STAR WARS MASTER REPLICAS

[pitchin4eva]

Thinking of collecting more from this line.
Who has any of these pieces & what you got?
(post pics if you have any)

[Oxbeard]

I have the Jango Blasters, Thermal Detonator, and the Jedi Training Remote. The training remote is somewhat overrated but that is why I waited to pick up at an extreme discount.

My collection started with the first Han Solo Blaster and first Yoda lightsaber. Ended up selling them when the price skyrocketed. Actually glad I did now since they are remaking them. I have the new Han Solo blaster preordered, still undecided on the new Yoda lightsaber. Also considering the Sidious saber.

I also have all of the regular release and several exclusive .45 scale sabers. Really like this line since I definitely can't afford to have all of the full size sabers.

Have both exclusive Clone helms on order as well.

I definitely think the first pieces were much better quality than the newer ones, but they are getting better all the time now.

[LewisD]

I have the following:

Vader ESB LE saber
Anikan ROTS LE saber
Obi Wan ROTS LE saber
Darth Maul TPM LE saber
Jedi Training Remote ANH

and I have Sidious ROTS LE saber, Han Solo Blaster ESB LE, and a CloneTrooper helmet on pre-order...


I absolutely love the Master Replicas Star Wars line...the great thing is that you don't have to collect everything...you can always collect only Sith sabers, or only Jedi sabers, or only dueling sabers (Dooku vs Yoda, Anikan vs Obi, Obi ANH vs Vader ANH, Vader ESB vs Luke ESB, etc), which is what I hope to fully have one day...

I'm at the point that I'm moving away from Sideshow Weta statues to these props...

[Gruson]

What is the edition size on the ESB Han blaster?

[Twilitewichking]

i love the minis and you should give those a shot first pitch. I just started collecting the full size sabers and just today i got my first full size saber (icons vader saber) not quite MR but i got it at a great price so...:dance I have AOTC anakin and TPM maul sabers coming in shortly so hopefully these will not dissapoint.

either way i suggest picking up the minis first, you get the most bang for your buck on those and save a ton of space. Plus the 3 tier display case looks :google .

[Azog of Moria]

The New Han Solo Blaster does not have an LE established at this time...

[Oxbeard]

From the looks of the way they have done the Obi and Anakin sabers shipping now, the plaques only have the edition number and no edition size.

[Azog of Moria]

Sounds right Yoda is coming soon...MR makes high quality stuff I recommend them to anyone...

[bigdaddyrob]

I would strongly recomend any & all of the Mini Saber's. I took the plunge early in the year and played catch up and I have been blow away for a relativly small $ investment. The detail is amazing and the quality is suberb.

AZOGGG!!! Love the new banner!

[LOTR Fan]

I too have some of the minis, and the Vader and the Luke (Ep VI) are probably my faves. :dance

[Azog of Moria]

Thanks BDR, I have the Walmart exclusive weathered .45 obi wan saber coming soon

[Oxbeard]

Azog, When did Walmart get an exclusive? Is it upcoming, or have I been snoozing and missed another.

[mrichards2002]

Ox, it is an older exclusive. It was in Wallmart for a short period of time.

Mike
:ted

[Azog of Moria]

Yes like Mike said, it was an older exclusive with a run of 1500, it suddenly appeared on Walmart.com for about a day and is not out of stock again....I would check Wall world often as that opens from time to time.

[Oxbeard]

Cool, thanks guys.

[Severen]

Man I wish I had the ready cash to get some of this Master Replica stuff, but sadly most of these pieces (especially the ones I'd most want) are just way out of my price range, even more so by the time it lands on my shores down here. I'd especially love to get Han's blaster, but I just can't see that happening to be honest, just too pricey for me.

I do however have Vader's Empire Strikes Back FX Lightsaber on the way, so that's something at least...now if only they'd make a Dooku and a Yoda FX Saber.


Sev.

[Oxbeard]

Sev, the rumor-mill has it that a Dooku FX saber is in the works for next year, I believe a Mace Fx saber as well.

Haven't heard anything about a Yoda FX, but I would be all over that one too.

[Viking28]

I want a Sidous FX Lightsaber as well!

[Gazmog]

I know nothing about release schedules and products...so forgive my ignorance. How much are these clone trooper helmets and how much are they going for?

[elwood49]

Gaz, the blue and red helmets have an ES of 750 and retail for $399. Dealers had the blue one for less, and the red one was exclusive to the MR site. The red one is sold out, and the blue one is mostly sold out. There also is a white helmet that retails for $350 (I think) and is an open edition.

[Viking28]

Gaz if you decide you want one of the Blue Helmets I know a place that has it for $360 still.

[Gazmog]

Gaz if you decide you want one of the Blue Helmets I know a place that has it for $360 still.

I am still thinking it over, but I would like to know where I might be able to get one. Chances are I will order one.

[elwood49]

Viking could you PM me the site also just in case I decide to get one?

Got it. Thanks man.

[Gazmog]

Thanks for the link, Viking. :wave

[Oxbeard]

The red one is sold out

I was just at MR site looking around again and the Red Shock Trooper helmet was still showing as available ($399)

[elwood49]

My bad Ox. I looked earlier today, and couldn't find it.

[elwood49]

Which helm do you guys like better? Red or Blue? At first I thought Blue, but now I'm thinking Red. I like the red bars on the brow and around the mouth.

[Oxbeard]

They may have had some cancellations that caused it to become available again.


I definitely like the Red Shock Trooper better. As a matter of fact I originally wasn't even going to order the Blue Special Ops, but I finally caved and ordered it too. If I had to choose between the 2 though it is definitely the red.

