Hi Dave, Looks great, as usual. I'm interested. Thank you!

If this one edges out the Roman's, or even gets close, it's historical. That's worth it.

What's yet another Obi Wan ANH for my other three? At this point I realize I'm unable to say, "no." Count me in, please! Amazing work! Thank you!

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that kit. I saw it when I bought my ESB shroud from them. I'm not a Graflex fan at all, but that might be reason to get a replica from the Graflex Shop. The DV6 is my favorite dark side saber.

This is how I exert my fan energy these days, and people like you are (and the other RPF rockstars) are the new meta heroes for me, now that Lucas et al are sort of out of the game. The art of analysis and re-creation shouldn't be underestimated. Then WannaWanga's kit is an add-on for sabers?

This is a masterful thesis! These write-ups are improving in accuracy AND style! Does this mean a run of super-accurate DV6s are in our future? My 89Sabers probably doesn't cut it now :(

I'm hooked, guys...don't worry. And the fact that someone who doesn't like the movie that much is this addicted to the prop really attests to its mysterious allure. I mean, it's one of my favorite scifi movies. My favorite genre is 80's scifi: Empire and Jedi, Buckaroo Bonsai (wait...

And here I just liked the movie haha. I just started reading about the history of this prop...amazing!

Haha and here I was wondering if there was more than one option!

Thanks, Androidandy. A definitive synopsis I think. It sounds like the Rick Ross versions are hard to come by. Hollywood Collectibles is selling a "Retail" version of the Tomenosuke for 900 USD. I have a lot to think about. And I'm not holding out too much excitement for the sequel, given...

I'm a newb! Not taking sides! I must have been off-world during this war.

Thanks, guys. As I expected, more options than I know what to do with. But I'm sure it's okay to have more than just one.

It looks like the benchmark caliber props in this area are around 900-1200 USD, so maybe around there(?) I don't know yet. I never go into these quests with a fixed price in mind. Rather, I see what the market is demanding, and then figure out what "crap" I could sell to make that happen.

That's a really good point. I've evolved considerably in my appreciation of lightsaber replicas, from demanding only the most screen-accurate versions to seeking out artistic interpretations. They're like artifacts of another fan's idiosyncratic appreciation of a movie. I guess that's the...

Wow! Everything I needed to know in one post! Thanks, Serenity! It's easy to be a geek with helpful people like you around :)
