|
|

Okay, so maybe I'm just being way too asinine about the whole belt clip thing, but everyone I'm seeing on eBay is going for about $13-$18 after shipping fees. Now, this is one of the last items I have on my list to purchase to complete my entire ensemble, but does anyone know of a good place other than eBay to purchase one of these bad boys? My costume is that of a Generic Old Republic Jedi, so I need one of the Covertec clips, but I really just don't want to spend so much money on a little piece of plastic. So yea, please give a noob some insight about where I should look to purchase one of these so I can save a few books...like I said, maybe I'm being too picky about this, but I really would rather not spend $16 on a little piece of plastic that is a lightsaber clip. |

There may be less expensive places, but I will say that the covertec clip is not really cheap. It actually feels pretty solid and holds the saber properly, which is important. It is worth $13 IMO. I got mine here:

Sweet action, I never actually noticed that they sell the Covertec clips there. I'll just buy mine from there, since I'm buying some parts from them to convert my MR Obi-Wan. Awesome, thanks Rob! |

As dumb as it may seem, being the last thing you need, the longer you wait to get one, the harder they will be to get. I say pay the price and just get it. _________________ What's the matter Col. Sanders? Chicken?! |

Thanks for the link. You can never have enough of these, and its always nice to have a backup. Obi-Wan forgot to mention losing these, cuz if you do, how are you going to hold your lightsaber in the first place?! lol. _________________ "You like me because I'm a scoundrel."

BTW......
Get the machined covertec buttons from TCSS. The aluminium buttons are far better than the plastic ones.
TCSS is your friend.