[Viking28]

I like them both although I kind of like the red a tad more but the blue is what goes to the temple to kill the jedi. So I dont know ahhaah
A hard choice really because they are both cool looking.

[elwood49]

Does MR charge before they ship? I'm at checkout right now. If I can't afford it in May, I can always sell it for a huge profit.

[Oxbeard]

No, they only charge when the item ships.

[elwood49]

Just ordered the Red Helm!!!:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

I checked Ebay and they're already going for over retail:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...eName=WD1V (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=98027&item=6523927714&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V)

They must have had some cancellations, but I'm glad they did!!!! If I can't afford it, then at least I'll make a nice profit. Better safe than sorry. Anyone who wants this needs to get it ASAP!!!

[Viking28]

Dang that Helm is going to look cool.:bang

[elwood49]

Come on Viking, you know that you want to buy it!!

[Gazmog]

Just ordered the Shock Trooper's helmet!!! :banana

It's backordered, so there is still hope.

[elwood49]

Hell yeah, Gaz. :rock Welcome to the 750 club! Good thing we got ours now. The prices will soar to unattainable heights if this movie is half as cool as I think it's going to be. Think about it, you can get a Red or Blue MR Helm for a little more than the price of a Blue GG Bust!

[Gazmog]

Elwood, thanks!!! :clap The precursor to the stormtrooper helmet, and an awesome piece to have in a collection...such a great end to a great day. That was one hell of a good stroke of luck getting that order in. :eek Guess some had second thoughts.

Can't stretch to the blue one, but hey, the red fellas protect Palpy...that's symbolically evil enough for me. :evil :rock Can't wait to see what their role in the movie will be. :drool


I noticed they have an affiliate program. Love to learn more about that.

[Gazmog]

Can't stretch to the blue one

Will make a pretty good effort to stretch to the blue one. :D

[mrichards2002]

Can't stretch to the blue one

Come on. Who needs to eat this month. :banana

You can't take it with you.

Well, then again, you can't take the Blue Helmet with you either.

Mike
:ted

[Oxbeard]

Well, then again, you can't take the Blue Helmet with you either.

I don't know, my wife swears her and her next husband will live well after I'm gone and she sells off all of my collectibles (that is the ones the kids haven't already claimed for their inheritance) :lol

[Twilitewichking]

holy cow these props are amazing!!

i just received my first full scale saber today...TPM darth maul saber and im blown away!! these are amazing peeps i highly recommend you snatch there up asap!!

:dance

[jimmyjamesf]

Ah yes indeed the props from MR rock its that simple. I am really looking foward to the line of helms as well the new Han Blaster.

[LewisD]

Bob...any idea when you'll recieve the Anakin and Obi Wan ROTS sabers? Can't wait for those... :D

[jimmyjamesf]

Obi has shipped to me from MR I haven't had any notice on the Ana but it has to be coming soon.

[Twilitewichking]

hey bob any luck on another LE mace saber? :naughty

[Gazmog]

Well, then again, you can't take the Blue Helmet with you either.

Shall I wear the red one or the blue one at my funeral? :idea :lol :dunno

[jimmyjamesf]

I would think red is bit much for a funeral I would go with the blue.

[LOTR Fan]

Just found 2 Exclusive Best Buy Sidious!!!!!!!! :banana

[mrichards2002]

Hey Bob,

Anakin will @#%$ you this week. We got them in yesterday.
Incredible Saber. Very well weighted. I took one home last night.

My local gamestop just got in Anakin and Vader EP3 FX Sabers so those should be shipping very soon. I was playing with them today. I love the FX line. Inexpensive and alot of fun.

Mike
:ted

[LOTR Fan]

I totally agree the FX are really cool! :banana I haven't forked out the cash for the replicas yet, so they are a nice cheap alternative. :ar

[Gazmog]

Anyone have the FX Vader Ep5 saber? How realistic is it? How would you rate it?

Have to have something quirky and a break from the norm in my collection...and I think this might fit the bill. :p

[LOTR Fan]

I was toying with it today at Best Buy, until my own arrives that will have to do. I think that the batteries were a bit old, because the blade was a decent brightness, but the sound effects were kind of quiet. Although Best Buy had some kind of lame rap playing in the background. :lol :puke

[Sick Rick]

Man, you guys SUCK!
I TRIED so HARD not to order these Blue and Red Trooper helmets.....:bang :bang :bang
Sigh, ordered em both just now, Sure hope they are nice.

[Sideshow Gun]

I love these MR Star Wars prop replicas, they really are superb quality. I have an Anakin Ep II Signature Edition Lightsaber, AT-AT Studio Scale replica x2 :naughty , and a Luke FX lightsaber. I did have Obi-Wan & Yoda Ep III Lightsabers, along with Han Solo Ep V Blaster on pre-order but cancelled them as I think they'll go much cheaper on evilBay since they don't seem to be selling out too quickly. I'd also prefer if they brought out signature editions of these (I doubt we'd have much luck getting Harrison Ford to sign anything).

For all MR's great products, I must admit, i'm very disappointed in their new website. :rolleyes They were down for at least a few weeks before the new one finally arrived, and it still has some major sections to be re-introduced over a month after it's unveilling. It doesn't even give you anywhere near as much info as it did previously, like edition sizes, order status, sold out items listings etc. And IMO, it's way too over-designed - it just gets boring/hard to look at after a while.
I hope they get it back to it's former glory quickly. :thwak

[DarkShadowCollectibles]

MR has amazing products, with LOTR and Star Wars lines.

The sabers are great and fun to play with.
Love the FX and the scaled lines.

:lvader

[LOTR Fan]

I love to chase my kids with them! :poke
