Unsure if this topic has come up before but...anybody out there actually own or would consider a light whip attachment? I think I've seen maybe one single vid on YouTube.

Hi xyster,

I've done a search of the forum and I think there's only one person who has brought up the subject before you. Just to let you know there is a problem with the whip extension in that you can't use it on slanted emitter hilts or with claw attachments otherwise it's Ok as long as you don't perform whip cracking. Smooth arcing motions seem to work best.

Yep, Thanks for that. :)
Wouldn't work with my viper claw Descent then, not that it'd be my type of thing anyhow. But considering one as a birthday pressie for my GF next year.
Perhaps consular hilt, definitely hot pink w/crimson font.
Having room to swing it though would be problematic.

Any news from customs For Tyeth?

I may get one eventually. Even if it's just for display. I like the concept

I'm afraid not, Customs in this country work about as fast as a Pope being elected!

If I had been The Chancellor of the Exchequer I would have got my saber by now,
George Osbourne has a collection of three lightsabers in his Westminster office that Lucasfilm "gave" him.
Bet he didn't pay tax for them! :lol:

Okay I admit they have to stay in Westminster but still..

Thanks for asking, I'll let you know the latest,

Sorry tracker9685 didn't mean to bump your post, you clicked submit while I was still typing!

It would make a good exhibition piece for display/non contact. You would need some space though!

Also sorry it's taken me a while to get round to welcome you to the forum!

Don't worry about it. It happens.

I may just put it on a shelf and wrap the actual whip part around a nail or something to save space.

And thanks for the welcome! I really enjoy this community so far.

It has been a great help to me in making my choice of Saber and the dreaded wait, but believe me it is possible to survive it with these guys and girls (there are a few out there somewhere).
I am just getting twitchy as my Saber is soo close yet still at the customs office!

I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future,
