Lazbum's SE Edition Luke ANH (Update 9-8-06) New spot for the saber

[SAESEE TIIN]

Woohoo I just recieved this package today.  I spent no time getting it on display and will post pictures as soon as I get my digital camera back.

It's funny how you say you rushed to display it, I actually tried to get some unpacking shots of my last LE (Qui-Gon) and I only managed to get three (only one of which was  in focus) before I just dropped the camera and enjoyed the process properly (if quickly).  There really is nothing quite like that first look at a new saber.  Congrats on your latest acquisition!

[darthmaddy]

Theres no way I can take my time opening a saber box that Santa Clau-I mean the delivery man just brought.  You know what Mark Hamill said when MR asked him to sign 750 more plaques?  "NO! Thats not true...Thats impossible! NO, NO!" :D   Enjoy your new saber.

Very Cool!  I am eagerly awaiting the pics.

The Last LE I got(Han TESB) I was sure to take a ton of in depth packing photos.  As a reference for correct repacking.  I've done that Since my AOTC Mace FX, I think.   I'm a sucker for documenting things, heh heh.  I usually like to make it an experience and while I'm unpacking a certain replica I will have the movie playing on the TV.

I really like the idea of your Unveiling Ceremony Anakin!  :D

I make it a point to tell anyone who buys one of my Graflex Replicas to Watch ANH while using it for the first time. :D 8)

I'm feeling quite compelled to put on ANH myself. :D

Well when I first recieved the package it came in a Hp printer box.  Needless to say I was pretty confused until I saw the shipping address.  I didn't expect the package to arrive in 2 days lol.  So after multiple hours of waiting due to poker I had to rip it open.  Here are the photos as promised.

The white thing in the background is some remnants from a previous hobby.  I used to build christmas villages and sculpt the bases and mountains (the white thing in the pic) from styrofoam.  It looks really cool, like something from Hoth.  Plus I have lights installed into the back of it so when it lights up glitter crystals kinda sparkle to make it look like real snow.

Hey Lazbum

A sig edition is well worth it 8)

Can you tell me if it's hollow like a real Graflex?
Or is it a machined solid piece?

I'd suppose the top is at least partly a tube where the inner socket goes etc...
I may get one eventually to compare to an old Graflex I have here just to see 8)

Well on my ANH EE it's not hollow but oddly enough the spring on the flash end actually works. :D

[SAESEE TIIN]

From what I can tell on mine it seems to be a solid piece rather than hollow.  The only thing I think that is similar to the graflex is the bunny ears.  They move back and forth causing the emitter head to also move.

[AAYLA SECURA]

Looks great, lazbum. I'd like to see it compared to an LE. The plaque looks unique.

[benlurkin]

I think the ANH LE and SE are nearly identical, but I love the new style SE plaque. 8)
