Besides the Kylo hilt, Kylo Helmet, Darth Vader Melted and Rey hilt, did anyone else order any of the other Prop Shop TFA props?

TRAPPED-DESTINY OF GOOD...or EVIL?
Holy ever-lovin' crap! I just realized through tedious photo analysis and comparisons that the DISNEY STORE version is actually the closest (dimensionally-speaking) hilt replica available. The Hasbro has an overall size similar to the prop, yes. But while it has an accurate lower section and upper section diameter, it is noticeably too thick in the middle.
the Pawn, can you please post a pic of the propshop hilt next to a Disney Store hilt to confirm this?
The Disney Store version has the same dimensionally-accurate lower and upper sections (a hair over 2" diameter for the upper section), PLUS it has the correct mid-section diameter (1.67" according to my calculations) as the real deal, as opposed to the 1.8" mid-section diameter of the Hasbro version.
The Disney Store version shares these innacuracies with the Hasbro:
• shorter and wider top emitter to accommodate a plastic blade
• wider and shorter side quillions
• larger-diameter area immediately underneath the top emitter to match the enlarged upper emitter diameter
The Disney Store version has this unique inaccuracy compared to the Hasbro version:
• 4 of the six vertical flared cooling fins on the bottom section are tapered on one side to allow removal of each half of the lower section from a mold
I've been wanting to do a hardware build, and had convinced myself, before you posted pics of the propshop saber, that the Disney was slightly oversized. If you could post this comparison, it would really help me a lot.
Thanks!
