    Do not buy them from retail outlets. They will be severely over priced. Ebay prices are equally bad.

    Your best bet is to buy them directly from MR.

    http://masterreplicas.com/customer/starwars/starwars_product_list.php?cid=9

    $120 is a good price. They also sometimes have sales and you can get them even cheaper.

    I have found Mace's saber (purple) at Borders for the same price as the Master Replicas website.

    As for green (Luke's) that is discontinued and no longer avaialbe from MR. Good luck on that one, I haven't seen them since they went off of MR site.

    They are increasingly difficult to find. There was an MR factory seconds shop around that used to sell refurbed sabers but I think they have gone away.

    HeroHQ in Buffalo Grave had them for around $150. I don't know if they have any left though.

    Yep, Buffalo Grove, IL. The store is called HeroHq, its on McHenry in the same plaza as Buffalo Grove Theaters. They also have a ton of other Star Wars collectables oh, and don't forget comic books.

    Why would you spend $150 to a scalper when you can them from the official site or Border's for cheaper?

    Hey whats everyone, i found a Mace Windu, and a blue Luke Skywalker F/X Lightsaber at Borders, it seems they are the only ones in the area besides the overpriced collectible shops that might have them in stock. I know Meijer carried them, and im pretty sure none of the Meijer's might have any left, they said they sent them back to Master Replica.Now i have my LightSaber anyone wanna duel with me at C3?

    Screw getting them at walk-in places. Word to the wise...and a little known secret...Walmart.com and various other major dept. store websites sell them (along with many other high end collectibles). They don't have to be at the actual store for retailers to carry them online. The only reason Master Replicas is constantly selling out so quickly is because of these damn major retailers buying so many of them and then not letting anyone know they even sell them so they end up sitting in their warehouses!

    I've seen Mace's at Border's a few times (I think that was already mentioned), but I always see them at the Wizard World Convention in Rosemont every year. Pretty much 60% of the vendors are selling htem at varying prices.

    When it comes our way in August I'd check it out... if you can wait that long. lol

    I went to ebay for mine. BigTime Comics sells them at 'Buy it now' price of $90.00 plus s/h. My shipping was $8.93, so it really depends. After tax at Borders, it would be about $108ish. You still save, but it's a buyer's market...

    I couldn't believe it but the Best Buy in Orland Park had a stack of Blue Luke Empire Force FX's. If Best Buy starts to carry Master Replica's Force Fx's that would be the S#!+.

    I just found out that Borders and other outlet stores are only selling them at $99.99 for a short time. They will go back to MR pricing soon. So if you can, get them now and save.
