Hey guys, first time poster.
Been wanting to pick up either a Windu or a ROTJ Luke, but I really don't want to pay 300 bucks for the MR ones. I browsed Hasbro's site, but they didn't list either sabers for availability. Does anyone know if they're planning to release either of them, or are they killing them off (as I've heard they are the worst of all of the sabers, but hey, a collection's a collection)?
The Toys R Us near me has one ANH/ESB Luke left, and I'm tempted just to grab that one instead of waiting.

I don't know at all but I'm pretty sure they would release at least one of the Mace sabers, they've done Yoda already and it seems they're doing one for each character. I don't think they will ever release the EL sabers though.

EL stands for Electroluminescent. The very first Force FX ligtsabers used a light tube much like a flourescent light bulb instead of LEDs, so they are referred to as the EL sabers. They aren't very good because they're much more fragile and not as bright, I've heard.

Yes, the Anakin AOTC and the original Luke ROTJ were EL sabers. But since MR already made a new Luke ROTJ with LEDs that leaves only one saber that will probably not be released, the Anakin AOTC.
Hasbro did state that their first priority would be to release the existing ones first, before making any new ones, so hopefully that means every saber so far. I could see them not releasing the ones which are very similar, such as the Vader ANH, since it's almost the same as the Vader ESB which has already been released. That could mean no Luke ESB as well, since the Luke ANH is already out.
