I lurk this thread with dread for fear of going insane with envy.

I've got a question for you all, what's the actual weight of an only real parts Ben Kenobi saber ?

2 pounds, 5 ounces here.

:lol I'm kinda the same. I've been a member here long enough that I feel like I could've done like some people here and sought out these things early enough on in their discovery and had a better shot at finding them, and for slightly less exorbitant prices... But I didn't, because I know for me it would become too all consuming (in my mind, my time, and my wallet), and I just have to draw the line somewhere. And if I'm being totally honest it's just not feasible on my budget. So apart from my Graflexes I'm happy to seek out the best available replicas, enjoy these threads on the RPF, and just relax my perfectionist mind a bit.

Looking good! Maybe swap out the Roman's (I'm assuming) with either the No. 3 or the ANM2 piece to keep it all consistent? Still love that partial barrel jacket!

I've decided on doing a Tunisia Build on my real parts, I'll probably be getting a Roman's for a chronicles at some point, though.

Hey OdiWan72 ! How much did you have to shell out to get that vintage Ziploc bag? IT'S GORGEOUS! :lol

Seriously though, you should look for an action figure case protector for your Exactra if you want to keep it perfect. Something like one of these maybe...

And maybe something like one of these for your spare Balance Pipe...

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions guys! I was just inspired by the wonderful setups of some other hardcore collectors.

Might swap the renade and barrel/ booster and see how it looks.
"Vintage ziploc" :lol ...it was late and I just wanted to have all parts in one place, so I simply put the Exactra in there just as I received it

Found a pic that I had seen before but not as clear. Its a reference photo by Tom Jung that is for sale in an auction (not by me).

Nice.
The Machismo pic upside down, and a little clearer.

What's inside the emitter to hold the Balance Pipe to the No.3MkI grenade section . . . still remains a mystery :confused

My own thread explains my theory about the contents of the Tunisia hero saber;

That's beautiful! I'm not familiar with that part. I'm trying to figure out the connecting of balance pipe to the saber body.
