Is there any certan rules in the Assembly that pertain to how "custom" a saber hilt needs to be? You see, until I can get my design assessed by Random Sabers and paid for, I plan to do some sparse modifiacation and some heavy painting to one of those cheap Qui-Gon hilts from Hasbro. And...if any of you have some good ideas or bad experences with this kind of cheapo customization, please let me know. Thank you all. [glow=red,2,300] -Wannabe[/glow]

None of the Hasbro toys are acceptable for Jedi Assembly costumes. I don't know of any modifications that would make them look like more than plastic. For an economic choice and with careful building, the plumbing parts saber hilts always look much better.

Generally we like to encourage members to stay away from the plastic Hasbro toy lightsabers as a costume prop, but as a temporary saber it will suffice, especially since you say you are going to modify it, paint it and such.
It's not mentioned in the TJA costume requirements that no toy sabers are allowed, but if so much effort is put into making a quality Jedi costume, then that same attention to detail should be given to the lightsaber, otherwise it just wouldn't look right, and may not be accepted for membership.
Have you thought about making a hardware saber while you wait for Randomsabers? It might cost you almost the same as customizing the Hasbro. And you'll be able to play around with design.

thank you for the answers and suggestions, the reason I decided on hasbro is the fact that that saber might make into my fan-film and I didnt have any plans to go into Evansville (the main center of commerice near my home, yes I am a backwoods hick) at the time that was posted. but now I do and I will gladly take your suggestions to heart.

A quick note on this--- The costume requirements have been modified to clarify the answer to the question posed here.The code now states that plastic toy lightsaber such as the Hasbro, Kenner, Rubies types are not acceptable for membership.

I have a Hasbro saber just repainted and it looks ok and my saber was okayed by Tanthos Jorlac The Assembly Founder he lives in my area. He okayed it because he knows that right now I can't afford to have one made by random sabers.
