Dollar Store Iron Man Arc Reactor Contest

[helix_3]

I would like to compete too!

 

[Braincell]

Wish I had been here early to get in on this.

As far as I understand it, the contest is open to all comers until it closes on July 25th and the voting starts. I don't see anything in the rules that says anything about deadline for joining, only a deadline for submitting.

I went to my dollar tree, the only dollar store within 10 miles of my house, it's like walmart the dollar edition, but the only electronics they had were star and circle shaped, yellow, and the size of a basket ball in circumference. T.T now I have to get to the Federal Hwy to find a dollar store. X3

Jackpot! After a couple trips to the local Dollar General and Dollar Tree, I decided to take a drive to the other side of the tracks. I found the four items that I had been looking for at $1 each and a monster ice cream sandwich. $5.41 including the ice cream.

I would like to take this moment to thank you guys for fueling my imagination and creativity. The following photos are of a arc reactor that will "NOT" be in the contest. I just wanted to show what I was able to do with several mini glue sticks, a few led lights, parts from an old VCR, a mini clip light and a blue plastic holder from the left over crap from my entry. I must admit that this one looks way better than my entry, however it does not meet the requirements of the contest. It seems that after my first entry I got to fooling around with some spare junk and this is what I came up with...... Enjoy.

Do we have an update list of the "prizes"? I know I donated a full set of my Iron Man paper props.

Anyone else donate anything?

I can't wait to submit my RT and see everyone else's build aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

I've sent him a few PMs over the last couple weeks with a prize but never got any response. It's not Iron Man but it's two of my Raiders Bible Pages:

Ended up building a "junk" steam punk version that would not qualify.

More details in my Junk steampunk topic.

Enjoy and good luck everyone with the competition.

Getting bummed out here! I've been to a few different stores and can't find ANYTHING that would even come close to an arc reactor!

Just want to say I like this design. Good job recreating the light-pattern without the use of a ring element. Nice twist on the concept.

 

[KalashnikovKid]

Thanks, saw the bits at work in my junk pile and just had to build it. The one i tried to do within the rules failed pretty bad. There was a sever shortage decent pound shops locally

Good luck with the builds

I have a dismantled stepper motor from a dot matrix printer sitting in my drawer. I was planning on using it to build a cnc machine, but it looks perfect for this. Would it count, or do I have to stick with the dollar store purchased guidelines?

 

[Knightjar]

Seems to me that found items should not be allowed to be used. I'm sure everyone here has all sorts of bits in their parts box that they'd love to use. The challenge here is to source the materials only at the dollar store or equivalent.
