I wouldn't pay $10.00 it

[huedell]

I love stuff like that.

But...

I'd have to have a LOT of money to not feel guilty spending
that amount on a movie prop.

But, yeah, if that's the thing Ben handed to Luke in the first scene we EVER
saw a lightsaber----that's some historical...ahem..."stuff" right there.

[Brue]

Seems a fair price when compared to other highly sought collectibles.

I would love to have it but if the auction got over $240.00 I would have a hard time justifying it in my families budget.

Do you mean that first scene right before Obi Wan Lied to Luke?


Yeah for a Quarter of a million it had better be a real Light Saber.

Okay here's what I was implying when I said what I said:

"But, yeah, if that's the thing Ben handed to Luke in the first scene we EVER
saw a lightsaber..."

Many times in a movie, there's multiple props used for the same item
for whatever reason.

Or there's back-up props made that don't get used at all.

So, the question is "What scene was it in?"

If it was only used in a scene where Luke was sitting around in
the Falcon and it was on the table or something---well, it's not as
cool as being the prop he used in the "Ben saber intro" scene
(mentioned above) or the "saber training" scene.

I dont think many of us could pay that if we wanted to.

You know what they say Money is wasted on the rich........

Who whooo 1,900

[RG]

[huedell]

dang that's a lot of money for a camera flash unit lol

Yeah well---it is one of the biggest flicks of all-time after all.

Amazing how that affects price.

A baseball outfit?

Cost: $150 (???)

...if it was worn by Babe Ruth????

Who knows?

[kryptosmaster]

In 3-5 years the technology will have been perfected enough that I will be carving my Thanksgiving turkey with a light saber.

(that's an in-joke for HIMYM fans)

the saber prop I'd like to get my hands on if I had tons of cash would be Ben Kenobi's from the first movie ... flash unit rifle grenade Rolls Royce part ... and a sink knob.

That saber would have to be from ESB ... the ones that were used in Star Wars had the LED lights from a calculator use on them.

[kingdom warrior]

You know the person who bought it is gonna be PO'd when they get home and find out it doesn't work!...

[Hector]

I'd rather buy a rare 70s muscle car for that price (if I had the cash to burn).

[Gorn Captain]

Have to admit, brings back memories.
Seeing a light saber ignite for the first time...

Cool item!
