LEGO 21314 Tron: Legacy comes to LEGO Ideas on 31 March!

March 24, 2018 By Jay Ong 28 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO revealed official images of the 21st LEGO Ideas set to hit toy store shelves – 21314 Tron: Legacy! If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know that I’m a pretty big movie buff – Tron: Legacy for all its flaws and imperfections ranks highly as one of my favourite movies of all time.

I have such a soft spot for it and will put in on TV every now and then just to immerse myself in the visuals and the soundtrack. Oh the soundtrack by Daft Punk is hands down one of my favourite albums of all time – I put it on every time I need to focus and get motivated. Seriously, I challenge you to listen to The Game Has Changed (the track that plays during the light cycle scene) and not get unbelievably hyped up.

Such a good movie and it deserves more love than it currently gets.

21314 Tron: Legacy is a small LEGO Ideas set (only 230 pieces), that will be released on the 31st of March on LEGO.com. See below for regional pricing.

  • 21314 LEGO Ideas Tron: Legacy – US$34.99 [US]
  • 21314 LEGO Ideas Tron: Legacy – AU$49.99 [AUS]
  • 21314 LEGO Ideas Tron: Legacy – £29.99 [UK]

Like the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and Back to the Future DeLorean before it, this set is designed to appeal to fans of movies and pop culture, in this case fans of Tron. The set is based off the designs submitted by BrickBros to the LEGO Ideas platform.

The highlight of the LEGO Tron Legacy sets are undoubtedly the Light Cycles, one for Flynn and one for Rinzler in their signature neon blue and orange colourways.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the technology to light up individual elements to properly simulate the Tron look, so we’ll have to make do with a mix of translucent pieces and printed elements for the effect.

From the official photos, the light cycles look really good. Simple, but the designs effectively convey the look from the movie. I do like the printed dishes for the wheels and the inclusion of the transparent light streaks that trail behind the light cycles.

The Light Cycles are small, with each one measuring over 5cm (1″) high, 17cm (6″) long and 4cm (1″) wide.

The set also comes with a grid display base, where you can affix the Light Cycles to, for added display potential.

The set comes with 3 minifigures, Quorra, Rinzler and Sam Flynn, all of whom are attired in the signature Tron catsuits with illuminated streaks.

Printed elements abound such as the identity discs that are used as weapons in the Arena. Rinzler as you can see has a relatively new neck bracket with a Technic pin in it.

The minifigures are really fun, and I for one can’t wait to get a Quorra minifigure as she was my favourite character in the movie. I also believe this is Olivia Wilde’s first LEGO minifigure, which is really cool.

As a huge Tron: Legacy fan, this set is a no-brainer for me, however the price point is perhaps one of the set’s weakest draws. At AU$50/US$34.99, it’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, as you’re really not getting a substantial amount of LEGO but this shouldn’t come as a surprise for licensed LEGO Ideas sets.

Fans of Tron are going to love it, but I suspect that this set isn’t going to have much mainstream appeal, especially since Tron Legacy is almost 8 years old now, and when it came out, it didn’t exactly set the world on fire.

Maybe if they had included Jeff Bridges’ character (Clu or even the old version) that might make the pricetag a little more palatable.

That said, I’ll definitely pick this set up and am mildly excited for it.

LEGO Ideas 21314 Tron: Legacy will be released on LEGO.com and at your local LEGO Brand Retail stores on 31 March 2018.

What are your thoughts on the Tron: Legacy set? Are you picking this set up or passing? Let me know by taking the poll or leaving a comment!

    I’d love for them to make some Daft Punk minifigs to go with this set ?

    This set looks awesome. I loved Brick Bros TRON bike. I feel like lego should have kept it a little bit closer to the original idea. The wheels look huge. That may be in the movie? Never watched so it may be more accurate. The price is a little too high for me so I won’t be picking it up. There was one thing that bothered me from your review. I know I am a stickler but the technic neck bracelet came out in the Ninjago Nindroid wave.

      I think it looks pretty accurate to the movie, but because they’re minifig-scale they may appear a little small.

      Ah I didn’t know the neck bracket was out for so long. I hardly ever come by it in my collection, but then again, it’s possibly cause I don’t have a lot of Ninjago sets.

        I actually remember getting it in one of the wave one Agents sets back in 2008, though that was in light grey, so perhaps the black version is more recent.

    I listened to “The Game Has Changed”, and (sadly) only got half hyped up. I haven’t actually seen Tron: Legacy, and don’t think that I ever will watch it, but I will still definitely get the set.

    This is making me nostalgic for the Lego Tron (As in the ’84 Tron) I made when I was a kid.

    I loved this movie, I should watch it more and the soundtrack is amazing. I will definitely be buying this straight away.

    Only downside. Missing Daft Punk minifigures and a DJ deck 😀

    Will have to purchase some custom figs to make up for it.

    Finally! Another TRON fan! Too many people say that TRON: Legacy was a bad movie. I loved it and am super happy that Lego actually made this set!

      There are nowhere near enough of us Tron fans. Where are we all? There’s obviously enough to keep a steady supply of fans.

    I will be picking it up. The price is on the high side but not unexpected. I love the minifigs, especially Quorra and her arm printing. And I agree with you 100% on the soundtrack!

      Me too! I’m not happy with the price, but at $50, it isn’t too punishing for an adult with disposable income. I wish they’d incorporate glow in the dark printing on the torso, that would’ve lifted it up a notch, heh.

    Ayy first person to do the poll! I like the colours and design of this set but it’s a pass as I haven’t seen the movie so it has zero relevance to me. Can’t wait to read some reviews of it though!

      Nice! Yeah, this set unlike Old Fishing Store or Ship in a Bottle has a very narrow target audience.

Here's an official look at the newly announced 762 Here's an official look at the newly announced 76262 Captain America's Shield, coming 1 September 2023! 

It joins the other collection of large Marvel things like Mjolnir, Black Panther Bust, Nano/Infinity Gauntlet and Iron Man helmet.

Unfortunately, the lack of utility with this means that it's mostly a display piece, albeit a very large one.

Looking at the back of the shield, and having gotten an opportunity to see this set a few months ago, it's really not recommended to carry it.

And it also looks like you can't hang it up, so it's meant to just sit in it's stand.

But... It's big, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.
