Kobold Flash score!

[Indy Magnoli]

Pretty happy about this... picked it up for less than $20:

Planning on adding this to my Solo rig. I know it's not the same model, but I prefer "real world" parts whenever possible to accurate resin castings. I like the feel of the real things.

For 20 bucks you would be a fool to complain! Nice find.

 

[Panaflex]

Wow, Nice find!

Always looking for the vintage clip part for my ESB bottom but no luck.

 

[Edraven99]

Very nice!

Aah ... the 'Princess Leia' Droidcaller ... as I call it ... looks good ... I have purchased the same when thinking the Kobold clip would also work for an ESB lightsaber ... alas the screws are further apart instead of closer :wacko

Great score! And for under $20...very nice job. Wish the Linhof I got was a Kobold instead, and black on the bottom... and that I could have paid less than $20 for it!

 

[Broilermaker]

Nice score, I will give you $22.50 for it

Indeed.

But be carefull with the clip, Kobold used 2 versions. One with the 2 screws on one end, what would be the correct version for the d-ring holder. And another one, like on this, with one screw on each end - not the correct clip for a accurate lightsaber.

Congrats! This is so cool to see, excellent find! I also always prefer real world close parts to copies usually so I feel yah. I love the emitter portion

20 bucks! what?!? your so lucky!!

And... two years later, I find this deal for just over $20:

After two coats of matte black, I am one happy camper:

I think I'll let it distress natrually... we'll see how long I can leave it pristine.

 

[Halliwax]

Damn that's a deal!

I'm distressed naturally just from missing the auction.

Oh c'mon! I have never seen any SW worthy items out in the wild! :lol Were those off eBay or a real store?

Twenty bucks?! That's crazy! I would definitely love to own one of these! Great pick up!

Nice Score! Does it have a knurled edge on the bottom or is it smooth around the edge?

It has a knurled edge.
