In all the Yoda FX excitement I posted this quick look at the Ani and Yoda LEs' sizes.

While the announcement may have delayed the shots of my newest addition, expect pics of it soon enough. ;)

Wow! That's more impressive than my Mini/FX collection. If I didn't own a car, house and land, I would be looking at collecting like you, Master Luke.

Once again....Wow. ;D

It's been a long time since I've updated this thread.  So long in fact that I neglected a very important update.  One of my absolute favorite sabers has now finally come home to my collection.



Luke's saber from ANH might have been our first experience with a lightsaber, but from my childhood, there was no more clear a memory of what a n actual saber looked like as the one stuck in the snow, just out of reach, in that cave on Hoth. ;D

Yeah! finally master Luke, but the question remains.... why didnt you get this one earlier.

gotta say, i just got a graflex ANH/ESB kit from Yoda, and man, those hilts i just love, in fact ANH luke is my favorite hilt, and then ESB, and then all the rest!

Congrats on your new addition, your collection is AWESOME!!

I completely agree, R2, it really is amazing to think about how late in the game I picked up the ESB LE.  I'd been looking for one for a very long time, but it was one of those things where I'd make a big purchase just before a saw a good deal for one.  However little while ago I happened to find an amazing deal (courtesy of the RS ebay watch thread) which surpassed any I'd seen previous or since, so it ended up being worth the wait. ;)

Thanks, R2, I'm really thrilled to have it.

The thread I was referring to was the All Things Ebay - Good BIN Deals thread.  All Buy it Now items with lots of great deals and seller comments/review, an excellent source.

Good to see your collection still expanding Luke.  After getting a Dooku LE for $275 shipped from a member of the RPF, I've come to the conclusion that boards like the RPF and Rebelscum are a good resource for getting good deals.

This latest addition has been a long time coming.  Is it a prototype a the new LE?
(As always in my threads, click the thumb for full-sized pics.)



Actually, it's just my new Oz Luke ROTJ V2 saber in an old Milhouse case.



I do love the detailing, as you can see here especially well on the emitter.



Some more detail from the other side.



A quick comparison with the good old EE.



And then back in the case for safe keeping.


I'm really thrilled with the V2 Oz did for me, which is a great way to cap off my Luke collection.  It stands now quite complete with a graflex AHN, ANH EE, ESB LE, ESB cutaway, ROTJ EE and now the Oz V2.

And if anyone is curious about what's coming next, you can sneak a peek at my "workbench" area. ;)

Was this one mint? I remember I showed you a used one on ebay a while back and I was just curious. Congrats on the ESB ;D

Also congrats on that Luke V2, it looks sweet! :o
