My qui-gon is also on it's way.
I have the mini stormtrooper blaster and I rather like it.  I plan to get the Boba Blaster someday as well.  With MR's recent announcement that someday will probably be here sooner rather than later.

That's nice... just recently I used a 90MYR (26.50USD) deposit (from February 2006) for the Qui Gon Mini at the toy dealer in Malaysia. He'll call me when it arrives and after that I will have to add in another 210MYR (61.70USD). I'll post pictures when it arrives... now I'm pondering if I need a full maul mini even though I have the battle damaged one...

You should definitely get the Full Maul mini saber.  It's very cool, and hasn't been very expensive recently.
Title: Re: My Mini Qui-Gon On It's Way
Post by: PLO KOON on May 20, 2007, 11:29:00 AM
Yes, Ryanlb, in fact one of the forum members offered to sell me his UNOPENED full maul mini for 40USD which is a steal! But shipping costs and potential tax costs might make the price go even higher than what I get locally... and yeah, Leia is right...

THis is the last in my collection too, but my collection consists of one saber for each character, so 10 sabers altogether once I add this.

Post by: Kyp Durron on May 26, 2007, 10:14:16 AM
I just bought one off of Ebay...kinda pricy, but the way I see it is that this .45 will be about as sought after as the Obi-Wan TPM .45 is so it will pay for itself in the long run. ;)

Nice mini Qui-Gon there Ben. Still I haven't yet figured the people's enthusiasm toward these minis  ???.  Those are only size of candy, but perhaps many sees those as "cute" scale models. Please tell me people, what's so great about minis, since I own one but I dont like it  ::)

Post by: BEN KENOBI on May 27, 2007, 06:03:46 PM

     Chancellor the mini's are small and all;but;they are well built for a small saber.They are like a Le but a small one.I don't think they are for everyone and I don't plan on buying a lot of them but must admit they are cool for sure. ;D
Title: Re: My Mini Qui-Gon On It's Way
Post by: Kyp Durron on May 27, 2007, 06:08:25 PM
They are for those of us who either don't have a lot of room to display full size hilts, or don't have/want to spend that kind of money on a display piece that just sits there.

While they aren't for everyone, they do fill that niche quite nicely for people like me. ;)

Title: Re: My Mini Qui-Gon On It's Way
Post by: PLO KOON on May 27, 2007, 06:12:13 PM
which one do you have Chancellor?

i collect minis because the LE's are waaaay too expensive. The minis may be small, but they are very well detailed and are quite heavy for somthing small.
Title: Re: My Mini Qui-Gon On It's Way
Post by: BEN KENOBI on May 27, 2007, 06:18:23 PM
 ;D
    I think that the chancellor was wondering about how good these mini's are made since he does not have any.I know that I'm going to buy me a mini blaster so I can say that I have one lol ;D ;D

I own one mini, but I fear to keep it displayed anywhere since babies could choke onto that  :-\. Perhaps just some like em some dont. Like I know some who doesn't understand LE's, since they don't do anything like fx's, but those are 1:1 scale so you really see all the details really well as they are displayed in your shelf. When you would put one LE and one of the same as mini together, they might look cute, but all alone minis doesn't work on me. Anyhow, just wanted to know some opinions why you like these and I got my answers, not enough room and Le's prices are good reasons  ;D
Title: Re: My Mini Qui-Gon On It's Way
Post by: Kyp Durron on May 28, 2007, 06:34:46 AM
Not to mention that I think it's really cool that they are made with the same materials as the larger LE's and are every bit as detailed.

It's the ultimate collection for those of us who don't have the room/money for the 1:1 scale and the best part is, they look just as good because they are made just like the LE's with the same quality. 8)

And now that MR won't be doing Star Wars products, it's a safe bet that we'll never see anything like this ever again. :(

I checked the tracking info last night. The seller got the payment so now it's just a matter of time before I get mine.

I seriously think that this saber will be one of the most sought after and be as coveted as the Obi-Wan AOTC.

Ya, my Obi-Wan AOTC was pricey. $122.00 CAD and from Australia! That was last year in Jan, I believe.

Well, here's the pic of the Ultimate hilt, the Qui-Gon!



Still in the plastic as I have to remodel my room's lay out some time soon!

I agree, I think the price will jump on these shortly.  I dont think the guy who was selling the one I got knew what he had.  Or what is was worth.  He probibly collects one of MR other lines.  If I run into some other good deals all pass them off to you guys.   ;)

This is the one I have coming

On a side note...got my .33 Stormtrooper today in the mail. Wow is it nice! Best part is I got it for $20 shipped on Ebay (Won the auction for 7.50!!).

On the downside it really makes the Boba Fett scaled blaster look tiny!

Very hooked. I was obsessed at one point, in fact some I bought used at over $100. But the house changes everything......At least I don't have kids.

I don't think I do? ???
