We had a fairly big pre-Halloween weekend going to Armageddon, Olde Hallows Eve and a party then Halloween itself was a non-event.

I recently saw some ads for Lucas brand Force FX Lightsabers which has lots of kids doing some fairly impressive swordplay without ever actually touching sabers together because the toys themselves aren't strong enough to take the impact of kids hitting them together.

It seemed a toy like that is just asking for trouble.

Not sure which lightsaber you have Skyler so I didn't go with my first thought of smashing the blade and using the glass from the shroud to cut someone.

I've seen those in stores, Esoomian. I collect lightsaber toys and Halloween props and have thought a time or two about getting one of those. But their price has me holding off just yet. Still, they are cheaper than the FX replica sabers and as far as spending on myself goes that's more what I'd go for. Just wish they came in green around here. All I've seen is a red Vader style and a blue Anakin style.

The saber I had at the party is Anakin's Force FX replica saber. However, I also have two Vader, Obi Wan's from EPI I, Luke's from ROTJ, Darth Maul and Qui Gon's all in the toy sabers...hehehe

I likes me some lightsabers...

Let's see, like I said mine are all the toy or Halloween prop. Got a Vader Halloween prop, Anakin Halloween prop (real easy, they just changed the apperance a little and extendable red blade to a blue one), a couple Obi-Wan Halloween props (would have to see if I still have the packaging but I think it's TPM and RotS), an old style C cell flashlight lightsaber Halloween prop I got in the '90s (looks exactly like what it is, a flashlight someone tried making into a lightsaber and mass marketing but at the time there weren't very many lightsabers I could find anywhere) the Hasbro Qui-Gon saber, Hasbro Force action green lightsaber, and the second build your own lightsaber set from Hasbro. Would love to have some of the FX replicas.

I was at a charity event with the 501st Legion early this year...a Grand Rapids Griffins hockey game. I would like to get a saber or two from one of their guys...he makes them; however they are better quality that the FX replicas. HIS sabers you can actually duel with! Yeah, that's what I want...giggitygiggitygiggitygiggity!

Well I'm getting alerts concerning Sandy. Maybe vong is too, don't know on that front. Not in the area where the storm is supposed to make land fall but am in an area that's supposed to be potentially effected by the remnants. Looking at high wind and flood watches beginning tomorrow morning which could cause me to loose power. Hopefully nothing happens, but if something does I may not be on for a little while depending on how long it takes for the power company to restore power to my area. If I don't post here or in vong's game for a while, then I'm hopefully just without power and nothing worse has happened to me.

Hopefully the infrastructure in your area is decent, and there won't be much damage! I think we're just gonna be getting some rain.

10:24 PM here and so far still got power. Though the TV is cutting in and out at the moment do to signal problems with the dish. Still, plenty of DVDs to watch if it's lost, and more than enough books to read. Last warning I looke at said my area was under high wind warning until 6 in the morning.

Ankhanu, I'm sorry I didn't think of you. For some reason I thought you were closer to New Zeland or Australia in area.

Hehe, no worries, that's Eso Smile We're really not getting it; the strange path of the hurricane in towards Ontario is pretty unusual, it's gonna miss us completely... normally they track up our way!

Glad your power and everything is holding! Makes things much easier.

I think I'm the only active antipodean on the boards at the moment.

Glad to hear you've got power HC
