Hey guys, i have started collecting loose graded figures, and i wanted a luke farmboy, but they are too pricey the already graded ones, so i bought a loose one too grade myself, soon as it came today i water tested the saber and it sunk now i now blasters, stormy rifles etc.. sink if the are fake, but does this go for the light sabers too?

No

snakes & some axes/staffs sink (that are real)

Hi James, thanks alot mate for getting back too me on this, the guy i bought it from, had bought it from somebody else who said it was real, when it sunk i was abit gutted, but £13.00 isn`t alot of money in this day and age,and atleast its not £200.00 i will post some pics for you too have a look at, im not getting my hopes up, but if they can sink then what step is there too take next too see if it is real, before sending it off too get graded?

Thanks.

HI MATE, I have 2 original lightsabres from my original boyhood collection and one sinks and the other floats, I think another test at least for the vader and the luke sabers is that they glow under a ultra violet lamp. (But im no expert) :wink:

^^ Taiwan sabers do not glow.

I also have some original sabers that sinks in water.

I did not know that Taiwan sabers do not glow with a ultra violet lamp, but do taiwan sabers sink in water ?
