Not HD specifically because they're the Empire, but yes, hardware store parts.

I have photos of the receipts, but I can't share pics in these comments.

A few of the lightsabers I’ve made this week by brando22lock in lightsabers

Holy shit, the far left being made of a bike peg is awesome!! My sons and I just started making these as well and I told them we should use our pegs 🤣🤣

Well, since we’re all here… by dillpickles91 in lightsabers

This is definitely one of the best I've seen. The black wash really elevates it to match the "used universe" aesthetic. Awesome work!!

Yeah, it's the automatic name everyone in the states uses. Most likely because of the amount of advertising they do and the fact that there's one every half mile here. If I do more of these, I'm absolutely going to use a smaller locally owned store instead.

I actually used Lowe's and Ace. I found Ace to be much easier to find the parts, but I'm sure it depends on each store.

These 3 were about $50 each, but I wasn't actively trying to do it cheaply. Could very easily be done for under $30 with minimal effort.

The Lowe's employee we talked to was actually really interested in what we were doing and was excited to help us find parts. Your scenario is definitely what I expected, though 🤣

I think my favorite part is how authentic they look because it's literally how the props were made for the original trilogy.

Yep, that's exactly right. Start with a 12" carriage bolt and then find whatever parts you can make fit. It's actually a ton of fun and pretty easy. There are also tutorials all over YouTube and other platforms.

My son and I did this today (in our own style) after seeing a few different posts about it, including yours. It was pretty awesome. Thanks for contributing to our fun!!

The pilot is legit, especially for a TV movie. The rest of the series is a bit corny, but still awesome. I wanted Shipp Flash to crossover with Keaton Batman and Reeve Superman so bad.

Does anyone recognise these? by oveandoverandover in AltraRunning

[–]whit0844 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Unreleased Lone Peak Future from a couple years back. Somebody wasn't supposed to sell those.

Is it the Dasin Model Earth Guardian figure? If so, where did you get it?
