This is an interest thread to see if people are interested in 1/6 scale battery powered light saber. It is made by my friend overseas.
The picture below is taken with iPhone 5 under normal indoor lighting. No photoshop.
This is how it looks like before inserting battery.
This is how it looks like after it's lit.
This is size comparison with SS Vader light saber.
The light saber shows different brightness from different angel. It has full bright when viewing straight from the front. Please go to pg.2 which shows different brightness from different angle.
I know I am not a premium member yet. If there are enough people interested, I'll pay the premium member fee to start the project.
1. Minimum requirement to start the project is 25 light sabers.
2. The available colors are green, blue, red, purple, yellow and white.
3. The hilt is made with metal
4. The length of the lit section is 15 cm (Standard light saber from SS is 16 cm).
5. The cost is $38 for each light saber with battery. Battery can last for about 12 hours. Additional battery can be purchased from Ebay or sporting good stores. Paypal fee is included. No gift payment.
6. Shipping cost via USPS 1st class mail with shipping confirmation is $3 flat rate to any US address. Whether you buy 1, 2 or more, the shipping cost is the same as long as they are shipped to the same address. No international shipping at this time.
7. The deadline is Oct. 15th for the first batch. It should be ready in about 3 weeks. Payment is not due until all light sabers are done and ready to ship. Thus, you should expect to receive the light saber within 4 - 7 business days after you make Paypal payment.
If you have any question, please let me know.
----------------------------------------------------------------(new info 10/1)---------------------------------------------------------
1. For international shipping, I am discussing with my friend and see if he can ship from Taiwan directly. Since battery is restricted for international airmail, the battery may not be included.
2. Pg 2 includes new pictures showing the light saber with different view angles.
----------------------------------------------------------------(new info 10/3)---------------------------------------------------------
My friend is willing to ship from Taiwan. He is currently checking the shipping rate.
Shipping battery may be an issue. The battery for the light saber is BR435. If you are located outside of US, can you let me know if you are able to buy battery in your country?
----------------------------------------------------------------(new info 10/13)--------------------------------------------------------
I am currently on a business trip overseas. Will finalize the list when I go back home later this week. Just receive a new picture from my friend showing all available colors for comparison. The colors are green, red, blue, yellow, purple, and white from top to bottom.
----------------------------------------------------------------(new info 10/14)--------------------------------------------------------
OK, I have upgraded to premium member and update the thread from interest to for sale. I'll be working on the list until this weekend. International will be shipping from US as well not from Taiwan. Battery will be included for both US and int'l buyer.
----------------------------------------------------------------(new info 10/16)--------------------------------------------------------
The list for 1st batch is closed. I just got back home last night and haven't had chance to check all the PMs. If your order status is incorrect, please do not worry about it. I'll be working on the list and finalize everything by Sunday night. Please check back the list on Monday and everything will be updated.
Below is the final list for production. If there is any error, please contact me ASAP and I'll fix it.
