Hello all,
just bought myself a Darth Maul single hilt from Gamestation today. I must say, I do like it but at the same time I'm really dissappointed with it for some reason.
It doesn't feel as sturdy as I thought it would, obviously the hilt is alot longer and the blade is only attacted to roughly half of the hilt. It feels like it's not very secure. It doesn't feel broken or anything but it does creak slightly sometimes. I can tell it will make a fantastic spinning saber for me though. The blade isn't as bright as I was hoping either. Due to the thicker blade it also seems to "vibrate" alot when it's came into contact with something.
The hilt looks fantastic though
I actually only ended up paying just under £25 for it in the end (orginally £49.99) but traded in some of my old playstation 2 games (very old ones) so that's pretty good
Do you think it'll grow on me abit?

The "not quite as sturdy feeling" you're talking about is because the Maul has more blade flex than other FXs. When coupled together, the full Maul needs this flex in order to ease the extra stresses put on it when it is used as a double.
Now the creaking, I don't know about. I have a few Mauls and none of them creak. But that doesn't mean it's broken. Many sabers creak including the new Luke ANH.

woke up this morning and the blade doesn't creak :-) been spinning it alot last night and well, it doesn't creak now. It feels quite sturdy today and nothing feels loose. Quite pleased with it now.
Would you suggest buying a second one to make the full maul?

I'd love a Maul saber. I want to try and get every FX ever made eventually, no matter what the cost. At the moment I only have a broken Anakin ROTS (broken from dueling, so I use it as a stunt saber to practice my spins and stuff) and I have a Vader ANH on the way which should be here sometime over the next couple of days.
I'll have to keep an eye out in the Gamestation in Leicester. Where are you from?
