Thomme Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 This is my baby. Always on me, whereever I go. It's got a yellow blade that's about 3 1/2 feet long. The hilt is a few inches longer than an average saber hilt (12") and the activation button is on the bottom of the hilt instead of on the side. Link to post Share on other sites

Thomme Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 light saber wounds usually don't bleed, especially a stab like that, they cautorize the wound. Link to post Share on other sites
Vicks Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 mine isnt photoshopped, it's one of these lightsabers that have a long plastic tube on the hilt which you can turn the light on and off, we we're playing with it in one of those big toy shops when we went to the new york.

Magsz Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 They use electroluminescent technology to power the blades. Â Back in the day they actually had plasma filled glass tubes that simulated the ignition process of a lightsaber. Â It was pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
KyberAuZ Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) They use electroluminescent technology to power the blades. Back in the day they actually had plasma filled glass tubes that simulated the ignition process of a lightsaber.  It was pretty cool. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>   Indeed. Nowadays, the new front of lightsaber "technology" is Luxeon LED blades. They're bright as hell --at least three times the brightness of any EL saber I've handled. Here's a pic of a friend with two made by another friend named Shannon. Both are Luxeon LED sabers, with digital pitch sensor sound, force feedback, built in charging ports for the battteries, and *extremely* durable polycarbonate blades for excessive dueling.  This pic and the other one with three sabers (which are EL wire sabers, not LED) are NOT photoshopped in anyway.

Magsz Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Its really amazing how far this technology has come along. Â I remember about seven years ago how cool i thought those plasma blades were. Â I even bought an original graflex 3 cell flash in order to build luke skywalkers lightsaber from a new hope. I think i still have it sitting around here somewhere. Edited May 12, 2005 by Magsz Link to post Share on other sites
phishphansj3151 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 How much do the LED ones cost? I might have to buy one... Link to post Share on other sites

KyberAuZ Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 wow! i want one! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â You and phish can PM me and I'd be glad to set you up with my sabersmith contacts ASAP. That way we won't clog up the forums. Price for the LED sabers varies depending on the complexity of the hilt's design, and of course how many/which upgrade options you choose. 6 days 'till the premiere...

Marlowe Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Very nice. Now all you have to do is go join a serious re-enactment society and learn how to use them... Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Hey marlowe, how about a lightsaber duel next time we're at LFU? Settle the Armalite Vs Ak argument like men! Edited May 13, 2005 by Ghost_Rider Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Can do. I should warn you though: Was in a 15th century re-enactment society while at Uni. I'm a bit rusty now, but I'll be no padawan... Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Darth Armalite Vs Obi-wan RPK Â "It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of airsoft... but by our skills with a lightsaber." Â Had a bit of Kendo training, plus used to fence and I LARP regualrly. This should be interesting.... Â Gotta get Wibb to film it.....

I'm the old man!  Erk...*spins around mid-combat for no reason and then evaporates into a pile of clothing*  Edit: do you have two proper light sabres Ghost? I only have a cheapo £1 knock-off of Darth Maul's that I was bought as a joke years ago... Edited May 13, 2005 by Marlowe Link to post Share on other sites
