These gold/chrome/silver sabers kind of annoy me.

They aren't film accurate and seem kind of gimmicky..maybe I'm just jealous because the gold ones go for quite a bit on ebay!   ;D

I'm behind this year because I don't know if I want to continue on with the minis - I have last year's, but yet only one trio case.

Does anyone know when MR plans on releasing the new "generic" trio cases they promised us??

I got home from alert today and the Gold .45 Obi-Wan saber was waiting for me!   ;D

One small suprise is that it's styled after Ben's ANH saber, I thought it would be styled after the ROTS saber for some reason.
This is the way.

Matt,

I think you are speaking of the CS Exclusive Obi mini.  If the ROTS gold obi is what you are after, it is availalble I blieve on secondary markets places like ebay.  Owning both, I must admit I think the ROTS Obi mini looks better than the ANH gold Obi but that is just my humble opinion!

Thanks for the info psu.  I am happy with the one I received from MR....and I'll keep my eye out for the ROTS version.

Man I wish I started collecting these when they originally hit the market.  ;D

Have they made a regular Obi-Wan Kenobi from ANH (and corresponding gold saber) that are not the Collector's Society or Weathered pieces?

The 2004 SDCC convention-exclusive was the non-weathered version of his ANH
saber.  Now that the 2005 con sabers are the latest 'hot' item, you can get the
2004 obi for about $45 +S&H on ebay.   I dont know if they mixed goldies
in at the 2004 convention.

I have an extra 2004 'clean' obi to trade, btw.  ;)

The C3 exclusive wasn't a gold saber....it was the Dark Chrome ROTS Obi-Wan saber.

Sith Lord Chaos managed to pick me up one when he was there, it's a sweet looking saber.

My Darth Maul mini collector club saber shipped today.  I should have it by next Monday.  I wish they would make those cases already.  They keep posting "soon" but I don't know if that means the 4th quarter or 2006 :-\.

My Maul hasn't shipped yet, but that's probably because I only got around to ordering it when I was down at SDCC last month, and not at C3 like I should have.  Dumbass.  ::)

So I'm seriously lagging on the ROTS mini sabers.  Haven't picked up a single one yet.  Can someone catch me up to speed on which ones have been released now?  Is it all 6?  And if you know of any good bargains around the net for them, please divulge...  :-*
