eFX Luke ROTJ Lightsaber Reveal Preorder Finally Coming Up

[Thibault]

Grrrrr !

First, the BenHS machinist for his Nosiy Cricket.... Then, machinist for the SD Neuralyzer... etc...

We are doomed ... and we are made to suffer... and to wait... :lol

 

[FuseNova]

We experienced similar delays with the EFX MCVader helmet - also due to quality issues (paint I believe). I don't think we'll ever get the full story on any of these delays

Still - I'll take the delays rather than a sub-par product.

Still - I'll take the delays rather than a sub-par product.

Exactly - I would rather wait a few extra months than get something I would be unhappy with.

 

[C0mmand3rC0dy]

All I want is an update for the Celebreation V Xwing Helmets! :rolleyes

 

[DarthLuumzl]

All I want is an update for the Celebreation V Xwing Helmets! :rolleyes

I second that...

 

[rkpetersen]

Still - I'll take the delays rather than a sub-par product.

Yes, but sometimes we get both. :unsure

 

[AJK001]

Yes, but sometimes we get both. :unsure

I don't recall getting any sub-par products from eFX, but then I didn't buy the stunt sabers and don't count them.

:eek Whats with the Copper? :eek

 

[Thibault]

Too shinny humm ?

 

[kursosawa]

I dont mind the super shiny copper in the neck, but i didn't particularly care for the excessive shine on the rods of the internals.

 

[Planettera]

I agree. It looks way too shiny and seems like there are some accuracy issues as well which I have notices. Hopefully this is not the finalized version.

 

[Apollo]

The rods should be brass and don't even get me started on the control box details or rather lack there of

 

[sakanade]

I don't think it is supposed to be that shiny and I don't know much about this saber in particular.

Also copper rods?!

 

[Son of Skywalker]

I know in the past that an OWK saber was on display at SDCC that still needed weathering.


Edit: I think it was the never produced extreme edition.

 

[Thibault]

Hey... Maybe they are trying to fix that ...?
I mean, maybe they delayed because of this shiny rods....

 

[AJK001]

Your looking at a Prototype. Prototype's tend to be different from the final production model.

I would also like to know what you are comparing it to in deciding that it does not look correct. If you are comparing it to Rylo's Reveal, that is unfair to both of them as they are completely different animals.

 

[Thibault]

Compared to the Elstree one... It is completely different...

 

[CessnaDriver]

Maybe there are some oxidation considerations down the road and materials and finishes are still being tweaked.

 

[AJK001]

We go through this with almost every replica. There have been many cases where the prototype and the production versions were very different, and I will admit not always for the better. But most of the time they get it correct. Bryan said these were going to take longer because of how strict they were being with QC, so I'm really looking forward to this.
