The "Official" Master Replicas Prop Thread

[Morgbug]

Some pretty serious griping over at RS on that fact.  Kind of entertaining to read and poor Amy has spent considerable time online today   I looked around, but nothing I really wanted.

[JayDouble]

I actually find it funny Brent.  Amy goes on to answer questions all the time and RS people are basically ripping the sale.  Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.  Damn Scummers!   

[Morgbug]

Yup, it's definitely good for a chuckle.  Sure, I'd like to see a couple hundred off the Vader helmet too, but I didn't expect it to happen.  I think MR would have caused themselves infinitely more grief had they put everything on sale.  They'd have been processing cancelled orders for weeks.

[Holographic Elvis]

Very surprised at how they hyped up the sale and it was seriously lacking.  I did pick up a mini ROTS Vader for $22 shipped.

I think you could've seen say a 10% cut in the FX sabers and possibly some of the LE items that have been on the site for quite a while.

I would've jumped at buying an FX saber from the site if they went on sale.

I would have gone after the Mace had it been on sale since I still have my CS $30 off coupon. 

I was SO tempted to get the LE ROTS Anakin, but w/ Xbox 360 and Christmas approaching, I had to pass.

My ROTS Obi-Wan LE saber arrived today with it's nice low number of 3032! 

I really like how this was done and wish I had started collecting these earlier.  I also like how the sabers now come with a black polishing cloth.  Great idea MR!

Now if I could just get a better acrylic case for the AOTC Obi-Wan LE saber I have. 

[rishakra]

Well I recieved my free Obi Wan MR saber from the reviewstarwars.com give away and it was the scaled replica version.  Can't complain as it was free but can complain because I really wanted to use it as part of a costum for next year.  Oh well, beggars can't be choosers...

[Matt_Fury]

Those .45 replicas are really cool.  I have a bunch and they were the first Master Replicas I collected.

They do have the LE version of Obi-Wan's ROTS saber in stock, they are a bit pricey, but worth it.

[rishakra]

The more I look at it the more I like it.  I never thought I'd like something like this so I haven't bought any but this is small enough to not "get in the way" but VERY well made and "cooler" everytime I pick it up.   I'm starting the think about the Palpatine saber hilt now...Oh no!  I can't afford to be hooked on these things...

[Matt_Fury]

I didn't like them at first either, but Ryan picked me up one at CIII.  I then went on a hunt to get all the Obi-Wan sabers.  I then joined the Collector's Society and got the Darth Maul mini-saber.  I then went and got a few of the Sith Sabers (Darth Tyranus, damaged Maul)  I then ordered a couple of the acrylic cases and then had to get a couple of acrylic cases, which had me buying a couple of the Anakin sabers just so that the cases are full!  These little sabers are addicting!

I'm glad the saber is growing on you.

I guess my Luke EE plaque has been shipped.  To where, I have no idea.  MR told me to my address on record but that would mean here in Chilliville and I have gotten no envelope yet so I am thinking it went to Michigan and is going through the mundane process of forwarding to my Ohio address.  We'll see. 

[Waffen]

I'm bumping this topic because I'm trying to convince myself to buy the Yoda ROTS 1:1 saber and want to hear from people who actually own it.

[Matt_Fury]

I don't own that particular Saber, but I do have quite a few other LE/SE sabers.  All of them look fantastic, and the cases they come with make them practically museum pieces.

I doubt you'd be disappointed with it.  Do you have a Yoda focus in your collecting habits?
