You can buy a (sick) Tron Lightcycle

After almost 30 years, Disney is releasing a followup to its groundbreaking film Tron and to help promote it they are building non-functioning, prop Lightcycles.Well this guy is on EBAY is selling  functioning Lightcycles and from the looks of it they’re worth every penny.

Can you imagine burning down the road on one of these at night? Of course you’d have to have a recording of the really errie, futuristic sound they make in the films, but I really can’t see how you’d not look cool on one of these bikes. I mean, they are only making 5 and even Harley riders would have to give it up for a Lightcycle.

From the Builders of the now famous “Batpod” replica recently listed here on ebay comes the next exciting movie bike from the big screen. The new Tron Legacy movie will hit theaters in December of this year and the lightcycle sequence will be the hit of the movie. To celebrate this historic event, the Parker Brothers team is building 5 custom one off “Lightcycles” to the exact specs of the movie bikes. Each bike will be black with an accent color – 5 bikes with 5 different accent colors (red, blue, yellow, green, and orange). There will only be one bike made per color so if you must have a certain color, you better call now. This is a first come first serve project so don’t delay. Disney designers built a “movie prop” of this bike for the TRON Legacy  promotions and not a running version so these will be the only known running versions to exist. The engineering behind a fully functional version is mindboggling to say the least.

Uh, yeah, “mindboggling” is a pretty good word to describe these things. Bidding starts at $35,000 (I imagine they’ll sell for far more) for these babies, so tell your mom and dad that you sold your kidney on the black market for a good cause this summer. “It’s a collectors item and an investment…in how awesome I look on the back — HAVE YOU SEEN THIS THING!”

Kidneys aren’t important, right? I can get by with none? Screw it, I’ll chance it.
