This looks totally amazing. Almost wants me to buy one for the sake of it.....


Bruno, I know you've got a TRON cab, don't know about your handle, but I hope you didn't miss this news !

Haha, yeah at that price it's very sensible to have one on stock. After I posted that I checked out the pictures I took when I was over with you, and your Tron thread and saw that your original still looks very nice indeed....anyway, a great product by Randy !

Picked one up too. My Tron's arriving next Saturday. Looking forward to that.

Don't think it needs a new handle but I'm hoarding it as a spare like many others are doing :)

Now, just have to wait for TR2N at the cinema and my fanboy wishes will be fulfilled.

in a way its not a reproduction, but a new run of the original handle , randy used the original molds to make these.

just keeping an eye on things

Thanks for the precision... so it's even better than a reproduction ... it's *almost* the original, but made in 2008  :-* :-* :-*

THAT Shirt is Great! I have to get one of those! But you're right most of the people in my age (around mid twenties...) don't even know tron.
But who cares, I love the movie, one of my all time favourites!  :D :D

(I remember, when I was a kid, living in Maryland USA, I had a Disney VHS (don't remember the movie) and there was a trailer of tron before the main film. I watched that trailer over and over...)
