Just an FYI - Had stopped at my local Lowes, and in the Christmas section, they have 10-bulb flicker light sets for $9.97 each (and also 2-bulb replacement packs for $0.97).
Been looking for these online (since Collections Etc sold out of them at $6.99 recently), but online plus shipping is way too expensive. So I picked up 2 sets.

Saruman you rock. I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on 5 sets of these at 20 per set. I think u live by me. What lowes did you go to?
I also use the flicker bulbs (candleabra) in my windows. Does anyone else? If I could just find a cheap alternative for relacement bulbs. They sell for $2.50 dollars a piece!

Question, I know Terra likes to guarilla glue sets of three Michales pumpkins together for her set. I am afraid to do this as I might want to change it next year. Would hot glue work as a temporary alternative? Has anyone seen the effects of hot glue to these pumpkins if peeled away after use? I figured I'd ask here before I experiment with low temp hot glue and three pumpkins this week. I have 12 pumpkins (4 sets of three), painted the insides black, and carved each using a template and dremel. I enjoyed it! I plan to carve a few new ones each year. I sure wish I could find better templates though. Most of what I have seen for free is weak.

I didn't get any marring from when the hot glue seperated so you should be good
