Lights bring BD to life
This is my first Game of Bricks Light kit and overall, I am very pleased with the quality and appearance of the product.

In reality, the solder joint has a clear protective bump that made it nearly impossible to replace the LEGO plates for a clean fit. I had to play around with placement of the strip to get it to fit. Even then, the plate over the strip is just about ready to pop and I may need to secure it later with a couple drops of Kragl. But, as of now it is holding in place.
