Looks to be the right colour - but with six days left and already at 41 quid then I expect this will get close to 100

Nice R2, good luck if you bid on it.

I thought it looked ok the original sabers are a lighter green it seems too? I have decided to fully complete my loose collection and need all of the Last 17....this could get pricey! :shock: :wink:

The sabres have certainly gone up in value lately, as per the example below...

****ing hell, £40 for a sabre! Unfortunately the people paying these prices are the ones fuelling repro production. If you want repros to go away, we need to stop paying stupid money for mass-produced accessories.

Edd - I agree with you that it is madness - but the last two sabres I have had in have sold for around the 50 quid mark - why, beacuse the complete figure is selling for about the 100 mark and the figure without the sabre = 40-50 pounds
