Yes, the caged pommel is a hard plastic. The emitters, t-head and main body feel like aluminum though.
thank you for confirming. there was a lot of us wondering if the cage was printed or aluminum. i seriously appreciate it.

Very nice indeed. Glad you've got a piece your very happy with.
Yes, Prop Shop messed up by sending an unfinished collectible to a paying customer. However, I believe the way in which they handled the mistake speaks volumes. More so when compared to that of the almost nonexistent CS from other licensees.

As their prices are so much higher than any other licensees prices, everything under top notch CS would be a slap in the face.

Boy guys our standards are low. We are all very happy, myself included, that when someone spent a ton of money on a prop and a horrible, incorrect prop was sent they actually replaced it. And we are thrilled and impressed.
What does that say about how low our expectations are.
Come on Disney. You can do better.
I still have hope Anovos will get it together though.

I would say it doesn´t need to be commended - not cause mistakes can´t happen, but nonetheless we are way to used to bad handling from the usual suspects, standard should be that such mistakes were corrected.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for the video! Prop shop will be getting my business for sure. Did you order the Rey lightsaber ?

In the video from GQ mentioned on the previous page, he specifically picks up a lower pommel cage assembly, refers to it as "the claws," and mentions that it's made of aluminum. Also, it appears as the same dull silver color as the other cast pieces before they're sanded.

No. I am not saying that at all. This is why I avoid Social Media.
I was just saying a company that fixes a basic common mistake is great and as it should be. I was saying it's sad we are all so excited that a Licensee of Star Wars did the most basic thing because we are having such bad CS from so many others.
That's all I meant.

I can see that. I think it's more of vetting the new guy, though.
Someone has to rank at the top of service, and someone has to be the bottom.
that would be awesome if you could confirm! i remember the video as well, but i want to make sure that it is aluminum before i order one.
It can be more difficult to determine if something is metal when it's a lighter cast metal. Machined metal is denser and easier to identify. I'm not saying it's impossible that propshop made some pommels in metal and then switched to plastic at some point. But I think it's unlikely.

yeah I checked my new one and cant tell. I remember speaking with the propshop guys at comic con this year and they mentioned that some of the parts were vacuumed metalized, which might be the case for the "claw" but not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could test it? Magnets?
