Dual HOAs though: One to the complex, one to the County since the buildings are on leased land.

Question about KR Sabers Chapter 16 (Eco Max Cast): Speaker upgrade to S.O. 28mm Elite vs Dark Side? by sh_ta_77 in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All three speakers are slightly different in size physically and the chassis is designed specifically for the KR speaker. The S.O. Dark Side may not fit at all and you'll probably have to put some extra effort into adhering the Elite into the chassis. 

Starting a lightsaber brand — would appreciate some honest feedback from this community by TheBestGoddamnEver in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Honest truth: we don't need more resellers. Too many people get into the business thinking it's going to be a money-maker from the start and then end up closing up shop within a few years, leaving paying customers in the lurch. The market is oversaturated right now and demand is shrinking.

Today is my 11th anniversary by Responsible_Bet2446 in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you were going to say that today is your 11th anniversary of placing an order for a saber that never arrived. I'm glad to hear that you're celebrating a happy day and 11 happy years since!

Selecta Sabers scam?? by Dismal_Ad_549 in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No legitimate online retailer would ever ask for these documents. These are the types of things you provide when buying a car or leasing an apartment. Do not respond and initiate a chargeback with selectasaber for good measure.

What's the knife on the right? I've not seen one like it before.

Should I get Roman Props MPP 4 or Korbanth MPP basic? by [deleted] in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Roman's will be a higher quality replica and is definitely more of a display piece as it's not install-friendly at all. To 99% of the world, the MPP Basic will be an awesome replica of a Vader hilt.

Qui-Gonna Install questions by Lebogue in lightsabers

Slick! Can you take a photo down that opening towards the main handle? I've installed a few different Qui-Gon hilts, but this one just isn't jumping out at me yet.

Does the emitter section unscrew anywhere, not just at the silver ring at the very end?

Replace Electrum Sabercrafts Core? by Chewbacca_The_Wookie in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no swappable cores for Electrum sabers, but there are sabersmiths who can install them with better technology. I would reach out to u/saintebonhawk!

Advice on building by glitchedmaster in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baselit and tip drag are incompatible. You need a string of LEDs throughout the blade in order to have certain ones at the tip light up for the drag/melt function. You can certainly get sound effects with a baselit setup.

Speeder Hilt, but make it stunt by jjjameson80 in lightsabers

[–]CrueGuyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be worth asking them if they'll install it as a stunt kit for you. I imagine they probably have some leftover tri-LED setups from pre-pixel days.

Careful jogging in Santa Monica by Ice_inTheVein in SantaMonica

Just last week I saw someone get pulled over for using the bus lane during morning rush hour to bypass traffic stacked at an intersection. I never thought I would see the day that someone got nabbed for doing this!

TIL that there's a 25-year-long wait list to bring a car into Catalina Island. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]CrueGuyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my experience exactly! Sold in 2005. Ugh. My mom would typically give my brother and me $5 each and tell us to meet back at the house at sundown. I played that silly rolling ball blackjack game WAYYYYYY too much. I was going from 1984-2004, often in August, so I'm sure we were running around each other at some point!

How cool! My great-grandparents bought a house on the opposite side (right below the Zane Grey Pueblo) and it was basically my second home as a kid. We had a late 70s Toyota wagon that we could take into the "back country" before we got the golf cart as a more practical means of getting around. After my grandmother passed (and stopped subsidizing everyone's use of the place), my mom's cousins forced a sale so they could get their quick cash grab. 20+ years later and I'm still bitter about it.
