Re: Full Size LEGO Lightsaber...
I used to sell colored blades, and still have a bunch of yellow if you need some :
I think these are 0.75". I'll check on that.

Thanks Roman. Unfortunately the blades for these are 1-1/4" diameter.

"FYI: About 13 years ago, Tim P. was selling his version of this lightsaber over at ASAP which I was the admin. I soon got a C&D letter in the mail from Lego (I guess I was the only address they could obtain). The letter was actually quite nice for a C&D. They explained they had no objection to the design but of the use of the description as a "Lego Lightsaber" They suggested the name be changed to "Building Brick Lightsaber". I contacted Tim and let him know and the Lego Legal and let them know I was not selling the item but I had notified the actual person and that we were both complying with the C&D. That was the end of it.
Just thought you (and The RPF) might like to know."
Something you should not ignore.

Re: Full Size LEGO Lightsaber...
Thanks Tripoli. JamesKenobi mentioned that too. If I change the name of this project do you think people would get it?
BTW, it's also funny how they didn't object to the build because I've seen my LEGO lightsabers at some LEGO booths at trade shows and conventions.

Re: Full Size LEGO Lightsaber...
I think members here would understand. Lego is protecting their intellectual property name. I think as well they like the replicas as a pr boost at conventions and such but cannot endorse such. This is a simple solution for both you and them. If they see too much abuse though, they may not be too friendly. Best not to poke a sleeping dragon.

@Lukke I've seen interest for the LEGO run on the IRA. You might get more interest over there. It's just a suggestion...

Re: Full Size LEGO Lightsaber...
Actually I did post something there but no one seemed interested. Maybe I'll copy this over there.

I think I'm going to drop out of the interest list because the hilt won't be able to accept electronics.
