Thanks to Asmodee Germany I was lucky to get a Luke and a Vader before release (I helped them out with my Batuu table on two offical events).

So I did some conversion work with them. Since I don't like to paint the lightsabers (this mostly looks odd in my opinion) I let them do what the normaly do... shine!

With some LEDs and acrylic rods I managed to install some lighting that is powered through a 3V button battery which sits inside the base.

You can find some describtion and WIP pictures on my Blog (at least on Lukes entry).

That is beyond awesome.

Brilliant, wish I had the patience to do that.

Amazing

That. Is. So. Dope.

Whoa...that's some tiny Khyber crystals

You win the boards and, potentially, the Internet today

Just wow

That is awesome, but i wonder would a red fibre optic be a better choice than the led for vader?

Really cool!!

I won’t be doing that, but great way to demonstrate where to paint source lighting effects :-).

That is something I want to do if I get a second core. I don't think fiber optic will work as it is not firm enough. I plan to put LED lights on one of my AT-ATs and my landing pad. I assume the acrylic rod is 1/8" diameter. Can anyone tell me what the light saber diameters are on the figures.

I did three lighted quartz crystals for a druid figure, different wire lengths cause then to flash with different frequencies. I wish my paint job was as cool as my LEDs. I also lit the eyes for a dragon mask (both 30mm figures).

Supercool! But those bases don't look tournament legal already

That is just incredible!

The acrylic rod is 1/16" diameter. The light saber "blades" are more or less same diameter.
