Smoked Darth Sidious lightsaber Best Buy EXCLUSIVE

**Brainiak76** · 04-06-2005

just curious to see if anyone in there area has seen these? there going for a buttload on ebay. And all my local bestbuy employees have no idea what the heck im talking about.

And also why the heck would they come out with a variant before the regular saber is even released?

Has it been posted as to when it will be released and why master replicas decided to sell them at Best Buy?? I haven't seen it yet and I just heard about this this morning. Very strange. Meditate more on this, I will.

The Darth Sidious Lightsaber is out and it retails for $34.99 BUT many Best Buys did not receive them and they are sparce. If you give them the sku number which is: sku: 7015945 and the upc: 836453001994, they can search the computer for you. Hopefully they will be arriving soon, because on eBay and on a few sites they are pricey....

yeah on a few sites ive seen them going for $100+

i also heard its a best buy exclusive...and this dark smoked version will only be available at best buy.

I called my BEST BUY today and they said that they have a few on order -- but that they were not supposed to be out until the movie gets closer to be released.

Might try the SKU# and see if they were in an inventory -- if they were to show up -- I wonder if Customer service would "hold" one for you. They are REALLY GREAT about the customer service thing !!

Maybe thats why BEST BUY was selected as a "test market" for some SW Specials ...

COOL !!! -- BEST BUY CARD --- WATCH OUT -- Plus we can ger reward points for getting these also !!

How long are the scaled sabers, in inches?

They are approximately 5 inches long. Should be interesting if they ever produce a full sized Darth Maul Lightsaber because to be to scale it'd have to be a little of 10 inches long....And if they did a Yoda one which would probably top out at 3 inches Lol...

I just picked this saber up and I and new to the MR line (keeping to the mini .45 for space considerations) and I like it.

I am looking forward to the regular colored version of this saber also.

It is smaller in size than the Mace or Dooku saber so it maybe closer in size to Yoda's saber.

The BB near me also had 5 Darth Vader FX sabers there also....I was very tempted but I stayed on my path and did not go down the Dark Side of MR......just yet...

I just got my regular edition Sidious mini in the mail yesterday from MR.com. My only gripe with it is that the parts that appear gold on the website pics is really an oil-slick-like color (almost reddish copper), and it doesn't look as good as the pics. Still, a nice piece to add.

As for the Darth Vader FX, it's definitely worth it the moment you stand in a pitch black room and switch it on for the first time. Be careful though as my blade is starting to bend ever so slightly downward from gravity pulling on it. Better to find a way to mount it vertically.
