UPDATE:

[size=20pt]The time for payments has come![/size]

THIS IS FOR PEOPLE ON THE CONFIRMATION LIST ONLY right now. I will be personally contacting those on the wait list AFTER all the confirmed sabers have shipped, and I know for sure how many extras I have left.

Here's the breakdown:

Saber - $195.00 ($175.00 if you sent in a $20 deposit - check signup list if you can't remember)

Shipping - $15.00 US / $30.00 rest of world

Optional Work:

Polishing - $25.00 (Only recommended for those who plan on having a static shelf display)

Assembly - $15.00

Polishing & Assembly - $30.00

If you want assembly, please PM me directly so that we can discuss how you want it. I do NOT recommend that anyone planning on installing electronics select this option.

Please PayPal your payments to aaron@tridity.org

Be sure to include your forum name, and what options (if any) you're paying for in the notes section. These will be shipping USPS Priority in the US. If you want insurance, it's an extra $3.05.

I'm still waiting on the LEDs to show up, but once those arrive, these will all be getting shipped. I'm a one man show, so please be patient. Gotta do it all by hand, and there are quite a lot of sabers.

[size=8pt]screen used hero[/size]

Finally, everything is all set to go! Due to the rising cost of Delrin/acetal (yay oil inflation), these are going to cost just a tad more than I had wanted. I hope I don't lose too many of you. You really don't want to miss out on the be all and end all of Ep 2 Anakin sabers.

The stats:


  • [li]Accurately proportioned to the screen used metal hero[/li]
    [li]Alternate parts for a 100% screen accurate static display, or a 99% screen accurate electronics compatible duelable hilt[/li]
    [li]Duelable hilt will accept a 1" blade (not included)[/li]
    [li]All aluminum construction with brass and black acetal detail parts[/li]
    [li]Chrome bezels with red and green lensed LEDs included, as well as clear lensed LEDs for the control box[/li]
    [li]Black acetal "covertec knob" included[/li]
    [li]Machine formed steel wire loop for shroud[/li]
    [li]Polishing to a chrome like finish available for additional cost[/li]
    [li]Saber comes unassambled, all parts easily screw together, grips and top of control box w/ LEDs will need to be glued. Assembly available for additional cost[/li]

The Price:

$195.00 + shipping

The shipping I don't have a price for just yet, as I wont know how small a box I can cram all the pieces into until I have a finished one. If I can get it into a small USPS Flat Rate Priority box, it'll only be $4.95 US, $10.95 CAN & MEX, and $14.95 rest of world. However, if I have to go the next size up, it'll be $10.70 US, $43.45 rest of world. :( Sorry about that. I may work for the post office, but I have no control over the prices. UPS and FedEx want almost twice that amount for international. $30 would probably cover international if I don't send it Priority Mail, but there's a higher risk of loss or damage.

To Order:

Reserving a saber in this thread is a commitment to buy. I will not ask for payment until the sabers are ready to ship, but I will require a $20 deposit (which will be deducted form your final total), so that I can buy the acetal stock, as it's just too expensive for me to front the cash for on a run this large. If for some reason, the machinist dies, or I get a C&D, or have to cancel the run for any reason, you WILL all get refunded over the course of a few weeks. If it's easier for you to pay everything right now, I will hold your money in escrow until the sabers are ready to ship. Please include your board name in the PayPal info so I know who you are.

Please send me a PM and/or post in this thread if you would like to be added to the reservation list, and paypal your $20 deposit to aaron@tridity.org

I'll update this thread as often as possible with progress, but please bear in mind, the machinist will be working on these after his 9-5 machining job to save us all in cost (they'd cost twice as much on company time), so these could take several weeks or a couple months to complete. They wont take anywhere near as long as my Ki-Adi Mundi run did, though.

I will be closing the list on July 4th, so please sign up before then. If you need an extra week or two to get me the deposit, that's fine, but I need to know how many are on board so I can get started.

Good the hear, I was thinking about these last night! :)
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

I'm excited too. Oh, I've got a question for ya. PM incoming.
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

Please add me to the list! I will send deposit shortly.

Thanks
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

Glad to see this is going to happen! What's the approximate cost to have it polished?
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

I haven't quite worked that out yet. Someone sent me an old Chen Ep2Anakin saber to polish up for them. Once I do that and find out how long it takes, how much polishing compound it eats, and how much wear and tear on my cloth wheels it deals, I'll be able to nail down a price. A rough guesstimate would be in the $10 - $30 range.
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

I won't really be able to estimate that until I know exactly how many sabers I'll be making. I will say that my first run was WAYYYY over schedule at 5 months from start to completion, but we ran into a comedy of delays (lost a month and half when a third of the sabers had to be restarted due to an error, lost a couple weeks when machinist was in the hospital, lost a couple weeks experimenting with bead blasting and powder coating, etc). It was my first time. *blush*

This run wont take ANYWHERE NEAR as long. It's a much simpler to machine saber, there's no coating of parts needed, a lot of the parts are Delrin, which machines much much faster, and most importantly, there is no complicated engraving that requires an indexer that likes to break down every 15 minutes.

Once everyone is signed up that wants in on the run, I'll be able to get an estimate from the machinist. And whatever number he gives, I'll add an extra week or three onto, because if there's one thing I've learned here is that machinists ALWAYS underestimates machine time. All of them do. Even our own ridiculously gifted Russ on these boards inadvertently does it. But hey, so long as we get a great product in the end, which my machinist and Russ certainly deliver, then who cares if it takes a little longer.

Regardless, I'll be pushing to get these out asap so that I can get my next saber run going (I'm thinking Maul).

Man, am I sad I have to miss out on this one.
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

List up to date. I'll only be taking deposits for the next couple more days. I'll work with you on payments if you need it (ie installments, extensions, etc).
 
Re: TridCloudwalker's Anakin AotC Lightsaber Run!

Deposit sent for a chrome polished saber.
