Nice.

But the question is, are there any differences with the Vader and Dooku sabers, or are we already into total rehash land here?  Not real interested in another Sith Collection, if we technically really only need one of them...

I also just took a gander at eBay to see where they Jedi display cases are at nowadays, since it's been a while since I last checked.  I see that one just sold for $124.  Holy ****.

Plus, even the Sith display cases are up in the $50 - $70 range now!  That's absolutely insane.  All these folks with lightsabers, and nothing proper to display them in.  Nice work MR.

I was also informed at Toy Fair by one of the MR reps that they have an SDCC and a C3 exclusive mini saber on tap for later this year. I couldn't get any other info, as far as what it would be (a new unique saber or a weathered/as first built by version) but it was confirmed that there would be not 1 but 2 exclusives.

So Matt, you know you need to put me on the list for the SDCC one, right?

Gotchya Dave.  Maybe.  Considering you didn't/couldn't hook me up with the Toy Fair Press Kit, I'll have to think about it...    >:(

Yeah, I'd just recently remembered that they were going to have a C3 exclusive mini-saber, which blows.  One more exclusive line to stand in for a couple hours.  Ouch.

Is the SDCC exclusive going to be different than the C3 one?  If so, ugh.  But that line wasn't too bad at all at SDCC last year, so that one's not a major concern, I guess.

A Master Replica rep was recently asked if a mini saber for Qui-Gonn was coming soon, and she replied yes - in 2006.  But it's a little sketchy as to whether she meant a full scale one, or the mini one.  Though it's likely going to be both, I'd imagine.  Long overdue, for sure...

I see Philip answered your questions over at RS, Matt but I still think they should do the three pack with case as an option.  I guess we have to wait for Amy to come back to be sure.

Oh, and put me down for the C3 SDCC exclusive also, Mr. Colman :-*.

Since you spelled my name correctly this time, I suppose I could hook you up Beth.   :-*

But I assume you're just referring to the SDCC exclusive though, since you're going to be at C3, right?  Hope your plans on that haven't changed lately...   :-\

Sorry to hear about your son as well.  Hopefully things get better for him (and your family), whatever the issue was.

BTW, Philip didn't seem to like me questioning his answers on some of those MR questions there.  Apparently he feels his word should be considered just as good as hearing it directly from MR...   :-X

Personally, I'd still like to hear it directly from Amy though.  Of course, MR has been known to change their minds on things...  From time to time...   ;)

Oops, typo on that one.  Yes, I am going to C3 and will be standing in line like everyone else...or Jay might be.  We might split up our line duties since we have friends coming and I think he enjoys himself more on his own sometimes (as in, he can poke fun of people without me glaring at him).  Honestly, if they limit this to two per person, I can probably snag three extra to help out others that want this but don't really feel like standing in line.  Once C3 gets closer, I assume we'll get a master list organized since not everyone at JD can go and hammer out details like this.

Can I hang out with hubby?  I like poking fun at people (you might have noticed this from time to time) and I'm less likely to get the snot beat out of me if there's two of us :P

If you've seen the size of my hubby, you wouldn't get the snot beat out of you at all...which is precisely why he comes in really handy at events like this.  If I want to be on the other side of the hall and it doesn't seem like I am making any headway, I just tell him to lead and viola...instant clear path.  And you should see how well he  can reach around other people.  He was perfect in 1999 at the midnight madness toy run. He was crabby and he was in a hurry.  I got the dolls I wanted within a few minutes and he was able to secure items that seem to be so high up, you'd get a nose bleed just thinking about it.  Yup, if sarcasm is your style, he's the person you want to be in line with. ;)

Oooh, then sign me up for hangin' with Mr. Jadesfire too!  Sounds fun.

But be careful, 'cause Brent's already got him in his sites for some shenanigans!  Better check the C3 thread...   :P

Hmm, maybe not then.  I don't think I've ever been called sarcastic in my life.

Yeah, more hunting for them. Looks like theres also a Gold chase .45 scale lightsaber limited to 150. It's a sealed box so you won't know until you brake the seal and take a looky inside. Have fun.
