Hasbro Obi-Wan TPM and Dooku ROTS FX Pictures With Video (On 1st page)

[Vosk]

Well I'm going to say screw it and get the Obi-Wan TPM FX saber on Monday from Redford.  I really want that saber...and hopefully in December I can pick up the Dooku saber.

Go for it, you won't be dissapointed, especially for $ 110. shipped. LOL

He's on this forum, search the name "Redford," and send him a PM. He's a nice guy :)

A year back or more ago, I shot him at least 2 messages at Ebay but zero answer but I guess he is not interested in international order. His deal was good on the 3 sabers set tho. Dunno if he still got those sales package.

Well I got both of mine last night. I kept being asked over and over about what I wanted for christmas so I let me mom do the pre-order for both. She gave them to me way early anyway obviously, but should have right after getting them. Why of course? The obi wan has about 4 inches of blade where the LEDs aren't coming on...and I'm out of the return period to redford  >:( Was just going to keep these both stock for my MR/HFX collection, but now I'm stuck with a partially broken one. Guess its getting converted anyways.  :-\

Other than that though I will say they did a pretty decent job on both. The dooku is definitely a fatty and heavy saber, but its not too huge for my fairly large hands. Nice styling overall and will have to learn some new style to even play with that one. The obi-wan is a pretty good size and really isn't that big. The sound was a little muffled as I've heard, but not horribly.

I'm sorry to here about the obi wan. If you can take it apart yourself, then you have a chance of fixing it without having ot convert it. My LUKE ANH had a section that flickered and it just needed the pin connector on the board pushed back on.

Overall the saber looks GREAT.   But it is just a little too big.  But I do understand that part having to fit all the electronics in there.  But, also they have made small so I don't see why they couldn't have done the same with this saber.

Ordered the Obi Wan from the Boys at Gemini, so I'm not sure what a stock saber is, BUT I'm in love with the saber, which is saying much, as it's not my favorite out there.

I like that it's not as girthy as expected - a feature that turns me off to the replicas in general due to my small hands.  It has a nice balance, and um, very shiny.

Not sure how helpful this post is, considering I never saw one stock, only converted, but as this is a Christmas present AND HE WON'T SHARE (yeah, I'm lookin' at you buddy! :D ), I'm now trying to justify buying another one for me.

[BIGGS DARKLIGHTER]

Caved in and ordered an Obi-Wan  ;)

Couldn't resist...cyber monday sale at Redford Films...

98.79 shipped isn't too bad  ;D

Speaking of which...they have both the Dooku and the Obi for that price after the 20% cyber monday and 5% member discounts. Should be good until midnight....

hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, need we say more?  ;)

If I bring one more lightsaber into the house I'll be in so much trouble!  :o

 :D :D

I'll have to say you buy what you want!!You've earned it.I'm half way done with your saber.It's coming along nice!! ;D

I've been out of the loop for a while on these, and so I have no idea if they ever at any point came out over here in the UK. Does anybody know if they did? I ask because I had them ordered with Forbidden Planet last Christmas and they kept getting postponed until eventually I cancelled my order. I asked one of the guys when I was in one of thier shops a few weeks ago and he said that he doesn't think they ever got them in.

When I go to the beach at Scheveningen, I shall check it out at the Acmé movie-store there.
Normally they have the FX-lightsabers, but I havent been there for over 2 years.             
Still, the Netherlands are not the UK, but it's nearby.       

[wallcrawler]

as far as i know its a no. Only people getting them from the US and selling them on.

I just recieved a Dooku from a seller on ebay who brought it over from the States. Got a very good price all things considered (£82 posted) and the saber is in fantastic condition. I'd say he'd only used it once or twice from looking at it. I am thrilled needless to say, as the Dooku was always my favourite from the PT.

I'm in desperate need of an Obi Wan TPM now though. That saber is beautiful. Maybe Hasbro will release them over here soon?

Just a random pic of my beloved Obi TPM with a few of my other sabers.  **Both Obi's in this pic are on low-power batteries which is why the Luke is brighter. Also, today I pulled the trigger on the Anakin removeable blade saber so my EP3 Obi will be on Ebay soon.  :-\
