The MHS sabers look cool but i don't have the skills needed to build one. Also, to build every combination it would costs more than i have. Which MR sabers would you recomend?

uhh you dont need any skills to build one, just use the mhs led tutorial or adapt that with an el mhs saber, its pretty easy, ive never built one but it looks damn easy![:)]

While this is mostly a board for doing it yourself... it seems you want an fx suggestion. It boggles me that you don't have the Ani ROTS yet, it's just about the most popular saber.

If you are looking for FX sabers then the only two missing are the mace and the anakin EP3. If you want to really hunt then look for a anakin EP2 saber or a luke EP5 saber then you will have them all.

i was thinking getting the obi wan rots cause i read that the paint on the gold buttons for the anakin rots rub off.

Do-Clo

The obi-wan has not been released yet, and the anakin only rubs off with a lot of use. The big problem with all of the MR FX sabers is that if you plan on dueling you run the risk of damaging them.

i know the obi wan rots hasn't been released yet. also about the ani, isn't the dark spot really obvious on it?

xwingband
07-05-2006, 01:13 PM
It depends... all of them have it but some would say it's worse on the Luke ROTJ because we are more sensative to green.

Just Convert them to Luxeon anyway. That's a good way to get rid of "spots".[:p]

do luxeons have even lighting? from the pics. i've seen it is considerably brighter at the base of the blade than it is at the top.

ryanlb

They are not evenly lit, no. The LED is in the hilt so the blade is brighter at the base. I have a Vader FX with a blue Luxeon and it's dimmest point is about the same as my Anakin FX, so far as I can tell, while the base of the blade is many times brighter. Plus, removable blades! Hilts I can carry around on my belt without the awkward blade getting in the way.

The luxeon is brighter at the base but with Tim's diffuser the blade is fairly even the rest of the way. Take a look at some of the pictures in the gallery section.

It's still possible to convert them it's just harder without a kit. He's working on all of them though. The Anakin and Maul kits should be here shortly.

how even is the lighting for the ultrasabers conversion?

ryanlb
07-05-2006, 02:21 PM
I don't have an Ultra conversion (yet) but I do have a Vader FX converted to a blue Luxeon, and with a mirror in the tip of the blade it's lit very well at the end, nowhere near as bright as the base of the blade, but at least as light as my Anakin FX.

who converted your vader to a blue luxeon?

ryanlb
07-05-2006, 02:29 PM
I bought it from some guy on ebay...
(looking it up)
his user name is jpspcsoh.
He sells them for quite cheap - a buy it now of $75 plus $15 shipping. I've purchased 3 from him, two are perfect (so far) the third sounds really crappy and one of the batter terminals has corrosion on it - I have yet to discuss it with him.
I plan to buy Tims conversion kits for one of them, so I can upgrade the blade (and change the LED) and probably resell one, because it turns out I can't afford 3. [:I]
