Sound activated LED

For those of you who have built the Master Grade Gundam Exia, I bet that it is a hassle to activate the LED in the chest right? I risk scratching the paint job and adding finger prints all over the kit. Well, Hobbymate  has just solved my problem with a sound activated LED.  Now all i need to do is snap my fingers and the light will come right on! How cool is that? 

Stocks will be in next month so keep your fingers crossed!!!
