Great having a UK-based channel with local knowledge. I always loved Luke’s green lightsaber in ROTJ. Now this. Hmmmm. I will look at his store.
Thanks for watching and commenting on a few videos today! It’s much appreciated😀 Yeah the sabers are certainly impressive, I’m thinking of getting another one, and same as you I think the Luke’s green saber is amazing! I also like the blue from Empire as well.
I’ve literally took the plunge and bought a darth maul double sabre from Paul, bit pricey but when I see your review and other similar ones on RUclips they really make the figure come to life, can’t wait to get it!
Oh wow! Congrats! It’s really going to make your display pop! 👍🏻
This is a wonderful addition...really elevates the display ---however some say it dont last but I have no experience with them. Nice information as always...cheers
Ah ok, I’ve had it going quite a bit so will keep an eye on it for longevity. Hopefully keeping the power setting at 50% or less helps extend the lifespan 👍🏻 thanks for the info mate 😀
Very good.
Cheers Steve mate! 😀
Yeah that’s mad bro! 🤘🏼🇦🇺
Yeah was well impressed! Thanks for watching 😀👍🏻
These are amazing. I got one for my ROS Rey. These are most haves and I can’t wait to put in a bulk order. Chris custom sabers is the most well known supplier for US collectors.
Cool, that’s great that US collectors have the option of picking some up too! 👍🏻😀
I need many of these for my Jedi/Sith!
Would definitely recommend one! 😃
Looks awesome been thinking of grabbing a couple for my CW Asoka figure have seen afew guys that have got them & they look great. Also have my first statue coming soon ordered a XM Studios Revan 1/6 scale not into statues but since its Revan I couldn't pass that up. Was also thinking of getting some made up for him. A red & purple saver would look awesome with custom sabers!! So yeah I'll definitely check em out as I haven't decided who to order from as I there's afew people doing it. I'll see which ever looks best I suppose.
Two sabers for Ahsoka would look amazing!! Those XM Studios statues look fantastic too, congrats!! I’m very tempted to get back into statue collecting 😅 Just not got the space at the moment tho!
Looks awesome !! Gonna check something within Europe to avoid UK taxes . But yeah that looks great!!
Yeah worth checking out if you can find similar in Europe 👍🏻
Take my money !!!!!!
Well worth it if you can track one down! 👍🏻
Wow, yeah, it looks incredible! And you don't have to deal with putting batteries in your figure, right? I never leave batteries in. I'm always worried that they'll leak. It's too bad he only ships to the UK. But I won't get my first lightsaber-wielding figure until Mando Ahsoka or Luke ships :).
Correct mate, no batteries required!! And yeah agreed, I’m worried batts will leak too! Luckily the button batteries don’t tend to leak as bad as bigger batteries, but still, not something I like to risk tbh!
Yeah worth trying to get a hold of them if you can sort delivery. Would look awesome with Ahsoka/ Luke! I’m actually thinking of getting one for my next Luke (Mando or new Bespin!) 👍🏻
Looks AMAZING. Pity I don't have any figures worthy enough to justify the cost. I have a small collection of Bandai figures and vehicles. I'm about to start building my AT-AT (by far the biggest model I own). Also have C3P0 to build (R2 is getting lonely). I've already done a Yoda, R2D2 and a Boba Fett. All Bandai models.
What’s the AT-AT build you’re doing?
@@TK421Collectibles It's a Bandai, 1/144 scale model. Just looked in the box. It's not gonna be as big as I thought. I love BanDai models because they are pretty cheap, but clip together perfectly. Really good quality. I live in a bungalow, so not must space to have big displays.
@@paulclancy4221 oh cool! Just watched a quick clip of some chap building it and painting it up, looks pretty great!!
@@TK421Collectibles I'm not a serious collector. Painting/weathering the model is not in my forte. I have in the past weathered models using ash from a fire or cigarettes(I don't smoke).
@@paulclancy4221 yeah I’m the same, not really in to painting and weathering etc!
That looks awesome, I just got my count Dooku and he sells his lightsaber . But he only ships in the UK . 😢
Oh no!! The Count Dooku saber looks great doesn’t it!! Congrats on picking up the figure btw!!
Looks great, but what bothers me is the bottom and top of the blade.
Doesn’t fully light up it up.
Ah yeah I see what you mean. When I first saw it lit up I didn’t really notice the top tbh! I mean my eye just wasn’t drawn to that I guess as the rest of the saber is so bright/eye catching. But yeah it’s something to bear in mind as it’s a compromise as the saber tip is tapered and the bulb will only go so far 👍🏻
@@TK421Collectibles I heard that Art 15 sabers make them so that dong on the end is not visible. I just ordered ANH Obi Wan from them. Justin Collection talks about this issue here. ruclips.net/video/zabFN8PFuug/видео.html
Seems like a lot of wires & boxes to hide in my IKEA Detolf case…I’m just not sold.
Thanks for checking out the video! Yep definitely a challenge trying to hide the wires etc! However my friend Todd over at Todd's Collectibles has done great things with his display and CCFL sabers. Check his video out if you get chance: ruclips.net/video/i7eG7Cp3Gd0/видео.htmlsi=Bif9H8nM2PA59lj9 👍🏻
What a huge improvement over the Hot Toys lighted sabers. Honestly, I don't see why HT does them - nobody uses them, so they are a waste of money.
Unfortunately, the cost - and the fact they are only available int he UK - don't make this feasible for me. 😒
Yeah I used Kylo Ren’s when I had that figure and vowed never to bother with the HT sabers again!
If ever do get chance to get one of these though I’d definitely recommend it!
@@TK421Collectibles Do you know how long you can leave them on?
@@daniel_sc1024 not 100% sure on that one mate. I’m guessing it’s just like a regular LED bulb.
Al least you used it on 2 worthy of the cost and effort and didn't wast it on a rey or kylo figure.
Yeah! I reckon it would still look amazing tho, especially with the ROS Ren with all the helmet cracks lit up? What dyou think?
