How did you try on the headphones? At the floor at Con and at the End of Line club they were both behind glass (or plastic)

They were very comfortable. I like full headphones opposed to ear phones, so these were up my alley. They were also built very well, and seemed like they could take quite a beating. I would probably compare them to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones that Monster makes. Expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

Cool!
One last question...or maybe two haha
Was the plastic nice and shiny? and were there any hinges on them?
Thanks man

I got to check them out while I was at the End of Line club. There was a guy wearing a Monster branded shirt there, who had a set of headphones hooked up to an ipod. It was playing some techno music (not my taste in music, but appropriate considering the location), and they definitely sounded great. Even in the club, with all the other music and ambient noise, I could hear through them very well. He spat some audiophile jargon at me that flew completely over my head, but one thing he did mention is that the lights would pulse to the beat of whatever you had playing (i.e. video games, music, etc.). I don't know if I could part with the $300 bucks for them, but they do have some ear phones as well coming out around $79 he said. Of course that might change, but he said that Disney wanted a pair in the "under $100" range.

Thanks for the info
How comfortable were they, and how were they construction wise?

So much merchandise I want now!
The headphones, the lightcycle figure, art book, deluxe identity disk...
I better start saving ahaha

Wondering if anyone at Comic Con got to or even try the Tron headphones out? If you did, care to share any details?

First post!

Must get my hands on that "Good vs. Evil" die cast set from Toys 'R' US, the deluxe identity disk and the iphone/ipod touch case! The identity disk ipod dock would be nice...maybe I'll snag it off of ebay. People are bound to have like 15 of them and sell them all in one lot! (sarcastic nod to the ARG coin fiasco)

Originally that book was to include content for the original film. Hope that hasn't changed.

Not sure if exclusives are wanted here, but I have two items from SDCC 2010:

The vintage Figure (shown lit) and Sam's Lightcycle from my SDCC Tron Gallery - which has more shots and unboxed/unboxing shots:

sweet mother of Tron...... wonder what stores the comic books will be sold in? Only know of one conventional comic book shop in my area, wonder if Borders and the like will carry them?

[RustyMuffler]

That is pretty badass.

I was thinking of getting them, until I saw this video: The plastic looks terrible, not all nice and shiny like in the picture I posted before, and of course I don't know how the sound is like either (if anyone got to try them on I'd love to hear about it! ) And then to kick me in the guts even more, they're $350. Yikes! The Data Disk iPod Docking Station is ~$300, and also made by Monster Cable. It does look incredibly sweet, though. I'm really disappointed they went with Monster, their quality is so suspect for premium priced items. Especially the stuff they branched out into like headphones, ipod docks, etc. And don't get me started with the cables.

I don't think they "went" with Monster, per se. Monster probably just approached them with the design and asked if they could license the TRON name.

Perhaps we'll see lightcycles with gold-plated rims? The gold makes them faster, donchano?
