Scarce! (Case In Point: this is the only one up on eBay!)
Icons
Ben Kenobi Officially Licensed Lightsaber Prop Replica - #944
Mint with inner packing materials and paperwork - just missing outer 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 packing material and has the original paperwork, just as I received it directly from Icons back in the year 2000 (the year Icons closed its doors forever). I got this a couple months before Icons closed for business, and they had run out of the original white boxes by this time. Just so you know, the outer box is the only thing missing, and of course a missing shipping box does not detract from the displayability of this wonderful piece! 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 foam when I received it for inspection purposes, and then again to take the photos for this auction. These are hard to come by today since not very many were produced! I was told by an Icons employee once that roughly 750 of these sabers were produced before they lost the Lucasfilm license, making this the rarest of all the Icons sabers. The numbering found on each plaque was issued out of sequence on purpose. No one can really tell just how many Icons products were produced based on the highest number found as this simply doesn't mean anything. As an example, only about 3,000 Vader sabers were made out of the edition size of 10,000. I have seen numbers into the 6,000s. These low worldwide edition sizes are what make Icons products so rare today. We can all consider this though: if they *had* produced the full run of 10,000, then you'd probably see a lot more being offered on eBay than you do now (and this is the only one up on eBay at the moment, for example). Because of the scarcity, I have seen this saber sell for over $1,000 on eBay, but there is no reserve, so who knows how much this one will sell for!? The paperwork is in great shape and still in the original envelope. This will be sent in a box big enough the adequately protect this great prop replica and case! Please check out the photos below for further examination of this great collectible! This truly is the crowning glory of all Icons' collectibles. The craftsmanship is truly stunning!
Check out my other auctions for more great Icons pieces, some of which are quite rare! I also have the companions to this saber on eBay right now, the Luke Skywalker lightsaber with plaque signed by Mark Hamill and the James Earl Jones signature edition Icons saber - both are still in their original boxes and like new!!!

- 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!
