Yeah, the opening is so you can get to the button I suppose, although you can activate the button by tugging on the lightsticks a little (that's how you turn on the lower one). Batteries were dead... I'll get new ones and post pics of it functioning soon. :cool
I loved how they used gloves to handle the props... When I asked to see the key, the guy took it out and handed it to me. So much for no fingerprints...
You won it? Awsome! Some guys did not use gloves, but I did the entire time. Definatly after somthing had been sold. Since you own it, if you would like the pics taken down I would understand.
