I'm gonna challenge you on something because i like your humor...lol. You would never sell your efx Luke Reveal? Not even for a Rylo Reveal assuming you don't already have one?
When I say never sell, that is assuming all goes well financially. Family always first.
Okay mystery solving time. I actually feel bad about this. Some time ago a member listed a Rylo Reveal AP for $650. I was the one who snagged it.
I felt bad as I knew it was way underpriced and often have contacted members when I have seen instances of this and let them know they are way underselling it and to pull it right away and check prices. I have snagged a few "good deals" but these are just priced well. When I see someone list something so underpriced I always let them know. I feel it would be taking advantage otherwise. I am not slamming anyone who snags great deals.
Well, my morals failed. I happen to be online minutes after it was listed and I snagged it. I told myself he knew what he was doing and if he did not check, not my problem. All of which is true of course. We are under no moral obligation to not snag a really good deal, but despite many bad breaks in life I am also a blessed person so I like to help when I can, bla, bla.
I have turned down many good deals as mentioned so I snagged it.
Anyway I became one of the few who owns both the EFX Reveal and the Rylo Reveal. I think only 45 were made of Rylo's. Honestly if I won the lottery I would hunt down and buy two. One for me and one for poor Rylo who does not actually own one for himself. Since it was such a nightmare for him to build he kept to his word and never made more.
So I had them both. I never understood the hatred some had for the EFX. It was awesome from the start. Just great. I heard people say it was crap, was like a toy, etc. and sold them. Very odd as it's awesome. I tried to get a Rylo earlier and failed so it was a great option. I don't remember such hostility toward other sabers, especially on Rebelscum forums.
Let me say I am very knowledgeable on sabers. Like a normal expert or at least knowledgeable. Many of you are insanely knowledgeable to the extant I can't even see what you mean when staring at the pic. You are beyond experts, so bare with me if I get something wrong.
I also always heard, from non haters, that the EFX is awesome but Rylo's is much better,....well,.....here we go.
I feel a tremor in the Force, or as I like to say on a roller coaster, "Oh crap, here we go!"
One such common comment is Rylo's is better engineered, felt more solid, opened easier, etc. Barely true IMHO. Rylo's does feel smoother in the movement, but just barely. Handling both, Rylo's does have a slight edge.
So yes, it's a little better engineered, but just barely and really so close it's hard to notice. On that note Rylo's has less if any sag. The EFX needs to be tightened and displayed just right to eliminate the sag when opened, but still be able to close without loosening the screws.
Rylo's has a real crystal but no light up arrows or crystal.
The EFX crystal looks uber cool lit up, but is plastic.
Rylo's grip rings are even and I think a little thick.
EFX's grip rings are even, but the correct thinness.
Rylo's neck and activation box are brass.
EFX's neck and activation box edges are shiny copper. Copper is more accurate, but shiny makes it look wrong. When dullcoated it looks correct. I have seen one person with the courage to dullcoat their EFX neck and box sides and it looked perfect. Someday I will try it.
So, I sold the Rylo. I know, I can feel your anger.
Two reasons. The EFX is a little more accurate. I am sorry, and feel disloyal to the community for saying that. I feel the hate flowing through you all.
The EFX is also a bit more fun to play with. I love the light up features, etc.
Although I love the display case and plaque I made the decision simply based on which saber I prefer. Not extras or price. As problems in life happen I simply could not justify keeping both of them and I agonized over which to keep.
EFX sells for much more, but Rylo's is much rarer and special.
It really just came down to my personal preference on the saber itself.
I bought it for the insane price of $650 and it sold for, I think $1,500 through a friend on Ebay. Honestly I thought I would get more for it, but times are tough.
So there you go. For me I made the right decision. Neither are perfect and both are masterpieces. I now need to go add this to my Lotto List thread.
