Graflex V SE w/ Hoth Wampa Cave stand!!! *small update*
« on: April 20, 2009, 07:03:37 PM »
I just received my first ever Graflex from our very own Yoda, and what a package it is! ;D

This is an ESB Graflex Special Edition. It's running a Lux V blue with an Ultrasound 2.0. The "special edition", of course, means it has the stunningly upgraded crystal chamber. This saber is everything I could have hoped for in a replica. No detail was spared, and everywhere you look it's quality!

So lets get to some pics eh? 8) Now you'll have to forgive the quality of these pictures as I had to take these under fluorescent light. I plan on taking better pictures later in some nice natural light. Anyway....

You've all by now seen a Graflex yes? ;)


A relatively small, but one of my favorite features: the emitter plug. Just beautiful!


Also the truly impressive SE crystal chamber:



BUT! What you probably haven't seen is the new Hoth display!  8)


This is HANDS DOWN the coolest way to display a saber I've seen yet. Period. Pictures not only don't do the saber justice, it comes nowhere close to doing the stand justice. It really is a detailed work of art!





I don't know the exact process that went into the stand, but the results are incredible! Like I said I plan on taking more and better pics later. ;)

One really can't appreciate how exquisite these sabers are unless you've held one. Those that own one of Yodas masterpieces can agree I'm sure.
Basically, this is, and will always be, the crown jewel of my saber collection.

Yoda, hats off to you sir. I can't thank you enough for the hard work and attention to detail that goes into these beauties! It's everything I expected and more!  :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to hang myself upside down from the ceiling, roll my eyes into the back of my head, and see if I can't get this saber to fly into my hand! :D

**UPDATE**A few better pics!





 ;D ;D

Congrats on landing that beauty, Shade. 

I still can't get over that icy Hoth display.  It's probably the coolest display I've ever seen (pardon the pun).  Truly ingenius, Yoda. 

The saber is nice too.  ;D

I agree with Obi-Wan. That display stand is awesome! Heck, I'd cut off a wampa's arm just to get one!  :D
Another masterpiece by Master Yoda.  8)

Congrats on the great snag, Shadeslinger!

Two very beautiful pieces there. Never seen a stand quite like that and nobody can compare to yoda's crystal chassis graflexs :)

Shadeslinger- Thanks for the review. If you guys want to see the inner chassis up close, It is in the 360 tour for the Special Edition Chassis LE in The Graflex Armory...

Very nice pics up there Shade. I expect we will be seeing more awesome items like this coming soon... ;) Thanks for posting a review!
