Protege94 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Does anyone know when this typically happens? Also do they usually sell out? This was my first year using LOR controllers and I want to pick up a few more during the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular controllers doesn't sell as fast as they used to. If you want any cosmic color devices you better be ready with in minutesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The spring sale is a mad grab sale and some items sell out in minutes. The summer sale has slightly higher prices than the spring sale, but unlimited quantities. in 2016, the spring sale started on Friday 8 April at 6:00 PM Pacific time. The date moves around some, but it's in that general timeframe. I was able to get both items I wanted in the spring sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but this past year there were PC controllers available the next day. They used to be gone in minutes years ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protege94 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Im not a big pixel fan so I will be going for the normal controllers. My display is more of a static display that I then sequence to music. Think blow molds, wire frames, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She begged for one and she never wants to spend money on the display so I made it for her and realized how much fun RGB's were.

George Simmons Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 If your fingers are slow and you miss out on what you want in the spring sale, there are deals galore to be found on experienced controllers. There's quite a few available right now and that will only increase between now and summer. Along with others, I'll also be parting with some old friends after winter thaws and I get my display torn down. Just so you know there are affordable options available.

Jaynee Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm hoping to buy at least one controller during the spring sale so that on the off-chance we decide to set up the display in 2016 I can at least do the three-color spiral tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Well with all the displays for sale around my area this past week I will be needing four to run everything I have bought this week. So many people selling off their displays, I mean it was literally a yard sale, everything set up in the yard was for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried my neighbors would complain about my display as this is my first year in our house and I we rather large. But in the end my mindset was to buy what I want, make it as bright as I want and if someone wants to complain and be a prick about a light display then let them cause Im enjoying my life.

That's not really the attitude to carry IMO, especially on this forum. Again IMO. Neighborhoods have had awesome displays shut down in the past. If you want to enjoy life "without" a light display, then carry on. But if you want to enjoy "with" a light display, then have a little respect for the neighbors. I don't make the rules, I just respect others and try to make it work for both parties. Edited January 21, 2017 by Santas Helper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to find that happy medium. As I posted before, get your neighbors and community involved. Show them a little kindness, growing up "kill them with kindness" was a saying. If you have a mean one next door, do something nice for the person, a simple gesture can go a long ways. I know all of my neighbors don't like me, how can they, they all do not know me, however even handicapped I still pick up trash thrown out in front of their yards when I see it. I know all of the local and county and several state LEO's, firemen ... I also am not afraid to stand my ground at a town hall meeting when needed. Just don't [Foul Language Used] them off to much because it can come back to bite you. The reply of mine you responded to was more of a statement of the times and I think you took it wrong, I was talking about no respect for others property or rights based on the upbringing of or someone going astray.

JR I am friendly with one of my neighbors and I let him know before Thanksgiving that the lights were going up and he had no issues with them and didnt care. My other neighbor is a rental house so people come and go. As far as my comment about live life the way you want and if people want to complain they can.......That was meant in a non-aggressive/douche bag way. I know I cant make EVERYONE happy and people down the street don't know me or have any encounters with me to know I simply love lights because they genuinely make me happy. But at the end of the day displays have been shut down because people dont like them and during my life I have come to the realization that if someone is going to complain at that type of level they are going to regardless. I did have someone from 2 blocks away tell me she loved the display and then I had another person tell me that her son ask to come see the display every night after dinner. That's why I do it, to give kids something to look at and be amazed with. I don't do it for personal pride, in fact thats one of the reasons I didnt use my last name as the display name.
