That's good news to me...  It'll make a nice display with Anakin's E3 saber crossed across a "rack" of the others...  Maybe Maul's at the top or across the bottom.  Just something unique to display them.

It sucks I'm hooked on $120 (or more) items but at least there aren't an assload of them to make. :)

For those of you that ordered a Maul through the Saber Vault, be on the lookout.  I received confirmation that both of my pieces shipped today.

I have a 3rd FX Saber, Mace's, near my grasp...  Can't wait for that. 

I need:

-Vader's
-Obi-Wan (E3) when they make it
-Maul's (Double Bladed)

and then I'll call this end of collecting "done" I think...  Though never say "never" as they say.  I mean, god knows I'd probably buy Palpy's if they made it, or Yoda's...   ::)

Oh god it's always something.

Wow, that was quick.  Seems like it was just yesterday when they made the official announcement.

Any Place to Track down older FX Sabers?
« Reply #319 on: April 14, 2006, 11:27 AM »
Does anyone know of a site or someone that is looking to sell either of these sabers:

EP4 Darth Vader FX
EP2 Anakin FX

I have looked everywhere.  Even ebay does not have them very often.  Thanks!

Bored at lunch today...walking around Costco I noticed some FX lightsabers.  They had about 20 Anakins in and 2 Vaders.

Picked up a Vader for $79.99

Check your local Costco, if you are interested.

I may have to do that Kahuna, thanks.

Brian's Toys has the Mace and Vader sabers on sale in their latest catalogue too.  I need Vader's yet...  Have to get it at this nice new price.

I just got my Mace Saber in the mail from Jared...  First, thanks to Jared for that, but second...  Wow is that a bright, vibrantly colored saber.  I was thinking it wasn't as purple as it should be, and that they had trouble with it, but man this thing is pretty spiffy.

I'm up to 3...  Maul's, Vader's...  They're my next purchases, and E3 Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Palpy sabers are the ones I'll pick up if they're made ever.

These are addictive...

Lets all hope for the Anakin EP2 and Vader EP4 re-release.  Secondary prices are ridiculous. ???  I like many missed these two and really regret it.

Looks like the Obi-Wan E3 is the only other planned saber for the year. 

I would say Qui-Gon will be out in 2007 and maybe Luke E4.

My hope is for the Sidious and Yoda once they figure a way for the technology to handle these things. 

What ever happened to the rumoured FX Blaster Series?

Well, the only FX Saber I have so far is Luke's ROTJ saber, but I just pre-ordered the Kenobi ROTS one.

Guess that means I'll have to grab a cheap Vader saber at some point to complete the trio of OT saber colors.   ::) 

And I am NOT buying Mace's purple - 1 green, 1 red, 1 blue should be enough.  :P

I just ordered the Obi-Wan FX.  I forgot I still had the $30 off coupon from last years CS member ship so I got it for $89.

Jeff, If youre looking for a relatively inexpensive Darth Vader FX dsaber, I have two of them and I'm looking to unload it.  I was hoping to trade it originally, but I figure that was pretty much a pipe-dream.
