Hi Everyone. I'm new to collecting FX sabers, but I dove right in over the past two months. I ended up getting the double bladed Darth Maul (favorite character, favorite saber), the ESB Vader, the ROTS Anakin, and the ROTJ Luke. Although I've missed out on a lot of the first releases (based on what I've read in this thread), I can't see myself going back and completing the set. One because of the price and two because I wouldn't know where to even begin to locate them. I do really like this generation of sabers.
I'm pretty glad that I waited until now to get them, as I saved myself a few hundred by getting them on ebay or through the MR package deals that I've split with another collector I work with.
I can't wait to get the ROTS Obi-Wan and would love to see either Dooku made eventually as I love the uniqueness of the hilt.
I have to ask though, has anyone purchased one of the 'Luxeon' versions of these with the sparring blades posted on ebay? I just want to know how they stack up.
