Riley Reviews coming with another banger video. I appreciate these videos you provide to the collecting community. They are well thought out and you pay attention to all the little details normally people will overlook.
Thank you so much BDP. One of the best out there in the community thank you for the kind words and continuous support!
Grab a smart plug from TPlink to connect up a USB hub. TPlink smart plug can be set with a timer to auto-turn off after a set amount of time incase you forget to turn off!
That’s a really good shout! Thanks for the heads up, appreciate you watching 🤝
Very informative and helpful. Thank you Riley
Thank you Tom for watching and always supporting the channel 🤘
Great set up , I’ve bought 2 sabers from him , he does great work and very good prices!! CCFL sabers add so much to the figure .
I totally agree. I’m looking at purchasing 2 more, thanks for watching Pablo
These look amazing mate can't wait to see how the usb sabers look from hot toys themselves 😊
Same! Thanks for watching, appreciate you Phil 😁
Most definitely
I think they’re really useful and posers can have an amazing time photographing with these things!
Liked these and vid 👍
Thanks 😁
Cool setup, brother! Glad to see you still working and racking up on subs! Hope all is well! -PeytStrick
Is that the legend himself PeytStrick!! Good to see you dude! Hope you’re doing great, appreciate you my friend 🤘 one of my inspirations no doubt 🙌
@@Riley.Reviews that means a lot man! Just had to step back to do some new things!
@@prayNwhey hope to see you back
I want to see how to led are gonna look like for lightsabers we gotta wait for obi wan im hoping they look bright
Yea I’m super excited to see how they turn out! Thanks for watching
That's a cool pose you have for Anakin on the STAP. I have him with both feet planted on the STAP - I was too chicken to try anything else. 😁
After about six years, I'm kinda accustomed to the light sabers not being lit up. Not even sure I will use the new USB ones by Hot Toys.
Hey Daniel! Thanks for the kind words, yea it’s still a little scary seeing him hang on one leg lol. I totally get it, I wonder how the usb ones will turn out in the future! Appreciate you watching 🤘
Awesome!!! How long can it be lit on for??
I would recommend only an hour or less, they heat up quick so I normally just turn them on when people want to see them! Thanks for watching
Just fyi, it’s not an “actual LED” lighting the CCFL sabers. Different technologies.
CCFL = Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
LED = Light Emitting Diode
Nice! Thanks for the input. I didn’t catch that, appreciate you watching as well 🙌
Hey man, were the wires not long enough to dress behind the figures and go along the bottom of the shelf?
What’s up! The issue was that with that specific moducase with anakin inside. I had to flip the board to make it have the open slots on the top rather than the bottom. So it had to go out from the top. I may just punch a hole through the bottom, thanks for watching!
@@Riley.Reviews Does the sabers you got have the inverter box? if they do, just run the inverter inside the moducase and hide it inside. If the thin wires from the inverter to the CCFL is too long. the power loose is greater meaning a lower overall brightness in the tube.. However from the power supply and to the inverter you can make the wire longer without much or any issue at all. I have my inverters inside the detolf, and made the power delivery super clean in the back running down the detolf supports. Just need to make some kind og diarama or backdrop to hide the damn green boxes LOL
@@grosen84 never actually considered that. Great point, problem is it’s super hard to get behind my cases now lol. But I may try this down the line! Thank you
These look great! Unfortunately I passed on doing these to mine die the the heat/fire hazard and not being able to leave them on. Great video!
Graeme! Thanks for watching buddy, yeah I understand it is a little scary that they heat up a lot. Love the look though, thanks for watching!
They look good but I don’t like the heat and my OCD is drawn to the tip.
Good point you gotta be careful with them for sure. Thanks for watching!
In my opinion everyone should have these for there jedi/sith. It's like not having reactors for iron man figures, they look dead without it.
Totally agree. The color on the sabers are very light so it almost looks see through. Wish they had more pops of color, it clearly makes the display come to life! Thanks for watching 🤘
Good info but don’t like em. The wires and ends turn me off em. It’s the first thing I notice lol. I remember when they started getting popular. That said it’s impressive what some of these collectors can do.
Totally understandable. I can see why that would bother people, the issue I see is that there is no better outcome. That’s exactly why hot toys have moved to the same method: wiring usb light up. Batteries are just too much of a pain and don’t last long enough to be sustainable. Thanks for watching Joe!
@@Riley.Reviews looking forward to seeing how they handle the wiring and the quality of the lightsaber. A remote would be nice too.
@@JodaMoore same, really curious if the light will actually be brighter
They are really cheap to make you self. i got 8 CCFL's for $40 with 4 inverters. So basicly just needed a 12v power supply and a spare hilt. I took the once from the lightup arms, and removed the old LED and thats about it. They look really good for sure. but they get hot especially in the end due to that thin wire. a thicker wire and they would run alot cooler. but that dont look as good. If you know how to do basic soldering and are willing to use the light up hilt. you can DIY even cheaper
I’ve actually heard of this. Problem for me is I’m not very handy and wouldn’t want to break anything lol. But totally you can create these for very cheap. Thanks for the advice and thoughts as always Martin 🤘
@@Riley.Reviews If you need more saber, just give it a go. worst case you break a CCFL. That will put you back $5. I didn't break any yet. Even the supplys you need are cheap. not much that can go wrong honestly. Metamorphic Customs made a tut about how to do it. its super easy as long as you dont go for the Kylo Ren sabers. You need some skills for that one ^_^ lots of wires and not much space :P Keep the content comming :P
Those are pretty poorly done CCFLs. There are better out there.
Interesting, it may have to do with me having these for a long time but I’m still cool with them. I’ve seen better for sure! Thanks for watching
