That's cool.

I'd get rid of the picture on it though... I think it would be cooler if it was subtle, not having this big sign on it. :roll:

I don't... that just makes me laugh. I can't believe MR is doing this. It's ridiculous.

lol, nope. With a Heiland and converted ESB the Vader is last saber I need another one of.

Seriously... it's odd enough when you find someone into lightsabers too... now we could walk down the street and see the nerds when it rains??? :shock:

Yeah, the real nerds will figure out how to make the shaft a dualable retractable blade with choice of colors :P :lol:

Are they doing a Qui-Gon? :wink:

They've had these in Japan for a while, but I think the pic was of the Death Star...

I found out the truth..

George was going to a meeting with MR and it was raining hard enough to make you think Noah was busy building the Ark. Once GL got inside, he made the comment that even Darth Vader would get wet in this rain. Well the creative minds at MR had an LED go off in their heads and quickly assembled a Vader umbrella from a FX saber that failed QA and presented it to GL as a new item to market. GL was impressed how fast they were able to pull this one outta their Force holes.

So now we have the Vader Umbrella (SW-339) coming to market. They were wondering what they would do with all those defects anyway...

:lol:
:idea: It costs as much(maybe more) than an FX. Can't you just take the blade off an fx hilt and salvage an old umbrella "hilt" (handle) to fit inside the sab hilt?
Then comes the issue of the activation button. It'd be better to use an FX, since you'd make lightsaber sounds as you swing it! :twisted:
