I like the idea, but I'm not real sure about the price and the shipping cost. It says you get a breadboard every month and I assume this is a decent part of the weight. I already have a couple breadboards and how many breadboards does one really need? Maybe just have a breadboard as an add-on or a separate item? I'd be fine never getting a breadboard in any of the kits.

Disney most likely took the name from the TRON command which is/was a debugging feature in BASIC [0]. The site itself also (whether conciously or not) make no mention of the movie. "Tron" could also be an shortening of "Electron" but without the hassle of an apostrophy, e.g. 'tron-club. I could be talking bollocks though :) [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_command
None of that matters if Disney's lawyers get bored :).
Cool concept! A couple things: 1) Using 'Tron' could be a bit problematic if Disney's lawyers get bored. 2) You might want to drop the annual price a bit, and maybe work on your shipping costs.

I was going to sign up, but no way to pay without paypal or bitcoin. Don't have the latter, won't deal with the former. Too bad the only way to contact them is 'on their social networks'. Seriously?
I signed up. The link to terms on the subscription confirmation page is broken. There's an extra slash at the end.
I really really really hate the separate shipping cost. We can't get it without shipping. Don't quote prices that are impossible to achieve. The pricing, BTW, is $20 a month or $18.33 a month if you pay a year in advance.
> We can't get it without shipping. Don't quote prices that are impossible to achieve. This, exactly. When I first glanced and thought "Oh, $150 a year? That's not too bad." Then I looked closer and saw the shipping cost was extra. It's not that the extra shipping cost was necessarily prohibitive, it's just that there's some sort of psychological effect (sticker shock, I guess?) where you think you know what the pric…

Only ships to United States. So disappointing steroids :)
We ship worldwide :)
At the moment I'm in the "bookmarked will be a late adopter if it takes of" camp.
So good luck, hope that I'll be able to throw money at you at a later point! :)
This is a very cool idea. We have a project along a similar vein at HackerBoxes. Tron looks like great basic circuit education/exposure, while we're doing things more on a project level. These could even be complimentary, so some may want to subscribe to both. Either way, please keep in touch with us over here at HackerBoxes. In order to gauge what users find more or less interesting, we definitely want to hear feedb…

This assumes that the shipping rates will be the same anywhere that they serve. That's usually an incorrect assumption. This format allows for variations in the shipping while keeping the same unit price. Edit: Although, I am confused that they send me through the Paypal service before collecting my shipping address. Are they actually quoting me a price based on IP geolocation? That's kind of a dumb assumption; I sen…
I'm not sure if they're altering the page based on geo-ip or not, but what I'm seeing on their page is "$14/mo (plus low 5.99 shipping) and $150/yr (plus 69.99 shipping)."
Why not just say $20/mo or $220/yr (additional shipping fees may be required for non North American customers)? It seems like that would be less likely to cause the sort of complaint had by gergles.
