Thanks!
This thread was a good read.
What's the general consensus on how to treat this version of Saber? I mean in regards to which shell to use. It's delightedly fun that the fan community resulted in a replica being used for an actual film prop.
With that in mind, the pursuit of vintage Graflex's for screen accurate builds was an attempt to try and build and pay homage to the original prop.
Now that Roman's (and maybe I'm confused about this) replicas were used to produce the newest version of Anakin's saber, is it better to get a "legitimate" replica to produce a more accurate prop piece? Or do you lean on the side of using a vintage Graflex to add to the line-up?
I think I fall in the category of using a Roman's piece to keep with the spirit of what I like about this whole crazy thing.
If this has been discussed before, sorry for rehashing old things but I was just curious how longtime fans on here feel.
Regardless, it's now time to hunt down a Gen. 2 Roman's flash, lol.
That's a good point about the bottom.
Is the current Gen 2 Replica on Roman's site the same one?
Yes, romans gen2 is the same one production used
Romans “imperfections” is kind of hilarious to me
I ordered a “imperfection” flash off him, opened it and did a review. You can’t see the imperfections on screen.. and I spent more time hunting and trying to guess what and where the imperfection was.. I ended up not even posting the video because I looked like such a fool looking for them
There is a blank cap on the bottom.

Roy so your saying romans bottom tube is used, and just put a cap on it?
I wouldn't recognize Roman's bottom (no pun intended!) but I do know there's a cap on it!
So in the shots on the previous page (Tattoine, specifically) it definitely seems like a cover to me - I just hadn't paid attention before.
This is precisely the reason that many of us wanted to get Khal's kit, and then put it on a Romans. I was one of the ones strongly encouraging he still offered the kit, which he decided to re-add as a product.

Pretty sure Khal follows this thread. But my understanding is that he’ll be offering some of the kits complete with the upper half of his own Graflex, and then offer some which includes everything but the upper, all disassembled as he originally intended to do, so for those who want to use a Roman’s bottom could go for that option and just have a spare KR bottom left at the end of the build.
