These two lightsabre-type weapons are not included in my Ultimate Lightsabre package, nor are they available on my Free Stuff at all. Nor do I intend to make them available except in contests. You have a chance to win both of them. There will be two winners, with two different contests. Contest 1: Make a picture using my new JICC 3000 figure ($5 in the RMP if you don't have him yet). Put it up in the Poser gallery, credit me for JICC, and post a link to it here. The one I like best will get these two lightsabres. Contest 2 (No purchase necessary version): Tell me the official names of both of the lightsabres, spelled correctly as they appear in the source material that the designs are based on, and also tell me what the sources are. Here's a hint: neither has anything to do with Star Wars or any movie at all. Here's another hint: The reflection maps used on each are appropriate to the setting -- if you have products or Free Stuff of mine using these reflection maps, you should be able to identify them from the pic and that becomes a BIG hint. Third hint: They are really REALLY obscure and based only on line drawings.

The first contest is over in three days. The second is over as soon as someone posts correct answers.

I want to amend: The first contest is over in three days or as soon as there are five entries, whichever is later. I'm not going to give contest winnings away to a contest with almost no entries again.

The second one appears to be a Spaud, from Five Star Stories... the first one resembles the beam saber used by one of the Gundam ZZ mecha.

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

Noppers. Neither one.

I only recognize the one on the right, and knowing your interests it wasn't that difficult to identify. The one on the left still has me stumped, although I have my suspicions.

LD, youre right so far B^) and you're in the right vein for the other. Think older.

_dodger ( ) posted Sat, 22 February 2003 at 2:17 AM

Well, at least I'm assuming you're right, but knowing you yuo probably are B^)

Well, I have no idea... Please tell me you'll post the answer when all is said and done. ~DM

If no one gets it in a reasonable amount of time, I'll post the answer B^)

(left saber)-Enegizer bunny commercial where the lightsabers batteries run out? (right saber)- absolutely no clue.

_dodger ( ) posted Sat, 22 February 2003 at 3:54 PM

Nope, neither. (The Energiser bunny commercial would be Star Wars related anyway, and I said they were based only on line drawings.)

MachineClaw ( ) posted Sat, 22 February 2003 at 4:01 PM

DOH!

Here's another hint: You'll almost certainly need to be a gamer to stand a snowball's chance in hell.

Hello,

I have a picture up for the contest in the gallery at http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=340919&Start=1&Sectionid=1&WhatsNew=Yes which I hope everyone will like, though I am still not that good in poser.

Here's my entry. Thanks for the heads up on the contests. I purused some old rpg material and websites, but didn't come up with anything on the swords...
