I bought a sabacc deck for $40.00 shipped off of eBay. I figured they are $15.00 at the park plus tax, he pays eBay fees, PayPal feels and shipping, so he probably got $10.00 for his trouble. That is a fair mark up to me.

I would only want to buy the scrap pieces of the style I purchased. I would not want pieces from the other styles unless I was buying it all the parts to do a new hilt design. You really can’t mix the the four different styles because each style has a different metal coloring and/or texture. They just look strange if you mix them. Take a look...
They will probably not be selling the cores because those are not scrap. You always use the core from the set. Plus I doubt they want to pull people away from the experience.

Are those yours? If so what is your take on the over quality and construction.

Star Wars fans drop $25,000 for droid from Galaxy's Edge
It seems no price is too high for some Star Wars fans.www.clickorlando.com
Anyone know what this is about? Disney is selling custom made 1:1 droids??
This has been a major topic of discussion among the R2 Builders groups. Reactions have been all over the place. They are custom built to order by a company in Orlando. It is known what the company is, but there was some ugliness involving threats of lawsuit when some posts were made naming the players, so I will not name them here.
My personal opinion is that, yes you can build one on your own cheaper, but when you factor in labor, $25K is not really that outrageous. Would I buy one? No, but I’m not the target market either. Club 33 members are really who are gonna be the ones buying these. Overall, it’s actually not a bad droid, but pretty basic when it comes to electronics. Supposedly, Dome is aluminum and body is fiberglass and uses a PlayStation style controller.

Ouch. that looks much worse than expected - like sort of the really cheap toy sabers.

No. They belong to a guy who has a YouTube channel and has been reviewing a lot of GE items. I grabbed he image from his Facebook page. He has a lot of videos posted:

There are a lot of reviews by various people talking about these Savi Workshop lightsabers. For the most part people enjoy the experience and they are pleasantly surprised that the hilt pieces are metal and heavy. They report that there is a slight wobble in the blades when fitted into the hilt but most believe it is to allow some give if stuck against something. They say the legacy hilts have similar wobbles.

A vast majority seem to really like the experience and the final product. So that's a good sign. Cameron i take it you feel the $200 was worth it? Just curios how a die hard prop collector or RPF member would review them.
It sounds like the $200 is well worth it.
It would very cool but frustrating for super fans if they added or switched out the various lightsabre styles every so often at Savi's Workshop.

I enjoyed the experience. The saber not so much. To clunky and thick. Not the elegant weapon of a Jedi.

If I may bug you, which style did you pick?
Yes the fact that they are thick or clunky has been a noted downside to these sabres on youtube reviews... they look thicker than fx sabres and some say thicker than ultrasabres.
I can forgive the extra gurth seeing as you get the chassis, get to put in the crystal and build it with some controlled and/or guided personalization.
Like i said my only real concern is the metal on plastic screw threads.
Thanks so much for your input.
A friend was just there yesterday. They were completely sold out of Vader Legacy sabers. They only had Maul, Ahsoka, Ventress, Kylo, and the Jedi Temple Guard.

Sorry about your luck.
But if its any consolation i just saw a YouTube video about them being out stock on many different items. Im sure lots of people are bumbed... misery loves company.
My guess is they do have stock but I'm sure they're holding a cache until Disneyworld GE opens.
Ive also heard that crowds have really quieted after reservation time passed. Can anybody comment on that here?
