not really. I just really like the idea of getting Yoda's saber because it looked really cool in the movies and I like the idea that the little guy had his own saber built to his scale... its an alien saber as opposed to all the other human scale sabers that are out there  ;D
and truthfully I've only recently been "reborn" as a Star Wars fan from a combination of the new movies and the Battlefront games. I was pretty crazy about the Star Wars when I was a kid and being 26 now I actually saw Jedi in the theater and can remember it.

Cool!  Welcome to the club.  Since you got it off of ebay, do you know which number in the line you have?
This is the way.

unfortunately no... the seller had another Yoda saber for sale at the same time and a bunch of others so he didn't really individualize the auctions that much.. come to think of it I haven't gotten the "payment receipt" email yet from Pay Pal so maybe the guy hasn't even gotten around to accepting my payment yet.. grrrrr...

but on the brighter side I used a $15 off coupon so I saved a little cash  ;D

Cool.  I'm sure you'll be happy with the saber once you have it in hand.  I have a few and they look great.  With the cases they really display well.

I'm rather glad that Obi's saber won't ship until next year...I need a break!
I assume many will be in an uproar, though, on some of the items.  MR did state for quite some time that the helmets would be out before Christmas.  Too bad for those that were really giving these items as gifts.

that new stuff sounds pretty sweet.

so how many of you are MR "collectors club" members? they price things weird over there... only $30 for mini-sabers but $350 for big ones and $60 for club membership  ???
blows my mind.

I'm a member.  I have most of the items that MR sells that are Star Wars related.  I didn't, however, purchase the ROTS Yoda saber (congrats on that by the way) as I have the first one that MR put out and it's similiar enough that the minor "battle" scars didn't sway me to buy the ROTS one.  The only saber I wish I would have gotten but never did (and one of the few items I am mssing) is the battle damaged Darth Maul saber. 

The mini's are fun to collect and if you do decide to get some of them, make sure to pick up a display case! 


PS:  Welcome to the wonderful world of prop collecting....there's no turning back now!!

I'm also a member and it has paid off, I got my ROTS LE Obi-Wan saber for $50 less than retail and quite a few deals on mini-sabers as well as some exclusives.

One other mention in the newsletter, you will now have to sign for items delivered from the MR website.  Makes perfect sense to me, since most of the items cost quite a bit of money, but now I'm worried that the EE Obi-Wan saber will now ship between 24 Jan and 6 Feb when I'll be in NY on leave!  :-\

no doubt the collectors club thing sounds awesome.. I'm just too broke from my latest purchase to afford a membership  ;D

it sounds like you do get a grip of stuff when you sign up. i may have to look into joining in a month or two when i'm sure my prop addiction will really take hold.

That's strange, my newsletter didn't arrive.  Maybe I'll have to sign up again.  :-\

If I ever decide to rob a bank, I'll get that DV Helmet.  But until then... ;)

Has anyone gotten their 2nd Luke EE plaque?  I still have not received mine and another phone call to MR got me nowhere.

got my 1:1 ROTS Yoda saber in the mail today... so cool  ;D

thing's got some weight to it and the weathering is superb. If I buy another saber anytime soon it'll be a 1:1 Sidious. besides the theaterical signifigance of it next to my Yoda saber I think the thing just looks cool and they go for about the same price as the Yoda one (less than $300) so that works for me.
not ready to commit to anything else quite yet though. this one measly saber will have to do for now  :P
