    Thanks @Underwear, I somehow fought I need to attach the clip so the helmet can go somewhere when he's off.

    And @Topic, I don't really understand why you need to modify the hands. Sure, it doesn’t tab in anywhere, but my Star Saber can hold the big sword just fine.

    I have had a few PM's and I am going to make a bulk order tonight. I'll be able to nail down the exact price also once I get home and have access to the CAD model. I'll let you know as soon as I get more info!

    I'd be interested as well dude, as long as you are willing to ship to Canada.

    Yup, I can ship to Canada, but in my experience it can be an extra $1 to $2 dollars, but I'll grab your zip code in a PM and get you the exact amount once I get the pre-order rolling.

    I have a bulk order coming in for the sword/hilt adapters on the 24th from shapeways. They will be $7 shipped in the US. They will be the black strong and flexible material. Shapeways price is $6.91 per piece but you will save $4.99 in shipping going through the bulk order.

    So PM if you would like to order through me and I'll put you on the pre-order list. I'll ask for payment once the parts are in my possession and I am ready to ship out.

    This worked well with the past orders so it should go smooth again. My feedback is in my sig.

    Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, not yet. My order was stretched out due to ordering a 3D nickel printed part along with the antenna and bulk hilt adapter order. They should be here on the 24th. I'll post pic's as soon as they get here!

    It's a shame whoever made that Shapeways piece didn't take the opportunity to bulk up the entire handle - regardless of whether it stays in the hand, it still looks really puny, not reminiscent at all of the hilt of a powerful sword.

    That would be a lot harder to do and then you'd have to deal with painting it to match the blue. I think the sword is fine as is personally.

    Seeing that some of you are making extra parts or pieces for the figure, how about a second "helmet" that allows the robot in its big form to have Saber's Face instead of the "battle up" helmet?

    It would be very cool.

    Why do you need a second helmet? He can do that anyway.

    The little head of Saber looks very tiny for the big-robot body.

    Has anyone else had trouble getting the nose of the jet back on? I can get it almost all the way back on, but just not quite all the way. It seems as though Saber's head is hitting the hinge on the bottom of the jet nose piece, and preventing a full connection. What am I missing here?
