9/14:
All refunds as of now have been issued.
Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.
I do have new projects coming up. Stuff no one else has done. A lot more affordable and very cool stuff.
8/28: PROJECT CANCELED
Well, my wife and I tried to make this happen six ways to Sunday and it’s just not going to be practical to do this project right now. Just not enough people have signed up and the financing we were thinking about doing is just not going to be a smart move for us. The risk is just too high. It seriously kills me to do this but I’m gonna have to cancel the project…for now. Maybe a year from now I’ll ask again but right now I just can’t make it happen. The gap is too wide for how many we have and how many we need.
First off I want to say thank you to everyone who participated. Your incredible patience was appreciated in ways I cannot express. I hope you all understand. I’m sorry to have let you down. I’m super bummed we can’t do it. I will be refunding everyone starting tomorrow in the order I received them. It’s gonna take me a few days to get them all out.
I do have other projects I want to move forward with. I’ll put up interest threads on those in the up and coming weeks.
Thanks again all for your support and your patience.

Or do we just call it a Blastsaber?
So, yeah. I've been working on this (cue tease photo)
Details:
***From my research, the toy version, the one that shoots darts, is based and built from the same 3D files the show model is made. The one physically made prop on display at Disney seems to confirm that. The toy version of course has a few detail changes because of the mass toy manufacturing process. I've accounted for those changes with all the reference material I've been collecting.
***It will be finished the same way it appears on the show. As first built by (in this case) actually means weathered.
***Since we never see the clip swivel open I think keeping it in a fixed closed position will be best. It will cut down on what I have to do, helping to keep cost down.
***Room for electronics. Yes. the hilt will accommodate 1.25"x6" inside for electronics. The body of the "pistol" and emitter will have a 1.02" bore for a blade. The barrel of the pistol will be accessible so if you want to put a flasher in for a blaster effect you can.
***I have this broken down to about 15 components and almost a dozen fasteners.It's going to be complex but not impossible.
***It will be CNC machined from aluminum.
***Selector switch will rotate and click into positions.
***I have something a little extra planned to be included on this project.
PRICING:
$515 each. Shipping $19 via USPS Large Flat Rate with Tracking and Insurance within the US. If you're international, please contact me for shipping options. This pricing is based on getting 60 units made. Hopefully all of you and more will be able to get in on this project.
$290.00 non-refundable deposit due by May 22nd. Balance due when the shop is completed with machining. I'll try to give at least two weeks notice before they're ready. Lead time for machining is 8-12 weeks.
Just to be clear that if you're payment isn't in by the 22nd, that doesn't mean you can't get in on the run. You can. I just need at least 42 people by the 22nd to get machining started.
Full payment up front or early balance payments will always be accepted.
Payments will be accepted now through Paypal at jc@bluemiragestudio.com. Do NOT send payment as a gift.
