Title: FS: Makototsai double-bladed 12-color RGB lightsaber w/sound SOLD
Post by: OBI-WAN KENOBI on April 15, 2010, 08:02:15 PM
For sale: 12-color dual RGB sabers, each with a SuperOne 1.0 sound board - made by Makoto.  Each hilt has 12 colors, and both can be connected and disconnected on the fly!  This is an amazing saber staff, and a killer dual wielding pair of sabers.  The hilt design was somewhat customized per my request, as I had requested a simple emitter and hilt that would be ideal for spinning.  These sabers are, therefore, very comfortable to hold and handle extremely well.  Each hilt is about 11.5" in length.     SOLD ON EBAY

Each color is SUPER bright, and the sound board has two different power up and power down modes: Jedi and Sith (no scrolling effect on RGB sabers, though).  Each saber is very loud, but you lose a little volume when the two sabers are connected. 

Here are the 12 colors:


CYAN: (one of my faves)

Beautiful saber(s). All I need is a $900 discount and I'll take 'em. Seriously though, I'm jealous of their future owner.

Interesting. My plan is to have one made just like it. But since this thread is here...

Please check your inbox, Mr. Kenobi. I just sent you a PM. Thanks. ^_^

Those really are the most functionally perfect pair of sabers I've seen yet, and WELL worth the price.  Good luck with the sale!

Here's a short vid of the sabers.  The start up sound is actually very Luke ROTJ and is very cool.  The second saber you'll see is set on the other sound mode so you can hear the difference:

Wow, that's just awesome!

The sound issue on his saberstaves would likely be fixed with some simple porting.  I have a red one and I plan to address this.  I will link to the vis in a post here if I can find this thread at that time.

$900 for a general use sound included pair/saberstaff in any color you can think of for a particular event....Yeah, I would definately consider that were I not so obsessed with red.

Great looking saber!

Makotos hilts are easy to handle and spin as well by the way.

Thanks,

You just PM him here on the forum - http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1829   ;)

I would like to add that it took months to get this bad boy made - so a staff like this is not something you can readily purchase from Makoto.  So be prepared to wait!

You do know there are actually two shades of red on this one, right?  Something to consider.  ;) :D

Btw, the color-changing RGB blades are the brightest blades Makoto offers currently, if I'm not mistaken.  I'd say they're about equal in brightness to his single color V3 Plus blades.

Btw, just to clarify for everyone, there are no sound issues on these particular sabers.  They're just not as super loud when connected as when their single.

Sorry for my choice of words.

No "issue".   it is (like mine is) just as he says.  I plan on making a couple holes in one of mine, then it will be louder as a saberstaff.  No need for both as the sound from both will go out those "ports" or holes.

On the 2 reds, if I did not have a pair of JQs on order, looking for CFs soonish, and several others in the works....(Picking up my Dooku I hope tomorrow as well.)  LOL

I have FBd this one as it's super cool.  GL with the sale and I hope it crosses my path at a con, I'd love to play with it in person.

It's totally worth the $900.  Were I not buying so much so soon right now...

Thanks everyone.

Bump for the coolest saberstaff in the world!!!   8)

Btw, although I never did so myself, Makoto had said these sabers are fully duel-worthy.  The RGB blades he uses are very thick, tough, and durable.  If you've seen some of his duel vids, you know just how tough these sabers are.

Every day I try to convince myself that I can afford to spend $900 on this pair of sabers, to no avail.  I'm shocked they haven't sold yet.  Good luck with moving them!

Thanks Pax.  :)

Speaking of moving, these sabers have now actually been moved to eBay, where they will be selling from the looks of it.  Good luck again to that bidder.  ;)
