Anyone out there have a Hasbro or Rubies Maul lightsaber they would be willing to part with? My nephew just made a last-minute addition to his Christmas list.

Wow I just checked e-bay and both are going for big bucks.

There did appear to be a new version I have not seen yet from Hasbro but have not seen any with the new packaging yet.

I will check with my Hasbro resource and see what can be done.

One of my friends sent this to me. The title of the email was "THE MOST AWESOME Star Wars tie-in Lucas didn't have the balls to make" What do you think? I think it would have sold out completely! http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/starwarscrap/1000714977
Apparently it was proposed to GL, but he didn't approve it for some reason. laugh

Latest addition to my collection:



The thing is in extremely nice condition. Looks like it was never worn before, no fading, stains or rips. The mask even still has it's elastic attached. The best part is it came with the box as well. Box is in amazing condition as well. Only negative is it is missing the cellophane on the window.

Eh. ebay must have taken the pic down (or the seller deleted the pic from his host). It was a vintage Luke Skywalker Halloween costume by Ben Cooper. The thing is dang near mint. Remind me to show it off to you the next time we meet up.

I can't wait to see it happy

I had a Vader one I bought at the flea market in 2006 but it's missing the mask and box bottom. Not bad for 2 bucks though.

I think I can find a box bottom and mask hopefully for it.

I also do have a complete Fall Guy kids costume which I never knew existed from the same dealer. Also 2 bucks.

I was talking to one of my coworkers today. He says he has an original Luke lightsabre that he might want to unload. I've asked him for a linkable picture for it so I can post it. Is there an interest here? Or should he go straight to eBay?

What does he mean by 'original'? Is it one of the Master Replicas or Icons ones?

I believe Master Replicas. From my conversation it appeared to be from TOS. Did they produce them back then?

Icons did them first, back in the mid-to-late 1990's. Then MR took over the line.

NOTE: Here's a pic of the saber in question. It's an Icons version:

So, back to the original question: Is there an interest here or should he go to eBay? What's a price objective for him?
