It's solid and looks and feels identical to the sabers I've tried out at various cons. 4 hours ago, Special Sauce said: Love those working sabers. Been wanting a Dark Saber myself. Yeah might have to get one of those. I once had to take a (different) lightsaber through airport security. The TSA guy picked up the handle, looked at it for a few seconds, then said "I'm not sure I can let you on the plane with this. You might take someone's arm off."

Do you know if they make or plan to make Rey's saber? Can you share the company or where you got it? TIA.

If you're talking about the double saber that was in the evil Rey scene, a company called EFX is making a prop replica that doesn't have functioning electronics or the blade. It's just the hilt. But you can check out places like Korbanth Sabers to see what they have. There's actually a lot of saber makers out there that offer non licensed products that are of varying degrees of quality.

TIA. I got it from AliExpress. They have tons of listings for tons of products. I just looked up lightsabers and picked a seller that had good reviews and the product I wanted. I'm fairly certain these are the same lightsabers that all these domestic companies are selling online and at cons, just at a markup. A few sellers carried the Rey lightsaber. Just take to look at the products and descriptions very carefully before making a purchase. Especially with lightsabers where there are so many variations. 6 hours ago, Special Sauce said: If you're talking about the double saber that was in the evil Rey scene, a company called EFX is making a prop replica that doesn't have functioning electronics or the blade.

Lots of unofficial stuff and lots of variations to sift through.

Pontus Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Thanks again @Shawn for helping me complete my SV-262 with a reasonably priced Lill Draken set. Why do they have green wing tip markers on BOTH sides? I guess they might need to change color when attached, but then one should be red, lol. Anyway, I only really wanted the armors and especially the sword. I was really disappointed to find it didn't come with the valk. Was the sword a movie only item, or was it an integral part of the valk? I never finished the show or started the movie. How does this set figure into the anime?
borgified Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 @Pontus: Watch Jenuis’ reviews on the 262 Hs and the Lil’Draken add on as it will help you out. You haven’t watched the First Delta Movie, so my suggestion is to watch it. Keith’s and the Elvis Drakken (262 Hs both Anubis Head) plus Mirage’s 262 Ba and other Pope Head Ba are there.

The sword was used towards the last part of the series. It’s a folding sword which it was concealed in the front section of the leg. Too bad they didn't incorporate that in the DX figure.

Though looks like the YF-21 price went down a bit since Bandai announced their version.

So it's either DHL or FedEx. Though I remember there's parcel option before. But overall experience with them is superb for me. Great customer service too.

Last purchase I did was a Store Front items. After checking the availability they sent out the invoice and gave me 5 days to pay. After I paid, they sent me shipping notice the day after. Got the item 2 days after I received the shipping notice via DHL. So basically 6 days including weekends. I ordered last January 26th (Wed). I received the package January 31st (Mon). Hope that helps.
