GRAFLEX-FX-SABERS "The LIST & PRICES" 2008

[Darth Matth]

I still have a question about the collectors kit.

You get 2 sabers at ones ( Bottoms though), but with the CF boards all the buttons are in use, so how do you switch from the glas eye to the red button, when you chenges from ANH to ESB?

Or do I have to choose that button perminently?
If so, I really like the ESB saber the most because of all the details in it and it is louder, but I like the glas eye from the ANH version the most.

An ESB with glass eye???

Or does Yoda have a solution for that too?

Or can I only choose for one saber when I stick to CF?

I ordered a ESB but I'm thinking of the Collectors-Kit.

Matth you and I are on the same page.  There is a glass eye on one of the ESB versions I think Dagobah, and I prefer that better.  OF course mine is using a STEVE so no aux button.  I am not sure what Yoda does for ANH CF, but there are two options.  1. He puts a very small switch on the end of the clamp, (hardly noticable) and 2. He uses the slide switch to the left of the red button, (more difficult but more accurate IMO).

I am pretty sure he puts it on the clamp but I can't remember.   I say if you really want this set send it out to one of the sabersmiths to mod for you.  Yoda coudl easily hook you up on an aux switch mod if he has the time.

[Darth Matth]

Okay,... the glass eye is not to use as a button.
That I didn't knew.
Also I didn't knew there was a moment in ESB there was a glass eye on that saber.
There is much I don't know, I see.

That's to bad, Iff the glass eye was functional and knowing 'it's legal' on a ESB, my choice was easy.
One saber to have it all.

There is alway's something, ha.

Yoda,... can you make a real Vader ANH too, like how you make a Luke ESB from a Graflex?
Do we already know what parts they used for the Vader ANH saber?
It would be a nice add to the Graflex.

I first thought of converting my MR Vader ANH, but it is not at the right scale, and not as heavy and detailed as the real thing, so we need you for that.

(For the scale, I found out to compare the MR Mini's to eachother, and the Vader ANH is smaller than the Luke ESB (which I think is the same size as the Anakin), but when I compare the Anakin ROTS to the Vader ANH Force FX's the Anakin is smaller than the Vader.
For the weight, I Also had a Vader EL in my hands and those are much heaviër than the hilt of my Vader Force FX.
It was a bit of a long way comparison, but I think it works.)

I believe what you want for the vader is called an MPP.  Similar flash type like the graflex.  For more detailed info go to partsofsw.com  they list parts used and also variations.  There are some discrepancies and controversies to their info but I think most of it is pretty accurate as they use many screen shots to back of their claims.

George never thought of Hi Def and widescreen tvs in our homes.  Heck in 77 no one even had VCRs.  He was less than accurate in his use of props.  For ESB there was 2 buttons, glass eye red button, and red button empty hole where glass eye goes.  Most people take the two red buttons as canon and George I believe does as well but technically they are all official.
I believe the vader uses what's called an MPP flash similar to a graflex.

[Darth Matth]

Thank you.

I think there is not much asking for the Vader ANH, so Yoda isn't making those.
It would have been a perfect match.

[Luke S.]

Here's a start for you.  I am sure you could get someone to do the finish up work for you if you really wanted.  Yoda, Do-Clo etc we have lots of great sabersmiths.  IT's just a matter of finding one willing to take it on that also has the time.

I saw the Saberkit at Parks.
For the price of less than two saberhilts you get three of them.
The Graflex Luke ESB.
The MPP Vader ANH.
The Obi-Wan ROTS.
The MPP even had the coiled emiter on it.

Is the Parks-MPP emiter to small for the 1"blade?
Otherwise Yoda can easily put the electronics in the MPP instead of the Graflex and make a Vader ANH of it.
In that case I can be set on the list as a Graflex ESB And MPP Vader ANH.
Both with a CF4 board after Heloween that is, and Both with a Crystal chamber. (The Vader ANH with a RED one. WOW!!)

Yada,... is it possible to change my 'Undecided' into the above?

[krig]

Hi..
Im new to this forum, and I have a Graflex 3 cell..
can I get it converted to an Luke ANH with crystal chamber, lights & sounds..?

please let me know.

I've been wondering what to do with my Graflex, and this seems like an good idea  ;D

[krig]

is it still possible to get signed up for Graflex conversion?

[Darth Matth]

You have to send Yoda a Personal Mesage for it.
It's on the left side, below someone's Avatar and Lyrics, next to the Profile and e-mail button.
Read the first page of this topic very good and tell him what you want.
He will put you on the list, but it can take a wile.
They are extremely bussy right now, because of the new coming Ultra-cards I've heart, and Yoda is  making a set of lightsabers for the eBay sell.
I know about the Negotiator (Obi Wan AOTC), but all the time he sold the Ambasador (Qui-Gon-Jinn TFM) and the Graflex all the same time.
Once he have put you on the list, it still takes about more than a year, before it's your turn.
I'm on the 10e place and look at the date I was put on it.

You can bid on the eBay selling, only you pay a few hundred more for it.

Good luck.



Darth Matth.

Thanks for the reply  :)
I have already PM'ed Yoda (I geuss he's really busy, and thats understandable)

I will wait untill he answers my PM
A year you say, I will have some time start saving up lol  ;D


Thanks

[Darth Matth]

You know your way around here?
If not, you can always PM a moderator.
You can recognise tham on their name, their names are in KAPITAL letters.
I know Darth Tyranus is very bussy too, so I would leave him be for a while also.
But there are a lot more of them around here, and they are all very friendly.

Good luck, and we're glad you've joined us.

[krig]

Starting to know it by now.

so I can PM any Moderator, and get signed up for a graflex conversion?

thanks for helping out  ;D

[Darth Matth]

Ohhh no, sorry, my mistake, it's only for things you want to know or help when other members like me can't help you..
Not for the Graflex, because thats a Yoda special.

I wrote this because I saw your reply not answered, and you asked twice, so I thought to help you out.a bit.
And if you need more help with other questions, well, see the above writing.
