Rob, my favourite line on your page: "Modding LEGO's rendition of my LifeLites minifigs" LMAO!! Stick it to 'em :] That "trash-can-lid" minifig head on the TLC version is bizarre. I can't believe they didn't make the batteries replaceable. Well, actually, I can. But it seems especially silly for "Try Me" packaging... I recally one of your LifeLites' versions having the saber removeable from the hand, where the in/out of hand made it light up. To me that was the neatest implementation and, in movie terms, the most realistic. At the end of the day, does using the TLC version as a starting point gain you anything, meaning, are there any useful parts or construction in them that makes it easier to produce a LifeLites-like fig than starting from scratch with a stock fig?

Finally! I got my hands on one of the new LEGO produced lightup figs. You know what comes next - MUTILATION!!! First, some observations of the LEGO version: The packaging states the batteries are not replaceable. With a little work, you can pry off (...)
