Master Replicas Force FX Lightsabers

[jr87mustang]

I don't know if any of you know what a Shopko is (similar to Target), but the have gotten quite a few Vader and Anikin sabers in. I found it very odd that a retail store like them had them. They are $129.99 but are on sale this week for $99.99.  I wanted the Anakin to match my Vader but alas, my wife thinks its better to eat. So....a call to my mom went in and I will have one for my brithday! Yay for me!
If you guys have a Shopko check it out.

Shopko is where I picked up my Vader saber.  At the time, they didn't have Anakin but Vader was on sale for the same price as it is now.  It certainly is the way to go!!

PS;  Way to go  jr87mustang's MOM

I expect the Obi hilt will be similar to something as well, but hopefully different enough. 

The Luke Jedi hilt would be closest to Obi-Wan's, would it not?

I've got a buddy who works at a Best Buy.  Had him look up the employee discount on their Anakin and Vader sabers, and it came out to $65 each.  I'm gonna hit him up to hook me up with a Vader.  $65 is just nuts.

Went to a Borders today to check out their Luke sabers, and didn't see any.  Where are they keeping them in the stores?

At the Borders I went to, all the FX Sabers were sitting behind the check-out counter.  I had to ask at the desk to see/play with the "demo" and check out the box.

Pretty much identical by the looks of things.  I'm not sure why I thought it would be different   Scum has supposed pics of the Obi ROTS FX saber and it's awfully familiar (presuming it's not just the re-released Luke saber - it's not lit up). 

So I'm left with a bit of a dilemma.  I avoided the Anakin blue saber because the hilt was too close to the Vader.  I never grabbed the Luke ESB saber for the same reason.  It's too late to go back and be OT only since I have the Mace saber. 

So what blue saber do I get?

The cheapest one

Hmm, logic. 

[Jesse James]

$65 for a saber?  Now that's a sweet price Cosby...  I gotta make more friends I guess.

I'm hoping to find a Vader saber for less than retail...  Cheap of me, but this kinda pricey stuff kills me to collect.  These are the kinds of things that people oogle when you show off the collection though so I really like the FX sabers as something "special"...  A wall of opened actionf igures just says I'm the loser I am, but the FX sabers say I'm a loser that can buy and sell people!  (Well, I at least can try to make it look that way anyhow)

[JayDouble]

The Borders around me got Luke back in stock.  So if you're still looking for it check your local Borders.  On another note it seems to me that the Mace is sitting at Gamestops.  I wonder why that is.

TRU in CAnada got the Luke ROTJ saber

[Holographic Elvis]

Maybe GS will cut the price on the Mace.  I'd grab it then.

Luke ESB FX is available at Master Replicas website.

[Jim]

Well, I fell for the Luke ESB saber that MR offered briefly last week.  Got it today.  Now I feel obligated to complete the FX set.  Anyone know what I may be missing as far as already released sabers?  I have the following:

Luke ESB
Luke ROTJ
Anakin ROTS
Vader ESB
Mace AOTC

Was there another Vader for ANH?

[Morgbug]

I think the other Vader was just the different lights and six batteries instead of the LEDs and 3 battery setup.  I think the hilt is the same.

I checked the Saber Vault and they did do an EP2 Anakin as well as a EP4 Vader.
