I ordered a dozen from eBay because it was cheaper than buying 4 from that site. Same thing though. If they work when they come in I'll have extras if anybody wants one.
Just search for:
12 Pieces Czech Glass Round Cabochons-Crystal 11mm
and you'll see 'em, it's $3.55 domestic.
Hello everyone!! So since the release of the Graflex 2.0 I have seen many people who are new to this hobby and are confused and overwhelmed as to where to start. With the release of TFA there has been a HUGE insurgence of people wanting their own lightsaber and more specifically, a Graflex. With only photo journals to go by, often with poor descriptions, I took it upon myself to create an incredibly in-depth video tutorial for those just starting out. (Keep in mind I have never made videos before now so please excuse any learning handicaps lol) After many weeks of thought, planning, filming and editing I am proud to say they are finally complete!! If you are new to this hobby and are looking for a step-by-step guide then look no further!!! If you are a seasoned professional you're probably not going to learn anything you haven't known for years lol. So with any further ado, I present to... "Let's Build a Graflex 2.0"...

Yes I know exactly how you feel. I have a few star wars items, back before fantom menice came out I had every star wars toy you could get some how I got fustrated and sold everything in one pop if I had all that stuff now it would be worth a bunch. here's what I found out then these guys I bought from called docking bay 94 would scour every walmart and buy up all the star wars stuff and resale at a profit this is where my pains of collecting happened so now I only collect what catches my eye once again I am about where I was back then. but I love collecting and can't stop. I think as Hollywood said madness I just spent over a grand on one crazy figure I just had to have. its yacface mint on card with coin. sorry to get off topic but I see where you are coming from. Well I will have a bunch of sabers to build, kinda went mad on this project. what can I say I am loving these sabers as well as this thread. you guys have to check out my 1966 tv batmobile thread a on going project that's been in process for about 3 and a half years but its about done. These sabers can't wait to get started didn't mean to write a book here just excited. Thanks....Jim

FYI, the 11mm cabochons are ever so slightly too big and will not fit flat in the TGS eye. Someone may want to try 10mm but those may be too small. It wouldn't surprise me if the eyes are 10.5mm or something funky like that.

Hay I may have a way out on the glass eye I have something that may be the fix. Ill post some pics here in a bit these will have to be sanded and buffed out but it can all be done by hand I was already looking at using this for mine as well and if you guys like them. I have plenty and will be glad to help a fellow modeler out. Thanks....Jim

Here's some pics of these they are see through but defused they can be sanded and made clear they are a very hard plastic also some pics of some of my building tools I ordered. These have flat bottoms 
you guys are welcome to some of these at no cost freeby just pm me. Thanks....Jim

Actually frosted may diffuse the light for shine-through glass eyes better than clear. Thanks and very generous, Jim.
And yep, looks like 10mm to me. This is the replacement eye I ordered from TGS:

Is there a way to mod the thumb screw that comes with the 2.0 and add one of these?
