set. Since it features Rinzler I guess there‘ll be a second light cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seasider Posted February 15, 2018 I'm hoping the set contains 2 light cycles the "modern" Black one and the white "retro" one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, I do suppose that we only got the HQ since there was a rejected Ideas project preceding it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any more than that just has to be overpriced, as I don't think the final product will end up exceed three hundred parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably look at the march calender. There is a picture on Instagram from an Italian Store calender from April that says that a tron set is coming, but there is no picture and no price. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickSantorum Posted March 2, 2018 Well, either they’re not releasing it in the U.S. in April, or they’re not promoting it on the April U.S. calendar, because that calendar is out for everyone to see, and there’s nothing about the Tron set on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whovastron Posted March 4, 2018 I think it was more a ‘coming soon’ thing, so maybe it’s May? Or late April Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAFOL Posted March 6, 2018 Any guesses on the price for this set? As there are probably 2 light cycles and 3 minifigures included, my prediction would be around $30,-/$35,-. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
