    Default Luke ANH disassembly?

    Has anyone here taken apart their Luke ANH lightsaber yet? IF so, please post pics or maybe a link to where someone has posted a tutorial on how to do so. Thanks

    I haven't seen one and given the supply troubles I'm not sure we'll see one too soon.

    I should have one on the way shortly but from what I have heard I might not like it. It seems like they pulled a switch going with different materials than the first wave. The Anakin hilt I got from vortextwist is way heavier than my stock Anakin FX. This is just the hilt itself with guts removed (turning it into a Vader ROTJ). I will keep the Luke ANH for my collection but will be getting another Anakin to convert into a Luke ANH/ESB. When you guys get yours let me know what you think.

    Thanks!

    Are we talking the Anakin ROTS? Yeah, it's well known they switched some construction. It was made for a few years and the first ones had more plastic. Later ones had more metal and were slightly heavier.

    Yeah I am talking about the ROTS. From reviews of those who got the first wave Luke ANH, the hilt was heavy. Reviews of the recent wave are that they are light. Looks like they did opposite of the ROTS.

    Thanks!

    Ok while it has it's flaws I want to convert mine. I see that Ultra has converted 4 and have them for sale. I wonder if Tim is far behind. I love Tim's conversion kits and cannot wait.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure Tim wants to bother at all with conversion kits now that MR is going out... He already said he doesn't want to stock ones that are out now... so it doesn't look likely.

    Does anyone know if the Anakin ROTS kit from the store will fit a Luke ANH?

    Thanks!

    I'm not too sure it will. The thing is, the luke seems to be slightly smaller than the Anakin, and the bigger problem will be that the anakin conversion kit has that emitter part that sticks out from the main tube, and thus the emitter ring of the luke ANH will get in the way.
