Ok, my apologies for the mini-rant but can I please implore those of you that are embarking on The Quest to stop posting on military collector's forums and vendor sites and telling them exactly why you're looking for a grenade or a booster.
You do realize that they view this as a "desecration" to what they consider military history. As opposed to helping you find the part you're looking for, it only serves to a) put potential sellers on guard against selling to 'crazy Star Wars fans', and b) for those that are willing to sell, it jacks up the prices considerably.
I can certainly understand the zeal - I'm in this too, but be patient and be smart about it.... but please stop telling them that you want these pieces to make a lightsaber!
[end rant] :darnkids
