This is the original Graflex V I purchased in a set from Yoda via Ebay long ago.
This saber has had a few soundboards in it. Most notably it held the prototype CF 4.0 install set up.
That review was the first review I ever posted on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNwTTFHnp1Q (yeah, yeah same table.)
Table top time???

The crystal chamber has 4 Leds and fiber optics throughout.

I only installed the CF and set up the fonts to my preferences.
The chassis and hilt construction are all Master Yoda's work.

Specs
CF 4.31
2x li-ion 14500 cells
TCSS premium speaker
Lux V bin 4 main Led
4 accent leds in crystal chamber 2 white, 2 blue
UltraEdge blade

Soundfonts
Novastar ~ Resblade, Starkiller, Rainsizzle, Episode V remastered
Madcow ~ Hero, Bespin
Avvatar ~ Boot sounds (CD soon!)

After thinking of what to say about this saber, I can only say one thing...

Words cannot describe this saber.

HAHAHAHAHA that was exactly where I was looking for too. :D :D :D
The thing is, that he will only sell this when he has at least 2 of them, I'm sure.
You don't selll a Graflex unless you have more than one.

Even when you dont like the model as much as others like Obi TFM for instance, you still not sell it cause this saber is SPECIAL.

Awesome saber. 8) I envision that's why mine'll look like...only a different blade color.
Are you planning on getting (or do you already have) an ANH one?

I have an ESB Graflex from Yoda with a non drilled crystal chamber in it.
Also not a Vintage, but still an amazing beauty.
I did not choose a Vintage;
1- Because I thought a graflex would be more sturdy for dualling, but I never really dual with this saber afterall because it's too expensive and I'm affraid to damage it.
2-Because my family would not understand why I would have payed so much for an old weathered saber, if ye know what I mean.
They really wont, and probably would have hanged me.
We understand that just that, will make it seem like the real one, but hey,...

Still, I always wonder if the feel and weight of a Graflex vs a Vintage will be exactly the same.

"You don't sell a Graflex."   - Fixt it for ya


Jango that saber keeps getting better.  Awesome upgrade with the drilled crystal chassis ( I so needs to get me one of those... ).
Also glad to hear those boots working good in the field.  I should have a "Bespin" package to send your way by months end.  ;) :D

I have a Vintage Graflex ANH with US 2.5, Lux V Cyan bin 1
I was sure I had made a review, but I guess not.
Guess I'll make it tonight!  ;D

There is no difference.  The only difference is, one looks new and the other has some scratches, plating missing etc.  If you close your eyes you would never know which is which.

I have to disagree. The Vintage has a little more heft to it (the nickel-plated brass is heavier than aluminum) and the lettering on the pommel is slightly different as well. A true fan must own the Vintage. ;)

@ Jango:
Awesome. 8) Can't wait to see the review. ;D
