cehnot Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 They did custom make a new helmet, offer several parts in new colors and best of all, still designed a display base for it. Appears to show the wheels do spin. I didn't expect that. For 230 pieces I would expect most sets to be fairly priced at $25. Considering all the design, new elements, new colors, and pad printed pieces I am happy to pay the extra $10. This set may inspire me to add to the theme with a 15 in tall Recognizer (LDD design in progress). I may do a grid base display to fit this as well. The nice part about the custom face prints is that you can take pre existing printed pants and torso pieces to make their real life outfits. Kevin Flynn can be made using old Luke parts. Quote

Digger of Bricks Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Why haven't they made that double studded neck bracket part in any solid color yet? It's just weird in transparent. Quote

It's just weird in transparent. I guess they haven't had a need for it. Most of its uses have been to connect something to the back of a minifigure in situations where the connection wouldn't be seen, much like these identity discs. Quote
MAB Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 They've done a good job, the final set looks better than the original submission. I guess it would have been too small with just one light cycle. Quote
cehnot Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I am trying to figure out how they made the set 230 pieces. I looked the images and figured out the display base is 30 pieces each. The minfigs with accessories and hair are 22 bricks (if you do not count hands). That means the light cycles are 70 pieces each. I tried to duplicate the set in LDD and keep coming up with 144 pieces. Because the cycles have rotating wheels I used technic bricks and pins, with a 3 wide bar inside to hold the wheels together. Most of the set is visible so I am not sure how they got the light cycles from 81 pieces to 70. If I take the bar out, one side of the wheel falls off. My assumption is I am somehow using more parts that they are in the wheel design. I know it releases in a few days, I just thought it would be fun to figure out the build. You can see the LDD file I did on my account. Light Cycle LDD file Quote
JGW3000 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Cehnot - note that the wheels on the model are somewhat hollow, seems like you are using dishes on yours. Quote
ToaDraco Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I'm very happy with how this set turned out, way better than the initial submission. It's $10 higher than I expected but I wasn't expecting the display base based on the box images so I'm not mad about it. The display base looks really nice as does everything about this set. I very much look forward to getting my hands on it! Quote

Those parts are transparent dishes with printing on them. The hollow part is the fact you see through the dish. They are using round plates. If you watch the teaser trailer you can tell how they made the wheels. Quote
Lucarex Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Whilst the price is high re. PPR, it's such a clean looking set design that will probably be an impulse purchase for any AFOL/sci-fi fan. Congrats again to Devon-based BrickBros for their submission - should earn them a quid or two. Quote
Whovastron Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Love the base, and the way it can be changed to a square display for minifigures is great. i remember people saying that this set would be 1 cycle with 1 Minifigure and that would be it. But here we are with 2 cycles, 3 minifig s, lightstreams and a display base! Awesome stuff! day one buy for me! (If I had the money, a pay-day buy for sure) Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Someone in particular over on Instagram already has a copy of the set, with a good on-hands look at each of the figures, the Lightcycles, and the instructions. Quote

ToaDraco Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) BrickBros UK, the Youtubers who designed the set have already posted their review! The set looks amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq9ZYxJBMGA Edited March 22, 2018 by ToaDraco Quote
MAB Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 It's a good review, but a shame they didn't (or maybe couldn't) compare the actual product against their original submission. Quote
cehnot Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Doesn't the LEGO team work with the original designers to develops the final project? Based on the video review it sure sounded like they went back and forth quite a bit in order to nail the design. Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Brickset - Review: 21314 TRON: Legacy Quote
Jollygrnreefer Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Being a huge Tron fanatic, loving this set. However, my major gripe, is the incorrect character selection for this scene. In the movie, Sam is facing off with Cue, but Rizzler (aka Tron) is included. Now Rizzler is a way cooler character, just kinda bugs me in the end. The Quorra figure is the highlight of this set imho, and comes with an extra sword in the spair parts. Duel wielding swords are not movie accurate, but way too cool +1. Lastly, LEGO should have replicated the Wand which creates the cycles, but just my two cents. Quote
