WOW! The Holiday Special saber is now canon. Let the prices on Graflites soar!

I ordered a copy the day they hit Amazon and mine's been pushed back until Jan as well :-/

Mine did the same thing. I cancelled my original order, found it for less and got it sooner.

Is that a toggle switch and plate on the holiday saber control box? Where did these people find these weird ass switches!

Nothing new with Royal guards. Some Vader shots were new to me, but I’m not a Vader expert. I’m sure many of them were already out there.

I do have something new I will be posting in just a bit. It’s a “new” lightsaber.

Ok..thanks for looking.

Went to the Taschen store for a peek... holy crap the book is huge. Like physically huge.

I had intend to flip and pic, but that wasn't realistic so I just had to buy the whole thing of course.

Largest and heaviest book I’ve ever owned.

Do you have access to a hi res scanner? I went to staples today to get some quotes but theirs is down...

I too was pretty amazed at the size of the box on my step, damn heavy too..

No scanner, but I have some tricks.

There's so many saber pics it's crazy. Like, stuff we've seen from slightly different angles.

I like this one-- clamp lever down, box perfectly at 3:00

I noticed that one. Also, check out the kobold “dome”.

It’s sticking out quite a bit more than usual and has a very dark “spot” or “reflection” on it. Also, the “stem” on the dome looks to be a different material.
