You'll have to be patient with the pics as I am a pilot and currently on the road for the week. Wouldn't you know the toys come on my last day home with no time to play. The Graflex did get gutted but that's all I had time to do. I was going to bring it with me but I didn't want some overzelous TSA agent to comfiscate it as a replica weapon. I can see it now. Could you please tell me where I can purchase an actual lightsaber????? The don't do much thinking at security checkpoints. I can only imagine.
As for the Ani when I took it out of the box and played with it, it looked awesome, I can't imagine putting in a Lux. I think I may leave it as is as I want to put all $ into the Graflex ESB. I may even put it back on Ebay if the Graf turns out good.As for the Ani review it rapidly went down hill as I opened the vintage Graflex. In my opinion there is just no comparsion. This is just my opinion but if I was on the fence about spending the cash for one of Yoda's goodies after seeing this Graflex I would be PMing him right away. The Graf is spectacular I can't wait to get into the conversion. I can't imagine it would be great for dueling nor with the Ani as the Graflex clamp is in the way. I think if I wanted to do some serious dueling I would go to TCSS and get one of theirs. Overall I am pleased with the Ani it's just dim in the shadow of the Graf. The Graf even in its present state is remarkable. I find myself just sitting and staring at it. Now I really can't wait for Ultra's board!!!!!!!! Seriously!!!!!!!
