Have you been dream about owning a Top-Of-The-Line Obi Wan ANH Lightsaber?
I'm not talking about the crappy Master Replica one. To some the one MR made may be 'Top-Of-The-Line', but ask any true fans and they'll tell you its just a glorified (and extremely expensive) paper weight.
Top-Of-The-Line to me, means a saber made from parts either from the original source, or faithfully reproduced down to the last iota of detail, with no expense spared.
This task (of faithfully reproduced parts down to the last iota of detail) is especially difficult for the OBW ANH saber, because it was made from SIX separate, completely unrelated parts (Footnote: the only other OT saber which is equally difficult to reproduce faithfully is the Vader ROTJ, with some of the parts still unidentified till now). Each of the real parts has an interesting story behind it, and an astonishing account of how they were discovered by dedicated, tireless fans.
I have collected many many parts for the OBW ANH saber over the years, from almost every person who ever made parts for the OBW ANH saber. I also have an OBW ANH saber made from ALMOST all the original parts; Only the emitter is a replica, because it is near impossible to get one of the real part.
I would therefore, like to offer a chance to ONE local collector to own a Top-Of-The-Line FAN MADE Obi Wan ANH Lightsaber, as my way of giving back to the local community, and to encourage local collectors to truly appreciate this awesome lightsaber, touted as the 'King' of all lightsabers.
Its not going to be cheap. In fact its going to cost more then the MR version. But this OBW ANH I'm offering will blow the MR one away, by a LONG shot. Like the real parts, ever part I am offering also has an interesting story behind it, and a pedigree not often known to the average collector. It is by understanding this back story and pedigree that the truly awesomeness of what I'm offering can be understood.
Anyone here has the dedication and drive to own this piece? You'll need to prove to me you want it bad enough, and will cherish it once in your possession, and not merely turn it into another paper weight. If there is, speak up, and I will assist you in acquiring this magnificent piece of prop and Star Wars history.
Do we have anyone in the local community who is ready to enter the realm of 'ultimate' fan made sabers? (exept you Kal, you're already in ;D)
Here is a teaser of what could be:
(Mine is weathered, you can choose to have a prestine one)
