After EpI I bought a camera that was a battle droid version of electro binocs, it's very funny because you can put you in a picture w/ Qui Gon, Obi Wan & a couple of other characters, kinda fun but it really only works well in bright light and light backgrounds. It does make an OK prop though.

really i would like to see a picture of that Nova if you can post one or send me one i was just putting a pair of different shaped bottles together to make mine i was thinking of using them as a mold for some polyester resin i just got the idea cause the top on this shampoo bottle looked so much like the range finder end of the darth maul kind of binocular if you wonder what one it was pantene pro v the big bottle hehe

I'll see if I can find away to post a pic but if you watch EPI you'll see a couple used by the battle droids as the battle begins between the Gungans and the droids. The Jedi activity kit that came out for EPII also has a small pair of electro binocs.

i guess with the research i have done this thread should have been entitled Macrobinoculars well at any rate my version will be a custom wont be like Mauls or Lukes but you will be able to make out that they are Macrobinoculars i guess the realm of starwars must have other version of items just like we have say so many models of cell phones right? oh Nova i cant find the ones you refered too & Thanx Schph i do my best !!!

Bought a set of the walkie-talkies for my son. They are large and bulky, not small like Qui-Gon's. I still may clip one to my belt anyways, what the hay. I have made my small one from the Gillette shaver but am afaid I am going to impale myself upon the antennae! I also have a JediDex I am thinking of putting a belt clip on and hanging from my belt too. What the heck...

i have see the JediDex in the toy store do you like the functions it has? i guess what i wanted to know is does it have good deal of knowledge to it or did you buy it for just a prop purpose cause i looked it for that reason too

I am somewhat disappointed in the Dex. I expected more, but then what do you expect from Tiger Toys? It has a database but only has like 75 referneces in it. The thing I like most is the Star Wars Trivia -- but unfortunately you can only play it once a day Some of the questions are challenging. I bought it more for my son, but was going to buy my own if it was worth it. I will just use his instead. Not worth the $30 it used to retail for, but I have been seeing it on Clearance racks now for around $10 which is a lot better. I bought mine on ebay for $5.99.
