*Official* Scaled .45 replicas MR Thread

16...

Your quite the collector. This thread is back for now...It was really slow there for a bit geez.

 

Yep, if you read some of my earlier posts, I've been getting lots of great deals on brand new 0.45 sabers off of ebay, here's my list of what I have:

Ep1 Darth Maul (Battle Damaged)
Ep2 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ep2 Mace Windu
Ep2 Count Dooku
Ep3 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ep3 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Gold Chase)
Ep3 Anakin Skywalker
Ep3 Darth Tyranus
Ep3 Darth Sidious
Ep3 Darth Sidious (Smoked Chrome)
Ep3 Yoda
Ep3 Yoda (Smoked Chrome)
Ep3 Darth Vader
Ep4 Darth Vader
Ep4 Luke Skywalker
Ep6 Luke Skywalker

Plus five trio display cases

 

All I currently own are:

Ep4 Luke
Ep3 Darth Tyranus

I plan to collect all three lukes.
Ep4 Vader, Ep1 Maul, and some Obi-Wans.

That way I can have a trio case of Luke's, a Trio case of Sith, and then Obi-Wan's, Qui-Gons, and perhaps Yoda for my Jedi case.

 

Well I've just ordered myself a Dooku lightsabre, since it's easily the most sexiest lightsabre ever.

I've never seen one of these up close, so I hope it's worth it.

 

The Dooku saber is great. Nice detail on it. The AOTC version is rarer than the ROTS version.

 

Turns out I ordered Tyranus' sabre, not Dooku's one. I didn't realise there were two versions. But I'm still happy with my purchase, and look forward to getting it.

 

Same thing as far as I'm concerned.

I have his and it's amazing...I'm sure you'll like it. Just remember these are small.

 

I think Count Dooku is the AOTC saber version, and Darth Tyranus is the ROTS version.

 

I know...But they look almost identical. So it doesn't really matter does it?

 

to people that collect them all it does....

 

There's a slight difference according to the Master Replica website, but the difference is so small I certainly don't care!

And yes, I do realise they're small. I just can't afford to spend hundreds of pounds on a full scale one.

 

I own both the count dooku and darth tyranus, and you're all right, there's very litte difference. Aesthetically, I think I like the rots version more, but value wise the count dooku one is rarer and worth more, so it would be better to get that one if you want collectibility value.

 

For the longest time, I only had 3 minis:

Ep4 Obi-Wan Kenobi "As First Built By"
Ep2 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ep3 Obi-Wan Kenobi

Last month, I decided I must have them all!!! Now I have:

Ep1 Darth Maul "Battle Damaged"
Ep2 Anakin Skywalker
Ep2 Mace Windu
Ep3 Anakin Skywalker
Ep3 Darth Sidious
Ep3 Yoda
Ep4 Darth Vader
Ep4 Obi-Wan Kenobi "Weathered"
Ep6 Luke Skywalker

The best part is that I was able to get the sabers above for $20-$21 each.

Ooh, and I have a pending CS: Darth Maul. Now I just have to get display cases...

Edit: I now have a pending Ep3 Darth Vader, hee!

 

That's why these are so awesome you have the detail and the look of the full scale models except .45 the size. These are exact replicas and they show because every last little detail is included. And with them being so cheap you can collect your favorite jedi's saber instead of just one big one.

I like how you can get the whole .45 collection for what it would cost to buy one full size replica.

Dooku and Tyranus's are almost identical..so it doesn't really matter to me.

I am debating on which Obi-Wan to get though...

 

Pesonally, I think they should have called him Mr. Dooku. It sounds more sinister.

The Tyranus is pretty cool

I think you should get the ANH Obi- Wan.

 

I really want the Tyranus/Dooku saber (any one will do). It looks so bada$$.

In other news:
I got my ROTS Darth Vader yesterday and I got my CS: Darth Maul today!!!

 

Well my Tyranus lightsabre arrived yesterday, and my ROTJ Luke sabre arrived today, so I'm happy.

I love them, so much detail and they have a good weight to them. It's a pity they're small, but at least they're only a fraction of the price. It gives me a good idea what a full scale one would be like, not that I could ever afford one... but it's so tempting to try.

 

Ha...there smalled because they are .45 scale.

It's not really a pity they are small. It's just a pity that the full scale ones are so damn expensive...

I love the .45

 

I finally ordered the ROTJ Luke.

I'm pretty excitied that I had to post it. (it's my favorite saber)

 

I don't know how this thread became me talking to me...Most likely because nothing new has been released yet...But I can't help but posting this...

I finally got my Luke ROTJ in and it's amazing by far my favorite now that I've seen it in person...it looks great next to my ANH Luke saber. I thought Dooku's was great but this one IMO tops that.

And today I just ordered Vader's ANH one...which looks amazing in pictures. I'm sure it will look just as good in person.

Where have all my fellow .45 collectors go? You guys get me hooked on these things then ditch me?

 

I like the ROTJ Luke very much as well, but hey I upgraded to LE edition (Yoda) and this thread has gone beneath me now!!
Besides I have got enough sabers now, and I have to tell you I take a look at them (and hold them off course) every day. I gave the ANH Vader as a present with a few friends to a friend who raved about it all night, very cool to see someone just as happy with it as we guys do!!

Long life lightsabers!

 

They have LE .45 sabers???

 

No they don't, but I was talking about a full scale one! I did it and bought one.........
Very cool by the way, but the mini's do still have their own charme. I can't explain why, but they have something cool over them that the full scales don't have. But the full scales are special in the way that they got more of the feeling that they are REAL lightsabers.

 

True but they always have more of the feeling of being unbelievably expensive as well.

 

I want to pick up the Maul .45 but I found a site offering the Collectors Society exclusive full .45 saber for just under 60.00 bucks...

I was wondering which one should I get? The full one is rather tempting...
