Any of you folks have pics of my green or blue board installed?
Any feedback welcome, as well, if I need to change anything.

I have green, I was going to get blue as well but I think its too blue.......if you could nail a teal or blue tinted green id buy like 3, haha.
Green is super close but it needs to be a shade or so more towards green on a color scale if thats possible.
Chaim I think hit the nail on the head though that the bubbles match a green board, its definitely even when looking blue, a blue green not pure blue.
Here is your green:

Here's what my observation and research from DV lightsaber pictures and my real Exactra calculators led to conclude ... the bubbles being used in Vader's MPP are the frosted ones with flattened side edges . . . clearly seen here :
Here's the Exactra 20* with the blue board and no flat edges, yet all roundish bubbles :
Since Vader's lightsaber was build in the UK ... for me the TI-2000 (Made in Italy) which also is frosted and has a green board is at least a good option for the bubblestrip being used in Vader's MPP :
I might have an Exactra 19 or 20 with frosted bubbles yet I did not open all 8 of them to be photographed ... so unless blue frosted bubblestrips with flattened edges do exist in Exactra 19/20's . . . then this post can be regarded null and void . . . eventhough I clearly see green . . . not blue boards being used. Perhaps The Prop Store's CEO Stephen Lane or Brandon Alinger could shed some more light on the matter . . . once and for all

the board on bottom exists in blue color, but the blue is not a deep blue,not the same as the "ti" branded all tin plated boards, more darl blue color, and some greenish areas too, and with classical gold plated copper threads, this is what I put on my mpp.
first may be a blue
You can see it's very different to replicas.
I have two greenies and a weird opaque beige card.
Mine was also "greenish albino" :lol

Here are mine. One is the same TI-20 as Scott posted above, so I got em all out and shined a light through the backs of each board to see if I had a blue one too. They're all green.
(Also, all are non-frosted with flat bubble edges.)

The solder mask on the board in my Exactra 20 had not been applied correctly, not covering the bottom of the blue circuit board substrate.
I think also that it looks as if solder-mask wasn't supposed to have been applied around the bubble strip's rightmost rivet. It could be easier to look there than through the bubbles to find the true colour of the board substrate.
