What do u guys think about the master replicas vs the hasbro.

I'm not really up on the kinds out there. I got this one years ago, at a sale.

I know Hasbro has been getting squirrely of late.

I think so to...they cut corners on the materials.

Yep. And they're trying to force people into collecting six-inch stuff, but not making any extras for it.

The lightsabers?

Figures and vehicles.

Oh, maybe some comicon stuff, but the store bought stuff everyone has.

I mean the regular store stuff. They're trying to phase out the 1:18th scale SW figures and such for 1:12th scale.

They also released a new line of "high-end" Joe stuff in 1:12th, but only a handful of "retro" figures and vehicles in 1:18th.

I'm not collecting anymore, but the entire reason I started customizing 1:18th scale stuff is because it was all there was. And it all works together.

Yeah. I don't know alot about the figurines. Just lightsabers. The kind that has the sounds and metal hilt.

Mine has sounds, but a plastic hilt.

It worked, but the batteries went dead. Replaced them, now nothing.

Hasbro 2010.

Don't leave batteries inside. They leak, and people who collect them don't like it.

I used it off and on.

It's probably a corroded contact

Nope. They're clear.

Oof...bad connection. U probably have to solder something inside.

Likely. It may have gotten jarred too hard in the move.

Any suggestions of a good collectible brand too look at for sw light sabers?

Not really? I don't collect them myself.

Oh. More towards figurines huh.

I just do customs. I don't even collect those anymore.

Really? Like paint and sculpt. Cool

Yep.

Of course restorations too.

An older one I did.

Female Rodian pilot named Nadala.

Whoa, cool. Hand sculpted? Or what

Partly. Shira Brie pilot body, hands sculpted from one Greedo, head carved out from another.

Awesome

Keeps me occupied.

And it looks like u don't cut corners with stickers too.

Nope.

I mostly use old, broken ones. Yard sales and thrift stores.

Rare breed.

Did u do the main characters...vader or yoda?

Nope. Always my own or requested characters.

I don't charge for them or sell them. Just for fun, or for gifts.
