First rule of checked bags.... never put anything in there you don't want stolen or broken. You can't have locks on your bag that aren't TSA approved because they have to open them to inspect your...

A couple of years ago I posted some pictures of a Mag-Lite saber I created. Here is the POST. Mag-Lite has come out with a new Pro flashlight that is almost 2x brighter than the original Mag-Lite...

I did mine with no resistor. Used Lux 3w deep red. It works great. That thing in the picture connected to the gray wire is the clash sensor. It comes out of the blade. Tricky little suckers.

Update- May 31 - I corrected the issue with the blade retention screw hole (I bought another kit) by widening the hole through the hilt with a Dremel and now it works perfectly. I will also add...

Finished this today. It's a Hasbro Signature Series FX Vader from Ep IV. I used a Lux 3w Deep Red to avoid the possibility of having a pink blade. Everything went well except the soldering, which...

My Vader removable blade conversion was going well until the soldering part. I had everything soldered together, and had the chassis back in the hilt when the LED stopped working. I took it apart...

Awesome. I did order both 8.7 and 5 to see what works best. I have a longer 38in battle blade for another saber I will try out once I get it built, but I think I might try a Corbin style blade,...

Hi - I see a lot of people saying to get the 5 degree lens, but Tim says in the Lux Rebel Star description that the 8.7MM is best with the Lux. What is the consensus? I am going to convert a...

I found some o rings the size of the inside diameter of the lens housing inside the blade holder. I had one colored filter and it does rattle around inside and it makes the beam in the blade uneven...

Wow. I have one that looks very similar, but I used a rubber grip from a worklight as the grip. I really like the leather grip you put on this and the o rings make a nice accent. I have an...

Well - at least I know there are two now. A red one and a green one. :)

The good thing about those blade screws is you can change them whenever you want, so if you want to quickly change the look of your saber, you can. FYI everyone - the 5 degree lens is not as good...

It's the maglite LED. There are apparently certain versions of the Mag-Lite flashlight where the LED cannot be replaced- at least that's what the instructions seem to indicate. This one has one of...

Wow....

Made a basic saber from a grey 2 D cell Mag-Lite with the D-Cell Mag-Lite blade holder from TCSS. Got a rubber grip off an LED work light. Added a replica Graflex glass eye button as the blade...

I wouldn't mount it on the inside of your arm. It would be too easy to fold your wrist inward and slice your hand in two if it were a real lightsaber. If the blade were on the top or outside of...

I am pretty sure the inflatable blade was the official Star Wars branded product that came out. I remember being disappointed that that was all Kenner or whoever made it was putting out at the time....

How many of you have ever owned or seen one of these? I was about 9-10 years old when I got this for Christmas the year Star Wars came out - the first time.

It's a plastic...

Cool. Inside I was thinking 2 Lithium Ion pack with sound board. With box 2 it holds AV switch, aux momentary switch, and recharge port. Oh -and of course I'll need to mount a speaker. I want to...

Thanks. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days. On a 7 inch main tube, I could just barely fit a 2.25 inch box 2 and 3.5 inch grip groves with about .25 inches to spare between the...

I have been looking at a lot of builds over the past few days and I haven't seen any that have the grips mounted from the inside through slots cut into the hilt. The store sells them as grip style...
