Those are pretty sweet, though I've never seen one in person, just on and around eBay.

I'd ask alot of questions about the color, though. Anything with the LT falcon is kick ass, but yellow? Hmmm...

the only thing that discourages me is that my buddy has one just like it for the browns... which is obviously orange just like bg... but the color actually looks pink :? sooo im not really sure

Looking at it again, though, its a "fluorescent" display, I wonder if there's just some colored plastic cover that could be replaced to get a better orange on there. It would be interesting to check the construction of the signs to see if there's room for experimentation.

I got one of those a few months ago.

Yes, the orange is a little bit off, but since it is being lit up you don't really notice it.

If I had a.) a camera that worked and more importantly b.) a computer that works I would put a photo up here.


Overall I was satisfied with the purchase. Let me know if you have any more questions or anything. . .

:lol: :ROFL: HA HA HA HA :ROFL: :lol:

I purchased mine last year for a penny!

Only two bad things -
1. they're small (I should have actally read the size on the ad)
2. the power cord is on the top left rear (how do you hide it - you can't)

Mine's hanging in my ofice next to my desk. I don't think the bulb is ever going to burn out. Mine has been on since God knows.

I'm not sure of the orange tint others are talking about. The glass is crystal clear. It's got a white flourescent bulb. I don't see how you get an orange tint.

My recommendation - GO FOR IT!

dayon - is the tint you have more yellow or more pink? in the picture on ebay it looks yellow... but the browns one i saw in real life looked pink. i wouldnt mind it if it were slightly yellow, i just dont want a pink falcon hanging up in my apartment.

I want one of those ones that don't have the background part. I think they make/sell them at Sign-It up on 25 just north of town. I'm thinking the ones that they have in the window at Skybar, and I think they have one in Downtown as well.

Those light-up ones at Sign-Me Up are awesome!! However, I believe they cost somewhere between $40-$70!

YEah mine appears to be a little yellow, but it looks pretty good.


As far as the neon signs like "Sign-Me-Up" has in their window- I think the 40-70 range seems a bit low.

I remember when there was a beer supply store in what is now Nate and Wally's- they had neon CHief Wahoo signs for $250.

I'd be interested to know what they will sell those falcon heads for. . .
