To say that it's disappointing is and understatement.

Here's the album. http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b219/Nailbunny375/Starkiller%20MFX/iprops%20SK/
I'll be adding more pictures tomorrow

Wow those pics make that hilt look like poop.
I would expect much better quality considering the asking price.

hmmm...
I got one of those starkillers coming in. Looks awesome. He took pics of everything and the detail and quality of this last batch is amazing.

I hope he improved the design and build quality from the one I received, via Darth AXA.
Notes from the one I received.
The single screw at the back of the crystal chamber was the only thing holding the upper(blade holder) and lower half together
All the paint apps were spray paint.
The grip bars are made from acrylic.
The pommel is slip fit and held on with a single set screw.
The little floating bar above the base of the crystal chamber that the two parallel crystal chamber bars are connected to bends with the slightest pressure. Those two parallel crystal chamber bars just fall right out.

To say that it's disappointing is and understatement.

i had one of his old models. it is nice if you can get it for a decent price. i only paid 150 for it. i liked it for what it was, but it was just a display hilt for me. the old ones he made weren't LED capeable. i never had a problem with the crystal chamber bars bending on mine but i never really did much with it. and the grip bars on it were metal. i'd say if you can get one for a decent price go for it, but at the price he has it listed for no way. (i'd pay 200-250 for it, but any more than that and i'd say it isn't worth it, just my opinion).

The tfu2 hilts listed look nice, but they're MFX/tattoosby/cookie moster hilts so i wouldn't expect that much out of them. especially not for 200+ each unless JK did some serious work on them, but it doesn't look like it.

Are the cookie monster hilts a good deal or no? I was looking at the Sith Acolyte hilt. They have it for $89 with free shipping. I know this is a get what you pay for type of thing, just curious.

Cookiemonster is also Tattoosby5 and MachinedFX.  He has ripped off many members of the community.  Check out this thread: http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=15911.0 oh and here: http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=17919.45 .

As far as his hilts, yep $89.  You get what you pay for (with this person you may not even get it at all :D).  Glue, thin metal, small stripped set screws, etc.

For the price he's asking, I hope he has improved the design and materials used.

Thanks for the info. I will not be doing business with this person. I hate when people are shady like that, I have been screwed over before and I hate to hear of others being screwed over.
