HobbyLobby is a huge craft type store with tons of stuff that could be used in building or detailing a saber. They sell a lot of different types of leather strips as well.

The Luke ROTJ was my first converted saber. Although mine was a MR. It was pretty loud with the stock speaker. Not sure if the Hasbro is as loud as the older MR. It was one of my favorite sabers. It...

All three are awesome sabers. I would have been happy with whichever one won. And all three had Igniter R2's!

This is another one of those "how do I make a black blade" thread. A blade that retracts into a hilt just cant happen. Not unless you want it to look like a toy. One, the hilt is only on average 12...

Most people don't realize these toys of ours exist. When you tell someone your "building a lightsaber" they only think of what they saw in the movies, a lazer sword that can cut thru anything....

Thanks. I like the way it came out as well. The red is candy red transparent.

All of the replica Graflex sabers out there right now come from the same manufacturer in China. Parks buys his supply from them. They are the same as the others. All can be modified with the right...

Thanks guys. I really like the color combo as well. I think the black chrome on the neck, emitter and pommel are going to look great in person.

I will have this saber in hand next week, it's going out Monday. All that were involved with the build have just done a fantastic job. The hilt itself came out beautiful. The fonts and colors are...

I went to Ace Hardware and bought the correct size tap for my set screw. I drilled my hole and then inserted my tap into a handle and twisted. You want to twist a few times and then "unscrew" the...

Thanks, I like it too. It came out better than I thought. Yeah the pommel isn't that big but it is bigger than the hilt, and that's the way I had hopped. Here are a few more pictures. The metal...

Thanks, but the choke is under the emitter. I think what you are seeing is the hole in the pommel insert. The emitter is in the second picture.

Over the years I have had most of the MR FX sabers and some of the newer Hasbro FX sabers. Some were Luxeon converted. I even built a full chassis Graflex with US board. Sadly, all of these have been...

I missed the drill/tap service as well. I drilled and tapped my BRS myself with an 8/32 tap I picked up at Ace Hardware. I also had to drill out for my Box #9 holes as well. I borrowed a drill press...

When I built my Graflex I scratched up my own chassis. I don't know if the store had the chassis disks back then but they sure would have been helpful. I wound up using poker chips! Here are a few...

Lol, no frustration, hate, or wasted money here. I do plan my purchases carefully and buy what I need when I need it. I'm not new to the saber scene. I have built several including a full...

Thanks for the info. I would love to order everything I need at once but I can't. Hold off on ordering till I have the cash for everything? I wish I could but I'm too compulsive, LoL.

I am starting an MHS build. Slowly gathering parts as I am on a budget. I have a question though that I couldn't really find a definative answer on. Do you need a lense holder when using a 10W...

Good to hear on the quality. I ordered one of these as well.

I just got my first MHS order in the mail today. Just the hilt parts. I ordered more stuff for it this morning too. I have to say I am really impressed with the quality of the parts. I had no doubt...
