Huzzah! Also gives me enough time to save up for the conversion parts and other innards with all the other projects I'm waiting to pay for. (And start piecing together an MK1 FX kit)

G R A F L E X P R AY E R

Now I lay me down to sleep
I will soon have a Romans G R A F L E X to keep
If I ever think to sell
I hope I remember the wait was hell.
And after these there will be no more
So get on board and order some more.
Amen

Great news Roman, can't wait been almost a year but its going to be well worth it.

Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

Nice! Very nice! The Anticipation will probably kill me lol, but to be honest I'm glad for the extra time :). With all the projects I have going on, was starting to feel the pressure getting details of these builds sorted out.

Will these be as readily as a 2.0 or a mk1 kit? If so then I will definetley order another in the future.

Hey guys. I purchased one back in May and can't wait. How do I read the names on the first page listed Dec, Jan, Feb, etc? Is that when they are shipping or is that when they placed the order??
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

When the orders were placed.
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

Yeah, I don't even remember when I pre-ordered mine during the initial availability, but I know I got in kind of late. So I'm not expecting mine in the first few batches. Can't wait to pair this with an eventual Roman's Obi Wan saber for the two ANH blue sabers I've wanted to own for forever.

Is it safe to assume that the repro lower Graflex halves are on the same timeline? I'm excited to at long last no longer have to look at the wrong;y spaced permanent holes I drilled in my Graflex back in the 90s...
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

You know, I bought a second, pre-drilled bottom to replace my same mistake from way back in the day with no template attempt.

I plan on updating the grips on it, but I think I'll maintain the original placement, after looking at new and more pics, they weren't as perfectly symmetrical as we once thought.

I'll swap bottoms as I see fit, I'm sure or, more likely I'll just keep my original one...until someone comments on how "they're not right" lol.
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

My problem is my build is an ANH style and I drilled my very uneven holes before it was discovered it had 7 grips.

Just curious, but why did you need to drill for an ANH sabre? I've always just glued mine on as no rivets were needed?
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

Because it was 1994 and all I had were blurry pics in the Star Wars RPG sourcebooks and the Shane Johnson Tech Journal. I knew from the journal there were rivets. I knew from one good ANH pic there was the glass eye that was already on the Graflex I acquired. Since I couldn't locate the right kind of windshield wipers, I just made some simple rubber strips and riveted them into holes. Tech journal made it seem like 6 was the number, so that's what i did, by hand, with the patience of a 20 year old.

I've replaced them since with t-track of course, but it's currently an ANH 6-grip to cover the holes. Even if I found another knob to make it ESB, the holes are so uneven it would look terrible.
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === flashgun ... COUNTDOWN in 3...2...1...

I have thought about getting a second bottom cell so I can convert to an ESB hilt, but then I realized I can do that with the Graflex 2.0 I'm working on already much easier. Haha.
