The
The Saber Vault was doing a little cleaning up in the Vault and they found one Luke ROTJ Elite (#107) and on Luke ANH Elite (#319) lightsaber. These have been fetching VERY high prices on Ebay, but
The Saber Vault is selling them for lower with shipping included within the U.S.! Both have been opened only to check the condtion of the items inside,
so these are brand new never displayed pieces! There is only one of each saber so they won't be around for very long!
While over there, check out the great deals on other items including the new Yoda ROTS FX, the new and improved Darth Vader ANH FX (just in time for the 30th anniversary of A New Hope!), Boba Fett LE blasters, Luke ESB LE blasters and more!
