I went to ElecTRONica last night, got a couple tokens to take home. They are markedly smaller than the Flynn Lives ones, by about 1/8" of an inch diameter (they are barely bigger than a quarter, while the ARG ones are significantly larger). Definitely gold in color, though since they get cycled through the cabinets and token-dispensors, even first-day coins weren't super bright and shiny.
Did you maybe save some of those coins?
I brought home about a half dozen of them... they're openly available at the arcade, four for a dollar, so they're not valuable for much more than a trinket souvenir. I do have a low-level annual pass, so I fully intend on going back before the release of the movie, and can get more...

I someone finds themselves with an extra token or two in their pocket, I'll make it worth your while to PM me.

I picked up a few on opening night (friday). They are smaller than the SDCC ones. Here's a picture:

I didn't resize it, so it's a tad large.

in the spirit of being the token king from SDCC, I picked up about $20 worth of coins. Please email me, Steve_HuszarSPLAT KinderMorgan.com for coins. If I run out, I'll go get more.

All hail socalsteve!
Somehow he always comes through for us....
I could use three if some kind soul would be willing to send them my way. Definitely will to compensate the individual.

Btw, for those curious as to what the 9 minute clip from the movie that's being shown at ElecTRONica, it's the Comic-Con footage.

Nice spot! It's our first view of Tron! WTG, man! It'd be nice if the video was cleaner, then we could get a screen shot.

VanGoghX, when I ready your response I could hear Flynn saying "Way to go, man!" in my head lol. Wow, but seriously that's an excellent find! I thought it was Sam fighting Clu at first, but now I see it is Tron, cleaned up from being Rinzler, fighting Clu! This video just got me EXTREMELY hyped lol. I don't even think that last montage was included in the Comic-con footage.

Shhhhhh!!! You're not supposed to know about Flynn's other secret identity... Not just yet, anyways!

the blurry-ness and low-fi audio of that video does *not* do the footage justice.
It's *meant* to be seen in the theater, idealy in RealD 3-D (arguably better than Imax 3D IMO).

Wow, thanks for posting that video! I was able to see heaps of details I didn't on the (even more blurry) 7 min footage at SDCC online.
I think it's a nice touch, all the details, like when Sam gets his disk placed on his back and his eyes flicker a different colour. That was cool.
Not sure about his acting in the "being captured" bit, seems to improve slightly after, though.
And YES at the glimpse of Tron!!! Good spot, mach1monorail.
My excitement for this movie has been waning over the last week or so, but I think this just reinstated my interest

It feels wrong to watch this on a shoddy recorded video. I agree with ShadowDragon1, it definitely does not do it justice.
Nice spotting of Tron, mach1monorail. He looks like he's gonna be kicking a lot of booty in Legacy.

Gave the Tron segment another watch, trying to figure out what he's saying. It seemed like he said "Flynn, go!" but I could be wrong...
