[QUOTE="General Kahn, post: 267383, member: 2949"] The earliest sabers of course where the DT sabers, these had a flat end. The mold had a recess at the end where a pin was laid which created the hollow cavity in the saber, once the DT design was scrapped, the molds where used simply without the pin, the pin recess is what created the thin tip. The flat tip still remained. At some point, either new old where produced or the original where possibly re-tooled giving a rounded end to the saber. I may be wrong, but I have always considered flat ended lightsabers as early productions, often backed up by the fact that many are lettered on the hilt. The point being, I don't collect MOC's, but to me seeing a flat tipped saber this late in the game on a no COO Luke seems very unusual, the finer point being, if TT has been repacking these, he may have simply added the first sabe to hand. On another note, I have a Lando Skiff Palitoy ROJ 65 D which has a twin stem bubble with the seperate helmet section and has residue from a price sticker so hopefully o.k. (It's the 1st MOC I have ever bought and I bought it about 2 days beofre this whole TT thing broke out :( ) [/QUOTE]
