TFA Graflex Research (That's a Graflex, right? Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)

Re: That's a Graflex, right (Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)?

Looks like I won't be buying those ultra low head hex screws. They only deal with companies listed in section 14 of the German Civil Code or some such crap!!!

You know the prop guys do this just to mess with us, right.

I have an account with this company, so I can order from them. But they are ridiculously expensive! Almost $2 a piece!!
I'm looking at an alternative manufacturer.

Yep, even the grips are different with the ones seen in the Fathead poster being very square and symmetrical as for the Disney ones, the middle fin is more broad from below like Gino's and Roy's grips, and the Hex Screw/Rivet dilemma.

I love that the Hex Screw/Rivet is a
Dilemma! Only on the RPF. Lol.

I don't have a stint blade, but is the glass eye that holds it in. I was thinking maybe that's why the knurling might be missing from the Wired Graflex. Maybe it list the knurls tightening it down.

Trying to find a higher res version of the new Empire magazine cover. Might reveal some details

That lightsaber effect for the cover is horrendous..but still, a detail worth noting

It's the D-ring, I'm gonna stand behind that. . When these people see him carrying a lightsaber vertically the D-ring hangs. So these designers and editors sometimes use reference pics but don't know what they're looking at so they do their touch up and editing and this is the crappy result we get. Anyway.. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it :lol

Looks like I'll be changing half the parts on my saber after the film comes out. That's what I get for jumping the gun. The next time I get a chance, I'll be checking an industrial hardware company by me, called Fastenal. As the name implies, they have a large selection of fasteners and other things. I like the idea of allen head bolts better than rivets anyway, they look cleaner and are less permanent.

This place is packed!!! :popcorn

Is that Space Mountain with some Star Wars "spice" added to it?

You should have seen it on Monday last week. The Han and Chewie meet and greets were up to a 2 hour wait. By Wednesday, they were down to about 20 minutes. Edit: Derp. It's Thanksgiving week, so it's actually probably worse now, haha.

Yeah. I'm used to Disney World's Space Mountain, so it was pretty different for me. The Disneyland one is just better as a ride in general, but then when they add X Wings and Star Destroyers to it, it's amazing.
