re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

I actually felt guilty choosing only one.

I feel the same way! Stunning work all around! It was also great fun trying to pick out the items used. The "PEZ" dispensor still has me smiling!:lol

These are all great! What an outstanding effort from everyone to take their time and close attention to create something that took a lot of passion to accomplish. Congrats to everyone who gave it a go!

Exactly what I was thinking, too.

In my whole year of being here, I've never seen a better group of dollar store lightsaber entries than in this particular contest :) (yeah, means I only saw two contests in total :lol )

Congratulations to everyone who's in the running- you all did fantastic and creative jobs!
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Wow... I am totally blown away by all these entries - many of them put mine to shame...
The build quality this year far outweighs what I was able to find pics of from last year's contest. I'm really very very very impressed!!

Good stuff guys!

I'm with you I only spent $10 but a lot of these I'm impressed that the parts came from a Dollar Store.

I have $8 in mine... I kept thinking I should put more into it and I was right!
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Right about now I'd love to know who made #6 I want one for myself.
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Damn I love Saber 6, I hope the builder makes a tut for it, and there are a few other I hope tutorials are made for too.

I bought 19 items but only used 10 of them. I made four different trips to the Dollar tree and kept seeing parts that I liked better.

There are so many great sabers here that it will be hard to choose just one. I will probably look at them a few times over the next few days before casting my vote.
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Wow...As a new member here I am amazed by the creativity of the members. Grats to you all. Almost impossible to pick but I need a parts list for #6 !!!...Truly beautiful.
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

I had to go with #6 because it felt like a cross between the game Portal and Star Wars. Pure awesome.

Everyone did such an awesome job with all of these. #10 was a close 2nd for me. The weathering on it is fantastic.
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

well done all, they all look fab! theres no way that I could ever design something that good!
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

I thought #16 was very creative.
Very nice designs guys and gals:)
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Dang Im jealous of all of them...
Number 6 should have an Aperture Science logo on it :D
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

I think they're all fantastic, one just stood out to me as something truly incredible.

Congratulations to you all!
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Hmmm...I think it's fair to say at this point, that my design concept was somewhat misguided. :lol

Ah well.
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

As one of the hosts, I am not voting, because I just don't think it would be far to play favorites.

However, I will say, I love all of these sabers. I was really blown away, by them all, as they came into my inbox.

I doubt I could pick just one. Though I have to say, I really love the clean look of #6.

I love the detail of #9 (come on, it has a "charger").

I love #14 because it reminds me the saber I built years ago, for one of these contest, only this on is far better then mine. :)

I really like the the unusual, look of #16. It looks so comfortable to hold. Very sleek, and cool looking.

For me I think #20 really sold the "Blade" thing. I mean, if I didn't know better, I would think that person had actually built a "real" lightsaber.

I really like the detail work on #22.

#25 blows my mind. I mean, that saber looks almost as good as the replica Obi-wan sabers, that cost hundreds, and it was made with dollar store junk.

#26. is there cool too. I really want to play with that one. I want to see how that middle handle option feels in person. It is very creative.

Oh, heck, I love them all, I would love to have one of each of them for my own saber collection. :)

Well done all. Oh, and I'm loving the return of the insidie parts, sub theme thing. So many sabers with really cool insidie parts. :)
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Oh absolutely! Some of these just blow my mind. Before I looked at the poll results and voted, I sat down and tried to guess the top 12 (because there are twelve prizes) positions based on my opinion of the designs & builds. I'm proud to say that thus far, I nailed the top two. ;) No, I won't post the whole list, that'd be ridiculous, but here's the highlights.

#6 is simply amazing. Bravo! PLEASE post a build thread after the contest!

#14 is unique, imaginative, well built, and just plain looks great.

#15 simply looks like it could have been OT screen used.

#5 Very clean, and solid build. Love it!

#25 That is an AWESOME Obi Replica, and from a $1 store to boot!

Like I said though, great contributions all around, and I really hope we do this again next year. :cool
 
re: 2010 "$1 Store" Lightsaber Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

WOW! Very nice all! Mines in there, but I feel sorta rookie at this point, there are some modelling masters in here! wow! /applause
