Obi Wan Kenobi TPM Larbel

[nkshpatel]

I don't know if this belongs here or belongs anywhere on this site for that matter, but I was wondering if anyone had an Obi Wan TPM larbel and would like to make a decent sum of money. The one I want is the EL Ready model, and don't say ebay because I don't have any money on ebay right now and I like to do things cash.

so anyone I really need this:

ONI WAN TPM LARBEL

MUCHO DENIRO JUST ASK!!!!

[Jedimom/Cor-Al Gelkar]

Okay, I'm stupid. Whats a larbel? A brand of lightsbaer?

[nkshpatel]

Larbel is a company that used to sell sabers. Kind of like parksabers but parksabers still sells.

[Saberbelt]

Larbel, or HK if you prefer, argueably made the best Obi TPM saber to date. I had one that was not EL ready that I just sold off to fund a more accurate version of the saber - but here are some pics of it

It is a very pretty saber that I really didn't want to get rid of - but the new one is going to be worth it IMO ;D

Good luck in your quest young Jedi

ROTFL!!! I had no idea either.

[Leda EmBorr]

Ditto... I've never heard of that before! It's a nice looking saber though. How accurate is the emitter? I have one that was supposedly built by Jeff Parks or someone close to him, but the emitter isn't accurate. The model I have is a non-working prop, solid interior, but the cap has a hole as though it were meant to have an el size blade pass through it.

[Saberbelt]

actually there should be no hole in the emitter if it is a hero saber. That being said, only the stunt sabers had holes in the emitter plates - or so I am led to believe

the Larbel site is still functional.
But as was stated he no longer sells sabers.
I believe he is a Japanese manufacter and his work and craftmanship were remarkable

I have searched many sites for saber ideas and just the Jedi quest for knowledge ;D

in fact here

the Mara Jade there is a just nice saber !!!

Ya' know I had pruchased an Obi Wan saber from someone on theforce.net forums and they never sent it to me. Seems I'll have to build my own.

I used to own a Larbel EL Obiwan and selling it is my single biggest prop regret.

It was a work of art. As well as the emmitter with the hole for the EL blade to fit it also had a second emmitter plate that had no hole and was slightly dished instead.

For those that dont know, Larbel was based in Hong Kong which is why his sabres are sometimes reffered to as HK sabres too. He is also a consultant to Master Replicas where certain sabres are concerned

I hope you find one for sale. If I had the spare cash Id be looking for another one too.

[firebrand]

I too had one of these. It was EL-enabled and had a blue blade from Parks... why did I sell it???

Well it may have been spot on accurate to the movie prop but it was pretty light and there was no display stand. The sheer, awesome presentation of the Master Replicas version made me believe it might even be worth paying the disastrously high ebay fees for one.

I settled on a beautiful, MR EPIII Obi saber instead. I miss my Larbel saber and recommend them to all. Nobody else ever made a perfect Qui Gon saber (That i know of) let alone the others.

...But i have an adoration of weight and presentation.

Those guys need to go back into business because those props are stunning!

[Plo Strax-Avix]

Larry Leung is the name of the guy behind Larbal.

[Saberbelt]

And an MR employee I believe.....

I think he is the Asian Distributor for MR - I heard that somewhere....

To say the least, he wouldn't go back into business. Sad thing too, his sabers were very nice
