BTW does anyone know of a good tool to pry off those buttons on an Anakin FX? I've been using a dentist pick but that is a delicate procedure and can still mar the bezel.

Hey Ultra, last night I used a clay sculpting tool to great effect. It's shaped like a spade, but the tip is slightly curled in. After masking the bezel with masking tape, I just stuck it down, pulled back and up, and out popped the button. I found the tool in my modeling box so I don't know exactly where to get one or how much it cost, but if I remember correctly it was less than $2. Any hobby store should have one, and if you're going to be doing a lot of these, which it looks like you are, I'd highly recommend one. I hope this helps.

Yes, it has already been posted in here... Same instructions, but take out the "drill holes in copper buttons" part and insert "pry buttons off carefully."
I like to use those small jeweler's screw drivers.

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not. But is there any way of taking apart the Anakin AOTC MR saber? I know they are not as easy as the new 2005 models, but if anyone has done this any help would be great.

The aotc saber is fun but super easy. Just find the screw's and remove them(you can remove the triangular screw with scissors). When you get to the on/off switch you'll have to pop it off and cut the wires then remove the screw under the switch. Then everything pop's out the bottom. I have Pics I just need to find them then i'll post them. Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.

I did the same thing with my Luke ROTJ. I'm going to make a custom hilt for it. I did cobble together a tutorial with photos:

I was going to post a thread, but I was waiting to figure out if there was a better place to put the info.

Quick question, how does the size on the hilt of the MR FX saber (anakin episode 3) compare to say, the MR limited edition hilt or just a graflex conversion, is it noticably bigger?

It's slightly bigger. Someone posted a picture of their MR FX Anakin next to a graflex but I can't remember where.
