Thread: Where can you get these?

Tweet

Where can you buys these from currently for a reasonable price? I have found nothing like this locally, Phoenix AZ, and only one place online for $50.

Ok cant post image. Its a black box with a green or orange bolt on it. Sorry.

We want to add lightning and thunder this year and this is the last peace.
I have an MP3 player with a download from this site of thunder.
I have a 30 watt guitar amp for the sound.
I have a shop light that I plan on using for the light sorce.
Plan is to put the light on the roof to bounce it off the front of the house.
First post, watched this site laster year. We really enjoy having the most exciting house on the street for the kids.
Thank you for the help

The ones made for Christmas are the same thing just cheaper

I know exactly what you are talking about....i have one and i bought mine at Target. It was about 5 years ago though and they were $19.99. It works great! I need another one for our backyard though, so i too am looking. I don't think they will be at Target though for another couple of weeks. get the back to school stuff out of the seasonal area!!

I think it isn't IN stores as much anymore - you have to either luck out on them or order online... check the link in Lurkerz's post: Lightning FX boxes (Halloween and X-mas versions available).

Great little lightning and "dancing" light effect.

Man this board is busy. Couldn't get my post to process for like 5 minutes! Thankfully I copied it before posting just in case...


Sounds like you are looking for a Lightning F/X Box. Here's a pic from BuyCostumes but they don't seem to carry it this year. Even Amazon says it's currently unavailable.

I bought two last year from ABC Distributing/LTD Commodities--mine were actually sold as an Xmas Lighting Box. Under $10 and instead of a lightning bolt it had a Xmas tree and was in green, white and red I think. Same box and worked the same way and easy to live with or paint the box for that price. If for some reason you can't find the Halloween version, look for a Xmas one. The box format was the same too. Here's a site that has the Xmas one -- don't know anything about this place BTW.

I'd jump on the one from Thing You Never Knew Existed or see if you can find a Christmas Tree shop that might carry one. But TYNKE has a good price and these things are getting harder to find. Ebay has some listed but everyone is looking for them for halloween now and the bids are getting up there.

Thank you. I will jump on the xmas version since, I figure it works the same way. Do these have a plug in them for the MP3 player or CD player to plug into or do they have a built in mic?

The Halloween version has both. If you use an MP3 player you would need a cable that has the MP3 mini plug on one end and an RCA type plug on the other end.

Thank you. I looked at the one on the link for Things you never knew existed and it actually shows the back. I will go to radio shack and get one.
I just ordered one and two other things, like a 12ft reeper that I just could not live without. LOL

Ok, came into this thread just to see what cspcrx was on about and if I could help, ended up buying the dang thing because I had wanted one and the price was right (although it has a Christmas Tree on it, ugh). That's it, I'm officially swearing off unusual threads (for the day only)!
