The group all together.
- SF Custom Vigilant 12w+ Deep Blue Champion. - SF Redeemer 12w+ Medium Blue Champion. Want to change the card and get a new kill key and covertech. - Korbanth Sidious, empty. Steel hilt has imperfections and requires buffing and polishing. - Korbanth Graflex, empty. Want the ANH assembly but the bubble strip arrived broken in several pieces so I installed the other strip and the glass eye doesn't want to thread all the way so I installed the bottom ESB screw. - SF Prodigal Son 12w+ Green Champion. - SF Custom Mauler 12w+ Red Champion. waiting on... - 2015 MR Black Series Yoda, nearly completing conversion. - One Replicas Kit Fisto, sent away for install of internals, possibly lost/stolen while in transit as I sent it on the 22nd of Dec and tracking hasn't moved since the 24th of Dec... |

Very proud Papa indeed.
A little worried about Fisto being lost but excited to have Yoda join the fam soon. Still want to add a few more... expensive addiction to a collection

Hi NeBosa,
I hope that hasn't happened to the Kit Fisto hilt, that was the one with the twin accent LED'S you were looking forward to receiving wasn't it? The remainder of your collection is seriously impressive! Thanks for sharing! For Tyeth |

Hey F.T.
Ya. The Fisto I was talking about. I actually had it in my possession for about a month then finally got the OK to send it away for install and it hasn't moved after those 2 days since I tried to send it. I opened what they call a ticket, and now the post office said they're do an "investigation" on it. |

Hi again,
Well I am willing the Force that it is just a glitch in the Post Office system and you get it back! I was looking forward to see the results. MTFBWY! May The Fisto Be With You! For Tyeth |

Thank you Brax.
I'm keeping the collection within the canon timeline, to think i'm only about half way there.

Hey NeBosa, I have both the Sidious and Graflex on the way from Korbanth as well. These are my first purchases from him. Do you suspect that the damaged pieces were a 1 off? These are fairly expensive items to come in with broken pieces...

Hey man,
These were my first purchases from him as well but definitely a one off. The bubble card seems kind of brittle like a hard plastic, so if it was not flat and leaning on something else in the package then had a bit of weight (even though bubble wrapped) shift on to it while in transport, it could break. I wouldn't have cared if it was the ESB or TFA style I wanted to put together but since I wanted the ANH set up I was disappointed as this is one of the details for it. I contact Randy and he's already sending me a new bubble card. Since the Sid is cast piece of steel, you'll see imperfections in it and it's going to require buffing and polishing and finishing prior to installing any internals. I can show you some pics… gimme a few minutes to snap some and upload |

Cool. I suspected as much, with his reputation. Thanks for the additional pics.

Ok, so keep in mind it's a piece of steel and not machined aluminum.
The gold on the emitter and pommel and the small copper sections are already powder coated or anodized, so its just the body that needs finishing. |

so basically... off to Justin it shall go! (Once they start taking commissions again)
 Thanks for the pics man, helps a lot. |

No problem,
I know how helpful that kind of info can be. A guy on the FB page showed me a few pics of his Sid before I ordered mine too. So I was prepared for it. Some people might be choked to see if that it's not a "finished" saber and ready for install. The Graflex is flawless tho. Just loosen the retaining screw on the clamp and turn it to whatever position you want. Install the grips. Install the screws and card. I love it. I can't believe a Graflex wasn't my first 'official' saber. I can't wait to have the internals done… I feel excited like a kid again. |

Thanks,
It's funny because it took a few buy/sell/trade transactions for it to get here. |

You're down your Qui-Gon right? Plans to acquire again?

Yup. I traded the lightly shattered and custom Guardian for the Redeemer. I do plan on getting the Guardian again but in a standard finish to match the rest of the hilts.
For the others in the group I traded my Custom Phoenix for the Mauler. Sold my Exalted and bought the Vigilant. |
