Did MR ever produce or plan on producing a 1:1 scale Wedge and Boba Helmet? I sometimes surf ebay, just to see what's out there, and I've never seen those two other than scaled editions. And are they still closing the company or are others taking over? It's sad because there are so many potential star wars products from the Saga that would make really cool collectors items.

Does anyknow know how sales of the Luke ROTJ (ver. 2.0) Limited Edition sabers will work? Not the signatures LE's, just the plain LE's. What I mean is, the LE's went on sale already to authorized MR retailers but the sabers themselves won't be shipped until Winter time. So if we wanted to get one, would we to place an order with a retailer now or once they've shipped in December or January?

If you want to make sure, that you get one, then you should order it now.
If you wait untill they are ready to ship, then all the sabers may have been presold to others.

Some items from Master Replicas has been very popular and sold out within an hour of being released for sale and some have been in stock for month after first being released for sale. There is really no way of telling untill it is over.

If you decide to wait untill December, and it turns out this one was so popular, that it sold out before that time, then you will still have an opportunity at Ebay, though that would most likely cost you more if the saber does indeed turn out to be a popular item.

I'm sorry if this has been covered, and I did skim over allot of these pages, and couldn't find anything on the MR site.

Will there EVER be a Count Dooku Master Replicas FX Lightsaber?
I've been waiting for on since AOTC came out and I started costuming as Dooku.

Master Replicas will no longer be producing Star Wars products when their license expires by the end of this year.

They have previously said, that their last products will be:

Mara Jade Lightsaber Limited Edition
Shadow Trooper Helmet (CS Exclusive)
Luke Ep. VI V2 Limited Edition
Boba Fett Helmet Limited Edition
Boba Fett Helmet Signature Edition

There is a small chance, that they will do other products if time permits, but don't count on it.

Though their license expires by the end of the year, then Star Wars products may be released up untill the end of march next year, but I don't think they are allowed to start production of new items after this year.

I wish they'd through out some more .45's that they previously released and found stashed in the vault.

I don't want my last one to be Episode II Anakin. I want Episode II Obi.

Actually, for my last one, I might go nuts and buy a gold one of my choice.

I pre-ordered myself the Limited edition Boba Fett 1:1 Helmet which will be a Christmas gift for myself as it ships in December. I only hope that I have enough money left over from all the other Christmas expenses to pay for it.

Hey guys, I just received the MR Force FX Luke & Vader Episode IV sabers and am really pleased with them. I'm just wondering how they compare to the previous Luke and Vader sabers in quality. Anyone? Part of the reason I ask is because the thumbscrews on the EpIV Vader saber are plastic and I was wondering if that's how they were on the EpV saber.

At any rate, I'm really glad I got these since MR won't be producing them anymore. They look great next to my Darth Maul saber!
