The quality is great. I've bought these from Chris the past 3 years and have been VERY pleased.

I feel everyone's pain, it is a little depressing when we "FADE TO BLACK". But I agree with Bucsfan15 that 2-300 boxes of after Christmas lights helps!!!

They haven't got everything on the shelves yet, but they're working on it. Walmart has three box cars beside the garden center that they are unloading daily.

Lowes and walmart both have Christmas stuff going up!! Woo hoo!! Also noticed that lowes has reduced the lighted length of their minis. Sad, they were the last ones to do so.

It's a little late now,but during Chris' presale,the 1000' spt2 is $99 and some change.Keep it in mind for next year. wlcventures.com

The presale has begun on Chris' website. www.wlcventures.com

For those who might be interested,Chris from wlcventures.com has an interest thread at DIY for led strings 70ct.Professional quality with replaceable bulbs.Here's the link,he answers a lot of your questions in the first post. As a side note i have dealt with Chris the last 3 years and have been very pleased with his products and service. http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?24871-LED-String-Interest-(with-lower-amounts-for-order)

I stand corrected http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?24331-2013-Vampire-Plug-and-SPT2-Pre-Sale&highlight=vampire+plugs And the prices on the website are the new LOWER prices for this year!!!!!

I've bought from Chris for the past 2 years and have been very pleased with the product and the price.I'm not sure though that he has started the sign-up for the group buy. He normally puts a post on DIY christmas and also sends out an email to past customers.Neither of which i have seen. I will say that the prices on the spt2 and plugs on his website is a clearnce price and is lower than the price during the group buys.I guess he's selling remaining inventory before the next group buy. I picked up another roll of spt2 for $99.95,can't beat that price.He only has 3 left!!!

The only concern i would have is reflection from the white color. Is the product paintable???

What is thickness and color of material? Is it similar to the starboard material?

I've had a holdman star in my display for three years that i made out of 1/2" plywood. I've been very pleased with it but after 3 years the plywood has begun to delaminate(poor quality materials from overseas).And before we get in to a discussion on building materials,just a little FYI,i've had my own construction business for over 30 years.So, my questions are: 1.Has anyone used this http://store.3glightingcreations.com/large-holdman-star-green wireframe holdman star? 2. Did you use C9 lights on it? 3.If so,how did you mount them to the frame(with the plywood frame the bulbs are mounted with point facing forward)? I'm replacing the plywood frame i have now and am looking ahead to this year. I think the wireframe would be a more long term solution if the lights work well with the frame. Comments and pics if any.

I would be interested to know also if anyone has had the experience of lowes refunding the difference in price for items purchased on clearance. I bought over 200 red and green minis 3 days ago and would sure like the difference for more stuff!!!!!!

It would have to be soon,but most all the lowes i've checked are out of stock.
