Hasbro has also been doing red ones for a bit now too bud.

Try a police/safety equipment store as well. They tend to have all kinds of things like that.

Home Depot

Grab one of those road reflectors they put on Mail Boxes and at the end of Drive Ways.

well here is mine, at least the begining of it, the paint job didnt go so well but aw well. i also found these very cool and small spst momentary switches.

The paint doesn't look too bad. I like the silver stripes.. I wanted to do that, but kept forgetting, and now I'm putting it off pending the construction of new, more powerful death sta---I mean, holoprojector.
I like the switch. Radio Shack had something similiar, but they seemed too large still, so I didn't look at them, and instead got something 4 times the size, because it had the shape I wanted.
I'll be looking harder for a better switch here soon, for version 2.

well this sucks! i cut off the little thing right behind the place where you put the switch and the thing wont close now, oh well time to get another one.

Yep. The hidden one is what closes it, the visible tab is for cutting the gum, I think. The switch I used is really large, so I was going to mount it to the second one anyway.

Besides, they're only 88 cents at walmart.
