20170726_112623.jpg Nevermind I found it still with its price tag I know she got I much cheaper without transformer and as display model retail price was $49 but looking at him wouldn't take much to make them seems they just lots of metal wire wrapped with tape similar to synthetic xmas tree !

Yep thats the sort of thing I am looking for.
Might ring Target!
Thanks for your help.
I am the same. When I see something I think "hmmm could I put pixels on that"
cheers

I can confirm that Kmart will only be ranging the coloured LED tree. It's 1.2M tall and has white twigs and will be $22 everyday until it's on clearance on Boxing Day :)

Bunnings also had them but they were bigger say 1.8?? and about $120 ?? I looked t them but the amount of work needed to retrofit was more than making them from scratch lol

I got mine from Bunnings last year, but they are a fixed colour. We chose Blue,
I held off for the cheaper price just before Christmas, but they were popular and there wasn't any left for the after Christmas bargains.
They look similar to the K-Mart ones. I think the Target one looks better, but it's not as tall as the Bunnings one we purchased.

Apparently target had 2 different sizes the 180cm as we have and a smaller one possibly 120 cm

Lights at Bunnings already ?
Not at my store.
Called into Costco yesterday. Chrissy stuff making its way on the display shelves.

Yuup this was last weekend and they seemed to have all stock out on the floor ! Munno para west store in adelaide . My personal feelings is bunnings is the best for value and quality with their Christmas lights . I used too prefer big w and kmart but they have become real average here over last few years not that we buy much static stuff now but Still always looking !

Walked into Bunnings Maroochydore today and low and behold Chrissy lights.
I was totally disappointed with the range.
Twig trees - same as last year.
Wanted some small count "bud" solar lights - nup only 400, 800 and 2000
The only small count had stars attached to them.
Same old static Deer with lights some solar candy canes and two wire rope lights.
90% of what was on display was "Bright White"
hardly any colour. :-(
