The forum section is, but we've posted non-SW stuff from time to time.

Ah I didn't see it was a SW section. The Tapatalk app doesn't list the section at the top.

On a slightly different topic, has anybody had any issues buying a replica Star Wars blaster (e.g. DL-44) from the USA and having it shipped to the UK? Is it worth the risk or shouild I avoid at all costs, and source from the UK instead?

There were (false) rumors of Anovos losing the license. These same people have been trolling the RPF Anovos thread for years.

Thanks, rnbuda.

You get it through customs and might not receive it, being held there. There was a thread about this on RPF. Not worth getting things like these outside EU

There is a RPF run of 1:1 Force Pikes for those who are interested:

- Extremely accurate model designed from many close-up reference pictures, screen caps and photos of the exhibited prop and accurately scaled from multiple known pieces.
- Fully CNC machined from aluminum, polished and selectively anodized black to accurately resemble the filming prop. The top 'gear' section will be machined from steel just like the found piece and the pommel will be transparent acrylic as on the real prop.
- Electronics capable - the original prop had a light inside to illuminate the pommel and there will be space inside to install a light and battery to replicate this functionality or even to go beyond the real prop and add soundboard/speaker if that's what you're into.

The pre-order price to be between $175 - $200 per pike dependant on sign-ups, payable as a $100 deposit before the run begins and a second payment of the remaining amount plus shipping to be paid once they are in hand.

Yeah me too.This is a prop you rarely see being made. And Tom seems interested in making it very accurate.
