If only more toymakers would take a page from LEGO’s book and let fans design potential new items. The LEGO Ideas site is responsible for some of the coolest sets in the past few years, and the new TRON: Legacy light cycles set is just one such example.
This set was originally approved for production in November, and now it is here. It looks LEGO’s designers refined and streamlined BrickBros UK’s original design for production, but these still look great. The set includes two light cycles, and minifigure versions of Sam Flynn, Quorra, and Rinzler, each with their own with identity discs. You can expect it to be available starting on March 31 for $35 from the LEGO website.
It’s a small set at just 230 pieces, but so very pretty to look at. Despite its small size, this set packs in a lot of nice detail and includes a display-friendly base. This is a great addition to any LEGO collection, but fans of the film are really drooling over it. It’s just too bad that we don’t have other LEGO Tron sets to go with this.

Fans of TRON will immediately recognize this as the identity disc from the original 1982 sci-fi flick. Programs (also known as actors in goofy costumes) would use their identity discs (also known as striped frisbees) to not only store their program data, but are used as weapons. It never made sense to me that you’d toss your identity around at your enemies like that, but I’m no Master Control Program, so what do I know?
If you want to make sure your program data is saved, and nobody derezzes you, then you should grab this TRON identity disc that I spotted over on Etsy.
Yes, it’s basically just a smooth white Frisbee with vinyl graphics on it, but Portland artist JamesBit hand-applies the concentric blue circles to ensure they fit perfectly and stick, something you probably don’t want to try for yourself, based on my personal experience with applying decals.
Sadly, it doesn’t light up like the ones in the movie, but it’s still pretty cool. If you want your own identity disc, you can grab one for $25(USD).

Get your Tron on the next time you’re at Shanghai Disneyland! Designed by Daniel Simon with guidance from GM China, GM North America, and Disney, the Qing Yi concept is on display (in true scale) and wowing riders as soon as they exit the Tron roller coaster.
The design is a distillation of the perfect essence of Tron and Chevy in one machine! It features two capsules for riders in a Lightcycle-inspired position and a liquid, high-frequency rendered body shell which smoothly adjusts to steering movements of the front wheels. This high speed cruiser blends styling queues from a real-world Chevrolet Corvette with elements of the iconic Tron Lightcycles.
