Anyone know Roman's email address? I sent a few PMs with no luck.

I just need to ask a quick question. Thanks

Sorry if I miss anyone. It's not intentional... I've just got a ton of messages coming at me from all sides... YouTube, Facebook, RPF, emails... :wacko
I spend a couple hours on emails A DAY. A DAY!! I'm losing my mind :lol

Here's a quote about the list from a few pages back :

Romans Empire said:
The list will be up-to-date up to March 14th pre-orders. Orders March 15th and after will not be included on the list, as March 15th is when the Graflex sale was opened up to everyone through my site.The list will include those who placed an order, not those that expressed interest. Also, a lot of people did not include their screen name, as requested, so the list contains email names, not RPF screen names. :)

Hang in there, Roman! ;)

Us older members know that these things take time, and the RPF isn't amazon prime ;) I think there's a quote somewhere that goes something like..."go build something" ;)

But I want it now. Lol
We all knew going into this that it would be a late summer release, so I'm good. Gives me time to save up for the extras as well as not rush my decision on what version I will make. Paid months ago so no worries there. Now my decision would be ESB or ANH. Leaning towards ANH, but we will see.

Just order 3 more to do all 4 versions! ANH, ESB, RotJ(Vader), and TFA!

Yeah, I have a real Graflex ANH and I was going to do my Roman up with electronics as an ESB or a TFA, but the more I think about it, the more I just want to do it as an ANH too...I love that cyan color blade and the bubble strip....damn it....these decisions are too hard...

Oh man, I haddn't thought of making a Vader ROTJ. I was really hoping to keep one untouched, oh well there goes that plan...

Unless you already have the parts from some previous run, I don't know where you'd get everything else you need for Vader's ROTJ Graflex. I bought a second replica from Roman with the hopes someone would step up and offer upgrade parts, but that does't look like it's going to happen. Roman mentioned he might visit this saber in the future, but as a complete kit.

He has added conversion kits for IV and V since then, thought there was a VII kit but the whole website has changed and don't see it now. Hopefully that's how the VI Vader kit will be. Hoping Roman does a MPP flashgun for his next big run, would love an accurate IV Vader.
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... anyone? _ **MORE SAMPLE PICS**

He was pretty clear that he wouldn't be offering it as add-on parts. The Luke ANH and ESB parts are simple stick-on and screw-on bits for the most part - small holes for the grips on ESB. But the Vader ROTJ Graflex requires a lot more work - deletion of major parts, addition of many parts and some pretty big holes to be made in very specific locations of the upper portion of the flash gun - most people would not be able to handle the work needed to do the conversion.

A couple of the parts are fairly common place for the Graflex ROTJ stunt saber, but the clamp and upper shroud parts are not.

The most significant parts. :) The bolts and the door clasp are easy enough.

Any chance these will start going out in July?
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... anyone? _ **MORE SAMPLE PICS**

Roman said on facebook , pending 1 more part approval ,late August . Its been a long wait but it will be worth it:)
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... anyone? _ **It's alive... It's ALIVE!!!**

A few tweaks needed still, but this working sample just makes me giddy. :p

Roman. This is a tremendous accomplishment and a gift to the hobby. You have delivered a true antique and time capsule for us all.

I assume actual functioning grenade OB1s are next ...

Quick question, Roman has three different sets of add-on T track grip parts, I assume from different movies. Which is which?
