European source for lightsaber parts?

[Dats]

Hi all,

Does anyone have some good sources for lightsaber parts based in Europe?

I'm going to be attempting my first ever lightsaber build and though the prices of the parts from US retailers are very good their shipping prices are not.

An example would be the The Custom Saber Shop. I wanted to purchase a "Shouldered 1" thick walled blade tip with reflective disk" which they sell for the very reasonable price of US$3.50. However I cannot really justify their shipping price of US$41.25 for Priority Mail International to me here in Germany. This price goes up to US$55.91 for Express Mail International shipping.

I realise that they may have no control over these prices but as I said, I really cannot justify paying that amount. Especially on my first foray into the world of prop making.

I'm seriously hoping that someone will have some tips or ideas for me.

Thanks.

You might see if you can get parts from jqsabers They are in Europe. I haven't dealt with their products myself but I have heard nothing but good things about them from the various lightsaber related forums.

Hey ARKM,

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just had a quick look about the site you linked and it seems as if they would be a great source.

I'll post a review if I end up buying from them

Thanks a lot.

Anyone else have any good sites or sources?
