Christmas Is Coming Fast!!! Beat the postal rush!
RARE! Icons
Darth Vader Officially Licensed Lightsaber Prop Replica
James Earl Jones Signature Edition - Low #068!!!
Mint In Box. Never Displayed!
Description
The item pictured below is the *exact* one you will receive. This outstanding, detailed prop replica is still in its original box and has the original paperwork, just as I received it directly from Icons back in the late 90s. I am the original owner and have never displayed it. The double-sided tape's backing on the plaque has never been removed/stuck. This saber was taken out of the box when I initially received it for inspection purposes, and then again to take the photos for this auction. The autographed plaque was actually signed by the voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones. This is a real autograph from Mr. Jones as part of Icons' signature series, so no two sigs are alike. These are hard to come by today, as not a whole lot appear to have been produced. Here's the best part: this edition bears a nice LOW number - 068 (out of a supposed 1,000)! Since Icons is no longer in business (they closed their doors nearly ten years ago), it is impossible to know for sure just how many signature edition Vader sabers were actually released. We can all consider this though: if they *had* produced the full run of 1,000, then you'd probably see a lot more being offered on eBay than you do now. The box condition is excellent and still has the original padding/packing material. The paperwork is in great shape and still in the original envelope. Of note: I do not see an "official looking" COA as the regular edition Vader saber had, so perhaps they never made one for this? You will see that the signature edition bases are different than the regular issue in that the plaque area is much larger (in order to accommodate the larger-than-normal signed plaque, of course). I will be sending this lightsaber in the box that it came in, thereby placing the label directly on the box. If you DO NOT WISH to have the original box marred in any way, I can place the original box inside a larger shipping box, and put padding around all sides. In doing this, the shipping price will cost more, since the Post Office bases the rates on box size and weight (and both will definitely go up). Just let me know your decision at the end of the auction. Please check out the photos below for further examination of this great collectible!

- PLEASE -
Read all the details above and below. By bidding on one or more of my auctions, it is understood that the bidder has read, understands, and agrees to comply with all auction, shipping, and payment rules as well as any other information. If there are questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me *before* the end of the auction!
I will ship Worldwide and I do combine shipping on items that can fit into one box!
- Shipping -
If you have won more than one item, I am happy to combine them in one invoice, so please *wait* for the invoice from me (in your e-mail's inbox) before paying. When winning *multiple* items, please do NOT use the eBay checkout (eBay calculates shipping in an odd manner, and the price will most likely end up being too high); again, please wait for my invoice which you will be able to pay from.
This will be sent via Parcel Post or Priority Mail (your choice) with Delivery Confirmation (U.S. customers only), well packed so that your item arrives unscathed. Insurance can be added after the auction is over and is optional (but always recommended). If the above item sells for over $250.00, and extra charge of $2.20 will be applied to the order to cover signature confirmation (per PayPal seller protection rules). I will always do my best to combine as many items as possible into one box to help save you money on shipping (on auctions ending within 3 days of one another). For winners outside of the USA (*any* country), Global Priority Mail is mandatory for all packages UNDER $250.00 in value. Global Express Mail will be used for all packages OVER $250.00 in value (yes, for *all* other countries outside the U.S.A., even Canada and Mexico). Please use the Postal Rate Calculator at the bottom of this page to figure out (estimated) shipping costs to your country.
I always try to be quick to get you your item(s) in a timely manner - many items are sent within a day or two of received payment!
THE POSTAL RATE CALCULATOR CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUCTION PAGE!
- Payment -
IMPORTANT NOTE: eBay has made some changes regarding money orders and checks. CLEARED payment is due within 7 days of the auction's end, and PayPal is now mandatory for ALL customers. If you wish to pay by check, eBay will no longer allow it unless you use PayPal to send an eCheck. Money orders are now a thing of the past. Sad, isn't it?
Again, cleared payment is due within 7 days of the auction's close. This auction is open to all countries in which I am allowed to ship to by law. By using the postal rate calculator on this auction's page, you can get a good idea how much this item will cost to send. The calculator is almost always accurate, but once in a while, I find that eBay hasn't updated *all* of the rates (it's never off by much though). Multiple winning auctions (within 3 days) can usually be combined to save on shipping rates, so be sure to check out my other auctions for more cool stuff.
Good luck, and Happy Bidding!
