Why not make a replica? There are Heiland 3-Cells, Synchronars and Graflex 3-Cells listed there all the time. The Heiland's are pretty cheap but the Graflex's will cost ya!

Careful on the sites you post. The ones you listed are okay. One guy sells replicated parts, ParkSabers is okay because they don't use lightsabers.

Read the FAQ...

Do not post links to unlicensed dealers. You only make like difficult for us and them.

A very cheap one would be to go to Wal-Mart and look in their home repair department. The bathroom pop-up drain assembly on a blue & white blister card with the words "Under Sink Repair" on it costs $9.94. Basically, all you'd have to do to turn it into a lightsaber is to remove the metal piece that makes the drain pop up, and move the silver stopper on top to the other end. And replace the knob on the side to make it smaller if you want. Very easy, no knowledge of dremels or other metal-working tools required. happy

I'd just like to say that not only does the red cap pop off, but Parks now provides a clear one too. And no, it's not so it doesn't shine like a flashlight, it's so crap won't fall in the tube. I know I'm a bit late, but I've just read the thread.

Does the silver cap cost extra?

And why does an orange cap remind me too much of cap guns?

Hi Jaina,
NP if it's alte.:)
Ok so they come w/ an orange cap thingy,(pop da' ting off.) is there a way to make something that can fit in there permenatly? Will these clear caps come off while dueling? be awefully embarrassing to have a cap go flying happy
When I dueled w/ tree sawed off tree branches.(No swords.) my neighbor and i dueled full boar. We had broken tree branches from our fights scattered all over the yard. :-) No bruises on us b/c BOTH of knew how to pull back and NOT hit the other one. So don't worry, I won't hurt of ya'. happy

:The Force is strong w/ this one.:

Mynn...
I believe what Azeem was saying is that Parks doesn't call their sabers by the name "lightsabers"...which would get them into legal trouble...

No, the clear cap doesn't cost extra, and my saber hasn't come in yet (I found out about the clear cap because the red one bothered me too and I asked about it when I ordered my Echelon). I would think the clear ones are made the same way the red ones are made, and since the red one is basically a "this is the end of a long stick, do not put your eye where it's going" type of precautionary liability thing, I would think it's made to really stay on. Although I personally wouldn't go around beating trees with something that expensive (I live in Texas so with tax my saber came to $300+).

Warning, I have 2 parksabers, which are excellent by the way, and the red caps do come off if you are dueling hard with them. I've actually lost one of them and replaced it with the clear one on both so they match. I'm looking for some way to secure them down so they don't go anywhere.

Do the clear caps come w/ it already OR you have to ask them for them?
