« on: May 13, 2005, 12:14 PM »I was curious, on MR's site, it lists the Anakin (ROTS), Vader, as well as a Luke (ESB) saber "coming this summer". I think if I chose just one, I'd sooner go with a Luke saber, just more of a connection to the OT. Is that saber indeed coming this summer, and if so, does anyone know exactly when? Also, is there a better place to order from than MR's site?
I have the Luke ESB F/X saber, and it is a thing of beauty! It lights up and powers off just as the new ones do, but is a bit bigger and bulkier, due to requiring 6 batteries (instead of 3, as the new Vader ESB and Anakin ROTS do). It is my favorite saber design, and has the most sentimental value for me, so I went with it. In retrospect, I would probably still go for Luke's, even though Anakin's is pretty simillar, but closer in size to an "actual" lightsaber.
Basically, even though Luke's is newer, it is still bigger than the new generation F/X sabers (the Anakin and Vader sabers mentioned previously), but still has the new generation sounds and light up features. For my money, there was no other choice!
