By now, you've most likely heard that Master Replicas has added a new exclusive for the 2006 San Diego Comic Con - the Darth Maul Double Bladed Force FX Lightsaber Signature Edition, signed by Darth Maul himself, Ray Park. Ray cannot attend Comic Con, but, well, let's let him tell you in his own words:

"Due to a work commitment, I will not be able to attend this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Even though I will not be at the in person, the good people at Master Replicas have provided a way for me to be there in spirit - with this very limited Signature Edition Darth Maul Double Bladed FX Lightsaber. I have always enjoyed working with Master Replicas and the new Darth Maul FX Lightsaber is brilliant. I am honoured to be involved in the creation of their first ever Signature Edition FX Lightsaber and I hope you will enjoy adding it to your collection."

-Ray Park

The Darth Maul Double Bladed Force FX Lightsaber Signature Edition is strictly limited to 500 pieces worldwide, and will be sold on a first-come/first-serve basis at Comic Con. For $300, you will receive the Darth Maul Double Bladed Force FX Lightsaber, the Limited Edition plaque signed by the one-and-only Ray Park, and a certificate of authenticity from Master Replicas! But fear not, Collectors Society members.for those of you unable to attend the show (or for those of you who do not want to risk missing out on this very rare exclusive), we will make a predetermined allotment of the Darth Maul Double Bladed Force FX Lightsaber Signature Editions available to you through the Collectors Society beginning at 9 am PST on Tuesday, July 11th.

The exclusive will remain on sale until Thursday, July 13th or until the predetermined allotment has been sold out!

Not only is this the first ever MR Signature Edition Force FX Lightsaber, but it's also one of the smallest limited edition product runs in the company's history. Don't miss your chance to take advantage of this special Collectors Society Members ONLY sale!

Picked up a Mace Saber today at Costco for $49.97.  Might be worth checking out.  They were with the toys.

Wow, that's a killer deal.  The best I've ever seen was $99.99CDN (about $85US) at TRU.  ::)

My ROTS Obi-Wan saber just arrived and I'm really impressed.  The blade has a really bright blue....I think it's much brighter than the Anakin ROTS sabers I've seen.  Also, it has different sound effects than my Darth Vader and Darth Maul sabers.

The hilt's a little thick where the brass pieces are, similar to the ROTJ Luke saber, but that was expected...too bad they couldn't get the electronics to fit in a more movie accurate design.

Matt, where did you order from? 

Did anyone who ordered from the Saber Vault get any type of ship confirmation?  They were suppose to start receiving last week but I have heard no follow up ???

Oy.  Wish I'd caught this last week.  I'm gonna have to zip up the street to see if there's any left at our Costco.  Thanks for the tip Jay.

I'm brainfarting on this, but has MR announced a FX Qui-Gon, or was it only the regular hilt, and (rumored) mini that they mentioned were coming?  I think that was it, and the FX ain't happenin' still...

Matt -- let me know if your Costco has any.  I've been meaning to check up in the valley.  The one by me -- in Marina Del Rey -- didn't have any...

WOW, that is an awesome price! :o  I would consider getting one myself at that price, but unfortunately where I am in IL, the Costco's don't carry them.  Any chance I can convince one of you CA guys to pick one up for me and ship it my way, if they are still available?  Send me a PM if you're interested.  Thanks.

Jim,

I ordered the Obi-Wan FX saber from MR's website.  I was able to use one of last year's coupons from the CS to save a few bucks.
