*Official* Scaled .45 replicas MR Thread

I just got my ANh Obi-Wan today it is awesome looking...I love it. It almost beats out my top favorite the ANH Vader.

I just picked up the battle damaged Maul from The Saber vault...first tiem I've bought from them but I hear nothing but good things on the boards.

They had the best price...Other places were charging $40 not including shipping!!!...I got it for only $36 with tax and shipping.



I am hopping they will release a ROTJ Vader sometime...

 

so you did get the BD version and not the full?

 

Yea, I got the battle damaged first...But I'm planning on getting both.

 

The ANH Obi looks MUUUUUUUUUUCH better in person than any picture taken of it, am I wrong?

 

So the Darth Maul BD I ordered turns out there was an error and JD does not have it in stock.

Man does this suck.

 

that sucks.....JD is usually pretty good on that stuff.

 

I know!!!...I just got to choose another saber of my choice and I told him just me the ROTS Obi-Wan...since I wanted that one too.

I'll hafta get the Maul later on...

 

obi looks nice...

 

Then I suppose that's good then.

I want both Maul's tho...

 

Ya know, I'm not much for the prequels, but after looking at the Ep III Obi, I'm thinking I may need to find a way to snag the full size one.

 

It is awesome looking no doubt...if I had the money I'd get the full size version...

 

I believe the mini ANH and the full ROTS, would look nice side by each.

 

I wish they made a full Obi ANH one...that would be amazing.

 

they made 2 versions of it. the "as first built" and "weathered"

Oh snap! They did!!!...

I wonder how hard it is to come by nowadays!?

 

ebay is your friend...

 

Well I suppose your right...I just don't want top spend an insane amount on it.

 

Well, I have to say I was a collector of these, had 10 at one point, including all the Obi-Wan's except the ROTS gold and C3 ROTS variant, but I've gotten more into collecting full-size sabers. I'm thinking of only keeping the Obi-Wan ROTS and pairing it with my full-size ANH weathered.

Also, I'm dissappointed how the gold variants have lost their demand, I was thrilled to have a Ep4 Vader gold turn up the day I found it but now that I'm ready to let go of it I can barely get what I paid.

 

I wish I could afford to $300 and some on a collectible, but I promised myself the most I would ever spend on one piece would be $200.

Maybe if I had a better paying job where $350 is chump change until then....minis are just fine with me. Plus they take up less room, which allows me to get more statues.

 

Actually, I used the Vader FX and the blade removal process for my Vader (less than $45 total by buying one with a damaged blade) and my Obi-Wan is an fan-made one from a few years back for just over $110. It's not 100% accurate but for that much less than an MR Obi-Wan ANH weathered I'm ok with that. I used to have the MR and, IMO, the extra money wasn't worth it for the minor differences like the tiny holes in the emitter and the fins inside the vane...

 

Well now they have some LE sabers at about $280...But the new CE sabers like the Qui_Gon are going for about $170.

This is good if you want a full size saber for decent price...If they release a ROTJ Luke or ANH Obi CE I'm going to need to be all over that...

Anyway: When is the Qui-Gon .45 suppose to be released?

 

I'd guess that the Qui-Gon will probably go on presale late in the summer, about the time that the first round of blasters ship. Either that, or MR will sit on their hands and wait until closer to Christmas in hopes of gathering more sales. We'll probably see the ROTJ Vader then too. But as I said, that's just a guess.

 

I want a .45 ROTJ Vader..I wonder if we will ever get one?

 

Dammit, the Obi 'as first built' is a serious beauty.

Nicest one ever made, IMO.

 

well since they showed a full size at SDCC we should be getting one.
