I'll possibly purchase this Sidious lightsaber kit from here:

Has any of you ordered any products from there?
And if you are, are they good?

Why would you want a resin saber? Just for display?
That's not the best casting I've seen. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the best ones they'd done. What you get could look a lot worse.
I'm thinking he may also be recasting other people's work without permission.
I'll have to watch that site for the Rebel Pilot wings, then I'll know if he's recasting, when I see those.

It would only be a display piece. I recently fell in love with sidious' saber, and I don't want any .45 scaled replicas, and that other MR replica costs 400 $, which is too much for me.
Which one would you get? The painted, or unpainted one? The painted one isn't impressive. They didn't sand the seams down well and the painting is sloppy.
So, if nobody says they've heard of or bought from this place are you going to trust them? Since you said you don't trust people who sell FX sound boards. Maybe it's not as important if you only lose $20 for an unpainted resin cast.

Yeah..
I'll be the "pioneer" after I get my first saber done first.
Okay maybe Im just having an I.D.10.T error here but how exactly do you plan on ordering from them? I see no checkout/add to cart/order anywhere on that page...
EDIT: Nevermind... Figured it out by visiting their main page.

Request a catalog from these guys:

They have a Sidious saber among some other really cool weapons.
I've seen them @ a few cons over the years and they do some pretty good work. Better than newmoon.
I bought a Dagger replica from the ST:TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror" and am pretty happy with the quality.
Next time I see them, I'm gonna grab the Sandman's pistol from "Logan's Run".

The first pistol shown (what they call, the MAC Pistol), which they say they own the license to, is a slightly modified (very slightly modfied) original Laser Tag gun. I should know, I still have one. Unless they bought the copyrights from the toy manufacturer, I call shenanigans.

From Wikipedia: "Internet Explorer slows down GIFs if the framerate is 20 frames per second or higher and Microsoft reports that Google Chrome and Safari also slow down some GIF animations."
He is recasting. The imperial tie fighter pilot wings he has for sale, I bought one of those from the guy who made them, and it wasn't this guy. I'll be sending him an email over on the RPF.
Yeah, I know someone whose stuff New Moon had recast for a time. I don't know if she ever got her stuff pulled, to be honest. I know she was having a problem getting them to even acknowledge her (big surprise).
And to add to that, I've heard some sketchy stuff about the quality of their castings overall. My advice would be to avoid them entirely.
