Greetings programs,
I am a newcomer to the world of TRON, I hope I am not seen as a bandwagoneer but that is up to you :-)
My name is Zac and I am from New Zealand. I first saw TRON about two weeks ago, after having seen a trailer for Legacy at work (I am in electronics sales) many times I thought that I should at long last view the original. After managing to find a copy of 1982 TRON on DVD at a local video library - which i joined for the express purpose of hiring the film - I watched it and fell for the world and characters. That night my partner and I saw Legacy in 3D - she had been intrigued by the trailer - and we watched it again a week later!
I am now well into the singleplayer story on the PS3 version of Evolution, spend my lunch hour playing the official Disney TRON apps on my iPod, am hunting TRON 2.0 for my PC and am collecting occasional toys from the Legacy line!
It is great to find such a thriving fan community with rich discussion and a pool of true writing, drawing and other talents.
Kudos to you, programs, and I look forward to a great many cycles together.

Welcome to Tron-Sector, recognizerpilot.exe. Can I get a ride in your Reco?

Rinzler is MINE! *raises disks warningly*

*advances on recognizerpilot.exe* I care nothing for the lives of Users. Rinzler is MINE. Accept that or be derezzed.

I'm sure there are many others out there, in fact I was talking to a customer a month or so ago - he was watching one of the Evolution gameplay trailers I downloaded to show off the gaming PC - and he berated me for never having seen the 1982 film! I was in town today searching for figures and vehicles from Legacy but no joy as yet, I had to source my light cycles from an auction site. All I want is a Rinzler !!!

The only Tron stuff I've found is on Trademe, but they don't have what I want, (other than quite a bit of EL wire) I've also emailed a few toy places in my area and asked them if they'll be getting any Tron merch in anytime soon, haven't had a reply yet.

edit: Looked on the NZ site called Fishpond and they have a number of Tron Legacy stuff, some of which are 'currently unavailable'.

I was beginning to think I was the only Kiwi on here lol.
I've emailed Toyworld and a place called Toys r Fun, hopefully they'll get back to me tomorrow. If they aren't planning on getting any Tron merch in, I'll either wait for Fishpond to restock or buy from Amazon. I'm looking for Sam and Rinzler Deluxe disks, fishpond has one, but it's 'currently unavalable'.

It's a shame that this community is probably the only one on the net where an all-black suit or light cycle wouldn't really stand out! Keep me posted, thanks for the heads-up on Fishpond. It's sad, I work at Noel Leeming, we had the Legacy traileron high rotation late last year - I loop it on the TVs when I can! - but we never got the game in stock! I had to get it from EB!

Anyhoo it's great to be here, already learning names etc and looking forward to contributing :-)

Kia Ora, Program! There are indeed! We need to get together sometime!

I'm in New Plymouth :-)
