Inspired by a fan-made idea, LEGO created a new Tron: Legacy kit that includes 230 Light Cycle fun-inducing pieces.
Available as of March 31, the kit will include two build-able Light Cycles, a Tron grid display vehicle base and three mini figures: Quorra, Sam Quinn and Rinzler. Following the color scheme from the movie, each piece is exciting and bold, almost identically resembling each car, accessory and character. Falling in line with the brand's classic toy-building method, each piece can be fully customized to create a new storyline with classic characters.
The new fan-made Tron: Legacy Kit with Light Cycle pieces will be available for $34.99 to celebrate the worldwide phenomenon that is the Tron word.
