What are you looking for in your saber?
Are you looking for something that you can use to duel with other people or are you looking for something that just looks cool?

I've been beating this dead horse for a while.
Hasbro will be rolling out FX sabers this fall. From What I've read, they're going to start with Anakin ROTS and Vader (Not sure which version). Once...
What saber are you going to gut? Teardowns of most of the MRs can be found in the MR to luxeon 3w conversions forum.

I have a few extra EL diffusers lying around and I could use an extra LED diffuser. If you feel like trading, PM me. My EL diffusers are cut to 34.5".
My point is that I don't expect Hasbro to have any imagination. They'll most likely repackage the original designs while rolling out some new sabers.
Face it. We're tools. All of us.
Hasbro...
If you're worried about conversion kit availabilty, it might not be a bad idea to shelve the project for a few months.
Tim seems to cut new bladeholders based on demand and since Master Replicas...
I was going by the pics that he has on the website for the battery pack. That's why I mentioned that I've never seen one in person. Those pics make the battery pack look bulky to me.
I've long...
Odd. I thought a while back about getting a hilt from him and completely gutting it. I thought I could use his empty hilt as a shell to refit with tcss parts. I moved on to other projects and forgot...
Really? I've never seen a Park's Saber up close. I know he incorporates an enormously bulky battery pack but I always figured that the insides could be discarded for tcss equiptment (3/4 blade,...
Sorry. George Lucas will not let Star Wars go because he's TERRIFIED to do anything else anymore.
Think about it: in the mid 70's culminating in 1977, he created something that is still so...
Ahhhhhhhhhh...
Sorry. I'm a little slow these days. I must have a bad motivator or something.
I'm slightly glad someone beat me to the question so I wouldn't be the only tool who had to ask.
We're in this together my friend.
A little off for a real graflex? I've used the tcss bladeholder on a graflex and it lines up flawlessly. I was curious if it would work on a MR Luke.
Has anyone asked Tim if the led graflex blade holder fits? As long as the holes line up I'm sure that thickness issues could be addressed by either sanding the inside of the hilt or adding tape to...
Welcome indeed. Soldering iron + dremel + imagination + $ + TCSS = Saber.
You've come to the right place.
Feel free to drink the Kool-Aid. We've all had it and it's quite refreshing.

I'm not as familiar with the 03 el, but if the poly-c blade is the same as the led versions that followed, I have an extra lying around. Given that this is the forum of a store, I'm NOT SELLING it,...
Ok. I may be talking out of my butt, but I assume we're just throwing ideas around here...
What about a slider hidden inside the hilt that is attached to a piece of metal that sits flush with the...
Does anyone else find it unacceptable that in 2008 (as opposed to 1977) we don't have AT-ATs for military use? Lightsabers defy physics (so far) but AT-ATs are certainly achieveable.
Cool. Didn't get in touch with him/her, but I did find some pics there that helped.
Thanks.
You're looking for the graflex button/switches at www.graflexshop.com/.
It seems that they come disassembled. Here's Corbin's explanation of how to assemble them (he designed them)....
Niiiiiiiice idea with the heat gun. I'll have to try that on my next conversion. I rarely damage the buttons and such much but that sounds like a time saver.
The thing I see people griping about...
31 and the greys are starting to poke through. Now, aout that resonance chamber for a graflex....
Pipster hasn't been in for months. I'm looking for graflex-friendly (3-cell/ anakin-luke) solution for a resonance chamber. Preferably I'd like to see pics and pipster's pics pre-date the overhaul of...
If anyone in the Hudson Valley area of NY is interested, the FYE at the Middletown Galleria has about 6 each of the ANH Lukes and ESB Vaders. I went in to pick up a copy of National Treasure 2 and...
