well i know i wish i had enough for all the master replicas, or the life size statues from that company there...yeah...
Alot of the 4 inch figurine ships. ;)
all the master replica Light Sabers... if I ever become a Millionare, I'm gonna buy them all.
Does anyone here have any of the Master Replica sabers? Are they worth the money based on quality and authenticty? I've only seen the tiny images on their website. I guess what I'm asking is are they junk that only look good from across the room, or do they feel like the real thing in your hand?
i would like all the master replicas, and the tyderium (sp) shuttle for 3 3/4 scale.:)
i have a master replica...well worth the money! trust me its worth it all, i have anakins.i will buy vaders.
i too wish i had tyderium i will get it, when ? i have no clue
is it the fx one? cause i was thinkin about gettin the vader one when it came out.
i hope they make a mace windu one, fx, and hilt version! i really like that saber, and i'd probably get both.:)
I tell ya the saber hilts without the FX are SOoooo worth it... Esp in the display case with good lighting.
When i removed it from the box I was compelled just to swing it around whilst wooshing noises coinsided with my irrational behaviour.
I even slept with it
Heh heh, yah, I'm convinced now. Just a few small purchaces to make then I can save up the jink and start collecting those.
Which one you thinkin of saving for... I ve got the Vader (ANH)
I've got my eye on Maul's saber. Its a little more than the others, but I like it. He's a great fighter, and has a good background story in the Dark Horse Comics. Then, I'll probably get Vader's or Obi-Wan's.
yes, mine is f/x, but its worth it still. as for the vader f/x its not out yet, and mauls saber isnt really much more than the rest of the "just hilt" versions, they are all around 400$.
So, what's the story with the FX sabers? What is the blade? A big neon light? Do they have any sound effects? I wish I still had the old 1980's plastic sabers that had the slots cut in them so they hummed when you swung them.
and how durable are they?:D
Lego Super Star Destroyer *nods* :p
I would be able to get it if it wasn't for that darn exchange rate.
the blade is durable, and its m,akes just about every sound.
I really want Queen Amidala's ship ><
well, z, i think that it is cheap now(kinda) but u dont really have room for it, i barely did.
the master replicas mace windu saber looks awesome. there's an add for it in the new SW insider magazine.:) gotta start saving up the pennies.

I know where to put it, I just don't have the money. ><
well save up i guess, (or grandma for b day) but where would you put it?
and mace msater replica, ive already started my saving!
I know I saw the Mace Lightsaber on Master Replicas! I gotta have it... Im saving from now!
oh i know isnt it soo cool.(comes with a stand!)
Does it have BMF on it like the real one?
I have both
Vader's from Episode IV
and
Luke's from Episode V
from Master Replicas
I wish I could get them all, but the budget doesnt allow that :(
So I bought these, my personal favorites! I got low numbers too
The Vader one is #34/7500
and the Luke one is #132/2500
They are so sweet to have and look great on my shelf. I highly recommend them for their speedy service as well.
Good numbers ZC, its hard to find them. I saw a matching set of items on ebay, all #21 of Vader, Luke, Obi-Wan, Han's blaster starting for something like $4500.
I've got two sabers now. Neither are MR but they're quality sabers. One is Aayla's saber with an emitter you can change out for Shakk Ti's/Adi Gallia's. The other is Mace's saber from EP1 from Larbel's collection. I might pick up Dooku's saber while waiting for Mace's EP2 saber to become avalable.
I really like getting the more rare non-MR sabers of other characters.
and where can people get these non-mr sabers
Dunno but maybe they are older licences, ICON made replica sabers before MR
There are sites around which so you how to make your own saber hilts from the movies for around $50... If ya strapped for cash you could always make your own :D
I tried making one of my own sabers, but like I always say, "Ya get what ya pay for." And when you buy $20 worth of hardware, you get a $20 saber.
The non-MR sabers I'm talking about are avalable on ebay every now and then. I've seen Leia's saber that she made herself (not one given to her). And Aurra Sing's saber. All the Qui-Gon Jinn sabers are custom made. Some people copy the MR sabers pretty well. Some are made by Larbel, one of the artists that used to make sabers for MR.
My point of view is, you can always get a sold-out MR saber on ebay for a reasonable price if you wait for it. But the non-MR sabers are rare finds and really show off your fan-boy when you know there are only a handful of copies out there.
ive made my own (2) not bad really.
but where could i find non mr sabers...or these 50$ custom ones?
the icons are sold out everywhere and are alot more than MR
Like I said, the best place to find specific sabers based on actual props is ebay. Ya just gotta watch it for a few weeks to find one you want and are willing to pay for. Talk to the seller and ask them questions about it. You shouldn't pay any more than you would for a MR saber. Less actually. In fact, I'm planning to wait for the MR Mace saber to be released and then buy it on ebay, its a lot cheeper there. I'll have to wait longer but probably pay half as much.
But, you can find cheeper ones that arn't based on the character props, but simply custom sabers.
http://www.rlsasabers.com/)
are pretty cheep. That's probably because they seem to use the same basic shapes to make a lot of different sabers.
http://www.parksabers.com/arcwave.html)
are kinda expensive. That seems to be because of the craftmanship put into the sabers. They look much more detailed and a lot of them have blades and extra options.
http://larbel.amer.net/)
Larbel doesn't make sabers anymore. You can sometimes find them for sale on ebay though.

Make your own from hardware. You get what you pay for.

I like to use this site to compair the custom sabers I find on ebay to what they should look like. It appears as though a lot of research went into the histories page.
well ok thanx, those arnt bad, but there isnt good info for ordering on those , eccept not for thre cheaper ones, i mean i dont have a job (sadly) thus no money, but ill eventually get another MR i guess, or maybe ill save for a mini bust.
