I buy all my prizes for my work (including lava lamps) from www.redemptionplus.com (http://www.redemptionplus.com)

I am fairly sure they accept orders from the general public.

Im thinking that an ARCADE LAVA LAMP is something different than a normal one.

Get a pacman, mario or space invaders stencil, and then pretty much anything you buy can be "retrograded"  :applaud:

It's not hard to find.
- Buy ANY lava LAMP
- SMOKE POT
- WAIT till you see that SPACE INVADER or PACMAN shaped bubble
- if FAIL, smoke more POT
- WAIT till you see that SPACE INVADER or PACMAN shaped bubble
- if FAIL, smoke more POT
- WAIT till you see that SPACE INVADER or PACMAN shaped bubble
- if FAIL, smoke more POT
- by now, ALL bubbles should look like a PACMAN or a SPACE INVADER  :laugh:

Just bought new bulbs for our 70s style lava lamp - perfect bedroom lighting, makes even me look pretty.

But can you imagine it if your put pacmans on it? The shadows would be on the walls n stuff, coming to eat the furniture etc. Use translucent coloured paper for even trippier effects.

Now imagine enjoying your favourite flowering herbs after putting pacmans and spacies on your lamp - that would be a crazy experience.
