I stopped by Borders on my way home from work just to see if MAYBE they had the maul saber in- AND THEY DID.
They only have the half-maul, however when you buy two they become $90 each. Otherwise they're $100 each.
These things are so effin' sweet. I can't wait until tonight so I can go out and really get a good look at this thing swinging in the dark.
It seemed they managed to slim the FX sabers down even more than they already had. Putting it butt to butt with the ROTS Anakin and ESB Vader, this is definitely evident.
Another awesome feature is that the polycarbonate tubes are actually thicker. This means there's a lot less risk in killing an LED while fighting.
I've also heard a few people complaining about there being two covertech knobs when you combine it for the full maul- I just unscrewed one of them and tried cajoling the saber loose and it's still perfectly solid.
I gotta say, they really hit a home run with this one. Could is have used a different sound board than the Vader? Sure. A bit of scorching on the battle damaged end? Of course (however I intend to replicate that as a side-project, since the battle damaged ends are just end caps). But other than that, this is an amazing piece at an incredible price.
This is THE must-have Star Wars item of the year, without any doubt.
