Not really sure. Is the packaging the same? Is the Target version comes with remote? If it is then it's not the same as this Disney Store version.

Just picked up my new Yoda and Darth Vader Force FX 2015 Black Series. They're supposedly brighter with more uniform LED lightup.

May I know where did u get kylo saber from? And noticed it does not come with a stand which can be hung on the wall huh
*
USA.

It does come with the stand, that curvaceous looking acrylic is the stand. You can leave it like what I did or, place it down with the curved side up so that the saber can rest on it. If you wanna hang it on the wall, the bottom part of that stand comes with screwholes to that the saber hilt rests on it.

The old Master Replica version looks nice as a horizontal presentation, but I like the minimalism of the new stand.

the new HAsbro Sabers brighter? how's the product? is it better then MR? or the old Hasbro?

Yup, the new Hasbro Force FX sabers. The older Master Replica Force FXs are heavier and takes more battery. The LED lightup can be uneven in the older MR Force FX sabers, no such problems so far on the new Hasbro Froce FX saber.

I'm missing the Luke's 2015 Force FX saber, not listed in Hasbro Malaysia, and local third party importers only had the MR Luke, not the Hasbro Luke. For that, I had to import from the US via Amazon.

Just got myself these from the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in The Mines Exhibition Center. Made a move to the Book Sale at 5am just now when I found out through a Facebook post of a friend that this very Limited Edition was available for sale there.

Only 5000 of these were made. The first 125 numbered copies were signed by the Academy Award winning team that made the original Star Wars, and sells for USD1500-2000 each. This is the"Star Wars: The Blueprint" Limited Edition. The rest of the 5000 limited copies retails for USD500. They're selling for RM1499 here at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, with additional 10% discount at purchase.

The packaging weighs close to 15 kg, the book alone is 10kg, as big as a coffee table.

Star Wars The Blueprints brings together, for the first time, the original blueprints created for the filming of the Star Wars Saga.

Drawn from deep within the Lucasfilm Archives and combined with exhaustive and insightful commentary from best-selling author J. W. Rinzler the collection maps in precise, vivid and intricate detail the very genesis of the most beloved story ever to appear onscreen.

Star Wars: The Blueprints gives voice to the groundbreaking and brilliant engineers, designers, and artists that have, in film after film, created the most imaginative and iconic locales in the history of cinema. Melding science and art, these drawings giving birth to fantastic new worlds, ships, and creatures.

Most importantly, Blueprints shows how in bringing this extraordinary epic to life, the world of special effects as we know it was born. For the first time, here you will see the initial concepts behind such iconic Star Wars scenes as the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of General Grievous’s flagship, the interior of the fastest “hunk of junk” in the Galaxy, and Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Never before seen craftsmanship and artistry is evident whether floating on the Death Star, escaping on a speeder bike, or exploring the Tatooine Homestead.

Star Wars: The Blueprints is a limited edition. Only 5,000 hand-numbered English language copies will be available.

Includes Star Wars: The Blueprints book, custom-made cloth case, and certificate of authenticity.

A custom-made cloth case holds the massive book of technical drawings within. Featuring 10 gatefolds that open to just shy of 4 feet in length, Star Wars: The Blueprints captures the original materials in breathtaking detail. Each book is hand-numbered and with an exclusive, limited run of only 5,000 English language copies, only the most passionate fans and collectors will have access to these prized documents and the incredible story they tell.

*336 pages, including 10 gatefolds
*More than 250 featured blueprints
*Over 70,000 words
*More than 500 photographs and illustrations
*Hand-numbered title page

Only available to customers in the UK & Ireland; France, Germany and the rest of Europe; and Australia, New Zealand & the British Commonwealth.


The standard edition is available as hardcover version but much much smaller than this. The Limited Edition is MASSIVE!

Nice! I wanted to get the ForceFX Master Replicas one ages ago but just got the Anakin (Episode III) version.

This is not a Force Fx. It's a custom built lightsaber involving lots of different parts from people like Solo's Hold, GOTH 3Design, Slothfurnace, The Custom Saber Shop, Saberfont, and Naigon Electronics. Altogether assembled by Industrial Action Customs. They're made custom on limited quantities to emulate as close as possible the lightsaber as seen in the movie. That weathering pattern for example, is a painstaking work of multiple investigations and photo shoots at conventions and actual prop replica of this saber at trade shows and exhibitions. It is then converted into stencils that the builder has to place and trace onto the saber body before weather-painting it over.



The world of custom lightsaber is pretty complex, when it comes to sourcing out parts and expertise putting them together. And it's not purchasable off the shelf either, it's a 2-3months length of wait to complete.

Yup, what I wanted to say was ... the difference is just astounding. And yours look like it has a light-up blade too. And to make it with the thin neck for accuracy ..

Haven't delved into the world of customized lightsabers. I'm not even a Star Wars SuperFan unlike some of the other members here, example you!  thumbup.gif

We're all superfans, depends on what we concentrate on collecting. Mine is lightsabers, with some branching to prop replicas and costumes, but the keyword is ACCURACY. Others here are into models, some dioramas, some figures. TO each his or her own. I had a few figures before but they dont stand the test of time, some have yellowed and warped because they're made of plastic, so I chose to collect something that would last longer.



It's sabersmiths like Industrial Action Customs (who made my Luke thin-neck ROTJ) and HARP (who made my Luke TFA Graflex above) who are the real heroes here, I'm just very fortunate to have a chance to collect these. smile.gif
