Together In Electric Dreams

  Sorry it's been a wee bit quite round here of late. I’ve been busy building a community which meant somethings had to take a back seat. This newsletter being one of them.

As we were wandering the stands and admiring the cosplay, something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. These beauties! I had to have them. I’ve been a Tron fan since as early as I can remember. I would of been the ripe old age of 5 when this bad boy came out and my first interaction with it would have been on VHS. I think I may of worn the tape out! For those unfamiliar with the plot I’ll summarise.
