I didn't see any red lights. Some of the cases are red but not the light itself.

I can only speak for this one type, sorry.

I thought it was... Just kidding.

You're welcome. :D

I see more than that. Then each of them split into other sections.

Click “Creation Discussion” then click “Weapons and Props”... will this get you where you wanted to go?

These come with a momentary switch. This means that you have to hold the switch down for them to light. The following is a little bit of work but for .99¢ including 2 sets of batteries I felt.... why not. Step one: remove the batteries and the insulator that is inside the flashlight. The...

You can register with your local Garrison of the 501st without having your costume. You don't have to spend a dime to register and read up on what the local 501st is about. There is a bunch of free information about costumes that don't cost $600.00 if you have some sewing skills or...

Strapping was .88¢ a yard at Wal-Mart, rivets are $6.00 a box of 50. I forgot about the rivet washers, these help spread the load, they're like $2.00 for a box of 30. Use the aluminum rivets, they should last forever.

Wal-Mart has the strapping in the crafts section, they also have the black clips to make it easier to put on/off. Pop riviets... Home Depot or Lowes. You'll need an 1/8th inch drill bit and drill too. I put 3 straps on the thigh/knee connection so they didn't twist. 1 in the front and 1 on each...
