I wish the lights on the wheels would have had some sort of moving effect. They added the moving engine but not the lights like in the movie. Has anyone tried to do that?

No, but if you feel confident enough to take yours apart and re-program the lights so they strobe in sequence, be sure and post pics!

Yeah right! I'm no electrician. It would look cool if the wheels looked as if they are moving. Oh well. I can dream can't I?

I cannot imagine an endeavour more fraught with peril as trying to take apart a HT Lightcycle...

I wouldn't even know where to start. It may open a can of worms.

I don't know about worms. But it would certainly open a can of "busted and useless lightcycle", lol.

Yup. Project abandoned. Lol

If only we had that little gizmo that Beck uses to fix lightcycles.

 

[jedijim3002]

I know right?

Started my Sam Flynn project. Chopped the head off the figure and added a HT neck and the head.

Still not quite satisfied with it yet. I may need to cut down the neck part of the head so he looks forward and down properly but I'm not too find of the idea of taking a knife to my newly purchased head. Still can't get the pose to look right with his arms straight up and holding the disc.

I started another Sam Flynn project as well since I'm not quite happy with the all plastic one. Here's a couple pics.

I figured the medicom black spidey has enough of a hexagon pattern on the suit to pass for dames body suit. The webbing should all be covered up by the armor parts.

I wonder if you could use the Dark Knight Rises Batsuit. You could heat the rubber pieces with a hair dryer and carefully peel them away from the suit. It has that hexagonal pattern bodysuit underneath that might work as well.

 

[Gipetto0812]

That could be a good alternative but wouldn't really be accurate. The TDKR figure is a mesh material where as the Tron suits have the pattern printed on the fabric similar to how the Superman Returns suit as the diamond pattern printed on it

 

[jedijim3002]

Good ideas all. I thought about those too. Keep them coming guys. We may be onto something.

 

[ChaserFan]

Don't suppose anyone here has some pics they could post of their light cycle in a detolf? Apparently it's a snug fit?

 

[Gipetto0812]

here you go:

 

[ChaserFan]

Thanks mate

Looks like it fits alright.

still looking for this figure for under $230... lol

 

[jedijim3002]

Good luck! I couldn't hold out anymore. Once I got my tax money back it was burning a whole in my pocket. Lol

I am not sure that will happen. Unless you get one that has problems with the lights.

I think BBTS had one for like $250 and that had a broken switch and the one they have right now has something wrong with the postiong of some LEDs or something and they're charging $275
