Still I'd rather have seen it with AAs instead of the AAAs.

It does take AAs. ;)

What a beautiful saber, I can't wait until mine arrives.  I don't know whether to be thrilled that MR has finally made a saber that I couldn't be happier with, or really depressed that the Luke ESB and other sabers will never be made from this new Graflex base.  I might have to pick up a couple of these.

That's good news! :D  I have a question, is it an easy saber to spin around and duel with?

Well, if you've ever handled an Anakin ROTS, you pretty much know the story with this one. In my limited experience, it's easier than with a Vader, but not as easy as with a Luke ROTJ or Obi-Wan ROTS.

Ha! I was right, it's the same size as the Anakin ROTS. And that's really awesome that they went with the Obi-Wan Blue blade on this.

Crap...this may just be the one FX that I do end up getting after all even though I said that I was through with them. If for no other reason than to give the Anakin a companion, lol.

But that will have to wait for later, lol.

2010...I certainly hope it's better than 2009 was! ::)
10/10/10~Well, so far with my Father's passing away, I'd say that this year was actually worse than 2009, even the fact that I now have a full time job (For now) isn't anywhere near enough to make up for that...so...maybe 2011 will be better? I'm not holding my breath... ::)

I had a feeling those of us who guessed it was the same size as the Anakin ROTS were right.  Bryan was obviously mis-informed about it being the same size as the Luke ESB. 

I agree that it is cool they went with the Obi-Wan blade.

I wish I could get this but I doubt it will be for a few months.

I'm glad it's not an ESB rehash. But the bunny ears just don't look right for some reason. Too flat maybe? Too tall?

Great review!

That has reinforced my decision to add this to my collection.
Perfect or not, this iconic saber brings back memories of desperately wishing to hold one of these weapons. Now, finally, the dream can come true!!
