Just got my first .45 saber today. I pre-ordered the Luke ANH a few weeks ago. While waiting for it to ship, I decided to purchase the Luke ROTJ just to see if I would like the mini series. Until I saw jlee562's Mace comparison pic in this forum, I had no idea how small these things really were. Maybe these pics will help others visualize the scale.

These things are a lot smaller than you think, but the detail is amazing. This afternoon I ordered the Vader ANH and Tyranus, to go along along with my Luke ANH which should be here soon.
-
Thank you!
I've been wondering how small those things were for a while now. Still, they look great. I indeed MUST possess them!
-
The detail really is amazing. You know the design on the Anakin ROTS controlbox, the detail on that is so awesome.
-
these are definately growing on me...
I would like to get the Sith ones first - I have Tyranus, would like Sidious, Vader and Mauls....
but will only get them at discounted prices..wont pay full price for them...

Sweet pics

Wow, that Anakin LE is skinny!

Yeah a lot skinnier than the FX. There are more comparaison pics with LE and FX here http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=2505.60
-
I like that Anakin mini... will probably end up getting it sometime later. I'm trying to keep my mini collection limited to OT, but since I just ordered the Tyranus I see that plan is shot.
-
dark skywalker the anakin rots look really nice,

great pics!! thanks agian

hi folks
on the saber vault pages, it says that these are limited to 5000 units worldwide, surely this is not correct. can anyone with these minis confirm this?
-
Very nice pics..
Does anyone had the idea of making a laser pointer with mini saber hilts?
-
Pics of my Luke and Vader ANH sabers as promised from another thread. Sorry about the quality, but you get the general idea.

I wonder why MR didn't make the mini stands so they all face the same way?
-
I wonder why MR didn't make the mini stands so they all face the same way?
They probably do he just installed the parts backwards. 8) I'm assuming since they look like the FX stands they are just little versions and work the same way. :)
-
nope... the stands are installed correctly, they are made where the supports only go in one way. I'm guessing they made the Luke ANH face opposite so you could view the control box while it's in the stand. I wish the Vader ANH's stand was left facing for this same reason. With a dremel and a little glue this may become a reality.

You guys should visit my thread...SR tags if you whant. :) :) 8)

GREAT PICS
-
Thanks Kit... could you tell I've upgraded from a camera phone to a digital camera over the weekend? ;)
-
You have a nice collection there, Snowballz. :) I'm so going to get that Luke ANH. It looks a bit larger than the others.
About the stands... I couldn't get the plastic things out of my stand that came with the Vader ROTS... I didn't use full force, but I didn't want to break it. Do they come out pretty easily?
-
Yeah they should come out pretty easily. At least my Anakin ROTS one does.
-
Really really cool pictures in this thread.
It's making me think about gathering a few more minis myself, they are very well built and detailed.
-
Another comparison pic of the Luke ANH mini. Actually, I just wanted to show off my two favorite sabers.

This is really unexpected... cause I'm starting to actually CONSIDER getting minis instead of waiting for the CE's. Once I decide to go for the minis... there will not be any turning back...
When you compare the Mini to the LE... is there anything lacking? How is the plating compared to the LE? Are the details accurate?
-
The details are totally accurate. Besides the size difference I would say there is no difference at all.

I should tell you, the 1:1 saber in my pics is a Parks Graflex replica, not a true Graflex or MR, but it is still just as sweet.
I'm still searching for the best price for a screen accurate d-ring and bubble strip.
Also, I have a BestBuy exclusive dark chrome Sidious saber since my last pic post. It it up for trade, PM if interested.

I have a question is gold box in anakin mini and anakin 1:1 the same? mayby somebody can take a picture

Most don't/can't tell the difference between a mint Graflex and a Parks. I wouldn't be suprised if you didn't even know.
www.tfxstudios.com isn't cheap enough? $6.95 for each. :)

Awsome The ROTJ Mini Looks Very Cool Very Detailed Also

You are only missing 3! :o ;D
-
Nice collection Snowballs :)
-
Great collection Snoballz!! ;D
I'm still missing five...
Vader ROTS, Sidious, battle damaged Maul, Luke ESB and Vader ESB...
By the way, I see you have the full Maul... I got mine about two months ago... and... I noticed that the three central rubber bands are getting porous (is "porous" the correct word? sorry, I'm a spanish speaker :P). I fear that these rubber bands could break off soon... do you have the same problem? does the half-Maul have the same problem? :(

the o-ring on my battle damaged Maul mini is beginning to show some signs of wear, the three on the full mini are still perfect. The o-rings have been known to degrade on the Maul LE also. Nothing to worry about, just pick up a new pack of them in the plumbing section of any hardware store.

O ring, what is that?

Oh, i see ;)
Its a shame that they are weraing though :'(
-
nice pictures snowballz. what does the end of the damaged maul look like, did they put some detail in there or is just finished flat?
-
just a quick question for all those with more minis than me,
i've got the Obi-Wan weathered mini, is it worth getting the As-first-built-by???? are they good as a pair?
-
I think so, but have a look for yourself ;) :

thanks for the pics luke, i really want a full Obi-Wan collection like yours,
but i don't want to spend the silly money the Obi-Wan AOTC is going for on ebay!!!!
whats you fav Obi mini??
-
It is a fun set, all of the Obis. As for my favorite, I don't think I'd vote for the AFBB or the gold, and the ROTS is just a little too plastic-y in look. So between the AOTC and the ANH? I'd have to go with my OT bias and pick the ANH. The ANH weathered really was my favorite saber of all, until I was ruined by the Luke ROTJ that is. :D
-
I like all of the Obi's. Even though I'm an OT guy also, I'd have to say the AOTC is my favorite Obi-Wan mini. But that might just be because of all the xxx I went through to get it.
-
i know what you mean, i am sure that the Obi AOTC is worth the money but i have told myself that i am not going to spend more than £20 on a mini
-
I really think MR is going to solve the going ebay rate sooner or later. Be that a TPM Obi or a rerelease, having non-limited minis priced so high really does them no good, but rereleasing previously out of production ones are great for sales. :D
-
I really hope MR decides to make an Obi-Wan TPM mini instead of re-releasing the AOTC, as they did with the weathered Obi-Wan ANH and Luke ROTJ. If they do re-release the AOTC mini, MR will not get another cent from me.
That is until the Dooku Force FX is released. ;)
-
I understand the feeling Sno I got burned on the ANH weathered myself, but all the same I really like how MRs been trying to keep the mini prices down.
-
thanks for that snowballz i am impressed they did that with the FX and mini too.
-
I like that touch too, unless you think about it too much and wonder why the crystal is so low in the hilt. :D
