So I happened on the KR Sabers site after watching Tested's Thermal Detonator video, and while the detonator kit was sold out, I noticed that they had a Graflex replica at a much lower price than I'd ever run into (i.e., less than $100, lol). Even if the manufacture was imperfect, it looked so good to me that I had to get one. And thankfully my delightful parents decided that it would make a good birthday gift, so they got it for me. I can't thank them enough for that, because this is my favorite saber of all time! Unfortunately for them, the website hiccuped while they were purchasing it, so now I have *two* of them. And so I naturally plan on making a TESB version, lol. But anyway, I found a nice set of parts on Etsy that looked pretty legit to me, and after they arrived I set about making my replica. It's not perfect by a LONG stretch. The grips are not all aligned and are a bit wonky. But honestly... I kind of like the look, as it makes it look handmade and a little rough, like a Star Wars prop should. But I'll let you be the judge of that.
I'm thinking of putting it in a drawer full of dirt, screws and crap and shaking it up to age it a little, lol. Anyway, hopefully it's the first in a long line of lightsabers from the original trilogy!
