Description: I have been an avid collector for over 50 years. Now that I am 70, I am being encouraged to sell off my collections so our son won't be overwhelmed with all my stuff. This is my RARE Still Factory Sealed in the Original Box, NEVER OPENED, original Master Replicas "Darth Vader" Lightsaber SW-207. I bought this new in 2005 and am the original and only owner. I also had the original Anakin Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber, which I did open and powered up a couple times before I boxed it back up and stored it for the next 17 years. I recently sold my Anakin Lightsaber and am listing this one now. The really cool thing about these light sabers is how the light starts at the base and advances to the tip as it powers up. When you power it down the process reverses. The video in this listing is my from my listing for the Anakin Lightsaber. You can watch the video to see of how the Darth Vader lightsaber will work, except it will be red. Five of the last pictures clearly show the factory tape on the box seams that has never been tampered with. This is one of the early releases from Master Replicas. This FX Lightsaber uses the original Electro-Luminescent glowing blade instead of LED strips used in the later models. It has the power up, clash, and hum sounds of the FX sabers. This is a opportunity to purchase a rare lightsaber!

For those interested, more about Master Replicas as follows: The Master Replicas brand (also known as MR) produce movie prop replicas and high end collectibles.[1] Based in Walnut Creek, the company was founded in 2003 by Michael Cookson.[2] Cookson has served as Chairman of Master Replicas since it was founded and chief executive officer since August 2004. Historically, Master Replicas has sold its products principally to customers in the United States. Long time Star Wars fans should definitely remember the name Master Replicas. Up until 2008, they were the premier producer of Star Wars themed replicas, including their popular Force FX Lightsaber line. Master Replicas manufacture licensed product for brands and companies such Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Chronicles of Narnia, Marvel Comics, Muppets, and Stargate. Previous to January 2008, the company manufactured and sold product under the Star Wars brand before the license had expired.[3] While many of their items are props at full-scale (particularly weapons like lightsabers, phasers, and swords), they also make many scale model items, like spaceships, and characters. Sadly, in 2008 they closed their doors, and in 2009 the brand was sold to Factory Entertainment. Hasbro then started their own Star Wars lineup of toys.
