I asked him about 10 blades, but he seemed willing to negotiate, so we might be able to get a group rate with less than that.

True, Mick, they are pricey, but I received solid assurances from Mike at Lighttech that they will withstand any combat abuse we can dish out.

The major differences between these and other companies' blades are Lighttech's use of Polycarbonate as a blade tube, instead of Acrylic(which shatters easily), and the use of an EL (Elecroluminecent) blade (think Timex Indiglo), instead of something fragile, like neon. The blades mentioned by Void earlier in this topic are made from neon tubes with a protective acrylic cover tube. Not good at all for fighting.

So I think that these Lighttech blades, though pricey, are well worth the money.

Mike at Llighttech said prolly about 10%. If I can get enough people (about 10), I'll get things finalized.

Hey, Void, forget about picking me up if the shopping trip is still a go. Essays have gotten the best of me so I have to skip shopping this weekend. cry

Oh well, at least I WILL be there the week after...

Mobius,

I think after seeing my tax return that I might be up for buying one. Let me know if anything develops...

I think I see part of the cause for the demise for the Old Republic... the Jedi couldn't even afford sabers til the gov't decided to give them their money back from taxes... happy

poor Kristie. I don't know if there was a shopping trip, I don't think so. I went out looking for fabric for a new cloak, but its mostly easter junk now. Maybe in a week or two...
hmm, I don't think I'll come to the party with anything to make (prefer to do it on my own for some reason) but maybe I'll just come to hang out and see what everyone's up to if no one minds...
