Red & Green LED Lights - Cheap!

Also at Dollar Tree they have a flashing red LED railroad crossing sign overn in their Christmas minatures. I used them to illuminate the eye on my 15'' Arnold Terminator 2 model! Won a gold medal. I see I am not the only one who scavenges Dollar Tree for electronics!LOL
My best kept secret is out!lol

MartianGundamModeler, It doesn't matter where I go, everything is potential model building supplies! Ah to see the world through the eyes of a modelaholic!

You are correct I see everything in terms of it's components and what I can canabalize! I like to refer to myself as a Borg when it come to modeling. All things have potential to be ASSIMILATED!LOL
[Esp. cheap things like at the Dollar Tree!]LOL

ROTFLMAO

New store just opened up at the mall today called Dollar Mania. Same stuff as Dollar Tree but guess what i found. They have a cheap fiber optic lamp called "The UFO Lamp". It is cheap looking but it runs on two AA batteries, contains some colored christmas type bulbs, tons of fiber optic filaments, and a circuit to make the lights flash. The result being multicolor micro blinkies! I plan to use it to illuminate the dash on my KARR model I'm working on. I still have the mini drill that came with my fibre optic DS9 station for drilling fibre optic holes.
They also had a small child's necklace shaped like a big spiked star-like crystal made out of a tranparent rubber-like material which contained a small ball containing multi-color LEDs and runs on button cells. Dern thing is bright flashes like crazy can't wait to find something to stick it in. It will work great with the fibre optics!

MartianGundamModeler, you said in your last post about your fibre optic DS9 station model. Where did you find that? I saw an article in an FSM or one of the other many publications I buy about a website that sells all sorts of Sci-Fi kits and many of the Star Trek models had the light-up kits included with them. I've been going through all of my mags, but I can't find that article again. Maybe you know of the site I'm trying to find. Either way, maybe you can tell me where you got yours and that would help me as well.
Thanks for any help.

where is dollar tree? what city state..?

Sorry i can't help with the site. I either got my fibre optic DS9 at Kay Be Toy Liqudators or a discount store called Big Lots for about $10 about 2 or 3 years ago.
I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee [USA]. But I have found these Dollar Tree stores and similar stores all over the east coast . I know for a fact they are in Tennessee and Georgia but there are stores that sell similar mechandise eveywhere but under different names. Some of the stores names are as follows:
1] Everything's A Dollar [large chain]
2] Abraca Dollar [as in "Abra Cadabra"]
3] Dollar Tree [large chain]
4] There are other independent stores with various names which are own locally. they seem to get most of ther merch from the same place.

Tis the season again! Hit those holiday decoration isles at the store and score some lighting supplies!
