Any interest? I got bored at home and made one within a few hours to go along with my dollar store Trap, [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) and [Slime Blower](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/slime-blower). ---

Not really my cup of tea, but I would definitely like to see some pics. Your gear is really creative! ---

definetly interested! I have yet to work on any kind of PKE. I did buy a lint brush at the dollar store I think with plans of doing something with it. It’s likely I’ll be trying to go some cheap route with the PKE. Let’s see what ya can do! 😃 ---

> [@slimershomie](#): > > lets see it dude you are the master of bargin building i bet you could build a house from stuff form the d/s lol you need to do some of the cartoon stuff its easy and pretty cheap Here is a a combo of Cartoon and my own “real world” design. I can post more pics if needed / wanted as well! I have to admit the blinky lights are not from the dollar store, but were on sale for $4 at Fred Meyers / Kroger. Total cost is $9 for the project I believe, probably $17 if you need to buy the paints. OH! And you need Googley eyes as well, to paint them and make them looks like bolts / rivets (visible in the 2nd to the last picture). ---

I hate you so much. How the ■■■■ do you see these things when you’re walking through a dollar store? It’s like you walk in, see random shit, and say ‘hey I can make a picture perfect [prop replica](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/mattel-prop-replicas) out of this’ and what do you do? You ■■■■■■■ do it! When I go into a dollar store I see a bunch of cheap shit. You do something that surpasses human thought and manage to turn it into something cool. I hate you. ---

Looks good. You’ve got to have a creative mind in order to see things and make things out of them. I geuss it’s more creative than printing stuff out and slapping it together ha ha. ---

Thanks much! A good part of it is taking the time to learn how to do a good paint job. It’s the little details like scrapes and markings that make something look good, as long as you dont over-do it. ---

that’s awesome! I had a similar idea the other day, but for the electronics, I was thinking of cracking open one of those toys with a clear plastic globe at the end of a wand and when you push the button, the shape inside spins really fast and the leds blink - not sure what its called but my nephew has one from when he was younger, I dont think he’ll miss it LOL… ---

Those toys around here only sell for $2 - $3 for the smaller ones and $5 - $6 for the huge. Halloween is coming! ---

> [@gbrob](#): > > I need to find me some dollar store toys w/ lights… never seem to come across them though. > > Kickarse PKE man… serious. I’ve seen very few dollar store toys with built-in lights. Most of the lights you find at dollar stores (at least around here) are the little christmas-tree-type lights. But recently they have been getting tap-lights in, and also the small LED push lights. What kind of lights are you looking for? -Brady ---

Just some cheap temp lights for the gun and pack. I was thinking of making some packs for my kids and would like to put cheap lights in them… I’ll have to check out those tap lights. ---

If the dollar store doesnt have anything you like, go to Walgreens. They should have lots of lights in the form of wands that blink different colors and small LED type spotlights, all in the $2 - $5 range. -Brady [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/my-dollar-store-pke-meter/17739.md?page=2)
