SaberConcepts and Vader's Vault Qui TPM run!!
« on: August 12, 2011, 04:52:22 PM »
Hello there Saber fans!! ;D

The SaberConcepts accurate Qui TPM Lightsaber!

SaberConcepts in collaboration with Vader’s Vault is proud to finally announce the Limited Edition run for the first accurate, functional Qui TPM lightsaber!

With the re-release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace it is the perfect time for a fully functional accurate Qui Gon Jinn lightsaber. The perfect companion collectible to the soon to be fabulous Orbital Machining Obi TPM saber.

You’ve all recently seen SaberConcepts’ prototype Qui a couple of months back, and it was a great spring board to this run, but wasn't quite accurate enough to please the discerning collector. Many companies have done versions of the Qui, and either it was too big, not ready for electronics (or both!), or it didn’t have the deep grip grooves. This is something that is important in a Qui Gon saber and is something that was imperative to implement in this run. After meeting with Wade and going over available blueprints, and with the generous Ki-Adi Mundi (Thanks man!!) lending us his precious MR LE Qui, we were able to get the final design to scale and are much more pleased with the design. We took every measurement we could, and compared them to existing blueprints and then applied them to the design that will become the definitive Qui TPM lightsaber!



For you select collectors out there, you will finally be able to own an accurate functional Qui Gon. These Limited Edition sabers will be offered with only the best electronics currently available to the industry: Plecter Labs Soundboards.

There will be limited slots available for both Petit Crouton and Crystal Focus versions of this saber.

15 10 slots for Petit Crouton and 15 20 slots for Crystal Focus V5.

 Crystal Focus versions will be equipped with LEDengin 10W RGGB’s or 10W GGGG’s set for FoC. Font packages for each saber are yet to be determined. The Petit Crouton versions will be equipped with LEDengin 5W green LEDs. All sabers will be offered with an exquisite wooden case, 1” dia. bullet tipped blade (up to 36”), and charger with port adapter.



The Saber will be machined from aluminum and the body, emitter, and pommel will be anodized in black. The shroud will be anodized clear as to give it that accurate finish from the film. The only concessions made from the screen design are the covertec wheel will be on center (that was a silly mistake on the prop maker’s part anyway), and the knurling on the red button which would not be cost effective to try and re-create. The red button will be functional, and will serve as the main activation button of the saber. The aux switch will be an extremely discrete tactile switch located directly opposite of the main switch.

Each hilt will be numbered individually: 1-30

Here is the final design for the ultimate Qui TPM lightsaber:



This much sought after and beloved character saber will be offered at:

$1,000.00 USD for the Petit Crouton Version

$1,500.00 USD  for the Crystal Focus V5 Version

Deposits required will be 50% of the price of the version you select

$500.00 USD for PC versions and $750.00 USD for the CF V versions


This is the official interest thread. It is first come first serve. Once you express your interest you will be contacted via PM for deposit arrangements. Once the deposit is paid your name will be added to the official list and your spot secured.
Machining has already commenced and this run is underway. We expect to have the Petit Crouton versions ready before Christmas 2011. Crystal Focus version sabers will not be ready until February/March 2012 as that is the expected time frame for the completion of the CF’s. We are quite excited to finally be able to bring to the community this awesome saber!

please put me down for a cf V5 version

Q, wher will the recharge port and killkey be located?

The recharge port is accessible by unscrewing the pommel. Since it is "screen accurate" that was the only way it could be done. ::)


May the force be with you all!

Remember... speak softly and carry a well constructed light saber! :)

Boy, I was just thinking the same thing, Scorpion.  Starkiller, MKVI, Madcow Bane, Corran Horn, Obi TPM, and this.  What a banner year for the hobby - such unprecedented works of art, all coming at the same time.
