Orbital Machining Obi-Wan Kenobi
Artist's Proof
A quick quote by Wat himself: "It is the Artist's Proof (serial number AP) which I joked about being more collectible than #1"

Hey Guys,
this is my short review of the OM Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber.
Wat sold me this beautiful this several months ago.
I asked him, if he had any plans in doing another Obi run.
He said no, but he wanted to downsize his personal collection so he offered me this one. ^-^
I was very lucky to purchase one of the most rare sabers in this community.
Let's start
The saber came in two packages:
One with the hilt, stand etc. which was sent by Fedex

And the other one with the blades which was sent per USPS

The extra costs were higher than expected :-\
About 600$ only for shipping and taxes :(
The hilt in case with the charger, stand, plaque, picture CD and vented pommel
