I had the Hasbro, too! I recently gave it and my other Hasbros to my fianceƩ's little cousins.
Anyways, to elaborate on my previos post, I got the "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones" book when I was like 10 or so, and that was the first time I saw a pic of the Vader ROTJ. Even then, as a little kid, I was like, WTF!?!? did Vader do that on purpose??? I dunno, I just always thought it looked like they just rushed a saber for him and couldn't think of anything better than a spare Graflex they found on the ground, off in a corner of the prop shop, all covered in dirt, grime, and rat poodoo, and said "thattl work, slap some black xxx on it and let's go to the pub". Later I find out that my theory wasn't so far from the truth....hmm.
As a huge Graflex fan, I do somehow like the fact that it IS an actual Graflex, bastardized or not, and that it harkens back to his Skywalker saber, so I've learned to like it a little, despite it's superficial "blah" factor...
If I get the CE, it'll definately become a cut-away...and I've been working on plans for a cutaway the likes of which have never been seen!!! Bwah, ha, ha!!! :o Now to finance it... :P ::)
