Incredibly done review as always, Anakin! Very descriptive. I have a very good idea of what to expect when I get this awesome looking saber.  ;)


Wow mine is not like that at all,its actually kind of stiff and you really got to push up the power button on mine..

Heh. Since when have any two Force FX sabers been the same?  ::)

Anakin, tell me...is the blade as blotch free as Kit's is? Did they solve that issue that seemed to plauge all the Anakin ROTS sabers?

Yours appears to be as blotch free as Kit's but I wanted to ask to make sure...if so, then MR hit one out of the park so to speak.  8)

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... ::)

Yes, the new diffuser(same as Maul) is a lot better about making the seperate LED blend in together.  When I compare the Obi to the Anakin....the Obi looks like its just a REALLY BRIGHT EL blade because its so constant a shade of blue.

May The Force FX Be With You!

Man, that's awesome!!! ;D

I just got an e-mail from the people I pre-ordered from. It is in stock ready to ship, so all I have to do is send them the remaining balance and I will have mine in a week or so.  8)

Just sent them the remaining balance, they should be receiving it by Tuesday, and I should be getting my saber by next Saturday...Monday at the latest.

I will do my own review when I get it.  8)

great review Anakin!
love the gold finish ..looks very cool
fact that its all metallic is also very promising- looks like they fixed the mistakes they made with the luke ROTJ on this Obi-Wan blade! :)

Do you know if the metallic finish will rub off?  This saber looks great, even better than the LE I think regardless of "accuracy."

The only part of the finish that I would be concerned with would be the gold plated part. I plan on putting clear scotch tape over mine to make sure I don't wear off the gold plating. Or, I might even tape it off and spray some clear coat over it instead.

awesome review as always anakin.

i really like the emitter detail, nice to see a good view of it.

i am aching for this new FX now, i might be able to wait and see if the price drops a bit they are £90 here in most online shops.  the maul dropped in price almost immediately.
