Wannawanga/Roy found the production vs. shipping angles to not be cost prohibitive. Parks generally takes 37 years to ship anything so they must have realized they should take it down.
Legit MPPs have been a rarity from the start. The Heiland comparable parts are still relatively common. I just got a MPP style shroud for $12 off ebay.

He actually responded to my email last week. Customer service just isn't his strong suit.

Suggestion: Change the thread title to something more specific, like "Availability of MPP replicas and replica parts?"
It is a shame the replicas you mention are no longer available, they were great. But it's only a matter of time before someone else steps up and fills the MPP replica gap. Especially now that it's likely we'll see Vader carrying an MPP in Rogue One.

Parks, if I recall, only had so many MPP's available; it was only a matter of time before it dried up. If memory also serves correct, I remember reading him focusing on doing his 2.0 hilts from now on.
I know Roy was looking into alternatives in shipping the shrouds (someone ordering it in bulk in the States to handle the shipping), last I read. So it's not all without hope. Not yet, anyway.

I've heard that Korbanth is actually doing a run of MPP 2.0's right now. I'd say message him and ask.
He is. He is doing it on fx-sabers website.
Maybe if we all ask Roman very nicely he'll do an MPP next year. After all with Rogue One coming I have a feeling 2017 is going to be the year of the MPP.
then its a good thing I ordered a parks mpp while he still had them. I was looking to buy roys shroud but at least I got the main hilt part out of the way seeing how parks has been labeled the most accurate so far. if roman makes one, it would most likely be completely accurate.

You know, there's a dude trying to sell an original MPP on Ebay right now for the low low price of $7,000!!
What a steal!

I'll take that bet. It'll be a good replica like the 1.0, completely custom made like episode 3 or the real deal.

Hmph. It's finally coming full circle when the production company goes to those building the replicas to use for the film props...
I'm with you. I'm sure the Vader saber was built up in the prepro days of TFA and then it never made it to screen during the writing/rewrites. It's been waiting, silently in the shadows like any good Sith would.
It's rumored there was supposed to be a remake of the Luke-Vader ESB duel in Cloud City from a different perspective for Rey's vision sequence. The film would seem to support that idea in that we do see a little bit of Cloud City but then it cuts away. Perhaps they bought the MPP with the intent of using it in that scene. Obviously they didn't follow through with that concept however.

Yea that was confirmed, which is also why they released a vader and luke figure for the TFA line
Ah gotcha, so it's anyone's guess what they will use in Rogue One then. The nostalgia/attention to detail in TFA was very refreshing. It will be very disappointing if they don't go MPP for Vader.

It's been said they replicated the ANH vader for Rouge One, making several stunt suits. I think if they went out their way to replicate an older suit, then I imagine they'd at least make an MPP based replica saber, if not using the original parts, but perhaps it's own variation.
