For me (so far), its Harp's Starkiller/Kylo Ren Mashup. :azn:



I once spent enough money at Ace Hardware one year buying bits and bobs for building lightsabers that I got a Christmas card from the President and CEO of the company thanking me for being one of their top 10 customers that year.  Does that count?  I got a $2500 gift card from them as a "thank you" as well.

That's insane dude! xD

Oh man.....so you are the one who got this lightsaber. I was just looking at Harp's FB page yesterday and saw this. This is easily the most gorgeous looking saber i've ever seen :wink:

If you don't mind, care to share how much you paid for this?  :grin:

Most spent in one payment?  Lol.

I tend to spend quite a bit to assemble my costumes ( including the lightsabers - whether it's a completed saber hilt or hilt parts) to complete them which means sourcing items from different places plus the shipping costs to get them to me.  Though I think the most I've ever spent in one sitting is for a beautifully converted Denix Mauser into a Luke ESB Blaster replica done by Scottjua.

I was originally going to convert it myself, but seeing as he has all the proper equipment to do it, along with the time and experience, I figured it was worth the money to commission it to be done properly.

I want to say I spent about $700-$800 to acquire all the parts and the commission and shipping fees.

Worth every penny!  He did an incredible job.

Well, I think I've just seen someone who is way more into SW than me.
I mean, yes, that Graflex is really nice, but (at time of posting) USD 18,700 / EUR 16,800 :huh:

My Graflex 2.0 build I'm working on right now, the Canadian dollar isn't at its best and shipping just hikes the price up even more...

Tell me about it! Every time i go to place an order i contemplate waiting to see if the dollar gets better. Although i do ship to a mailbox just across the border so i save a lot on shipping charges!

Ive placed 11 orders from TCSS in the last 6 months, all were fairly substantial, mind you the parts are not all for my personal stuff.

Apparently that auction was a sham because the person who bid the highest backed out. The builder has posted for sale in online.  Link can be found Facebook or other forums.
